Plenty of chatter in the papers and we have seen that before now waiting until they are calling me in for testing has the psycho crowd worried so no bad thing there then.
Having researchers of such renown gives a credibility that has long been a bugbear of medical research in this field, how difficult it has been to get high quality biological studies like this off the ground must change in future. The amounts of money spent on research are in no way related with the economic, social and disabling effects of this disease which must be changed as a priority, the Elephant in the room is money with the first biological research funded by the MRC
(Medical Research Council) in 2011- very little very late.

Professor Michael Sharpe, professor of psychological medicine at the University of Oxford, said: "Whilst this finding that some patients with CFS/ME have an immune abnormality is potentially interesting, we should treat it with great caution … This type of study [a case-control study] is notorious for producing findings that other researchers subsequently fail to replicate."
