Below you will find a commentary on Incline Village by Erik Johnson. He is

one of the patients from the 1984 US Incline Village ME epidemics and a patient

of the dedicated Drs Peterson and Cheney who insisted that the US CDC and

government investigate the illness.

 

In  Help ME Circle, 15 January 2004

he described how the severely ill people from the Incline Village epidemic

were abused by doctors, who told them that they were just burned out,

overstressed complainers that brought this upon themselves by bad diet and poor

attitude.

Incline Village & Myalgic Encephalomyelitis 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

Dr. Peterson and Dr Cheney were confronted with an unfamiliar medical entity

and asked for assistance from the CDC, which, as we learn in Osler's Web on

page 638 when Dr Klimas, upon presenting Dr Reeves with a " handsomely bound book

 

containing nearly fifty scientific articles identifying immunological

abnormalities in the disease " ,  was informed by Dr. Reeves, " We have a medical

library here " .

 

Dr.s Hyde, Parish and Shelokov walked out the the CDC's Holmes committee in

protest at the very moment an illness they recognized to be ME was re-named

CFS.

 

Even with their knowledge of ME, and Ramsay's work, these ME literate

physicians were unable to exert their influence to alter the course of events,

 

I draw your attention to page 219 of Osler's Web and the chapter " Fatigue

Unto Death " which recounts that " myalgic encephalomyelitis " was one of the names

under consideration by the Holmes committee, but was rejected along with

" Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome " as lending the illness too much credibility by

appending nomenclature which implicated a viral etiology.
