Once, when I couldn't afford an operation, he touched up the X-rays." - Joey Bishop A Long-Awaited Milestone I had the great good fortune of seeing a personal milestone passed with the recent (International ME Patient & Caregiver) conference in Oslo, Norway. I can remember 25 years ago hearing someone say that in the future there would someday be medical conferences packed with healthcare providers studying how to diagnose and treat ME/CFS. I can remember being a little dubious. But now I can say that I have seen it come to pass... the conference center was packed with over 450 healthcare providers. From the February issue of Lyndonville News (www.DavidSBell.com) Dr. David Bell's e-newsletter. Dr. Bell's new book, Cellular Hypoxia and Neuro-Immune Fatigue, is an explanation of emerging research.
