Essential!,

This review is from: The Clinical and Scientific Basis of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis--Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Hardcover)
An excellent resource from Dr Byron Hyde MD (editor).This book is the one and only M.E. textbook. This book is essential reading for anyone with M.E., or an interest in M.E. Buy this book!!! Not all of the many chapters in this book are worthwhile or still current, BUT this book is well worth the price and the 5 stars even if only for the five or six chapters written by Dr Hyde, unarguably the world's leading M.E. expert. I'd also highly recommend you check out Dr Hyde's more recent writings. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Jodi Bassett, The Hummingbirds' Foundation for M.E.

Still worth reading after all these years...,
By Melissa Kaplan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Clinical and Scientific Basis of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis--Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Hardcover)
Shortly after I was diagnosed with CFS and FM by Jay Goldstein, MD, I attended a "CFS and the Brain" conference at which Byron Hyde and several other researchers who appear in this book's pages spoke and shared their research and questions. Nearly a decade later, much of the information in this book is still germane - and interesting, such as the historical recounting of epidemics through the years, brain imaging patterns, neurocognitive abnormalities and more.If you aren't interested in this book for yourself, consider buying this book and donating it to your local public library or CFS/FM/MCS/ME or neuroimmune/autoimmune diseases support group so it can be read and learned from by those who are unable to afford it for themselves. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: The Clinical and Scientific Basis of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis--Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Hardcover)
An excellent resource from Dr Byron Hyde MD (editor).This book is the one and only M.E. textbook. This book is essential reading for anyone with M.E., or an interest in M.E. Buy this book!!! Not all of the many chapters in this book are worthwhile or still current, BUT this book is well worth the price and the 5 stars even if only for the five or six chapters written by Dr Hyde, unarguably the world's leading M.E. expert. I'd also highly recommend you check out Dr Hyde's more recent writings. I cannot recommend them highly enough. As Dr Hyde explains, M.E. is not 'CFS.' "At the first meeting on the 27th of October 2005, the Chairman of the Joint Committee, Dr Ian Gibson, asked me to prepare a report and definition that might assist the committee in its further deliberations. The following are my original recommendation. Dr Bruce Carruthers, who chaired the 2003 Canadian Clinical Case Definition for M.E./CFS, was also present when I gave this definition. I strongly disagreed with Dr Caruthers in the merging the definitions of M.E. and CFS since on the basis of the physical total body assessment of both M.E. and CFS patients; these two names represent two entirely different spectrums of illnesses. It is increasingly obvious that too much importance was being placed upon the definitions of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), and not enough upon the actual disease, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.). These two illness spectrums are not the same and should not be considered to be the same. Nor is there any doubt in my mind that the various definitions of CFS actively impede physicians' ability to make a rapid and rational diagnosis as well as a scientific confirmation of any testable illness. Such is not true of M.E. where a rapid and rational diagnosis can be made that can be confirmed by laboratory and other technological testing.' DR BYRON HYDE 2011 "One has to cease believing that M.E. resembles or is the same as CFS. One has to cease believing those who patent virus and infectious agents for profit are necessarily going to tell the truth. If one looks only at M.E. and the diagnostic principles outlined above it is obvious that only one group of viruses can fit the picture as the causal agent of M.E. and those are the enterovirus family. There are no known patents on this group of viruses." DR BYRON HYDE 2011 Jodi Bassett, The Hummingbirds' Foundation for M.E. 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful
