Hello greetings from California I'm Ronald Davis at Stanford University.We work extensively on ME/CFS. We've recently published a paper on a biomarker that may be used to diagnose patients, however we are also working on a number of other biomarker techniques which we might find necessary to use in combination to distinguish the patients from other diseases.We're also working extensively on all the pathways in patients that seem to be disrupted. This effort is to hope to find new treatments that may help the patients.Our major hypothesis currently is called the metabolic trap. So far we have been unable to show that it's not correct and that's the way you do science. We are continuing to work on this but more of the evidence now is that it is probably correct.When we are convinced that this is the correct problem at least for most of the patients we will then work on how to get you out of the trap.So I'm very optimistic that what we're doing as well as researchers all over the world are extensively working on this in major collaborations and I'm hoping that we'll be able to come up with better treatments and hopefully a cure for this disease.Thank you.
