The NIH/CDC Addendum to the CFS, 2010 Diagnostic Criteria
A minimum of tests should be performed;
Tests have no known value; and
Tests do not aid in diagnosis or management of the CFS patient.

Royal Free Epidemic, London UK 1955-1957
255 MDs, Nurses & Staff became chronically ill in this epidemic, first to be called Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. All were hospitalized, some for months.
Psychiatrists, Beard & McEvedy, without examining a single patient, called this Mass Hysteria. The press gobbled it up.

Psychiatrists Beard & McEvedy
In a case heard before Justice McPherson on June 26,1989, the Lawyer Mr. Beckman, referring to a patient, asked Psychiatrist Alfred Beard:
Mr. Beckman asked:
“Did you then examine him?”
Dr. Beard answered.“A Psychiatrist does not ordinarily conduct a physical examination.”

It is obvious from these few words, that the NIH/CDC, like Beard and McEvedy,
believe that CFS is a Psychiatric disease.
Apparently, one does not have to examine patients as long as you consider them Psychiatric patients.

The Official Interpretation of CFS
Lets be honest with ourselves… according to:
1. the NIH/CDC;
2. the Insurance Industry; and
3. 90% of the World’s Physicians
CFS is a Psychiatric manifestation.
![Page 8: nightingale 121 Iona Street, Ottawa, Canada K1Y 3M1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815555550346895dc3209f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
However, It Can Get Worse
Many Physicians and the public consider CFS to be a joke.
The Patient is then laughed at, or treated with contempt.

No Examinations
Thanks to the NIH/CDC definitions that state CFS patients should not be examined, most CFS patients have never been systematically examined.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis
There is only ONE IMPORTANT CLUE
in the diagnosis of M.E.
And it is…

Significant Pain & Arthritic Pathologies
100 % of 153 consecutive patients with significant pain syndromes had Measurable Arthritic Indicators.

Thyroid Pathology
Employing Mayo Clinic guidelines, more than 50% of M.E. patients seen by Nightingale, had Atrophic Thyroid.
Only 23% of M.E. females had a normal Thyroid volume.

Conclusions
The previous short list of Major Pathologies found routinely in CFS and M.E. patients,can only be diagnosed if the Physician investigated the patient.
By dismissing M.E. & CFS patients as the NIH, CDC & many Psychiatrists routinely have done as Psychiatric expressions of disease the treatable pathologies will never be found.

More Conclusions
In 25 Years of Testing M.E. and CFS Patients,I have yet to find a single patient who has been adequately investigated.
All CFS patients are: “Missed Diagnoses” with Multiple Missed Pathologies.
All M.E. and CFS patients have multiple pathologies, some which are treatable if diagnosed.
