Wed, 06/09/2010 - 12:38pm
I saw this out in the facebook world of fibromyalgia community and thought I'd encourage you to read and follow the link if you think it is interesting. I certainly welcome Jodi Bassett and Cathy van Riel and others with the Hummingbirds' Foundation for Myalgic Encepahlomyelitis or those who are following them to Comment and support and share! From what I can tell this is a very good website, CERTAINLY worth a look for what YOU find/think/feel ~~ Mardy

A new paper is available: Oral, IV, injected and transdermal magnesium and M.E. by Jodi Bassett of HFME
This paper explains: What are the many benefits of magnesium? What are the symptoms of magnesium deficiency? What is the appropriate dose of magnesium for M.E. and how do you know if you are deficient? How safe is magnesium? What are the extra benefits of transdermal magnesium?
Information on magnesium is particularly important for anyone taking calcium supplements that is NOT taking at least as much magnesium as calcium.
This link is to the area of the website about magnesium but you can see the extensive overview of layout of the site off to the left side and it's well organized and extensive. I encourage you to follow and see!

I very much encourage people to follow the link to read about the history of the ME name, how it is utilzed, what CFS means/is and etc., particularly those of us in the U.S. I've said for a while there is shifting and better understanding going on all the time and we will all benefit from 'getting on the right sheet of music' and sooner rather than later.

PARTLY what you will find at this link is:
Since 1956 the term Myalgic Encephalomyelitis has been used to describe the illness in the UK, Europe Canada and Australasia. This term has stood the test of time for more than 50 years. The recorded medical history of M.E. as a debilitating organic neurological illness affecting children and adults is substantial; it spans over 70 years and has been published in prestigious peer-reviewed journals all over the world.
...
A review of early M.E. outbreaks found that clinical symptoms were consistent in over sixty recorded epidemics spread all over the world. It has also been confirmed that the epidemic cases of M.E., and the sporadic cases of M.E. each represented the same illness – and that modern day M.E. patients are also suffering with this same illness which was first documented in the 1930s. The damage to the brain indicated by the name ‘Myalgic Encephalomyelitis’ also continues to be documented in modern cases of M.E.
However, of course this damage is NOT seen in all those with post-viral fatigue syndromes and so on who merely qualify for a (mis)diagnosis of 'CFS.' 'CFS' and M.E. are NOT the same and the vast majority of those given a 'CFS' misdiagnosis do NOT have M.E. (nor any other distinct neurological disease.)
...... There is much more in this link at at their website of value to reading, so please go if YOU want!
