——————————————–

Ser jo ut til å være et inntresant program. Sikkert ikke så mye nytt men, en fin oppvarming til den internasjonale ME/CFS konferansen i USA mars. 2009. Gledelig at noe av arbeidet til Dr. John W. Gow skal presenterer på denne konferansen. Dr. Gow søkte i 2006 om patent på en gentest, som muligens er klar i 2010 da saksbehandlingen av patentet er forventet ferdig. Hvorfor kan han ikke bruke testen i mellomtiden? Gow har også uttalt at de er i gang med full gjennomkjøring av det siste og avgjørende arbeidet på det genetiske rundt ME, og de regner med å presentere det i 2010, passer jo yppelig med patentet.
