Professor Kenny De Meirleir saken i den Engelske avisen telegraph!
Studies in Australia have shown that between 60 and 70 per cent of diagnosed patients suffer from large numbers of bacteria called enterococci and streptococchi in their gut.
Brussels, who created the new test, said that these bacteria, in combination with metals like mercury, stimulate the creation of high levels of a gas, Hydrogen Sulphate, in the body.
This in turn sets off a chain of reactions which limit the body’s ability to produce energy, he added, and creates a build-up of acid which muscles find difficult to break down.
In patients with severe symptoms the syndrome can cause large numbers of abnormal proteins in the body, which also inhibit the process of energy conversion, he added.
Prof De Meirleir, who has tried the new test on hundreds of patients, and who will present his findings at the Invest In ME conference in London on Friday, said: “We are seeing a positive result in 80 to 90 per cent of patients sent to us.
“I would say that if you do not have this bacteria, you do not have ME.”
Many patients could be treated with a combination of a change in diet, probiotics and antibiotics, to alter the bacteria in their gut, he said.
