Resumen del Editor

This is the sixth chapter of The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up, Charles Ortleb's riveting history of the HHV-6, AIDS, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemics. Ortleb was the publisher and editor-in-chief of New York Native, the amazing newspaper that broke the biggest medical stories of the 20th century. Nobody in the world has done more than Ortleb to sound the alarm about all the diseases linked to HHV-6.
In this chapter of The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up, Neenyah Ostrom reports on how the NIH scientist assigned to research Chronic Fatigue Syndrome attempted to hide the nature of the epidemic from the American people. Charles Ortleb writes an editorial urging America's scientists to follows the lead of Japanese researchers who call Chronic Fatigue Syndrome "Low Natural Killer Syndrome." The New York Native uncovers an explosive letter sent to the Surgeon General by a physician suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The doctor warns that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is highly contagious and is causing a major epidemic among health care workers. The New York Native also publishes a disturbing letter from a reader who warns that the AIDS activist group, ACT UP, is endangering the gay community. In an article on Gilda Radner, Neenyah Ostrom raises the possibility that the beloved performer's fatal cancer was actually a complication of her Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. A German reader writes to the Native expressing alarm about the similarities of AIDS pseudoscience and Nazi science.
“A rollicking, fascinating and important memoir.” —Hillary Johnson, author of Osler's Web, Inside the Labyrinth of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic
