I might not know what I'm talking about here (that does still happen to me often), but why I think this is so exciting is because even if it doesn't turn out to be the CFS test that we're all hoping for, it might just turn out to be something that could be even more important.

What if this were a way to give people general testing for the presence of biofilm or intracellular infections that can be difficult to impossible to detect with conventional lab methods (partly because of their habit of growing slowly or not at all when labs try to grow cultures of them, and probably partly because of their habit of hiding in human cells)?

These types of infections are sometimes known for being able to give nothing but false negatives with conventional tests, and may be involved in contributing to a wide variety of diseases. I don't know if doctors often pursue the matter past a false negative, or are often versed in looking for signs of biofilm.

As I understand it, "chronic infection" might be a good reason to suspect biofilm, whereas an "acute" infection may be largely non-biofilm. Something that gave them reason to keep looking into infections when they usually give up might be quite a blessing.

It might turn out not to be that, but perhaps if it were, it might benefit a far greater number of people than just ME/CFS patients.

I'm basing those comments, though, on some of the work and comments of people that the ORF has put a spotlight on with good reason, like Fluge and Naviaux, so who knows?

Very good news at any rate, though, and the accuracy rate they're reporting is truly remarkable. Thank you!

This is HUGE! I logged on just to post this and I see it was already posted. It is the most exciting thing to happen to ME/CFS research!
