Dr Vojdani- who researched and wrote an abstract on CFS while on staff at Immed- Dr Garth Nicholson.s company (mycoplasma) comes up with a patent for a new Lyme/tick borne illness test: Ironic, eh? Think CFS and Lyme could be related? tinyurl.com/bclnzdUnited States Patent 7,390,626 Vojdani June 24, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Methods and kit for diagnosing tick borne illnesses Abstract ELISA, Western Blot, and a peptide-based ELISA were applied to clinical specimens from patients with clinical symptoms of tick borne diseases, including Lyme disease. Peptides from different components of Borrelia during different cycles, including peptides from outer surface protein, leukocyte function associated antigens, immunodominant antigens, variable major proteins, and peptides from decorin-binding proteins of Borrelial subspecies (B. sensu stricto.

Me too, Kmarie!
The irony, which I didn't point out, is that Dr Vojdani is one of the doctor/researchers at Incline Village- the 1st (recorded) Chronic Fatigue outbreak - Lake Tahoe- circa 1984.
The cause they later learned was the MTBE found in Lake Tahoe.
Irony that he is turning his attention to Lyme and other tick bourne diseases?
