Chronic Fatigue is the authentic, fascinating and riveting account of the author’s journey in the ‘heart of darkness’ of modern medicine, the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME). It describes how he discovered the pathogens that sustain CFS/ME in animals and humans, began to understand their connection, serendipitously found a cure, and is now using that knowledge to help people with Long Covid, the new embodiment of CFS/ME. Both panoramic and personal, it is a must read book for all those who are looking for answers.

I wonder what happened to him.

On a previous Internet forum a patient went to see him I remember.
 
It never ends.

"NEW CASE REPORT:A woman diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) for 40 years!A blood smear identified Bartonella grade 4, the highest grade. She also had a diagnosis of celiac disease. When patients have such a severe infection, they often receive multiple diagnoses based on their symptoms: CFS, POTS, MCAS, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Brain fog, and others. However, the symptoms are consequences, not the root cause. One can spend their entire life taking symptomatic medications without ever being cured.

This patient waited 40 years to have a simple peripheral blood smear,a well-known test, over 100 years old and inexpensive.Direct visualization of the pathogen confirms the presence of a current, active and persistent infection.

Another significant advantage is that microscopy allows observation of the severity of the infection,the microbial load (number of pathogens)and the extent of blood cell involvement.We have published the results of 322 blood smearsreviewed by Dr. Walter Tarello ( wtarello@yahoo.it ):

Abstract from this article:

MATERIALS AND METHODS. A peripheral blood smear was examined using optical microscopy. The inclusion criteria were: 1) that the patient's primary diagnosis be ME/CFS or CFS or ME, 2) that they not have been diagnosed with Long COVID, and 3) that they have submitted a properly prepared peripheral blood smear slide for visualization. The search for bacteria, parasites, and fungi was performed by veterinary medical expert Walter Tarello, who has over 30 years of experience in microscopy. RESULTS. A total of 352 blood smears received between 2024 and 2026 met the inclusion criteria, of which at least one pathogenic microorganism was identified in 322 (91,5%). The patients came mostly from European countries, as well as the United States, Australia, and Russia. Table 1 shows the pathogenic microorganisms identified with their corresponding percentage for each one. The most frequently identified microorganism was the parasite Babesia (microti, divergens, venatorum, duncani, odocoilei, bovis, others), which was found in 66.8% of all patients, that is, in 215 of the 322 cases. The next three most frequent bacteria were: Bartonella (henselae, others) with 50.9% (identified in 164 of 322 cases), Mycoplasma with 30.7% (in 99 of 322 cases), and Borrelia (burgdorferi, others) with 14.3% (in 46 of 322 cases). Anaplasma and Malassezia were identified at 3.1% each (10 of 322). Microsporidia, Micrococcus (corresponding to Staphylococcus), Ehrlichia, Candida, Plasmodium and others were identified at less than 3% each. The percentages shown in the Table add up to more than 100% because in 51.2% of the blood smears (165 of 322) 2, 3, 4 or 5 pathogens were identified in the same patient.

Edited to sort formatting of copied material. I am not very with it this afternoon but does this warrant a thread of its own?
