  New York Times: "CFS Finally Gaining Some Official Respect" 



Advocacy Alert: 7/17/2007

NY Times Recognizes CFS

Take Action!

Thank the editors today 

The July 17 edition of the New York Times, the nation's most respected daily newspaper, includes an article in its Science section titled, "Chronic fatigue no longer seen as 'yuppie flu.'" The article addresses some of the latest research and the controversy it has spurred. The CDC's public awareness campaign is acknowledged, as is the issue of the name "CFS." In spite of disagreements, author David Tuller states, "But nearly everyone now agrees that the syndrome is real."

You can read the article online at http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/17/science/17fatigue.html?_r=1&ref=science&oref=slogin.

This is the first science article affirming the reality and severity of CFS to be published in the New York Times. Thank the editors for this article using our quick and easy form.
