Feature Papers (Peer Reviewed)

​​Come, Let Us Reason Together

Supplementary Contributions

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Quantum Mechanical Perspective
Dr Ricardo J. Simeoni
 
This article is well timed with the first ever World ME Day just around the corner on May 12th, 2022 (ME is the acronym for myalgic encephalomyelitis, also know as chronic fatigue syndrome).  It is quite fitting that May 12th aligns with the birthday of (and so honours) one of the great matriarchs of Medicine, Florence Nightingale.  ME appreciation events have run in previous years, but this is the first time major working and support groups have collaboratively come together from across the globe in such a manner, with the event likely to attract an audience of millions.  The article introduces ME to the unfamiliar and shares a Case Study of interest.  We Hope that it brings Hope.  

Please note that an extended version of this article, supporting World ME Day and its theme of #LearnFromME, which was published May 9th, 2022 is available from the Author.
