 Falsely represented, March 3, 2010 |

The book arrived timely but is in poor condition contrary to what seller stated in the advert. The book has numerous marking with diferent color highlighters. I would not believe this sellers discription of items.

| Incomplete, December 8, 2009 |

Nothing on ME (CFS), a common and extremely disabling neuroendocrine immune disease known since the 1980s to be associated with multiple viral and bacterial infections including retrovirus infection and b cell lymphomas (and now, of course, associated with XMRV).
The horrendous incompetence of NIH and CDC including the Epidemiology Intelligence Service (EIS) in bungling this pandemic is an instructive case study in what not to do (eg. don't ski the whole time when you are supposed to be investigating the Tahoe outbreak). For this fascinating story read Osler's Web: Inside the Labyrinth of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic
