Research Paper
Viral Infection in CFS Patients
W. John Martin M.D. Ph.D
Center for Complex Infectious Diseases

As outlined in the preceding manuscript (1), the use of low stringency polymerase chain reaction (PCR) had provided evidence for persistent viral infection in several patients diagnosed as having the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). The viral sequences were detected in patients' blood using a set of PCR primers reactive with regions of the gene coding the gp 64 late antigen (LA) of human cytomegalovirus.

Medical Article
Traditional Native American Medicine - Treatment of Chronic Illness:
Lewis E. Mehl-Madrona, M.D., Ph.D.


Increasingly, traditional Native American healing practices are being requested by Native Americans and non-Natives alike. A series of meetings among traditional Native American healers and the author resulted in a dialogue between the Native American world view and that of biomedicine. Recommendations arose for how treatment should proceed in the modern world and how best to introduce interested non-Natives to Native American healing practices. An approach was developed for bridging cultures to facilitate the interaction of non-Natives with traditional healers.

Research Paper
Infectious Causes of Chronic Inflammatory Diseases

Dr. Gail H. Cassell


Powerful diagnostic technology, plus the realization that organisms of otherwise unimpressive virulence can produce slowly progressive chronic disease with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations and disease outcomes, has resulted in the discovery of new infectious agents and new concepts of infectious diseases.
