An Evening with CFS Pioneer Paul Cheney, MD, PhD
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome:
Is Oxygen the Problem and Why?
A Four-Part Treatment Protocol
In addition to presenting a broad overview of CFS including important principles, case definition, clinical findings,
objective data, key medical literature, Dr. Cheney will present on
oxygen toxicity in CFS as well as his latest four-part treatment protocol:
Oxygen Toxicity as a Controlling Factor for CFS
This
section of the presentation will focus on the research finding of
nearly 100% toxicity in CFS patients when oxygen is administered. Dr.
Cheney will present evidence that patients categorized according to
increasingly powerful treatment protocols were transformed to an
increasingly oxygen tolerant state. The most powerful treatment
protocol was also associated with significant overall clinical
improvement. Conclusions drawn from this are CFS is an oxygen toxic
state, oxygen toxicity status appears to determine outcome in
therapeutic trials, and oxygen toxicity is key to this illness. These
findings appear to force a narrowing of potential causes of CFS because
whatever pathophysiology one puts forth must explain universal oxygen
toxicity in CFS. Dr. Cheney will also present recent evidence of the
likely cause of this oxygen toxicity.
Cell Associated Therapy for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome:
Is this the Next Frontier?
Dr.
Cheney will discuss the use of low molecular weight (LMW), mammalian
tissue derived peptides as therapeutic agents when applied to the skin
using novel transdermal gels. These LMW peptides are known to control
gene expression and can shift organ function toward normal. Data will
be presented from a one-year prospective trial in CFS using these LMW
peptides which produced significant improvement in function. Therapy
with LMW peptides from cell associated, mammalian tissue homogenates
appear to offer a significant benefit in CFS, especially where it
counts the most, namely, the functioning of the patient. (or ...
namely, the patients' ability to do more and feel better.)
