Researchers Identify Characteristic Chemical Signature for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

“…our findings show that the cellular metabolic response is the same in patients,” said the author. “And interestingly, it’s chemically similar to the dauer state you see in some organisms, which kicks in when environmental stresses trigger a slow-down in metabolism to permit survival under conditions that might otherwise cause cell death. In CFS, this slow-down comes at the cost of long-term pain and disability.”
