  • The exact disease mechanism is unknown, with research suggesting disturbances in the immune and nervous systems, the gut and energy production.
  • There is no cure for ME.
  • A serious under-investment in rigorous biomedical research into ME has meant that the illness remains somewhat of a mystery.
  • The absence of proven or effective treatments has created an environment allowing unproven treatment claims to thrive and potentially mislead vulnerable patients.
  • Addressing this gap in research funding is crucial for promoting scientific integrity and ensuring that treatments are grounded in robust scientific evidence.
