The former staff described clear objective signs that the cause of illness was physical in origin, and stated that most staff at the time believed it was the result of an [[infection|infectious disease]].<ref name="Underhill2021" /> ==Books== *2002, Dr. Underhill was on the writing committee for ''[[A Consensus Manual for the Primary Care and Management of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome]]'', Joseph F.
