Notable quotes
Immune System Disruption - Stanford Med

"Montoya is one of only a handful of clinician-researchers who accept ME/CFS patients, and he currently has a waiting list of about 150.

Back in 2005, while attending a conference on toxoplasmosis in Paris, Montoya told his mentor that he wanted to research ME/CFS. His mentor scoffed at the idea, pointing to a homeless person lying in a Parisian gutter.

'That’s going to be you if you go into chronic fatigue research,' the mentor told him.'"

Heads the Stanford ME/CFS Research Initiative
"An initiative dedicated to studying infection-associated chronic diseases. Using multidisciplinary approaches to understand the causes behind ME/CFS."

Dr. Montoya and Professor Michael Zeineh and Colleagues Studied Brain Images

"Radiology researchers have discovered that the brains of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome have diminished white matter and white matter abnormalities in the right hemisphere."
