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
