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

Stanford Medicine News Center By: Bruce Goldman "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."

Brains of People With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Offer Clues About Disorder

NY Times WELL By: David Tuller "The scientists found differences in both the white matter, the long, cablelike nerve structures that transmit signals between parts of the brain, and the gray matter, the regions where these signals are processed and interpreted."
