[[File:Dr. Martin Lerner.png|thumb|Source: treatmentcenterforcfs.com]] Dr. '''A. Martin Lerner''', aka '''Martin Lerner,''' (d. 2015) was a much beloved and respected [[ME/CFS|Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome]] specialist who died in October 2015, at the age of 86.<ref>http://www.irakaufman.com/mobile/detail.php?id=5990</ref> He was one of the experts on the [[Institute of Medicine report|"Committee on the Diagnostic Criteria for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome"]] that was convened for the 2015 [[Institute of Medicine report]],<ref>{{Cite book | title = Biographical Sketches of Committee Members, Consultants, and Staff|language=en | url =https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK284904/ | date = 2015-02-10| publisher = National Academies Press (US) | last = Syndrome | first = Committee on the Diagnostic Criteria for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue | last2 = Populations | first2 = Board on the Health of Select | last3 = Medicine | first3 = Institute of}}</ref> as well as, one of the authors of the 2003 [[Canadian Consensus Criteria]] for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, published as [http://phoenixrising.me/wp-content/uploads/Canadian-definition.pdf ''Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome:Clinical Working Case Definition,Diagnostic and Treatment Protocols'']<ref>http://phoenixrising.me/wp-content/uploads/Canadian-definition.pdf</ref> He was a strong advocate of using antivirals because he hypothesized CFS is caused by 3 [[herpesvirus]]es: [[Epstein-Barr virus]], [[cytomegalovirus]] and/or [[Human herpesvirus 6]]. "These three viruses establish “latent” infection in B-lymphocytes, monocyte-macrophage precursors, or T-lymphocytes respectively. Virus reactivation, and both abortive and complete virus multiplication occur. Therefore CFS patients have been described with continuing primary or reactivated infections.<ref>"http://treatmentcenterforcfs.com/personal_statement/index.html</ref> ==Notable studies in ME/CFS== *2003, [[Myalgic encephalomyelitis|Myalgic Encephalomyelitis]]/[[Chronic fatigue syndrome|Chronic Fatigue Syndrome]]: Clinical Working Case Definition, Diagnostic and Treatment Protocols<ref name="Carruthers, 2003" /> - [http://phoenixrising.me/wp-content/uploads/Canadian-definition.pdf (Full Text)] *2012, Antibody to Epstein-Barr Virus Deoxyuridine Triphosphate Nucleotidohydrolase and Deoxyribonucleotide Polymerase in a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Subset<ref name="Lerner, 2012" /> - [http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0047891 (Full Text)] ==Talks and interviews== ===Talks on Lerner's webpage=== *August 22, 2007 – Dr. A Martin Lerner presenting Medical Grand Rounds at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, MI on the Topic of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. - [http://treatmentcenterforcfs.com/video/2007.html (Video)] *May 23, 2008 – Dr. A Martin Lerner’s presentation on The Sub-grouping & Treatment for ME/CFS, at the 3rd annual Invest in ME International ME/CFS Conference in London, England. - [http://treatmentcenterforcfs.com/video/2008.html (Video)] *October 12, 2010 – Dr. A Martin Lerner’s presentation on Successful Antiviral Treatment of CFS and Its Science at the CFSAC biannual meeting hosted by the Department of Health and Human Services in Washington, DC. - [http://treatmentcenterforcfs.com/video/2010.html (Video)] *August 20, 2011, Part 1 – Dr. A Martin Lerner presenting at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, MI to infectious disease physicians in Michigan "A Primer on ME/CFS -Background, Virology, Immunology, Pathologic Physiology, Diagnosis and Treatment." - [http://treatmentcenterforcfs.com/video/2011-prt1.html (Video)]; [http://treatmentcenterforcfs.com/video/documents/Dr.AMLerner-PrimeronMECFS.pdf PDF Download of presentation slides]; [http://treatmentcenterforcfs.com/video/documents/MECFSTreatmentResourceGuideforPractitioners.pdf PDF Download of ME/CFS Treatment Resource Guide for Practitioners] *August 20, 2011, Part 2 – Dr. A Martin Lerner presenting at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, MI to infectious disease physicians in Michigan "A Primer on ME/CFS -Background, Virology, Immunology, Pathologic Physiology, Diagnosis and Treatment."- [http://treatmentcenterforcfs.com/video/2011-prt2.html (Video)]; [http://treatmentcenterforcfs.com/video/documents/Dr.AMLerner-PrimeronMECFS.pdf PDF Download of presentation slides]; [http://treatmentcenterforcfs.com/video/documents/MECFSTreatmentResourceGuideforPractitioners.pdf PDF Download of ME/CFS Treatment Resource Guide for Practitioners] ===Invest in ME International ME Conference=== *2008, Speaker at the 3rd Invest in ME International ME Conference on ''Diagnosis and Treatment of ME/CFS - Longitudinal Observations of Cardiac and Antiviral studies''<ref>http://www.investinme.org/IIMEC3.shtml#agenda</ref> - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0qn9zK0znc (Video)] ==Online presence== * [http://web.archive.org/web/20190327093352/http://www.treatmentcenterforcfs.com/ Treatment Center for CFS] * [https://mecfsviralresearch.altervista.org Dr Lerner's Published Studies] Also [http://web.archive.org/web/20191101170704/http://www.treatmentcenterforcfs.com/cfs_publications/index.html here]. ==Learn more== *2016, [http://www.healthrising.org/blog/2016/08/12/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-fibromyalgia-recovery-lerner/ Recovering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia – The Lerner Way] ([[Health Rising]]) ==See also== *[[Energy Index Point Score]] *[[Abortive infection theory of ME/CFS]] (Dr Lerner's theory that abortive herpesviruses cause ME/CFS) ==References== <references> <ref name="Carruthers, 2003">{{Citation | last1 = Carruthers | first1 = Bruce M. | author-link1 = Bruce Carruthers | last2 = Jain | first2 = Anil Kumar | authorlink2 = Anil Kumar Jain | last3 = De Meirleir | first3 = Kenny L. | author-link3 = Kenny De Meirleir | last4 = Peterson | first4 = Daniel L. | author-link4 = Daniel Peterson | last5 = Klimas | first5 = Nancy G. | author-link5 = Nancy Klimas | last6 = Lerner | first6 = A.
