{{NeedsImage}} '''Martin Lev''' was born in 1959 in England. He was a founding member of the patient group [[Action for ME]]. He committed [[suicide]] in 1992.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a829034/bugsy-malone-where-are-they-now-tallulah-blousey-fat-sam/ | title = Bugsy Malone cast - where are they now? | last = Eames | first = Tom | date = 2018-06-23 | website = Digital Spy|language=en-GB|access-date=2021-12-17}}</ref> == Illness == Lev suffered from [[Myalgic Encephalomyelitis]] (ME).<ref name="LevIMDb" /> == Interviews == Lev was antipathetic towards the [[MEA]]: "If Dr Shepherd and the [[ME Association]] are so keen on having research done on these supposedly ineffective treatments why don't they put their 1/4 million worth of research funds into proving or disproving the nutritional approach?" "Blaming illnesses on mysterious [[virus]]es is very much in vogue these days. But it's becoming very clear to us that 'hunting the bug' ie, blaming ME exclusively on a virus is an incomplete, if not hazardous approach to medicine."(sic) "One need only look at the many [[AIDS]] patients being made more ill by taking AZT, with its myriad of side-effects…" "Until we do root out the cause of ME, isn't the best approach to be open to all possible causes and not to pour cold water on complementary approaches, particularly if they are making patients better?"<ref name="LevWDDTY">{{Cite web |url=https://www.wddty.com/magazine/1991/april/me-time-for-peer-review-of-alternative-therapists-claims.html|work =What Doctors Don't Tell You - ME - time for peer review of alternative therapists claims?|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160501191923/https://www.wddty.com/magazine/1991/april/me-time-for-peer-review-of-alternative-therapists-claims.html |archive-date = 2016-05-01|url-status=dead|volume =2 | date = Apr 1991 | issue =1 | title = ME - time for peer review of alternative therapists claims?}}</ref> == Advocacy == Lev was a founder member of [[Action for ME]]<ref name=":0" /> and at one point was the organisation's president.<ref name="LevIMDb">{{Cite web|url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0505106/bio | title = Martin Lev|website=IMDb|access-date=2021-12-17}}</ref> == Online presence == *[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0505106/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm IMDb page] == See also == *[[Action for ME]] *[[Arts]] *[[Charles Shepherd]] == References == {{Reflist}} [[Category:People with ME, CFS, and/or FMS]] [[Category:Famous people with ME, CFS, and/or FMS]] [[Category:British famous people with ME, CFS, and/or FMS]] [[Category:Deceased people with ME, CFS, and/or FMS]]
