Since 1994, the baffling illness has received recognition by the introduction of diagnostic criteria [1]. Nevertheless, many medical doctors and insurance companies still assert that CFS merely is a mental condition.<br>Doctors who treat CFS patients as suffering from a biological disorder and scientists who deal with the psycho-neuro-immune pathophysiology of CFS are often considered quacks by some of their colleagues, insurance companies and anti-quack societies, which are sometimes officially supported by governments, e.g. the Dutch government, in order to eliminate the scientific view that CFS is an organic disorder. The latter obviously would mean that the national health care system is obliged to financially support those patients who now are considered hypochondriacs and thus are suspended from the national health care systems. In accordance, the mainstream, “evidence based” treatment for CFS is cognitive behavioural therapy, which means that patients with CFS are being treated as having a mental illness with “treatments” that do not treat any underlying pathophysiology.<br>There is, however, evidence that CFS is accompanied by severe immune disorders, such as activation of the inflammatory response system (IRS) and increased oxidative and nitrosative stress with a significant damage to membrane lipids and functional proteins [2–4].|via=}}</ref> * 1992, ME: is it a genuine disease?<ref name="Shepherd1992">{{Cite journal | last = Shepherd | first = C. | author-link = Charles Shepherd | last2 = Lees | first2 = H. | date = 1992-05-01| title = ME: is it a genuine disease?|url=https://europepmc.org/article/med/1624312|journal=Health visitor|volume=65|issue=5|pages=165–167|issn=0017-9140|pmid=1624312}}</ref> [https://europepmc.org/article/med/1624312 (Abstract)]
