[Nmefman-medical] ANNOUNCEMENT: URINE TEST CORRECTION

Dear Friends: I had received the information about the urine test yesterday as breaking news and took it as such. I recalled hearing about a urine test for CFS awhile back but couldn't remember from whom or where. One of my contacts went on the internet and found out the article dates back to 2009 when it first was announced. I then went to the Protea Biopharma website and viewed its FAQs in which it states that it is not an approved test but still considered research. However, as patients have been requesting the kit, it is available at a price. Below is what was posted as an explanation. I am really sorry that I didn't follow my instincts and checked out what I remembered from back then before sending you the information as new. Lydia Lydia E.
