It's probably multiple things.
voice-verified
So it's a syndrome.
voice-verified
You should think about it.
voice-verified
It is chronic fatigue syndrome.
voice-verified
That word is appropriate.
voice-verified
It's a syndrome because it's a clinical entity.
voice-verified
If you have this, again, persistent fatigue above and beyond your activity, you get this.
voice-verified
With modest physical activity, you get extreme prolonged fatigue that doesn't get better.
voice-verified
et cetera, et cetera, there's a lot of components to it.
voice-verified
That's the syndrome.
voice-verified
But different people could have different causes.
voice-verified
There could be different ways that people get to that.
voice-verified
So that makes any research on it difficult because any marker you look for may only be relevant in a subset of the people you're looking at.
voice-verified
Or you may be looking at things that contribute to chronic fatigue syndrome but aren't the essence of what it is.
voice-verified
which all will be brought to bear on this news item that you're talking about.
voice-verified
But go ahead and tell us what the new bit is, and then we'll talk about how to make sense of it all.
voice-verified
That's all hype.
voice-verified
No, I mean, that would be very unlikely at this point in time with all the research that's been done and everything we've done.
voice-verified
to try to understand this syndrome that, oh, it turns out it's just one thing.
voice-verified
This one thing explains it pretty much completely.
