Weekend sendoff: It’s not all bad

Johan Mares, a CFS patient in Belgium, has been documenting his experience with the Himmunitas biomedical clinic near Brussels. I’ve enjoyed reading his methodical approach to his treatment, especially the issue of whether to get tested for XMRV. In his first post, he raises the question and puts it to his readers, and in his second post, he explains the process that led him to his decision. Since I’ve been on such a rampage lately about the lack of skepticism surrounding XMRV, I wanted to highlight Johan’s work as a contrast. And of course I wish him well with his treatment!

In other news, I’m changing my main post from Mondays to Tuesdays. So if any of you were wandering around here on Monday, confused and frightened by the lack of a post, you can call off the investigation and tell David Caruso to put his sunglasses back on.

I had been planning to send you off with OK Go’s awesome new Rube Goldberg video, but now that everyone and their hairdressers’ dogs have seen it, I’m continuing the Creme Egg theme instead. See you Tuesday!
