It’s concerning that Wyller, a Norwegian pediatrician and ME/CFS researcher known for promoting a psychosomatic understanding of the illness, has received additional funding for psychosomatic research, including mind body reprocessing therapy.

At the same time, the Haukeland team studying daratumumab has received no direct government funding. Their pilot study showed promising results, and a new trial is now underway, largely funded by patients and their families.

That contrast speaks volumes about current research priorities.

ME/CFS patients deserve serious investment in biomedical research and potential disease modifying treatments. If you agree, please consider signing and sharing this campaign to help secure proper funding for the daratumumab study.
