Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second volume of his brilliant history of the intertwined Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and AIDS epidemics, Charles Ortleb provides a detailed roadmap to the personalities and events that contributed to the biggest scientific and political cover-up of our time. Ortleb paints a picture of government malfeasance that will remind readers of Vietnam and Watergate. Ortleb takes the reader back to ground zero at the CDC when the first mistakes that led to the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome disaster were made by researchers James Curran, Donald Francis, Mary Guinan and James Mason. Ortleb analyzes the cognitive bias and incompetence that prevented the early AIDS researchers from seeing the connection between Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, AIDS, and the virus that HIV fraud was hiding: HHV-6. Ortleb identifies Anthony Fauci as a virtual Bernie Madoff who has been running a scientific Ponzi scheme that has hidden the truth about the relationship of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, HHV-6, and AIDS. Ortleb argues that Fauci's cover-up of the truth about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome began in earnest at the 1992 Amsterdam AIDS conference when the first cases of AIDS without HIV emerged. Many of those cases were Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Fauci used his power as Director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to conceal the connection between Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, HHV-6, and AIDS for almost four decades. Fauci won't even talk about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome because it threatens to reveal that everything he has told the public about the AIDS epidemic is false. Ortleb also explores the role that disgraced AIDS researcher Robert Gallo played in created the fraudulent paradigm of AIDS that has concealed the truth about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome from the public. Together with Anthony Fauci, Gallo has helped create a sociopathic pseudoscientific universe in which anyone who dares to tell the truth about AIDS, HHV-6, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is virtually destroyed. In the final section of the book, Ortleb covers the criticisms of scientists who tried, but failed, to blow the whistle on the massive HIV fraud that led to the cover-up of the HHV-6 epidemic which now includes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, multiple sclerosis, autism, Alzheimer's, and many other immunological illnesses and cancers. For decades, Ortleb has been criticized and mocked for focusing his journalism on HHV-6. But that is now changing. Ortleb's reporting on HHV-6's role in multiple diseases was recently vindicated by this statement from the University of Wurzburg: "While HHV-6 was long believed to have no negative impact on human health, scientists today increasingly suspect the virus of causing various diseases such as multiple sclerosis or chronic fatigue syndrome. Recent studies even suggest that HHV-6 might play a role in the pathogenesis of several diseases of the central nervous system such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression or Alzheimer's."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume of The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up puts Charles Ortleb in the same league as historians like William L. Shirer and political thinkers like Hannah Arendt. Inspired by Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism," Ortleb weaves together a tapestry of the forces and personalities that played a major role in hiding the truth about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and AIDS from the public. He challenges most of the conventional wisdom about the science and politics of the two epidemics. Anyone who wants to know why the Centers for Disease Control cannot tell the truth about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome needs to know what the Centers for Disease Control is hiding about AIDS and why. Ortleb's second volume is uncompromising as it inexorably lays out the details of a narrative that will disturb anyone who is concerned about public health and the integrity of science and medicine.

In a chronology that runs from 1984 to 1994, Johnson crams in fact after telling fact, building up a dismaying picture of a rigid and haughty biomedical research establishment unwilling or unable to respond to the challenge of a multifaceted disease for which a causative agent has yet to be found...

Book excerpt: From 1980-1997, a little newspaper in New York found itself at the center of one of the darkest chapters in the history of science and medicine. In Rolling Stone, David Black said New York Native deserved a Pulitzer Prize for its pioneering reporting on the AIDS epidemic. The number of important stories New York Native broke about AIDS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and AIDS fraud should have guaranteed several Pulitzer Prizes. Even Randy Shilts acknowledged the New York Native's unique coverage of AIDS in And the Band Played On. But the uncompromising nature of New York Native's investigative reporting ultimately made it a thorn in the establishment's side. The moral of the New York Native story is that no important and independent journalism goes unpunished. Books by Larry Kramer, David France, and others have disparaged and distorted the history and legacy of New York Native. It's time to correct the record.New York Native contains two previously published books by Charles Ortleb, the Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of New York Native. The first book, The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up, is a detailed history of New York Native's coverage of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The second book, The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up Volume Two, is Mr. Ortleb's continuation of New York Native's eye-opening reporting and critical thinking about the connection between AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.In 1989, Katie Leishman wrote in Rolling Stone, "It is undeniable that many major stories were Ortleb's months and sometimes years before mainstream journalism took them up." The two books In New York Native are dramatic evidence that Mr. Ortleb has not lost his touch or relevance and is still a leading intellectual and journalistic figure in one of the most consequential events of our time.

Book excerpt: Develop a better understanding of what CFS/CFIDS sufferers are going through!In the 1980s, a strange emerging epidemic baffled doctors in Incline Village, Nevada. Dismissed by the media as “The Yuppie Flu,” Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) turned out to be neither a faddish disease of the wealthy nor a passing trend, but rather a growing worldwide epidemic of devastating proportions.In the voices of a South African journalist, a former marathon runner, a teenage girl, a public health activist living on the edge of race and gender, a cancer patient neglected by doctors because of disdain for her chronic illness, and a theologian relearning the art of spiritual empathy, the people who share their stories in Stricken: Voices from the Hidden Epidemic of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome defy cultural stereotypes and explore the complex social and political dynamics of this hidden epidemic. Through their distinct points of view, we feel the grief and hope of those stricken with CFIDS and learn of the complex nature of this misunderstood disorder. These are compelling stories about a quiet and baffling epidemic. The first American anthology to contain stories from a diverse range of people with CFIDS, Stricken offers an intimate look at the political and social issues surrounding CFIDS, as told by those who are living through this ordeal. Stricken addresses several issues, such as: why some doctors still do not believe CFIDS is real how the disease is mocked in the media myths about this illness the personal fight for medical or public recognition the skepticism and hope that is felt by the ever-growing number of CFIDS sufferers Stricken confronts fascinating CFIDS issues such as the Kevorkian suicides, accusations of Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy, Gulf War Syndrome, the role of storytelling in a memory-impaired patient movement, and the feasibility of mass activism in a disabled population. With contributions from Pulitzer-prize nominated writer Susan Griffin, renowned health writer and radio host Gary Null, well-known feminist activist Joan Nestle, and award-winning poet and essayist Floyd Skloot, Stricken is an eloquent testament to the heroism, defiance, and diversity of the CFIDS community.

Book excerpt: Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are serious, debilitating conditions that affect millions of people in the United States and around the world. ME/CFS can cause significant impairment and disability. Despite substantial efforts by researchers to better understand ME/CFS, there is no known cause or effective treatment. Diagnosing the disease remains a challenge, and patients often struggle with their illness for years before an identification is made. Some health care providers have been skeptical about the serious physiological - rather than psychological - nature of the illness. Once diagnosed, patients often complain of receiving hostility from their health care provider as well as being subjected to treatment strategies that exacerbate their symptoms. Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome proposes new diagnostic clinical criteria for ME/CFS and a new term for the illness - systemic exertion intolerance disease(SEID). According to this report, the term myalgic encephalomyelitis does not accurately describe this illness, and the term chronic fatigue syndrome can result in trivialization and stigmatization for patients afflicted with this illness. Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome stresses that SEID is a medical - not a psychiatric or psychological - illness. This report lists the major symptoms of SEID and recommends a diagnostic process.One of the report's most important conclusions is that a thorough history, physical examination, and targeted work-up are necessary and often sufficient for diagnosis. The new criteria will allow a large percentage of undiagnosed patients to receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care. Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome will be a valuable resource to promote the prompt diagnosis of patients with this complex, multisystem, and often devastating disorder; enhance public understanding; and provide a firm foundation for future improvements in diagnosis and treatment.

Book excerpt: Two chapters from The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up Volume Two. Charles Ortleb, the pioneering publisher who devoted a newspaper to coverage of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, analyzes the battle to control the scientific narrative that made Anthony Fauci one of the most powerful scientists in the universe and destroyed the career of Peter Duesberg. While Charles Ortleb concludes that they were both wrong about the nature of the AIDS epidemic, he argues that Duesberg inadvertently helped open the world's eyes to the relationship between HHV-6, AIDS, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Book excerpt: In this explosive little book, the first publisher to devote his newspaper to the coverage of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome details the role of Anthony Fauci in the cover-up of the truth about the relationship of the two epidemics.Given the fact that Anthony Fauci has been at the center of one of the biggest medical cover-ups in history, it is shocking that anyone is putting their trust in him during the COVID-19 pandemic.While mistaken members of the media like Laurie Garrett and Rachel Maddow have called Fauci "a great American," Dr. Fauci will soon take his place in history as the chief operator of a scientific Ponzi scheme that has plunged the world into a dystopian medical darkness of fraud, deceit, and neglect.This book is a must-read chapter from "The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up Volume Two" with a new afterword that explores the extensive damage Fauci's Ponzi scheme has done to the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome community, people stigmatized with "HIV/AIDS," and everyone suffering from the viruses that Fauci's cover-up has been concealing from the world: the HHV-6/7/8 family of viruses. The list of the potential victims of Fauci's medical Ponzi scheme include virtually everyone. Even the health of millions of doctors and nurses has been put at risk.

Book excerpt: One day soon, the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome crisis will be coming to Broadway. This explosive play by the author of The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up captures the complicated relationship he had with the celebrated intellectual, Susan Sontag.Charles Ortleb met Susan Sontag in 1973 at a gay conference in New York City. He was twenty-three and she was forty. Ortleb had recently moved to New York City and like many aspiring young writers at the time, was fascinated by Sontag. He couldn't believe his luck when she agreed to do an interview with him for a new magazine called Out.This is the first time that interview will reach a major audience, and there is one dramatic moment in which it almost seemed like Sontag was trying to come out of the closet. After asking a number of probing questions about her work, Sontag said to Ortleb, "You don't miss a thing, do you?"The play turns dark and disturbing as Ortleb describes his subsequent two meetings with Sontag in the late 70s and the late 80s. Ortleb, who ultimately published a newspaper and became the first publisher to take AIDS and Chronic Fatigue seriously, met with Sontag when she was working on her book about AIDS and warned her that his newspaper's reporting suggested the government was not being truthful about the nature of AIDS. The last time Ortleb saw Sontag, she hugged him and said, "You're very real to me."Ultimately, Sontag not only did not listen to his advice, but she went out of her way to indirectly attack Ortleb and his newspaper in her book AIDS and Its Metaphors. Ortleb is finally speaking out about this shocking development that occurred decades ago.Ortleb's discussion of Sontag's betrayal of their friendship and ultimately of the gay community, raises new issues about Sontag's character which many are now questioning. The play will dramatically change the way the public looks at AIDS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Susan Sontag.

Book excerpt: On July 22, 2009, a special meeting was held with twenty-four leading scientists at the National Institutes of Health to discuss early findings that a newly discovered retrovirus was linked to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), prostate cancer, lymphoma, and eventually neurodevelopmental disorders in children. When Dr. Judy Mikovits finished her presentation the room was silent for a moment, then one of the scientists said, “Oh my God!” The resulting investigation would be like no other in science. For Dr. Mikovits, a twenty-year veteran of the National Cancer Institute, this was the midpoint of a five-year journey that would start with the founding of the Whittemore-Peterson Institute for Neuro-Immune Disease at the University of Nevada, Reno, and end with her as a witness for the federal government against her former employer, Harvey Whittemore, for illegal campaign contributions to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. On this journey Dr. Mikovits would face the scientific prejudices against CFS, wander into the minefield that is autism, and through it all struggle to maintain her faith in God and the profession to which she had dedicated her life. This is a story for anybody interested in the peril and promise of science at the very highest levels in our country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was republished in 2018 with the title "The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up." Charles Ortleb's Truth to Power takes you inside the New York Native, one of the most unique and consequential newspapers of the twentieth century. Shortly after starting his small gay New York City newspaper in late 1980, one of the biggest scientific and political stories of our time fell into his lap in the form of the AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic. What he did with that story has secured his newspaper's place in history. Under his guidance, a succession of intrepid journalists did some of their greatest work uncovering the crucial facts about the labyrinthine epidemic. Ortleb made the decision to follow the facts wherever they led. His team of uncompromising investigative reporters inevitably stepped on the toes of the most powerful people in the medical and political establishment. Perhaps not surprisingly, the latter fought back by seeking to discredit the New York Native and even, in time, close its doors. But Ortleb stood his ground for as long as possible and as a result the world now can have a clear understanding of the relationship of AIDS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and HHV-6, the transmissible virus that now threatens everyone on this planet. Anyone who has wondered why the medical establishment will not tell the truth about the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic will find the disturbing answer in Truth to Power. What makes Ortleb so unusual is that not only did he have the natural instincts of a journalist, editor and publisher, but he was also a poet, a fiction writer and a budding political philosopher. Truth to Power is not just a compelling work of journalism and history, but also a major contribution to the intellectual life of our time. "A rollicking, fascinating and important memoir."-Hillary Johnson, author of Osler's Web, Inside the Labyrinth of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic "Because of the extraordinary reporting of the New York Native, the city's gay community had been exposed to far more information about AIDS than San Francisco in 1981 and 1982."-Randy Shilts, And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic "The gay press-with the exception of the New York Native, which deserves a Pulitzer Prize for its comprehensive coverage [of AIDS]-hasn't been much better than the straight press." -David Black, Rolling Stone, April 25, 1985
