Gerry, I got to digging around and came across this on Neenyah Ostrom, the author of the article. Hmmmmm... I'll look a bit deeper and see what else is out there:

HEADLINE: Ironic

BYLINE: Larry Sakin

BODY:
IT IS IRONIC that Neenyah Ostrom writes of her "eye-opening" experience in her recent article for your publication.

Ostrom laments that certain people misidentify her sexual preference because of the gay journal for which she writes. Certainly ignorance is the cause of such an idea. The irony here is that Ostrom has tried for years to associate thechronic fatigue syndrome with the AIDS virus with the same fervor as those who judge her to be homosexual.

I have been involved with promoting better understanding for CFS for seven years. Time and time again, Ostrom has made the assertion that CFS and AIDS havesome causal connection. Time and time again, researchers from both the private and governmental sector have countered that no such evidence exists of this connection.

Ostrom writes of chronic fatigue syndrome patients as having other more serious illnesses follow their tenure with CFS. Again, researchers come to the forefront and suggest no proof of such connection. It seems that Ostrom believesthat, if you write about something long enough and consistently enough, it becomes truth. Fortunately, medical science does not take this approach.
