ohm20...Because of Canada's social welfare health system..lived there 20 plus years.they are probably a better indication of CFS/ME numbers..simply because they don't pay for Medicine..at least in not the traditional way...more likely to report. They have a population of 37.59 million compared to US population of 328.3 Million and at .0154 rate of ME.. that would suggest the US has a population of over 5 Million sufferers of Chronic Fatique Syndrome...much larger patient base for possible use of LL.
