James
Baraniuk,
MD (202) 444-8243
Georgetown University
3800 Reservior Rd
Gl008, Washington DC 20007-2113
Dr. Baraniuk at Georgetown.edu
Neuroimmune regulation of
mucosal function in rhinitis, sinusitis, asthma, and chronic fatigue
syndrome.
In
October 2006, Dr. Baraniuk received NIH CFS Research Funding:
James Baraniuk, M.D.,
Georgetown University, Washington D.C., has found that despite its
diverse clinical syndromes, the CFS proteome (the entire group of
proteins in an organism or system) is the same, suggesting a strong
relationship with malfunctioning of the central nervous system. Dr.
Baraniuk developed the first predictive model of CFS based solely on
objective data and he now proposes to recruit a new group of CFS and
Healthy Control subjects to determine if the proteins in their
cerebrospinal fluid will be a predictive marker of the spectrum of CFS
symptoms. There is a high probability that these methods and markers
will be of diagnostic value and will be useful for assessing changes
over time in disease severity and treatment effects.

"She
was incredibly concerned, and took care of me way past her
specialty. She was worried that I was way too thin, and helped
pinpoint the cause of my problems as my gallbladder. She sent me
to my obesity surgeon after basic testing. He did further testing
and removed my gallbladder. She also cleared my record of the
false finding of Lyme disease. She saw me way after I was done
with the infectious disease consult to make sure that I was thriving
and gaining weight. She was one of the most concerned doctors
I’ve ever seen." - Beth

ANSAR autonomic
testing http://www.ans-hrv.com/
Offices we've heard have ANSAR Equipment: Bernad, S. Shor, Vinitsky.
ANSAR ANS testing, found in some doctor's offices, is minimally symptom
provoking compared to tilt table tests. The standing tests are 5
minutes and the base lines are done sitting in a chair. Six consecutive
deep breaths are a part of the test that reveal about the
parasympathetic nervous system functioning.
