The Diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome As A Limbic Encephalopathy
by Jay A. Goldstein, MD
"Perhaps the most common pelvic disorder in CFS is endometriosis, so common that I have
postulated that the two disorders are related. Macrophages, the
"vacuum cleaners" of the abdominal cavity, do not scavenge the
normally refluxed endometrium which emits from Fallopian tube
orifices during menstruation, and endometrial implants then occur.
This defect in macrophage ingestion may occur in both CFS and
endometriosis." --quote from this article.
