Review for Open Medicine Foundation, Agoura Hills, CA, USA
OMF is clearly the leading institution when it comes to research on ME/CFS and related illnesses (Long COVID, Fibromyalgia and Lyme).
It is made up by the very best research centres (Stanford, Harvard, University of Uppsala, University of Montréal + hospital, Melbourne), which work in close cooperation, and truly prominent, brilliant researchers in their fields, who are highly motivated. A prominent figure among these researchers is Dr. Ronald Davis, who was the first to physically map the genome of any organism (1968). All the top reserachers in ME/CFS are actively involved in OMF (Ron Davis, R. Naviaux, Jonas Bergquist, Alain Moreau, Norway's Fluge and Mella, Ronald Tompkins RIP, etc.), including two Nobel laureates (!). Even Dr David Systrom is conducting crucial research within the OMF.
They are making huge advances in understanding ME/CFS and they are not lost in the theoretical world - they have a very practical approach too, trying to find treatments that will help patients as soon as possible (and not in 20 years!).
The research OMF is conducting will help not only ME/CFS but also the millions in the world who develop Long COVID, and people with fibromyalgia, as well as Lyme.
OMF has the highest chance of success in deciphering the illness that is ME/CFS (and related illnesses), as well as coming up with treatments that work in a short period of time.
It is definitely a unique research gem and an exception, and it is clear that with sufficient funding, they will crack ME/CFS and identify suitable treatments.
