I have to disagree with the good doc, on a few points in his blood assessment. The so-called parasite in the blood sample is a natural event of blood. It is the remnants of a lysed cell. They have these microfilaments which tend to have a life of their own. Plus, many proteins continue to replicate and produce "yeast-like" stuctures. Even the carbon molecules can be affected by temperature and other protein components in the blood causing "life like" entities.
Live blood work is very tricky business, and leaves a lot of stuff to personal interpretation.
The doctor does make good recommendations, however, for reversing ill health and restoring health.

I have no clue, so thanks for the input regarding the cells.
I found his perspective on CFS very interesting though. Especially seeing how the blood clumped up like that. It seems very reasonable to assume that blood clumped up like that doesn't flow like healthy blood. Blood moves all sorts of stuff through out the body, and when its all clumped up there is no way it can be doing its job. Removing toxins, delivering nutrients and oxygen... and if that sort of stuff builds up, I could definitely see how it could be linked to CFS.
The "rouleaux" effect is pretty normal, and usually means the patient is dehydrated. I see it all the time in perfectly healthy people.
The thing to look for are certain "patterns" of stacking. For example a person with diabetes will have stacking patterns, that indicate high sugars in blood. Same thing in infections.
