Your comments			I found this article very helpful. F. Martinez I agree, I did not know that cross-reactions may be important. Frank I think this was the best article I have read on food allergy. I should know, I have had hives from food for the past 5 years. Your site was informative, without going into too much detail. Thus it led to a true understanding of the food allergy situation for the lay person. Clare Flocco

			Chronic Fatigue Investigation & Laboratory tests
		85%	Chronic and ill-defined illnesses such as chronic fatigue(CFS) are opportunities for developers of tests and treaments to market an array of unproven products and services. Some tests are well-motivated but don't work, most are expensive and distracting, a few are downright fraudulent. There are a number of basic tests, familiar to all physicians that screen for the most important major diseases that could present as chronic fatigue. This site lists tests which, although not exhaustive, is of value. This site also lists tests with two ratings on a 1 to 10 scale. The first rating is an estimate of the validity of the test - does the test actually do what people claim? - how reliably does it measure what it is supposed to measure? The second rating shows the value of the test either in assessing the mechanism of symptom production or in directing treatment. An excellent page and very useful.
