As I am interested in computers I found the information when my daughter asked me in desperation to look outside Australia for help. As you know, doctors in Australia do not recognise this condition, or if they do, they consider it incurable.

I let the information loose in the general community when I wrote a short letter to the editor of the Albury, ‘Border Morning Mail’. By default, I ended up co-ordinating the enquiries of the thirty-three people that responded to the letter. The response has been so amazing, six people are now either participating, or are about to start treatment. Nash has decided to make an Australian group of patients, and he has asked us to continue co-ordinating the enquiries.

I feel that it is unfair that only those that can afford to pay can take this treatment, which has a success rate of ninety-eight percent. I accordingly made a submission and asked my local member, Mr. Lou Lieberman, M.P. to place it before Dr. Michael Wooldridge, the Federal Minister for Health. I also wrote to Dr. Keith Woollard, the Pesident of the A.M.A., Professor John Dwyer, Patron of the Australian CFS Association, and Mr Michael Lee, Shadow Minister for Health.

Please ask me to send you a copy if you would like the information to write a letter of your own to your local member.As I feel that CFS sufferers have enough problems to handle, I would ask as many friends and relatives as possible to write to their local member about the Petrovic treatment.

Nash sent me the letter from Thea Schlosser. I typed it in to my computer and distributed a few copies. When I asked Lou Lieberman to read it he said, "No, I’ve read it. We’ve had HUNDREDS of communications about it. Obviously the politicians are already pretty stirred up.

Nash has brought the cost of the treatment down already. The two month treatment costs US$2,800, which is about AUS$3,700. It is likely to go down a little again reasonably soon. Of course there is a six-month maintenance programme after the actual treatment.

Nash is a graduate of Belgrade university, where he gained an M.D. with honours. He is a medical research scientist, specialising in heart disease. He moved to South Africa because there are more heart problems there than anywhere else. He found that he was encountering so many CFS cases that he changed to treating it.

His wife Melissa migrated from Great Britain. She is a trained dietician and she had their first child on Sunday morning the 15th of June. I have been waiting for the baby’s name before I sent this letter. She is Kathlyn-Eva. I am sure that you would like to join us in congratulating Nash and Melissa, and wishing Kathln-Eva a happy and healthy future.

Nash is monitoring a group of American patients at the moment. He tells me that two who were ‘close to death ’ are progressing well.
We are indeed fortunate that Nash has cured hundreds of patients so that he is confident enough to conduct a cure from another country. I am in constant contact with him. I think that I sent four e-mails the other day. When Robyn presented a few problems Sandra rang me from Darwin. I sent an e-mail at 10 p.m. and at eight in the morning I had a three page answer.

Nash is always completely open, and he advertises the names and phone numbers of patients freely. Unfortunately in the enthusiasm of starting in Australia the first person to take the treatment was placed under a lot of pressure by others who wanted to be convinced to take the treatment.

We have learned from this, and all patient information is now totally confidential until the person feels satisfied that they are cured and wish to help the newcomers to the treatment.

I will list a series of documents that are available from me. In the early stages some of you will have missed the amazing coloured graphs. Reading the third page of Nash’s ‘Great News for CFS Sufferers’ and looking at the graphs is mind-boggling.

I hope that by the time I send the next newsletter the ‘declared cured’ list will have begun.

I wish you all the slogan of Nash and Thea - Peace and good health.
