In deze aflevering praten we met Annika Mell vanuit haar knusse appartement in Amsterdam, omwikkeld door dekentjes en omringd door Annika's katten en hamster. Annika is o.a. bekend van haar weergaloze speech tijdens de Women's March én is de illustrator van het logo van Ziek. De podcast. Ze is voornamelijk huisgebonden door de onbegrepen ziektes ME en fibromyalgie. Annika vertelt hoe het is als artsen afdwalen als je over je symptomen vertelt en hoe de muren in haar huis af en toe op haar afkomen. Hoe het is om een deel van je zelfstandigheid op te geven. Hoe ze in de GGZ wordt weggezet als "SOLK-meisje". En hoe ze het niet meer trekt om de actualiteit rondom ME te volgen, want als je ziekte onderwerp is van politiek debat, kom je al snel in een achtbaan van hoop en teleurstelling terecht. Maar we hebben het ook over activisme, podcasts en over Annika's fluffy huisgenoten.Achteraf merkten we dat we flink wat voorkennis over ME veronderstellen van de luisteraars: wat is het verschil tussen ME en CVS? Waarom wordt ME niet als fysieke aandoening erkend, en waarom is dat onterecht? We besloten aan deze onderwerpen een blogpost te wijden: M.E. 101.

Through FDA’s Patient Focused Drug Development and similar initiatives, the value of the patient voice in drug development is clear. “It’s not just a question of science but also one of social justice,” suggests independent filmmaker Jennifer Brea, Director for Shella Films and founder of the rare disease community MEAction. “When no one’s paying attention to your community, and no one thinks that what you’re going through is particularly urgent or important, how do you put your disease on the agenda?”

Sandra learned early in life that her invisible illness made her a canary in a coal mine. In this bonus episode, she shares how she's moving through realities many face--when no one sees, heeds, or hears that something is very wrong. As a movement educator, Sandra Razieli loves to guide people to move better so they can feel better and live better. This May, she shares how illness and movement changed her life—and the joys of finding humanity, starting from the very bodies we inhabit. We talk a bit more in this bonus episode on the impacts of light pollution and pain we can't see. This episode airs in full in May.

Original broadcast date: February 10, 2017. We expect a lot of our doctors, but they don't always have the best tools to treat us. This episode, TED speakers explore new ways to think about disease, diagnosis, and the delicate art of healing. Guests include filmmaker Jennifer Brea, anesthesiologist Elliot Krane, law professor Dorothy Roberts, and cardiologist Paula Johnson.

Kafkaesque. We talk theatre, we talk life with a chronic illness, and we wonder how a persons name enters language to represent an idea.    Take some time to learn about Kafka and the origins of Kafkaesque, it's absolutely fascinating!   I would also recommend watching "Unrest" by Jennifer Brea as it is an amazing insight into the world of chronic illnesses, and certainly shows a taster of the kafkaesque nature of the chronic illness life that myself, and so many others experience on a daily basis.

Jennifer Brea was a Harvard Ph.D. student when she was struck down by a fever that left her bedridden. Years later her film Unrest, documenting her experience with Chronic Fatigue (ME), is on the shortlist for a Documentary Feature Oscar nomination. Here's her story and the global movement it triggered.

The Oscar Documentary Feature Short List of 15 films includes the underdog entry “Unrest” by first time director Jennifer Brea. Her film explores the disease commonly known as “chronic fatigue syndrome” – a name many patients resent as misleading. The official name is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or M.E. Jennifer contracted the disease in her late 20s […] The post PN 61: Jennifer Brea on “Unrest” appeared first on Pure Nonfiction.

Charles Ortleb, the publisher and editor-in-chief of New York Native, discusses a recent column on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by Jane E. Brody in The New York Times. He also discusses the reporting he published by Neenyah Ostrom in New York Native on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome three decades earlier. Not only did The New York Times ignore Ortleb's dedication to covering Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic, but the paper also mocked Ortleb when his paper went out of business in 1997 after a coordinated boycott by the AIDS activist group Act Up.

Jennifer Brea has ME, known to many as chronic fatigue syndrome, and is director of the multi-award winning documentary film Unrest. In it, she documents her personal journey by video on a smart phone - including those moments where she finds herself lying flat out on the floor. She and husband Omar spoke to the BBC's Natasha Lipman who also has the condition.

Jennifer Brea is a Harvard PhD student soon to be engaged to the love of her life when she’s struck down by a mysterious fever that leaves her bedridden. She becomes progressively more ill, eventually losing the ability even to sit in a wheelchair, but doctors tell her it’s "all in her head." Unable to convey the seriousness and depth of her symptoms to her doctor, Jennifer begins a video diary on her iPhone that eventually becomes the feature documentary film Unrest.  Once Jennifer is diagnosed with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), commonly called chronic fatigue syndrome, she and her new husband, Omar, are left to grapple with how to live in the face of a lifelong illness. Refusing to accept the limitations of bedbound life, Jennifer goes on an inspiring virtual voyage around the world where she finds a hidden community of millions confined to their homes and bedrooms by ME. These patients use the internet, Skype and Facebook to connect to each other — and to offer support and understanding. Many ME patients have experienced uncertainty, confusion and even disbelief from the medical community and society as a whole. After all, it’s easy to ignore a disease when patients are too sick to leave their homes. In Unrest, Jennifer shares her pain and the most intimate moments of her life in order to offer hope and visibility to those who suffer alone in dark, silent rooms. Though Jennifer and Omar may have to accept that they will never live the life they originally dreamed about, together they find resilience, strength, and meaning in their community and each other. Director, subject and activist Jennifer Brea joins us to talk about her journey, illness and her determination to make things better for people living with ME.

  In this episode, journalist Charles Ortleb reads the first chapter of Truth to Power, his paradigm-changing history of the relationship between the AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemics. Charles Ortleb’s Truth to Power takes you inside the New York Native, one of the most unique and courageous newspapers of the twentieth century. Shortly after starting his small New York City newspaper in late 1980, one of the biggest scientific and political stories of our time fell into his lap in the form of the AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic. What he did with that story has secured his newspaper’s place in history. Under his guidance, a succession of intrepid journalists did some of their greatest work uncovering the crucial facts about the labyrinthine epidemic. The New York Times recently described Ortleb's early work on AIDS as "visionary." Ortleb made the decision to follow the facts wherever they led. His team of uncompromising investigative reporters inevitably stepped on the toes of the most powerful people in the medical and political establishment. Perhaps not surprisingly, the latter fought back by seeking to discredit the New York Native and even, in time, close its doors. But Ortleb stood his ground for as long as possible and as a result the world now can have a clear understanding of the relationship of AIDS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and HHV-6, the transmissible virus that now threatens everyone on this planet. Truth to Power is not just a compelling work of journalism and history, but also a major contribution to the intellectual life of our time. Truth to Power has been the #1 AIDS book on Kindle for the past two weeks.   Previous episodes of Truth to Power     The Disturbing Autism and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Connection   The mathematician who insists that the HIV story of AIDS does not add up. * The "Dediscovery" of HIV: The Australian scientists who almost destroyed the AIDS paradigm and may have inadvertently found the key to the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic.  *   The Interview with Dr. Jose Montoya, one of the world's leading Chronic Fatigue Syndrome researchers. * A discussion of Jonathan Lyon, a man with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome whose father had AIDS.

Jennifer Brea was an avid traveler, a Harvard PhD student and a Princeton grad. She was engaged to be married to the man she loved. Then one day she couldn't get out of bed with an illness that went undiagnosed for over a year. Until finally she started to meet other people--mostly women--who had the same problem: a misunderstood illness, generically described as "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" or what used to be called "hysteria." To take control of her life--and to be taken seriously, she started to film herself, others like her and the few experts there are. Her film is called "Unrest."

Charles Ortleb, the author of Truth to Power, interviews Dr. Michael J. Goldberg, the author of The Myth of Autism. Goldberg is the President of the Neuro-Immune Dysfunction Syndromes (NIDS) Medical Advisory Board and has been on the clinical teaching staff at both UCLA and Cedars-Sinai Hospitals. Dr. Goldberg has challenged the conventional wisdom about so-called "autism," arguing that it is not psychological or developmental, but a very treatable medical disease. Based on twenty-three years of treating patients, he believes there is strong evidence to show that, in its new epidemic form, what is called "autism" is actually caused by a dysfunction of the neuro-immune system and often by secondary neurotropic viruses that impact the neuro-immune system and brain. He believes that "autism" is connected to illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome and ADD/ADHD. Goldberg explains why he thinks it is a tragic mistake to blame vaccines for "autism" when viruses and autoimmunity seem to be the real issues.   *    Charles Ortleb is the world's first newspaper publisher and editor to take the intertwined epidemics of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome seriously.

Francine Stock talks to director Jennifer Brea, who turned the camera on herself as she began to fight a disease that the medical profession does not always recognise - ME. Actress Edina Ronay kicks off a new series I Was In The Worst Movie Ever Made, making the case for Prehistoric Women, in which she starred in a fur bikini as a member of a lost tribe who sacrifice men to their white rhino god. Antonia Quirke finds out what happened when Vivien Leigh's wig from A Streetcar Named Desire went under the hammer this week. Critic Larushka Ivan-Zadeh and writer Rosemary Fletcher slug it out to get their chosen director into The A to Z of film-makers.

Charles Ortleb, the author of Truth to Power, discusses Rebecca Culshaw's scathing critique of the HIV theory of AIDS. Culshaw who is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University of Texas and the author of Science Sold Out, has published several journal articles about the mathematical modeling of HIV immunology. After working for a decade on HIV, Culshaw came to the conclusion that the HIV/AIDS hypothesis is untenable and the cause of a reign of terror and discrimination against the gay and black communities.   Charles Ortleb is the world's first newspaper publisher and editor to take the intertwined epidemics of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome seriously.

Getting your first documentary grant can be akin to getting into your first documentary film festival. That is, it is often the first one that is the most difficult one to get. Getting that first grant can often be the keystone to making other grants happen.   So what are the tricks to getting that first grant for your documentary film? Well, that's exactly what we'll tackle in episode #41. We've had a lot of feedback that you are looking for more information on writing treatments and applying for documentary film grants. This can serve as just the beginning. (As there will be much more coming!)   Podcast Conversation In our shared conversation with a doc industry guest, we'll have a conversation with http://www.jenniferbrea.com/ (Jennifer Brea), the filmmaker behind https://www.unrest.film/ (Unrest), a documentary film that has taken the festival circuit and the medical community by storm.   She is the star (if you will) of this deeply personal exploration of chronic illness and how through documentary filmmaking, she has been able to find some answers not only for herself, but for a global population that are all suffering from the condition known as http://www.meassociation.org.uk/about/what-is-mecfs/ (ME/CFS).     Unrest has its theatrical premiere on the day that we release this episode!   Film Trailer Watch the trailer for Unrest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvK5s9BNLzA&t=1s   Subscribehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-documentary-life/id1112679868 (Apple) | https://open.spotify.com/show/0wYlYHJzyk3Y7fHzDDwvmp (Spotify) | https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/thedocumentarylife/the-documentary-life (Stitcher) |  Rate and ReviewIf you have found value in this podcast please leave a review so it can become more visible to others. Simply click the https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/documentary-life-filmmaking-documentary-films-documentary/id1112679868?mt=2 (link) and then click on the Ratings and Reviews tab to make your entry. Thank you for your support!    

Charles Ortleb, the author of Truth to Power, discusses the arguments of the Perth Group, the Australian scientists who have been under attack from the AIDS establishment for many years for insisting that HIV was never properly isolated and that all the diagnostic tools and treatments for AIDS are based on a major scientific error. Ortleb argues that that the Perth Group has not received the credit for their major contribution because their idea about what does cause AIDS is a kind of homophobic scapegoating theory that AIDS is caused by the oxidative stress resulting from gay lifestyle issues. While they deserve credit for calling AIDS a disease that involves oxidative stress, they fail to recognize that a pandemic of virally-caused oxidative stress is being caused by the family of HHV-6 viruses which Ortleb refers to as "The Fifty Shades of AIDS Viruses." The work of French scientist Etienne de Harven is also discussed. De Harven argues that HIV is being confused with harmless endogenous retroviruses in AIDS patients. Ortleb argues that recent work shows that the other AIDS virus, HHV-6, reactivates a very harmful endogenous retrovirus called HERV-K18 which acts like a "superantigen" that can dysregulate the immune system. HERV-K18 may show that all of these scientists were on the right track but didn't see that HHV-6 was causing a much bigger epidemic than AIDS (which includes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and was creating confusion by introducing confounding endogenous retroviral issues. Ortleb also suggests that Dr. Jose Montoya, who hinted in a prior show that he is looking at the role of reactivated and harmful endogenous retroviruses in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, may finally sort all of this out if he can show that a destructive endogenous retrovirus is part of the puzzle of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. That finding could finally show that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and AIDS are actually one variable and multisystemic epidemic of immune dysfunction.    Don't miss these fascinating previous episodes of "Truth to Power."   The Interview with Dr. Jose Montoya, one of the world's leading Chronic Fatigue Syndrome researchers.    A discussion of Jonathan Lyon, a man with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome whose father had AIDS.

  Charles Ortleb, the author of The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up, the epic account of the intertwined history, science, and politics of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, interviews Stanford University's Dr. Jose Montoya, a scientist who is quickly becoming the world's most celebrated Chronic Fatigue Syndrome researcher. Dr. Montoya discusses his groundbreaking new research which has identified 17 cytokines which correlate with the severity of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. In one fell swoop, Montoya has established that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a real disease and one that involves serious inflammation. He also discusses his major breakthrough in treating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. In an interview that becomes heated and contentious at times, Montoya takes issue with scientists like Judy Mikovits who describes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as "Non-HIV AIDS." He also argues that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is not a contagious disease in the traditional sense and he himself does not warn patients about transmitting it sexually although he does suggest it could be transmitted via blood transmission. He also makes some news at end of the interview in a tantalizing hint that he might be closing in on a possible cause of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. In his closing remarks, Charles Ortleb argues that, ironically, Montoya has created a brilliant blood test that may actually prove that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is transmissible and contagious when sexual and family contacts of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients are tested for the 17 cytokines he has correlated with the severity of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

He was an internist who developed chronic fatigue syndrome in December 1989. His wife had contracted it in 1987. Ostrom reported, “In his extended household, five people now have been diagnosed with or are starting to develop symptoms of CFS. The Lavingers also have a five-year-old dog that ‘collapses for three hours’ after being taken for a walk.”      Lavinger told Ostrom, “From 25 years’ experience of practicing medicine and seeing how government agencies deal with outbreaks of illnesses, [he] believes that a ‘conspiracy of dunces’ is keeping the truth about chronic fatigue syndrome from the American public. . . . It’s absolutely ironic that the patients who have this illness, who are often turned away by physicians, are sicker than most patients in any doctor’s practice.” He also said, “The government doesn’t want to let the public know that they might be at risk, because if the public knew that they were at risk, then the public would demand certain things of the government. . . . But the government doesn’t want a public outcry. I think the government really wants to keep this quiet.”      He also believed, “The insurance companies are glad that the government doesn’t want to admit that this thing is real, because the insurance companies don’t want to have to pay.”      He also told Ostrom, “Families are in this conspiracy because they don’t want to feel guilty for not taking care of the sick family member—it’s easier to say that it’s your own damn fault. Can you imagine walking up to someone in an iron lung and saying ‘It’s your own damn fault you’re in this iron lung?’ So families absolve themselves of guilt. I know this story of a young girl with this illness: She had a typical story, there were lots of things she couldn’t do. So the family put her in a mental institution. I mean, they do this in Russia, but . . . the family doesn’t want to admit that the CFS patient is so sick that they might have to care for him or her. It’s easier to get rid of the sick person.”      Lavinger had an apocalyptic view of CFS and warned, “If you think the infrastructure of this country is the bridges, tunnels, and highways, you’re wrong—it’s the people. And I’m telling you that everybody could get sick—well, not everybody because there are people who are naturally immune to different kinds of illnesses. But it’s possible that half this country could get sick and that would be a disaster.”      In the May 6 issue of New York Native, published the second installment of the interview with Dr. Lavinger. When Ostrom asked him about the transmissibility of CFS, he said, “First of all, this disease is probably caused by a virus. Why do I say that? You know the story about the duck: If it walks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck, it’s a duck? Well if this disease isn’t a virus, it’s a duck. . . . The sheer number of people who are estimated to have CFS, as much as two to five percent of the population—maybe five to twelve million people—speaks to the issue of transmissibility. Too many people are getting the illness.”      Lavinger told her, “Practically all the people who got this disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, got it after 1980. . . . I spoke to a doctor who has been sick with CFS for six years but continues to work. In addition to his regular gastroenterology practice, out of the kindness of his heart, he takes care of 100 CFS patients. He told me that, among these 100 patients, he has 10 families. Eight of the ten families have two family members who had CFS; two of the ten families have three sick family members.”      Even though most of the evidence pointed to CFS being transmissible, he told Ostrom, “If you call the hotline at the CDC and press the right buttons on your touch-tone phone, they’ll tell you that CFS cannot be transmitted from person to person, period. And in the CDC pamphlet to doctors about this disease, it says exactly the same thing.   Learn more about transmission of CFS in hospitals here.   Learn more about the transmission of CFS between people and pets here.   Dr. Joseph Brewer on HHV-6 in CFS here.   Konnie Knox on HHV-6 in AIDS here.       Don't miss these fascinating previous episodes of "Truth to Power."     A discussion of Jonathan Lyon, a man with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome whose father had AIDS.

This is a show that could revolutionize the way people look at Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and AIDS. Charles Ortleb discusses Jonathan Lyon, who has written Carnivore, a novel that is a "revenge tragedy" inspired by his struggle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Lyon may soon become the most talked-about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome victim in the world. Jonathan Lyon has suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for ten years, and in Attitude magazine he reports that he watched his "dad die of HIV." Lyon's condition is referred to as non-HIV AIDS by former National Cancer Institute researcher Judy Mikovits. Ortleb asks the painfully obvious question of whether there is a connection between Lyon's "non-HIV AIDS" and his father's "HIV AIDS." Ortleb also urges Lyon to follow the bold and honest path of CFS activist Karen Lambert rather than celebrity CFS sufferers Laura Hillenbrand and Jennifer Brea. Lambert has been quite vocal about the contagiousness of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and its connection to AIDS. Ortleb argues that Hillenbrand and Brea are squandering their opportunities to educate the public while they whitewash the disease and fail to discuss all the science (and journalism) that support the reality that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a contagious illness and a public health emergency.
