Davis had discovered that the processes in each cell that convert food to energy were not working correctly in his son. The scientists had “found scientific proof of ME/CFS,” clearing a major hurdle for a disease that many still today deem imaginary.
What’s more, Davis and his team developed a simple blood test to detect the disease that could one day be used in doctor’s offices.
Today, Dafoe, now 37, remains bedridden and immobile, but with the help of a drug called Ativan used to treat anxiety, he now has short bursts of energy in which he’s able to write e-mails or blog posts, though he still cannot speak. A scientist proved chronic fatigue syndrome is real — after his son was devastated by it
