Hi Nomad
I have used labs/doctors in South Africa(Capetown/Johannesburg)..There are good doctors/clinics there.I have stayed there and visited these.At present the Rand is rather weak thus one gets more for the £.I know too from my working days that many Americans who work abroad(especially in ME) visit Hospitals/doctors in Thailand as it is much cheaper there than in USA.I think many of those Medical people are USA trained.One hospital that I heard mentioned(a lot)was Bumungrad(Bangkok?).I have worked(voluntary) and traveled around India and I know that there are plenty of labs/doctors there.However, be streetwise and ask locals before you decide on anything.!I think in India it may be much better to look at Ayurvedic Health care.There is plenty re that nowadays on the web.

I'd be very interested in any Cape Town recommendations as I'm planning to spend some time there late next year. You can PM me if you wish.
Regards India, I've been, and lived there, several times, and more importantly know people who've had very successful diagnosis & treatment from hospitals there. This was after being failed by the NHS in the UK.
Yes, the quality varies quite dramatically, and shockingly. But if you have money then you can access seriously good health care.
I also know highly trained Indian medics who now work in the west who can recommend hospitals. However, this thread was put up in the hope of getting names of actual consultants who practice in the CFS/auto-immune field.
Regards Ayurvedic treatments in India, I'd steer well clear. All the reputable ayurvedic educational establishments were dismantled during colonialism, now it's all mostly snake-oil and bull. This comes from experience, of mine and others.
Bangkok is a interesting option. Apart from the drunk gap-year kids, and the whoring ex-pats
