I have come to think that physicians have always been witch-doctors at heart, over history. In the immediate post-war years of 1950-80 scientists...
Yes, it is certainly intriguing. And paradoxical effects might make a lot of sense if we are dealing with VH gene usage that functions normally as...
As poisons tend to!
Well put.
This seems to be an obscure cell poison derived from sea-squirts. It might be useful in cancer. Not sure I would want to try it for Long Covid.
Actually this is quite clever way to do a valid control. You take a population and treat with X. You find those with highY all get better but...
Sorry, David, but this makes no sense at all. Surely we can do better than this. What about the problem that nearly all the services that are...
Everything is completely different over there. Medicine is a money-making business, full stop. Private physicians in the UK used to do the same...
The text implies that they are. I am pretty sure that in the USA older people quite often get given a 'little bit of thyroxine' to pep them up on...
I know relatively little about RNA technology but amounts of RNA would not necessarily have anything to do with the clonal commitment to a...
All a bit odd. In fibromyalgia people are supposed to be oversensitive to things like heat and pain.
This seem pretty irresponsible reporting. Thyroxine will lower bone density. We have known that for forty years. (I assume T3 will as well.) If...
"Many questions remain unanswered in this case. One of them concerns the validity of the diagnosis CFS/ME: Given its currently low validity, does...
I would forget their opinions and attitudes and focus on the story. It is a story very similar to that given by members here who are confident in...
Certain causes of neuropathy are quite well understood, yes. Although generally not small fibre specific. B12 goes for dorsal columns. Diabetes...
No. At least in the UK I'm pretty sure that obtaining consent from a ten year old in this context is not legally valid. I think there are very...
I am not assuming any diagnosis here, or even that we think we have the diagnostic categories right. I am simply saying that from the little...
There is nothing we know about ME/CFS that says not. Children do recover. How fast that can be I don't know but 6 months does not seem that quick....
I think it is unlikely that a child would become withdrawn, underweight and sensitive to stimuli from eating too many supplements. It sounds...
I have so far just looked at the abstract but my thought is that this cannot be Munchausen by proxy - at least as defined by Wikipedia. MBP...
Separate names with a comma.
