I agree that using a fancy word doesn't make it more meaningful. I do believe that ME is an abnormal state that adapts to maintain itself....
I like the concept, and hope that it will spread to other researchers. However, a study based on self-reported questionnaires is pretty flimsy....
LDN is my second or third best ME treatment (cumin wins the trophy!). It was very effective in blocking my neuropathic pain: muscle aches...
How do they know that those mice have chronic fatigue? Maybe they just bred a bunch of lazy mice.
When I read a paper and it claims that whatever their theory is, the statistical evidence is somewhere around the 'accepted' level (.05 or...
There are confounding factors too. Maybe on cloudy days you eat more of some kind of food, and on hot days avoid some. Activity levels may vary...
The good thing about stores like this is that it has at least a possibility of forcing people to re-examine what science is, and maybe rework the...
Viral infections may be a common trigger for ME, but I believe that it's not the virus that's important, but the activation of the immune cells....
"Peer review is more like a smoke test--"Does it smoke when you plug it in? Good enough."" Good engineers take the enclosure off for the smoke...
I agree that environmental stresses and genetics may be involved in the likelihood of ME developing. I still believe that it's immune activation...
Things that are easy to do and get funding for will get repeated. There's definitely a problem with the rewards for doing things already done....
While that is true, it's also unfortunately true that there are limited resources available for ME research, and there is simply not enough...
I don't believe that ME is a metabolic disease, so not those researchers. I do believe it's neuroimmunological (glial cells involved), but I...
When I read the title, I thought that psychiatrists/psychologists would be more useful if they assumed a T-shape (arms stretched out). Coat racks...
I wonder how much the supplement actually changes brain serotonin synthesis. That's only around 5% of the TRP intake, so maybe the effects were...
If this test is done on ME patients, and it shows similar abnormalities, even if it doesn't explain why/how, it would at least be some clinical...
I hadn't thought of magnetic susceptibility as a diagnostic technique, but that is the sort of thing I was hoping for. If ME is due to some brain...
Keep in mind that "feeling" something also involves bi-directional signalling networks and processing networks, and malfunction there can cause...
That's a study I hope gets a follow-up, especially with ME subjects.
Healthy controls and athletes? How about some unhealthy inactive controls? Let studies of differences between normally-active people and...
