I fully understand what you mean by that and I think it makes sense and must have a biological basis. If I travel a long distance I find it makes...
I am pretty sure there is no evidence at all. I see nothing that indicates that anaerobic threshold is relevant. When someone wakes the next day,...
Yes. I don't assume that but if for cases where it does not apply the case to be made is different.
And I am very aware that they do, but then my approach to tackling the problem and the arguments used would be different.
It would make sense of the situation if there was. I agree that there ought to be other places where TPN could be set up , of PEG. If St Mark's...
The problem we have, if we are trying to argue from evidence to get proper care is that we have no evidence that an ambulance ride will produce...

Will the acupuncturists share the same Needles?
I can't bear to look. Turn of the Screw? Or more Transylvanian toothmark stuff? One thing is for certain, nothing new in twenty years....
Well, so far that approach on the part of patients and 'ME expert' physicians has led to decades of ridicule as you know. Maybe it would be a good...
The linguistics of 'concept' is hardly detail!
I guess it is directed at people who have developed an understanding of how biomedical science works or want to. In that context I cannot see how...
I think maybe you are missing the whole point of the article?
I think you may have misinterpreted my sentence. ME presumed a single process of a specific, defined neurological sort (encephalomyelitis) that we...
Discussions here suggest that things are a lot more subtle. Some members do not recognise the standard description of PEM. There are claims that...
It does all the time in rheumatology and gastroenterology.
No it isn't. In medicine it is usually assumed that with a 'disease' there is some objective evidence of what sort of process we are dealing...
In medicine we very definitely do. The word concept is traditionally used to mean both the conception and what is being conceived. Linguistic...
