I've just had some weird B12 results back. I'll be posting them in a new thread a little later on. So please look out for it if you have an interest in B12.

I've just found my other half! That's so weird, except I'm a leftie. Do you ever feel the bad leg giving way at the knee?

I don't this means inspired by the actual patients involved in the study. At least one of those conducting the trial is recovered but was formerly severe. This same person winced visibly, when I talked about the psychosomatic model of ME being overturned.

@Sbag it's on pages 2 and 3 of the link @Trish gave. It barely qualifies as results, though. More of a sketch.

I've switched to my laptop, too, and now I can't see the date either.

It's in small type just under the headline. (I'm using my phone.)

It's from 21 March 2001!

Would an experiment with branched chain amino acids help to identify whether the problem is with protein digestion or protein synthesis?

If only doctors would actually read it.

@Woolie. If CRP and ESR are not elevated, then it can't be auto-inflammatory, is that right? If so, then it would rule out auto-inflammatory for most but by no means all of us. When you refer to feeling "sick", do you mean in a generally "malaisey" way?

I remember her. She sat at my table at the first CMRC conference three years ago. She waffled endlessly about this feasibility study and I couldn't make head nor tail what she was talking about, except that it involved visiting severe patients at home. God help them, I thought. Have a look at...

Sorry but I've only just got around to the abstract! How did the first sentence of the conclusions get past peer review? It only improves accuracy if you remove the one vital piece of the picture in clinical practice for the osteopath and the physician and they kind of allude to this in the...

More likely what sells his therapy is direct recommendations from one patient to another and the MEA treatment survey.

First of all, sorry for going back to an earlier point in the thread. It's hard to keep up. 1) and 2) would be desirable but they are not necessary. I'd be satisfied with a variation of 3), i.e. that even in the absence of biomarkers, patients can be objectively shown to improve with therapy...

OK, so perhaps he needs to rein in the claims and incorporate a disease control in future studies.

Yes, there are similarities but they're pretty superficial and there is a slight matter of scale. For the Lightning Process the total cost to become a practitioner is just shy of £8K (although exemptions are available!). Practitioners can then charge - what is it? - around £700 per person per...

As someone in the minority corner here, I'm going to assume this is in part aimed at me. I certainly don't feel attacked and I haven't seem anything to suggest that anyone else should either. :) Journalists edit what their interviewees tell them. There's a big distinction between saying "my...

Nothing wrong with a bit of open-minded scepticism.
