What I meant was that it is true that this story about him was circulating. I should've made that way more clear, sorry! Tried to edit the initial post a bit for sake of clarity, hope it makes more sense now.

I think it is actually pretty interesting how hard it still is to take apart his writings in a meaningful way because he - as far as I know at least - always lies openly about what he actually does by saying things that would be completely reasonably if it wasn't him saying them. E.g. the part...

I think lactate is always interesting as an intermediary because it is so ubiquitous, it can shift pretty quickly both in location and amount, it has signaling and feedback properties and there are lots of reasons and ways why and how it could remain elevated. It may also be a bother to pin down...

Just quoting one thing as a starting point: I was just gonna jot down some thinking-out-loud-thoughts/questions/speculations I had upon reading through the thread: 1. If hypermobility is sort of a red herring (apart from causing problems by itself when one is in a certain state of illness)...

This is one of those things that ring very true, at least on a superficial level. The way I have to jump between tasks at times without getting anything done is... intense. Side-note: I haven't read the entire paper apart from quoted excerpts but this just sounds very weird. 'Here is some...

I think this is what we should begin to drive home way more. This line of thinking is elegant here because even the psychs should be able to either follow it on an intellectual level or demonstrate that they are violently defending an indefensible double-standard. At the same time, it is also...

Ohh, I'll play another round of Misanthropy-Bingo while my Coco cools down. Fun game. Will only use the posted excerpts though. No, this is probably not worth anyone's time. So we are taking '1 or more symptoms', usually pain, that occupies a person's time in an annoying way. It sounds very...

So they use the misappropriated (...is that the word?) definition of CFS without PEM without making it clear that they are not talking about ME/CFS, claim they understand how to 'exercise in a safe, regimented way' which is something I have been curious how to actually do for over a decade by...

Yeah, they are pretty obviously not talking about ME/CFS (I have literally never heard of pot as a trigger, anybody else?) but follow the line of thought where chronic fatigue that persists is probably to be graduated to a 'syndrome'. Which highlights how annoying the rebranding experience from...

Seems interesting. I do not know how much fMRIs actually tell us, is anyone able to elaborate a bit on that? How do I have to interpret 'during task' in this context, is it something like 'we challenge this part to do xyz and measure what happens' or is it more like 'we wait till it has to do...

'Powerfully trigger the self-healing process' in people who are 'employed full-time' and who were not screened for PEM etc., huh? I am fine with studying whatever you want in whomever you want, but what good is it to throw together cohorts with almost random common symptoms and then hijack a...

Oh gawd... I hope reality will make me eat my words and all of this works out in the end but if he does not have any good reason to assume this operation will help him apart from his sheer desperation this probably is not what we want the already incredibly abusive medical community over here to...

Is this because that dude has first-hand experience with how bias works and is therefore an expert? Does Cochrane know that LP literally entails standing on paper and shouting at it? Is all this a realityTVshow and the writers are just experimenting with how much they can get away with until...

I suppose that is possible, because he sure wasn't listening to me!

Then why did a psychiatrist attempt to diagnose me with it in 2010, huh? o_O

Not at all, far from it actually. I sometimes do question myself if I am seeing things that I want to see. I am actually pretty happy that it really is that blatantly obvious a thought ;) There is nuance to all this, of course. I am regularly appaled by how many people genuinely react to my...

It is actually not that surprising. They never felt the need to hide their intentions or embellish the situation much since there was never any danger of them coming under scrutiny. It is actually perfect that you bring that up, @chrisb - no, it was not. The Ärztekammer Nordrhein is known as...

I'd just like to highlight that the Chalder et al study we discussed here is cited as evidence base for what they are doing to patients, while the part Sam cited here: ...is so dreist that I wonder whether it was written with the intention to victim-blame and piss off as many different...

I think this is relevant to our interests: John. If you happen to read this... you know, John. We make do with what we have. But you could give us so much more. Come on, John. You know you want to.

Moved from deleted duplicate thread Since we're all thinking it: What would I theoretically have to supplement to speed up DHLA regeneration? Would ALA or R-ALA supplementation increase pools at first and then be potentially damaging due to increased DHLA accumulation? Yes I know it is too...
