    Clinical symptoms and markers of disease mechanisms in adolescent chronic fatigue following Epstein-Barr virus infection, 2019, Wyller et al

    The study was presented in the major newspaper in Norway (Aftenposten) the 27’th of February. Many people know how Wyller sees ME, how he is promoting LP and such things, but I tried to translate some of the article to get an impression of how Wyller look at the study. Hopefully most of the...

    Clinical symptoms and markers of disease mechanisms in adolescent chronic fatigue following Epstein-Barr virus infection, 2019, Wyller et al

    27 out of 91 met criteria, if I remember it right. How many met Fukuda and how many Canada is uncertain.

    A nanoelectronics-blood-based diagnostic biomarker for ME/CFS (2019) Esfandyarpour, Davis et al

    Interesting, but how many times have we had “great news” that is prematurely blown out of proportion? Not saying that this is, but with history just trying to be cautious. It is obviously both tempting and reasonable to throw this at the BPS-brigade, but maybe wise just to let science do the...

    Yes, it is unbelievable. The only “logical” explanation for letting quacks and charlatans into medicine, must be the crisis in health care, ref. health systems being under pressure and expenses hitting the roof with the benefits of people living longer and such. Difficult times resource wise...

    What a piece of rubbish. Short term memory is a challenge, but seems to be loosely based upon the article in Expressen last year. It was an awful piece where Landmark were given a lot of space for spreading the insane lies about ME AS an epidemic and so on, sort of warning Sweden. Anyone who...

    These responses from Helmfrid are really good. If possible, everybody should read them. Easy to read, very well written and to the point.

    NIH: Accelerating Research on ME/CFS meeting, 4th and 5th April 2019

    Collins seems passionate. Hoping that a lot more of solid actions will follow fine words and good intentions. This Brian Wallit is controversial from what I’ve heard. Read some of his previous statements on this and that, and they are pretty strong. I don’t know what to make of them in this...

    Podcast: "It's Not All About ME"

    Enjoyed listening to this brilliant interview. Especially liked your mindset regarding questions of blame, failure and such. Very important not to blame oneself, and also agree on how you deal with relations. At last, it is both reasonable and right pointing clearly at the ones responsible for...

    B-Lymphocyte Depletion in Patients With ME/cfs: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial (2019) Fluge et al

    So good to Rituxme finally published. Nice to see such a well conducted study, and what a contrast to Wyller, the people who talks about LP and all that pseudo. The result is as we all have known for a long time negative, but this is still what it is all about. A hypothesis that can be tested...

    Gary Burgess - The ME show, and updates about Gary's health.

    Great talk to Mark Guthridge, both a patient and scientist. Very interesting this work looking at cancer cells, normal cells and ME cells, - also hearing of the metabolic inflexibilitys that can be measured and possibly targeted to reactivate metabolism. Also nice that he who have attended a...

    David Tuller crowdfund: Trial By Error: Reporting on ME/CFS and Related Controversies

    Great news and so much appreciated. You’ve done an amazing job. its a shame there are so few health/science- journalists of your capacity and integrity @dave30th. Your work is so important in the moment of time, fighting the pseudoscience windmills of hell. I have no doubt in my mind that in...

    News from Scandinavia

    The article is sort of the cousin of the Reuter piece, BPS-people campaigning all over. Desperation and the usual blame vexatious patients and organizations. Agree when it comes to LP and Wyller coming back to this. It’s just weird promoting LP, and really insane blaming patients for not...

    News from Scandinavia

    Yes, quite a good read in Politikken. I believe patients are aware of the great challenge, doctors uncertainty and feeling of powerless and all that stuff. But we could surely need more humility when it comes to the body’s/organisms complexity, and a lot less of plain rejecting and/or denial...

    CORRESPONDENCE The PACE trial of treatments for chronic fatigue syndrome: a response to WILSHIRE et al (2019) Sharpe, Goldsmith & Chalder

    Why is he so ravingly mad, this Vogt-guy? Why does this true activist on a crusade for pseudoscience bother so much. At least for a decade now he refuses to discuss any of the obvious problem and flaws at the ME-field, but still is some kind of representative standing up for science? It’s only...

    Denmark: Newspaper Politiken on PACE and the Cochrane review - David Tovey interviewed.

    Same old, same old, but an opportunity to try to make some sense in the mess. Much to long here, but got engaged. The standing of the minister and Sunhedsstyrelsen/Brostrøm is of no surprise. Hopefully Brostrøms somewhat categoric statements, more than anything is a result of the natural...

    ME debate in Danish Parliament March 12 (2019)

    Very good to see positive steps regarding ME in the country where something was rotten beyond words. Don’t know what the world holds for Per Fink, but hopefully he will find something else to do that doesn’t involve human beings.

    Special Report - Online activists are silencing us, scientists say Reuters March 2019

    What a piece of extremely poor one-sided “journalism”? Is it journalism or sort of an PR-ad for MS? Let the world take part and read. Really not worth spending much time on this.

    Trial By Error: Kaiser Permanente Changes Course

    Not familiar with Kayser permanente, but understands that it is a major player over there, and great news. Well done! Hope it will inspire a whole lot of players over here.

    ME debate in Danish Parliament March 12 (2019)

    Quite good article from Altinget highlighting the truly horrible situation in Denmark. They are in desperate need of great changes. The circumstances in the other Scandinavnian countries are somewhat better, but on many things just marginally. These references to centers that take care of and...
