A few days ago @Skycloud started this thread about Metformin trials with Lupus
https://www.s4me.info/threads/science-magazine-to-treat-some-diseases-researchers-are-putting-immune-cells-on-a-diet.3281/#post-58512
It's an article from Science magazine...
The working group is people who have offered their services not active participants.
Mark Davis works in a separate department to Ron Davis.
In his recent video, Ron Davis complained about being supplied with poor quality samples.
Montoya has published a access to the patients in his ME/CFS...
Sure, he works in a different department but apparently he was a rather put out at not being invited to the Stanford Symposium. It was him who got Mark David involved...
Rather odd not to pool expensive resources: staff & equipment...the Ron Davis lab was also heavily criticised in the NIH...
Full details here:

One name conspicuously absent: Dr Jose Montoya...he wasn't at the Stanford Symposium in August either..What is going on?
In the comments is a link to the current UK Libel Laws

Some key points include:
*"New serious harm threshold" aimed at helping people to understand when claims should be brought and discourage wasteful use of court time
*Protection for scientists and...
@Barry Most patients know not to send angry emails, texts or make the wrong type of phone call when tired & emotional. We all have had personal experiences with the people around us.
The Virology Paine was put right on his errors by David himself & other correspondents. Unlikely he'll be back...
*He is involved in the NHS as well as private practice...if this Mark Paine is our chap. Possibly a member of Esther's CBT/GET BACME group and recipient of emails from EC?
*as @Liv aka Mrs Sowester pointed out likely to have a professional conflict of interest :)
The person arguing with David Tuller on the Virology blog appears to be this guy.

He is a counsellor offering CBT for ME/CFS!
I have written to George Monbiot via his website about SMC bias via his website. Sprcifically including articles from David Tuller & James Coyne.

James Coyne...
Environmentalist George Monbiot who has wriiten about Fiona Fox & the SMC (ironically) in the Guardian has been tweeting...
The links to his website are for his Guardian stories on Fiona Fox & the SMC.
There is a blog written by Tom Pride on the SMC's inlfuence on the BBC and its decision not to feature the BMJ piece.

Judging from Country Girl's description of the audience, you suspect Phil Parker Ltd's mailing list are getting invites to EC's farewell tour.
"You will dü Esther...Look into my eyes, not around the eyes."
Remember leave to leave comments, information & links on the Virology blog. :)
Edit: David Tuller does take notice of your comments. Information I've passed on to him has featured in his blogs.
A large part of his work has come from facts & data pointed out by the patient community.
Also the first line of the conclusion Page 47 of the slides
"CFS/ME is a chronic disabling disease with a genetic background, triggered by infection and with a link to psychosocial stressors"
Content is mostly good...you might disagree with the page 14 of the slides on the origin of the illness
Genetic predisposition >> Psychosocial background >> triggering event (infection)
Emily likes to initiate arguments with patients and patronise them. When people reply she claims to have been abused!
She has a rather different take on CBT for example due to mental health comorbidities she has discussed at length on her blog.
AfME should not be sending out vulnerable people...
Emily Beardall has been the subject of several complaints for her abuse of patients on social media.
One was upheld last year & she had a lower profile.
Another complaint was made this year based on evidence collected by Phoenix Rising Members. AfME chose to do nothing even after the complaint...
Another classic piece of insight from Simon Wessely in 2014 about GWS.

The article is chock full of deference...
