    [BBC] GcMAF: Unlicensed HIV drug 'nearly killed patient' (Noakes pleads guilty)

    Isn’t this human blood product derived version a whole different prospect to the home-made yogurts some people were attempting? I don’t know much, but think it involved certain probiotic strains acting on colostrum in a base of milk, and you ended up with a sort of kefir or yogurt cultured milk...

    New Zealand: Dr Vallings

    Astonishing. For the record, I don’t believe personality type has anything to do with development of ME/CFS. But I wouldn’t be surprised if response bias played a role in any research claiming this. It would be understandable if, when asked, people with a stigmatised unexplained illness felt...

    NICE guideline review: A list of appointees to the ME/CFS Guideline Committee has now been published

    If anyone would like to get more background and context to Chris Burton's (rampantly bigoted) post, the archives to GP-UK are in the public domain and can be accessed: here. Then just search for 'chronic fatigue' as they call it, and the thread will come up.

    Re-Hydration

    Experimenting with these electrolyte balancing extra-hydrating drinks, I find that I get short term gains for a few hours afterwards, it can be helpful if you need to be out and about on a hot day for example, or any day.

    Re-Hydration

    This product below is ok, and not loaded with sugars at all. Mix one tablet with 500ml water and sip it slowly over 20 or 30 minutes. Avoid chugging it down in one go as this may cause a degree of nausea from the sodium content. Science in Sport Go Hydro Hydration Tablets - Lemon, Tube of 20

    Whether to have a flu vaccination

    Last year's flu vaccine only protected 15% of the 15 million people that had it from the virus, reports the Daily Mail. The difficulty is the flu virus represents a rapidly mutating moving target. But experts still recommend it as an overall effective and cost-effective public health measure...

    https://www.16personalities.com/ You can find your Myers-Briggs personality type here, free test. I found it uncanny and surprisingly insightful! Edited to add: I'm not being sarcastic here. Despite reservations over the scientific validity of such tests, I found the test informative and fun...

    New Scientist: Probiotics are mostly useless and can actually hurt you

    More reportage in The Guardian, also: Probiotics 'not as beneficial for gut health as previously thought' So, presumably he thinks experimenting with probiotics is an acceptable and low risk endeavour. Edit: I've just noticed that second quote I pasted in is from Bernard Corfe, a molecular...

    N-acetyl cysteine (NAC)

    Good choice, that’s the product I take. Weirdly, I’ve found that it helps with fat loss. As another poster mentioned, it can also ease congestion in the lungs. As I’m extra sensitive to meds/ supplements in general, I only take the NAC-sustain 2 or 3 times a week. Yes, only 2 or 3 tabs per...
