Yes, it worked for me.

https://www.tisbest.org/redefinegifting/ Browse charities here I've found these amongst others, I think it's all American charities so I'm not very familiar with which are the good ones to support. Solve ME/CFS Initiative (Solve M.E.) IACFS/ME

Finally, an upside to Brexit? ;) We could start up the old company again with the original manufacturing process. I think part of the issue was that the vaccine contained mercury-based preservatives and so I’m quite glad these were deemed in need of improvement, but apparently that would also...

Who says multiple chemical sensitivity is a functional somatic disorder? I think that statement is wrong, and as it turns out unsupported by their study.

Absolutely not rehab, that would be the worst. To a man with a hammer, everything is a nail. What we need for the moment is specialist/ consultant general physicians with the time to listen and think, and experience of managing chronic illnesses. Until the precise mechanism is elucidated, then...

I'd be curious to try it. The only possible problem is that I get palpitations sometimes and might have an occasionally irregular heart beat, and I think this might be a contraindication.

In the video she references medical cannabis, which is legal in the UK through certain licensed practitioners I think.

Surprisingly good articles from The Guardian, perhaps they’re trying to redeem themselves after that awful one by Dr Miller.

I've not read the whole thread, but to me it's like the fatigue and exhaustion one gets with flu. I think it has to be immune mediated, if we're talking about post-exertion malaise then I think it has to be, otherwise, what other mechanism could cause the delayed onset and protracted recovery to...

A great article and thanks to George Monbiot. This is the reality of what's happened to us and how people with ME/CFS have been horribly let down. This bit above though was a bit muddled, I thought. Those first two links are both referencing the Walitt et al paper in Nature Communications, but...

https://nypost.com/2024/01/16/news/covid-19-strain-kills-100-of-infected-mice-in-chinese-lab-study/ The experts quoted at the end of this tabloid piece are quite horrified. It appears to be a real paper and I fear we as a species haven’t learnt the lessons of the Covid-19 pandemic. Far from it...

I think it’s suggesting that the serum and CSF contained neutralising antibodies, but haven’t read the paper either.

:laugh: “Functional somatic syndromes: one or many?” S Wessely et al. Lancet. 1999.

I think the “off” is a remnant from his first draft, where he was telling the authors what they could do.

It's a bit perturbing to have fatigue ('hyper-fatigue'? More catchy?...) identified as a consumer trend but some of the general advice on TATT seems reasonable enough just so long as they don't start amalgamating it with ME/CFS.

I think the stevia is okay so far as we know, just the erythritol that’s almost just used as a bulking agent in this case has been flagged up for concern. I just use micro doses of stevia to sweeten cocoa for a hot chocolate drink and add some coconut plant milk, tastes delicious!

I wonder about xylitol? That’s a sugar alcohol too. It’s good for your teeth as it inhibits bacterial adhesion, but is it molecularly similar to erythritol and would the same concerns apply?

Thanks. It's not clear what product the EFSA ruling is concerning. The application is from Praline i Čokolada j.d.o.o., who, so far as I can tell are (or were) a company manufacturing sweets and chocolate bars in Croatia. It translates as praline and chocolate. So one imagines it might relate to...

Would grape seed extract (GSE) be worth trying? This quote below is from marketing literature so apologies for that, but gives you the idea - in animal models GSE activated the enzyme (eNOS) that produces nitric oxide. The information is focused on blood pressure regulation but seems there is...
