But wait, how can she have the elevated cytokines immune signature if the Lightning Process already cured her?... Phil Parker must really be scratching his head over that one.

Thanks very much for your summary. I found this diagram in an image search (ref). I think this is what Sandvik et al did, isn't it? Helps to see the visual representation.

Dr Myhill’s response. She says she applied to deregister in August 2020 but the GMC launched further investigations and refused her request. https://www.drmyhill.co.uk/wiki/Response_to_GMC_Action_to_suspend_me_from_its_Register_-_1_February_2023

I’m not sure what effect this will have as I thought she’d given up her medical licence already due to insurance issues, and was just practicing as a naturopath? Shame, as a more holistic approach such as she aspires to potentially has some value if practiced responsibly and where appropriate...

I've tried LDN and found it had a useful effect and seemed to work on a deeper level than other treatments I've tried, but it was only a temporary improvement in my case. Once I'd carefully worked up to a therapeutic dose, which started around the 2.5 mg range and above for me I noticed reduced...

Study finds first direct evidence of a link between low serotonin and depression From the Guardian, science correspondent: Link to the study: BRAIN SEROTONIN RELEASE IS REDUCED IN PATIENTS WITH DEPRESSION: A [11C]Cimbi-36 PET STUDY WITH A D-AMPHETAMINE CHALLENGE.

Good to know…! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3789413/

Thanks everyone involved in setting up the DecodeME study. These are just some thoughts I’ve had; sharing in case helpful at all. As another post mentioned, I couldn’t remember if I’d signed up already or not. I remembered signing up for something a while ago but couldn’t remember exactly what...

It may have been said somewhere and I missed it, but do patients need to fulfil both sets of the criteria being used, or just one or the other, to qualify for DNA sampling?

Absolutely, agree it's important that people complete the questionnaire honestly and without bias to provide the best possible data quality for the survey. I did and I've received an email thanking me and letting me know they won't be requesting a saliva sample. I'm familiar with both sets of...

^^at anaerobic threshold^^ From the abstract "The pooled mean decrease in peak work rate (five studies), measured at retest, was greater in ME/CFS by −8.55 (95% CI −15.38 to –1.72) W. The pooled mean decrease in work rate at anaerobic threshold (four studies) measured at retest was greater in...

May 9, 2019 Placebo: Can the Mind Cure You? https://gimletmedia.com/shows/science-vs/5whgzd There was some interesting stuff here in this podcast about how a conditioned response to a uniquely flavoured drink could produce measurable changes in immune function… weird!

Sounds novel/ interesting, but does anyone have an inkling how promising this line of research is and how relevant to ME/CFS?

Personally, when I tried LDN, I found the syrupy liquid mixture, that’s measured out with an oral syringe, more effective than the capsules. It was supplied by Dickson Chemist, Glasgow. I don’t know why, but that was my experience. With the capsules, from a different pharmacy, that I tried...

How to fix forgetfulness and woolly thinking “Forgetting words, woolly thinking and a poor attention span are becoming increasingly common, but what’s behind it?” There’s a similar article in the DT, appropriating and generalising our term of ‘brain fog’, it’s becoming part of everyday...

I’m wondering what happens if you get stuck inside the cryo machine?! That would be my fear.

Haha yeah you’d love this therapy @Snow Leopard brrrrr

Has anyone found a source for Lactobacillus sakei in the UK? Thanks. I'd like to try this for my sinus issues, but shipping from US supplier is $50.

Interesting... so they still think there might be something more to explore here, with using monoclonal antibodies for immunosuppression. This time targeting a slightly different array of immune cells than they did with rituximab (which binds to CD20). "Daratumumab, sold under the brand name...
