I'm afraid it's necessary to go one step further than that. Even a proof of a disease existing is still a big step away from having an approved treatment. As long as no approved treatments are available, I think ME/CFS is always going to be a target of biopsychosocial treatment approaches. As...

The human body has a huge number of negative feedback loops to deal with any oscillations or setpoint changes. So for example when blood sugar raises following a meal, the insulin concentration starts to rise, and there is actually some oscillation going on around this setpoint, which would be a...

FMT will probably turn out to be the superior method to treat issues with microbiome, which may extend well past diseases of the bowel. It's a shame that perhaps the most promising microbiome therapy is somewhat risky and quite expensive as well, as it seems patients may need periodically new...

It is not surprising to me that commercial probiotic mixes typically fail, as they don't include human-derived strains to begin with. The typical probiotic mix mostly includes lactic acid bacteria, which provide a good shelf-life and are not broken down by stomach acid. But for actually...

Exactly, this is the dilemma. Nothing has been replicated many times over with ME/CFS. I don't see a problem with referencing to smaller-scale studies as long as the studies were peer reviewed and not fraudulent. A wiki page will anyhow always mostly serve function as a reference to other...

Isn't that a general issue that applies to regular Wiki pages as well and not specifically to MEpedia? Regular Wiki pages are up to all sorts of discussion, edits, vandalism etc., but usually they end up rather fine.

This post and several following posts have been moved at @JenB's request from this thread. Regarding the non-cytolytic enterovirus article in specific, the first passage reads: So IMO from reading this passage it should already become clear to the reader that the article discusses the...

Nah we at PR thought it was the salmon peptide supplement due to Victoria Bohne's past involvement with the fish industry, but it turned out to be wrong. The treatment in question is an oxalic acid based drinkable, as described in their patent doc here.

@JenB My bad, I meant to express that enteroviruses are "far from harmless" instead of "everything but harmless". Language / brain fog barrier.

IMO this cannot be stated often enough, not only because of the connection to ME/CFS, but due to other potential diseases it may treat as well. Just like for thread starter, it boggles my mind why the research hasn't progressed more in this area. I used to follow these enterovirus discussions...
