Yes - maybe 'against one's wishes' wasn't clear. It's hard to differentiate between what one really wishes (e.g. if one weren't ill) and what one has to do to prevent PEM.

I was never convinced by the beta-amyloid theory, which started life as a series of papers on day-old chicks by Steven Rose et al.

Yes - unlike most people here (I've only read a few replies due to time/energy constraints) I don't really favour the word 'rationing' as it seem to mean limiting everything against one's wishes - think wartime rationing. But adding the word 'activity' makes it more comprehensible.

Furkuda criteria?! They spelt it right in the other places.

For toothpaste I use Truthpaste, which comes in a small glass jar with a metal lid, so easy to recycle. I use the Original Botanical Toothpaste with Peppermint & Wintergreen - it's not my favourite taste but it's OK. Ingredients: *Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Calcium Carbonate, Bentonite...

I had a horrible experience with Dove once, and complained. Won't touch any of their stuff again. I use Bio-D washing-up liquid as shampoo - have done for decades. A colleague once asked me what shampoo I used because my hair looked so good. I used any old washing-up liquid then, and told her!

Unfortunately many drugs which could well benefit humans are abandoned when adverse effects are seen in animals. There are enormous differences between non-human animals and humans.

Unfortunately animal experiments tell us little or nothing about humans. I've spent years researching this, and gained degrees based on it.

I'm not sure whether this will help human patients, quite apart from being cruel: "To understand the role of the thymus in T cell development, they had surgically removed this organ from newborn mice. They hypothesised that the mice would develop fewer T cells and have a weaker immune system...

"Exercise during artificial gravity preserves cardiorespiratory fitness but not OI" So it doesn't preserve orthostatic intolerance???

There is a radio programme on Lyme Disease on BBC World Service today. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3ct7234 Released On: 02 Oct 2025 Available for over a year Lyme disease is a bacterial infection passed on to humans by infected ticks. Symptoms can range from fatigue, joint pain and a...

'on the brink' is pretty meaningless, and is probably a sign that they want more funding. It's often used at such times.

Do you mean @Medfeb?

I couldn't let that video continue as the music was so loud and distracting from the speech.

"Animal models DO NOT play a crucial role in understanding the pathogenesis of CFS" PLEASE no.

In fact possibly the main scientists stuck to researching something that was incorrect, using day-old chicks (!) for decades. I don't think they were really trying. I'm afraid a lot of researchers just carry on whether their work is relevant or useful or not. It earns them a living. Next...
