    Researchers propose deep trawl of DNA to help uncover the causes of ME/CFS (Simon McG blog)

    Thanks for the clarification @Simon M . I have a feeling in our case that epigenetic expression helped create the conditions for a trigger to tip things over. I could be very wrong. So not causal but a facilitator. This seems a study that needs to be done. The difficulty, given history, may...

    MUS services in UK and other MUS related issues

    Alive and well here. Recently listened to a educational psychologist enthusiastically espouse ACEs training in schools and CBT for autistic children....no robust evidence base for any of it.

    Who is Simon Wessely?

    I can't t help feeling it will be GWI and not CFS that will be his undoing. GWI at least gets US research funding and Sir Simon' s stance on this is well documented When the arguments start rolling back on it the end game may be playing out.

    Researchers propose deep trawl of DNA to help uncover the causes of ME/CFS (Simon McG blog)

    How many other bio banks/ DNA sampling data is there worldwide? A coordinated, standardised format may be able to glean existing data . Both omf and klimas have requested and received genetic data. Could some who have forwarded this previously be interviewed ( Skype?) / complete a...

    Do ME symptoms fit with the faulty energy metabolism hypothesis?

    Re the Karl Morten ATP profiles test replication ( which showed no significant difference on fresh blood) - has anyone looked into why there is such a big difference between controls and pwme after 24 hours ( would that not give a clue as to something awry?)

    What's behind ME allergies and sensitivities to foods, odors and chemicals?

    Evolving evidence about diet and health, 2018, Mente et al, Lancet

    Healthy weights may be a bit of a misnomer. The rise of the TOFI ( thin outside fat inside) whilst some overweight individuals are metabolically healthy suggests a complexity that does not lend itself to broad generalisations. The type of adipose tissue and its role in signalling seems to be a...
