The virus has likely been in Australia for as long as people have been in Australia... Antiretroviral drugs have been shown to work in vitro, not sure about large clinical trials though. In any event, the key is to get the virus under control before the person develops lymphoma.

The development of integrated bio-psycho-social models are a great idea. The problem is that there are no such models. Most research is still heavily siloed into separate bio, social and psych studies and directional relationships remain unproven for any illness or disease.

Oh look, one of Ivar Sønbø Kristiansen's recent papers thanks Henrik Voght for insight. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/312664032_Practice_variation_in_surgical_procedures_and_IUD-insertions_among_general_practitioners_in_Norway_-_A_longitudinal_study

As much spin as a PACE press release...

Wow, ME is "socially acceptable" in Norway?

Ah, reminds me of my old signature on Phoenix Rising. :emoji_musical_score::emoji_musical_score::emoji_musical_score::emoji_musical_score:

The problem with these studies is that they are based on a convenience sample, and given that most people know they're talking to a psychologist etc, it biases towards people who may believe in the hypothesis and may explicitly or implicitly bias their responses to favor the hypothesis...

Which cost effective genome or exome testing does this doctor recommend?

The equation is derived from the multivariable statistics performed, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_regression for more basic info.

I haven't spend many years reading all the literature only to jump at random treatments that have no credible mechanism of working.

If we were inactive because we have false beliefs about our capacity to be active, then CBT or GET would surely change that and lead to an increase in activity. Direct activity measures is the best way to confirm or eliminate that hypothesis.

There have been a lot of genetic false positives, but a high quality GWAS provides some confidence in the results. Certainly worth funding much research targeting these loci and seeing how they lead to depression.

The article is good, but the case is :cry:

I bet $200 to be given to a legitimate ME or CFS charity, that this treatment will not be found to be effective in a well designed and sufficiently large randomised controlled (double blinded) study. Note, $200 is a lot of money for me right now, but would be a trivial amount of money if we...
