Looking at Mendelian Randomization Analysis Reveals No Causal Relationship Between Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Severe COVID-19, Li et al. In "Supplementary Table 7. The Association of IVs With Exposure and Severe COVID-19" it lists a lot of SNPs. Interestingly, the first five listed...

Also checked and none of the SNPs match with Supplementary table 1. I also checked Supplementary Table 2 from Howard et al just in case since it lists SNPs, but none of those match Zhu et al's 57 SNPs either. I checked the first few SNPs shown in figure 2 A and D from Zhu just in case those were...

In the interests of trying to improve the forum, sure, I'm talking about Amy Proal. https://www.s4me.info/threads/hypothesis-piece-by-amy-proal-a-microbiologist-with-me-cfs.134/ I don't know much about the Marshall Protocol. It might be completely wrong. But I think there are a million ways to...

I don't know if it's worth naming this person, but at least one researcher clearly reacted badly because of being the lone person defending themself against a whole group of people basically calling them stupid, some implied and in some cases pretty much explicitly. I don't blame them for...

That seems like it might be a good idea actually. I imagine at least some will want to take a look out of curiosity, and hopefully a few will want to clear up any misconceptions or clarify anything important that we're missing.

I glossed over this before. What do you mean "start Covid-19"?

I've thought the same. I have pretty bad social anxiety disorder, another condition that very often has no effective treatment, and there are a couple big forums for that, but no one is posting about the ongoing research, just sharing experiences of symptoms and of trying existing treatments. I...

Wow that conquercfs thing is expensive. The standard course is £1,750 and the ultimate course is £1,999. (I think you can also pay a couple hundred a month instead. Edit: and there is a cheaper "emergency reset" course for £39/month.) The ultimate course includes three one-on-one calls with the...

2:50:17 Petter Brodin–Sex Hormone Regulation of the Immune System Main takeaways: Peter Brodin's lab is interested in genetics of long COVID, particularly genes involved in antiviral immunity. They hope to report results of a whole genome sequencing study of 110 people with severe long COVID...

Investigating the Severity and Timeline of PASC Symptoms: Focus on Physiological and Cognitive Effects Rohan Melwani, Keerthana Noru, Sanya Kondapalli, Ameya Ravi, Saanvi Shah, Shreeya Setty, Shashank Sastry, Sahar Jahanikia [Preprint] Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for the...

Well, spike protein too. Do you know why that would happen? Edit: From discussion about spike protein findings: So likely just: "However, since high titers of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein specific antibodies were detected in all patients, it is likely that these antibodies bound to soluble spike...

Also maybe some information about using supplements. I often see people on social media posting that they take like 30 supplements. Apart from reiterating that most supplements have no evidence behind them, maybe there could be general info about placebo effect, confounders, and that...

I've seen several places suggest that PEM can be immediate in some people. CDC might have wanted to be inclusive just in case, so that someone whose PEM starts immediately isn't discouraged seeing this saying PEM must be delayed. Edit: From another thread:

What about it do you think is wrong:

Even without a control group, we do see that these may be real effects of the intervention, since they rebounded afterwards: I don't know if any of that is actually relevant, though. Why would IgG removal decrease spike protein in the blood, and only temporarily? And though self-reported...

Not placebo controlled. They looked at records of patients who had and had not taken antihistamines.

Scent of COVID-19: Whole-Genome Sequencing Analysis Reveals the Role of ACE2, IFI44, and NDUFAF4 in Long-Lasting Olfactory Dysfunction Beatrice Spedicati, Alessandro Pecori, Maria Pina Concas, Aurora Santin, Romina Ruberto, Giuseppe Giovanni Nardone, Andrea D’Alessandro, Giancarlo Tirelli...

Calcitonin gene-related peptide-induced central sensitization: A hypothesis for long COVID symptoms Ella J. Lee, Cynthia Tsang, Martha Lucía Gutiérrez Pérez, Mehdi Abouzari, Hamid R. Djalilian Abstract Central sensitization (CS) denotes aberrant processing of sensory stimuli within the central...

My guess is lots of fundraising depends on the participation of a significant number of people with the condition, or who have had it or think they might get it. People directly impacted will naturally have much more motivation to find cures than the general public. I think it's possible the...

Maybe this is standard researcher speak for "associated with", but to the general public I think this could easily be misconstrued as causal. I didn't thoroughly read the paper, but I didn't see any evidence that infections in early life cause problems later in life. Seems likely they're just...
