I don't think they take cognitive decline into consideration which may not even be noticeable until years later.

For the record, I drank tons of beetroot juice when I was juicing in the 90s. I'm still 'here'. Abstract Nutritional strategies to prevent endothelial dysfunction following prolonged sitting remain largely unknown. Given that beetroot juice (BRJ) ingestion enhances nitric oxide (NO)...

I recovered from the initial virus that triggered M.E, don't know what I had b/c I wasn't tested for any that I'm aware of. The triggering/reactivating of viruses and allergens started becoming an issue around the 13 year mark, and now I have 'something' brewing every few months, spring...
