I completely disagree with this. Deciding that a condition might be "functional" i.e. all in the head, can kill people who could have been treated. I think deciding something is functional takes a doctor's eye off the ball. Once they've even considered functional the tendency seems to be to...

I wonder why iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia are separated as well. My iron and iron-related results tend to be inconsistent - in the past I've had, for example, one measure suggesting I have enough iron and another will suggest I have far too little. Since ferritin is an acute phase...

I agree that the word stress is overworked to an extreme degree, and I don't think I've ever seen it defined in a medical context. I'm very dubious about many physical stresses (and the reactions to them) being something that is the province of psychologists, psychiatrists etc. that requires...

I'm curious what you think of this paper? Effect of iron supplementation on fatigue in nonanemic menstruating women with low ferritin: a randomized controlled trial

I developed the same problems as you back in the 1980s and 1990s. I started off using my first mouse in my left hand, then switched to my right. All I succeeded in doing was making both wrists hurt, although my left is by far the worst. I have never completely recovered from the problem but have...

Does having h pylori confer any benefits on humans? I've read that it is estimated that 50% of humans are infected with it, so wondered if it did some good to offset the bad.

From the grassrootshealth website there is this chart, suggesting that incidence of quite a lot of ailments is reduced with optimal levels of vitamin D. Source : https://www.grassrootshealth.net/document/disease-incidence-prevention-chart-in-ngml/

This link suggests that we should all have a vitamin D level of 100 - 150 nmol/L (40 - 60 ng/mL) : https://www.grassrootshealth.net/project/daction/ The research links for that website are here : https://www.grassrootshealth.net/research/ Is the above site reputable? I don't know. Another...

I think this is what you are looking for : https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p09dw1l8 They really don't make it easy to find! I haven't looked for the particular segment of the program involving Pariante.

Why was this research necessary? Is there a poisoners' handbook available that I've never heard of? According to the Wiki article on aconitine : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aconitine The reference given is to this link : https://www.drugs.com/npp/aconite.html Apparently it gets used in...

Will the authors of fraudlisting.com be reading this thread? If they aren't then any suggestions for sites they need to list will need to be sent to them.

NHS Dumfries & Galloway? https://www.nhsdg.co.uk/ I couldn't find the educational modules you refer to. Do you have a link? A search of the site came back with zero results for "moorhead"

I would say people are turned away from A&E because the number of people that doctors will believe about anything invisible gets smaller and smaller all the time, particularly if the person reporting a problem is female and talking about themselves, or is female and talking about a child.

Access to Sci-Hub in the UK has been disallowed by many ISPs as a result of a court judgement in favour of the copyright holders. https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2021/02/court-order-forces-uk-isp-talktalk-to-block-sci-hub-website.html The above link mentions TalkTalk but all the biggest...

A very frightening link on the future of the NHS from the BMJ : A new public health body for the UK A commentary on the BMJ article can be found here : NHS: ‘Centralised and secretive’ medical industrial complex being constructed And the references in that article to Centene are very...

@Jaybee00 What is an OG infection?

This point is made over and over again and whoever expresses it is always being dishonest, in my opinion. The whole notion just glides right past the issue that patients with ME, IBS, fibromyalgia have - that people with cancer get treated for their symptoms with physical resources, i.e...

I wonder if the authors investigated trauma which arises from being diagnosed with conversion disorder/functional disorder and having none of your symptoms actually investigated.

Yes, it was Sharpe. It gets mentioned in Brian Hughes' blog : https://thesciencebit.net/2021/04/06/choo-choo-all-aboard-the-long-covid-gravy-train/ The slide deck concerned can be found here ...

An unimpressive article from the BBC on LongCovid clinics (one in Croydon is mentioned). Inside a long Covid clinic: 'I want to play with my kids again' It would appear that GET is the only game in town.
