    Best US Charities to Donate to?

    I remember getting a little heartburn about one of the things Solve funded, but I don’t remember what it was. Don’t necessarily agree that OMF is closed off—at their non-public research meeting they tend to invite a variety of researchers but I was surprised that the Norwegian group wasn’t at...

    Merged He Built a Wellness Empire While Adventuring With Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Dr. Mark Hyman, a “functional medicine” proponent and longtime friend of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is finding powerful allies in his bid to treat disease with blood tests and supplements. Ugh! By his mid-30s, after...

    Do you believe that “viral persistence” is the cause of ongoing MECFS and LC?

    Bio BS is worse than BPS--change my mind/prove me wrong

    Don’t disagree with this. But the issue (maybe my issue) is that there is basically zero support for BPS stuff from the ME/CFS “community”. By contrast there appears to be significant support for the current cohort of Long Covid researchers despite the fact for the most part, most/many of them...

    Bio BS is worse than BPS--change my mind/prove me wrong

    Although this forum is highly focused on the nonsense of the BPS brigade, I submit that at this point what I call BioBS, or the low quality ME/CFS & "Long Covid" research is much worse overall for the patient community. Why? 1. Although historically BPS had a lot of "scientific" backing, it...

    Which ME/CFS charity would you donate to right now for biomedical research?

    Honestly, I'd much have a treatment than a lot of publications. Treatments are the correct metric (for me), not publications. Preparing high quality manuscripts for publication takes a lot of time, and is not always the best use of their time, especialy if there are not significant findings...

    Which ME/CFS charity would you donate to right now for biomedical research?

    Open medicine foundation because it’s an international multi investigator multi center organization. I think he is aging at the same rate we all are! Laurel Crosby can definitely spearhead the BH4 work, and if Ron were to leave us, the various collaborations (University of Utah?) would...
