Abstract Gulf War Illness (GWI) is a chronic condition characterized by multisystem symptoms that still affect up to one-third of veterans who engaged in combat in the Gulf War three decades ago. The aetiology of GWI is mainly explained by exposure to multiple toxic agents, vaccines, and...

Full title: Investigation into the restoration of TRPM3 ion channel activity in post COVID-19 condition: a potential pharmacotherapeutic target Recently, we reported that post COVID-19 condition patients also have Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 3 (TRPM3) ion channel dysfunction, a...

Abstract: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a disabling multisystemic condition. The pathomechanism of ME/CFS remains unestablished; however, impaired natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity is a consistent feature of this condition. Calcium (Ca2+) is crucial for NK...

Abstract Background Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a multifaceted condition that affects most body systems. There is currently no known diagnostic biomarker; instead, diagnosis is dependent on application of symptom-based case criteria following exclusion of any...

Abstract Background Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a serious disorder of unknown aetiology. While the pathomechanism of ME/CFS remains elusive, reduced natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxic function is a consistent immunological feature. NK cell effector functions...

Abstract (1) Background—Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a multifaceted illness characterized by profound and persistent fatigue unrelieved by rest along with a range of other debilitating symptoms. Experiences of unrefreshing and disturbed sleep are frequently...

Edit: This thread includes several other threads merged with it. Some earlier threads on this team's work: The Courier Mail: Australian scientists prove CFS is real and have discovered a test for it Dec 2017 to Jan 2018 Don Staines and Griffith Aug 2018 Australia - Parliamentarians learn...

Your disease is real: Breakthrough in diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome Researchers found chronic fatigue syndrome and the related myalgic encephalomyelitis, or ME, is a calcium ion channel impairment condition. For those who are living with ME/CFS, the announcement proves the disease is...

"Don Staines explained that, given these findings, we could see that “recommendations to exercise patients are wrong” because it only places greater demand for calcium ions in the cells. This also explains why patients who meet the diagnostic criteria defined in the Canadian Consensus Criteria...

I think I read before that members were wary of Don Staine's research at Griffith University. I couldn't find it here...I got the invest in ME Conference DVD, haven't watched his presentation yet. Don't want false hope...is there a reason their research isn't considered strong?

Australian scientists prove Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is real and have discovered a test for it - The Gold Coast team has proven that patients with ME have lower levels of calcium coming into their cells, that their cells store less calcium and this is the basis of their illness. - Work is...
