Assessing cellular energy dysfunction in CFS/ME using a commercially available laboratory test, 2019, Morten, Newton et al

Curiouser and curiouser. I admit it's weird. I don't know the answer here. It would be interesting to poll everyone who's done it and find out closely how the scores were.

 

Another thought occurs: are patients who are more severe more likely to seek out the test for ways to alleviate the severity?

Maybe all the tests actually score really low due to the time from patient to lab.

I probably need to stop guessing...

 

Naturopaths and some other alternative practitioners also do this test, it is not just Myhill.

I think people are looking for explanations and approaching it from a cellular energy point of view seemed to make sense when you seem to have none.

 

Agreed. We may never know.

 

Absolutely. People without any obvious energy deficit would never pay money to test it, so it's impossible to get an accurate picture of what the normal range might be.
