Community Symposium on the Molecular Basis of ME/CFS Sept 5 (Stanford/Ron Davis)

Unbelievable giving Joshua Leisk top billing on the speaker list. What were they thinking? Last we heard he was a gym instructor peddling a made up protocol that kept changing when the people he was experimenting on found it didn't work, and selling supplements.

I'm not familiar with that guy or his work but if it's unscientific and poorly done then does OMF have Twitter or FB or similar where people can post questions/feedback? It would be very helpful in general to provide constructive and polite feedback about the science at the conference.
 
It's not shocking to me anymore.

"From Janet Dafoe on twitter: Whitney is working with Josh Leisk and seeing benefits from following the protocol". Born Free protocol.
 
I don't think the thread as been linked properly Mij.

I'd be interested in reading more about JL if you still have the link handy.
 
Thank you Yann.
 
purinergic signalling, eATP, P2 receptors (e.g. on neutrophils) have come up more than once - I haven't read much about these on S4ME. Any insights?
 
@jnmaciuch in the Stanford PET scan presentation they are using a new tracer called GPR84. I remember from the Jared younger thread you were versed in tracers. Have you heard of this tracer before? Thoughts on it? Also this new TREM1 tracer seems interesting
 
Jonathan will appreciate Robert Phair's question on whether ME/CFS is an inflammatory process and what actually differs between acute and chronic inflammation and how can we be precise with our language? They seemed to express that its not a precise word but they don't yet know how to express the gradient of responses being seen and what to call it. What I didn't get a good answer to was is the cell types and molecules different and I think he is right that really matters.
