I'm another one in the depends on the food camp, a heavy meal like fish and chips would usually make me more prone to fatigue whilst it is digesting away whereas a light easy to digest meal like a bowl of breakfast cereal might perk me up a bit and make me less prone to fatigue for a while.

How about this again sodding underlines the fact that many of us do not experience this connection and suffer symptom exacerbation just as frequently when in a positive mood. If participants agree with us it shows us that we are right, if participants disagree with us it shows us that we are...

The Wikipedia page on warts doesn't mention hypnosis at all, these two other pages are quite interesting though. The second one is categorised as Alternative and pseudo‑medicine and is reasonably skeptical of the whole idea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnodermatology...

There has been a lot of research into it, for a long time (possibly still) it was widely believed to be an effective treatment. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=hypnosis+warts

Really pushing the boat out :rolleyes: https://www.england.nhs.uk/2020/07/nhs-to-launch-ground-breaking-online-covid-19-rehab-service/

I'm disappointed in Edzard's supposed skepticism in this piece two posts earlier. He has no problem with using odourless distilled water as a control in a subjective aromatherapy study. It seems like as is so often the case bad methodology is fine if the results are palatable...

Yet more proof the combination un-blinded treatment with subjective measures produces misleading data. If distant healing had happened to be a type of therapy that couldn't be blinded then the results might have looked very different.

I found this graph that illustrates ventilatory threshold

I've not been really in the loop in this CPET research so I'm a bit unclear what these results are telling us beyond that people who are more ill reach exhaustion earlier. I found a similar trial that included a control group, looking at figure 2 it's not clear why the 2nd day is so important...

I think this is the exercise protocol they cite, to me severe ME means mostly/totally bed bound so I don't know they could have done that let alone twice.

I like that they are calling them 'medically not yet explained' but I'm not convinced they are being sincere or they would have written where the cause has not yet been explained by medical investigations or tests. And given the number of psychiatrists/psychologists/physiotherapists involved I...

If you search 'Copyright © HWHSPB' it finds a bunch more very similar websites such as www.rectoryhealthcare.com so they may well be part of a much larger group. how it works :facepalm:

For sure he is still on a learning curve so shouldn't be expected to have everything figured out, I had assumed that he was just relaying back what his physiotherapist had told him so that was the direction my criticism was intended. If that is what the professional physio who takes ME patients...

Someone tweeted the whole page devoted to ME/CFS

Yes page 31, it's rather small though

Generally excellent I thought, is he in any way involved with the Cochraine exercise review ? That part sounds a bit like unsupported psycobabble though.

Sounds like there wasn't :laugh: The documentary, entitled Seasons, is 10 episodes long. Each episode lasts for roughly 10 minutes. If the first four episodes are any indication, they won’t exactly be highlight-heavy. In fact, a good editor could probably take the best bits of the whole series...

Disgraced Plandemic star Judy Mikovits defended a bogus bleach product as a COVID-19 treatment During the leadup to the interview, Genesis' Mark Grenon said that Mikovits “knows of chlorine dioxide and our fight for health freedom. This is why she agreed to come on the G2Voice.” Mikovits also...

What I will never understand is if we were talking about unblinded trials using self reported outcomes of homeopathy, crystal healing, astrology or dowsing, there would be no disagreement, scientists worldwide would agree that results obtained by that methodology should be disregarded as biased...
