I wrote a reply. Just named the main supervisor Kennair at NTNU and Wyller at UiO as co supervisor, with Esther Crawley as an external expert as those are the names I remember. There were some others involved, I think. Research is funded by Research Council of Norway and by certain muncipalities...

@Kalliope has links and a short summary in this post in the new LP study thread: Lightning Process study underway in Norway

I live in hope :) Unfortunately I'm in another field with a lot of bad science, namely nutrition, and I have a lot of experience with people who read Dagbladet/similar tabloids and believe their reporting is sound. Even more unfortunately this also occurs with lecturers, even in a lecture about...

Dagbladet today is just sickening :confused::banghead:

Another one I won't read.

That's a truth with some caveats. Careful with nutrients can also mean not doing certain things as the nutrients must be spares for vital functions. 16/8 feeding window can still cause lost periods in females, which to me indicates it's not good. Although there are females (and males) that...

I didn't believe you invented it, I think it's a poor term overall :) For most vitamins and minerals a few days without intake would be fine as long as they are within the normal range to begin with and body stores are sufficient. A few will quickly cause problems (some of the B vitamin) while...

I'm not sure I would use the term "eating itself" when it comes to skin flaps after weightloss, those are very individual to begin with. Things like how quick the weightloss occurs and how elastic/damaged the skin is can play into it. I'm all for following a natural diet for weightloss, it's...

Results on autophagy has to my knowledge not been shown in humans, and not all rodent studies find this. Most human studies are done with obese participants, improvements in blood values are not different from those losing weight without a restricted feeding window. There has been some...

All epithelial barrier tissues have tight junctions, with tight junction protein complexes and a lot of other proteins involved in regulating them. Disturbed tight junctions makes these tissues more permeable to germs and other substances that are not supposed to cross them. I can think of two...

Cool :) I have to read it all before I'm gjetting too excited though, there could be other difference between their version of ketogenic and high-fat-diet that could explain this.

Which by all means would be fair to believe, if it hadn't been for all the patients saying it's not so. Normally I am able to go grocery shopping by myself, the days I feel I'm not able I can try to push it - sometimes I get to the store (then there's the problem that I might not be able to...

If only there was a study that had tried to stop this "sustained arousal" and showed it didn't matter. Oh, wait.. https://www.healthrising.org/blog/2014/02/15/sustained-arousal-hypothesis-sustained-wyllers-clonidine-trial-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-fails/

Constructive criticism hasn't made its way through to the right people, no.. even if many keep saying science is self correcting. :banghead:

I second this :rofl: It's exam season for me, so I don't think I will be able to write something right now. But eventually I'll get a degree and won't be "just a patient" anymore. Not that it has helped that people with more education than me has said anything. :( Stølen ends his piece with...

Yes, the three day intervention is readily available in book format.. and through a course you have to pay a lot more for, but hey.

I think the test I did for cognitive functioning was a modified version of WAIS. It looks at concentration, recall and such I believe (among other things).

And I'm also afraid that having "just a patient" write something will not be enough. @Jonathan Edwards could the letter you wrote to Dagbladet be used here?

The problem is he is implying that the science is sound because the project has been validated by peers (like Crawley and Wyller) and those financing it. With the directory of health, the national competence center for ME, two of the largest research institutions in Norway (NTNU in Trondheim and...

I agree Khrono might be a good place for an opinion piece. If anyone is up for it. I might be able to help a bit :) Edit: I'm pretty sure I've seen Stølen in the commentary section in Khrono, it might be possible to write a short comment instead of a whole piece.
