    A Low Glutamate Diet Improves Cognitive Functioning in Veterans with Gulf War Illness, 2020, Kirkland et al.

    Seems only the abstract is currently available. I'm not so sure about using MSG as a way to increase diet glutamate content in this setting, and I would very much like to know what the "reduced glutamate" diet actually looked like. In any case, I am pretty certain glutamate can be reduced...

    Implementing psychological therapies for gastrointestinal disorders in pediatrics, 2020, Reed et al

    I would like to see a focus on nutrition and gut health in psychological studies.. but it seems the microbiome-gut-brain axis is more often used to support the opposite approach.

    A Proposal for Explaining Progression from Light/Moderate to Severe Chronic Fatigue, 2020, Höck

    I'm a bit annoyed that the omega 3 supplement I'm taking has increased the vitamin D dosage to 40 mcg. I haven't had any problems with hypercalcemia but like you others might. I really like the supplement for other reason, but whyyy. More is not always better. Although for most people vitamin D...

    A Proposal for Explaining Progression from Light/Moderate to Severe Chronic Fatigue, 2020, Höck

    Can't say I've noticed any difference when my vitamin D levels have been lower than they are now (last I checked they were 80 nmol/L, I do want them >75 nmol/L but if there is any benefit to that it is only present in certain circumstances so it might not matter). If it is sunshine that's the...

    Evidence for a genetic component in ME/CFS - discussion thread

    Thanks for making a thread collecting all the different studies. I finally got around to annotating my genome data so I was thinking I'd look for SNPs that have shown up previously, but haven't had time to go looking for the studies. My lone data isn't worth a lot, but it's interesting for...

    A Proposal for Explaining Progression from Light/Moderate to Severe Chronic Fatigue, 2020, Höck

    I'd wish more research on psychiatric disorders focused on more than the "merely psychological", it's not psychology that causes schizophrenics to have an average life span way below the healthy population. And in some cases patients physical health problems are not taken seriously for various...

    A Proposal for Explaining Progression from Light/Moderate to Severe Chronic Fatigue, 2020, Höck

    Healthy levels of vitamin D is a somewhat contested issue though, the only thing everyone agrees on is that levels >30nmol/L prevents rackets and osteomalacia. For effects not related to skeletal health there is much less agreement. Some (I'd say most if one looks at recommendations) say >50...

    BPS attempts at psychologizing Long Covid

    I would also like to point out that Wyller, in the Chronic fatigue following Ebstein Barr in Adolescents (CEBA) protocol, makes a point of having close connections with media so their results can be easily shared and spread. Or something to that effect, it could have been in the protocol sent to...
