Yes, they just elide straight over that critical bit, making sure to never examine the possibility that patients' reluctance to push through PEM is completely justified. IOW, that patients are actually interpreting the somatic signals from their bodies correctly. As they have been doing for...

And as an excuse to not look for any.

Yes, patients need to be a lot more careful about we wish for. Something is not always better than nothing.

And mine. Even if some form of carefully titrated exercise is safe and can help reduce long-term secondary consequences of ME/CFS (mainly cardiovascular deconditioning related, I presume), there is no good evidence that it actually reduces the primary symptoms and burdens of the disease and...

This demonstrates the one thing I think AI is good for, big improvements in efficiency at dealing with large datasets. But I seriously doubt that it is going to deliver amazing new conceptual insights, of itself. Seen no evidence for that thus far.

Including ME/CFS within RECOVER’s scope is not just an opportunity — it’s an imperative. Hard agree. Even if ME/CFS & LC turn out not to be exactly the same, they clearly have a huge overlap, and resources will be much more effectively spent studying them together.

Few things in this world need tearing down more than the parasitic and corrupting for-profit peer-review journals.

Which, presumably, is why they pushed Peter Gøtzsche out, as his work on stuff like placebo effect sizes and problems with unblinded subjective outcomes was exposing them and their sub-standard methods and bogus claims.

Results Of the 704 patients analyzed, 71.9% were female with a median age of 54 years (IQR: 45–64). Cardio-LC patients had statistically significant differences relative to the non-LC group in terms of blood pressure, elevated LDL cholesterol (p = 0.010), and non-HDL cholesterol (p = 0.013). In...

Fucking savages. :mad:

Any time somebody in authority uses the word 'feel' they are avoiding responsibility.

I smell a Streisand effect coming on.

Yes, interesting double standard: Subjective self-report from patients is adequate to claim therapeutic benefit, including in the absence of support from objective measures, while also being insufficient to warn of harm, even though harms require a much lower threshold to trigger concern. Maybe...

And power.

It has to be deliberate at this stage.

The LISTEN trial illustrates the need and value of further research in to personalised treatments delivered by a multidisciplinary team in community settings and people's homes. It does no such thing, you liars. Just in case anybody doesn't know, in the south of the USA, at least, that is an...

That one is above my pay grade. :bucktooth:

You must be new to this game.

Exercise led to consumption of lipids in ME/CFS and controls while metabolites were consumed in ME/CFS but generated in controls. Interesting, if it holds up.

One serious indicator of a failing state is their inability to train up, and retain, their own citizens for technical positions in particular. The same problem is happening here is Australia. The health system is being flooded by people from overseas. Not just the health system, all sorts of...
