This is an aspect of what I see is a growing problem in medicine. That is optimization to inferior or premature outcome markers. If the marker is...
I battled this for way over 20 years. I will give some thoughts about what helped me. First, in my case I thought it was RSI, I was diagnosed...
Yes, epigenetic changes. This is usually temporary, like with sepsis and burns, but with us its postulated that we get stuck. Why we get stuck has...
My point was that, officially, there were at least seven cases a year they could not account for. There were probably many more that went undetected.
I don't know about that study, but at a medical conference in 99 I had a chance to talk with Australia's government expert on Lyme. The official...
Predictive models based on association can easily be just association. Causality not required. What it does hint at, requiring more study, is...
I have an appointment for an AstraZerneca shot in a bit over an hour, just booked it a bit over an hour ago. I first have to show I am in the...
Right, a great many object to the diagnoses, and the lack of good science, not the patients having problems and needing help.
This looked so bizarre I had to at least glance at the paper. Technically somatic means body, hence physical, but they are playing loose with...
Its worse than that. There is a reason the US government had to do a report on biomarkers - even in the NIH people did not understand what a...
Its a fail to not have at least some objective measures. Medical visits, hours worked or studied or otherwise doing something, activity measures,...
As a comment that I have seen many times, advances in medical science typically follow advances in technology, both diagnostic and treatment...
From the blog by ME/CFS Skeptic: "We can’t help but wonder what would have happened if biomedical understanding of diabetes hadn’t been so...
Yes, its documented that many diabetics were thrown in insane asylums because there is nothing wrong with them. I may read this and comment...
This happened to someone I know in Australia. They were not paralyzed, just had ME symptoms.
We actually know why there is a nanoneedle delay. TWO new nanoneedles are on order, one from China and one from US. Both are delayed due to...
Good advice. I hope she is doing well.
It opens possibilities but without a controlled trial we need a robust finding to be sure. Still requires a trial, and strong results. The...
From a Google search - "Immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (IGHV) gene mutation status is a biomarker for the prognosis of chronic...
We will have to wait and see. I agree that in science we have to be careful with caveats. More importantly they seem to be emphasising that...
Separate names with a comma.
