So far as I can see the qEEG research suffers from the same issue as the rest of our research ... lack of funding and political will. Spectral...
This is one of the issues with psychosomatic claims. Distress arising from a physical issue is, classically, psychosomatic. That does not mean...
Yes, "psychosomatic" is not a clear objective concept. Its waffle. Its a buzzword for many psychiatrists. We need specific treatable mechanisms,...
One of the issues I think we face, and it happened to me, is that a lot of the medical computer systems have predefined categories. If someone...
I think this is what has happened, though "prove" can be from patients not coming back, or patients endorsing an improvement with no objective...
The history of laetrile that I looked into 20 years ago is much to this point. I think they were calling it B17, its a cyanide based poison. They...

A thing about medicine is its often about diagnosis using overt objective symptoms, and sometimes biochemical signs that are validated in a small...

What about the circadian issues? Many of us have major circadian problems. I have had everything from inverted sleep hours, to advancing sleep...
One problem for our community in particular is many of these symptoms are common ME symptoms. We might not even notice if the Covid was mild...
There are a number of lines of evidence, including the recent paper showing low CO2 in the brain and possibly ubiquitous orthostatic intolerance....
Does failure to find a unique neuroimaging profile of ME imply that this is secondary to the real problems? (Ignoring possible issues with cohort...
