Decreased cortisol is very non-specific and can simply reflect different behavioural patterns of people who are ill, namely a lack of intense...
The major flaw of this study is that it relies on (limited) primary care data - it is not a true representation of the whole population. I wish...
Aren't tryptophan catabolites too small for meaningful Ig responses? The only people talking about this is M Maes and colleagues - I can't find...
If it was abuse, bullying and stressful workplaces that cause PIFS, then there is no point measuring it unless we are going to make a strong...
That's because these measures don't actually have much to do with VO2Max or muscle strength for people of normal fitness, (except perhaps...

They are literally demonstrating proof of response biases, but still manage to conclude that their therapy is effective!?!
Australians in general seem to be very skeptical about the impact or existence of LongCOVID (as seen in the coronavirus downunder reddit etc).
This is a decades old narrative that pre-dates CFS. Whenever anyone says something is not psychological or criticises psychological treatment...
This is an important point. "Graded exercise therapy" that focuses on low-intensity duration of activity does not increase cardiovascular fitness...
Isn't that what all the pro-ivermectin people are claiming? That is going to go down real well...
