Explain this to me, please. Then, if you would, explain it to me where it doesn't potentially end in a dystopian fashion for people it...
Inflammation is a downstream effect. It does not appear unprovoked; something generates the inflammation. It's not the "cause." With respect, you...
I doubt it's inspiration they'll find.
Only if the cause is a genetic anomaly. I fear anything else discovered, e.g. a predilection to develop long-term sequelae, could lead to some...
Seems to me if a study has the word "health" in any way near the word "behavior", someone is going to get screwed.
Yep. But the idea that Lyme diagnoses are handed out like candy with no concern about serology is pretty much the stuff of propaganda, at least in...
Well, yes, I suppose to a certain extent that's true. But your picture is so incomplete it does a disservice to the thousands upon thousands of...
@Wyva and @Mij, Im sorry I don't want to derail this thread, but there is a logical fallacy about applying exceptional occurrences to broad ones....
@Mij , I am sorry for the loss of your friend.
I am always taken aback when I see such perspectives from people I respect. That's because it well may be. Can be. But not in a vacuum. Most...
Always nice to see some of these authors, but imho crappy Lyme coverage. I'm not sure what that says about the integrity of the rest of the...
merged thread A couple of the authors' names got my attention, so I skimmed this. I honed in on their Lyme analysis. I personally would give that...
I suspect it's not limited to liability concerns. Naturally there may be related concerns in play - for instance, insurance lobbies - but I...
Infectious diseases have an entire discipline dedicated to them for a reason - and still they proliferate. Many of them - many - have little in...
Yes, but ME/CFS is quite often triggered after an elongated lag phase, so then by your logic it is pretty likely that this is the norm for ME/CFS....
Delayed onset may ultimately reduce down to delayed onset of ME/CFS symptoms - not necessarily delayed onset of disease or infection. Two broad...
Sure, it's good to debate any views, and to disagree. But you suggested her's were unhelpful. You don't think medical experts make assumptions...
Why? She's earned her assumptions. She helped put us smack in the public square, at least for a time. Besides, we all have some earned...
This is an important step in the right direction, but I'd suggest more political than anything else. Hard fought for, though, yes. Perhaps a...
Not a good era for the CDC or NIH since the 80's...Seems to me heavy on political expedience and light on deep and accurate and patient-centric...
Separate names with a comma.
