Well, technically, "a" Lyme treatment. :) Incidentally, PCR's are far more likely to have a false negative when it comes to Borrelia, than a...
Yes, I wasn't suggesting what was dropped in 1962 was either babesia or Lyme. Indeed, neither seems likely since, according to Newby, one of the...
Records are sparse, but apparently enough survive for Newby to piece a narrative together that suggests directives mandating "non-lethal" agents,...
"...both OCHOS/SFN were attributed to Post Treatment Lyme disease Syndrome of presumed autoimmune etiology." Presumed? Is that how they do...
I find myself wondering if Willy interacted with Erich Traub of Operation Paperclip fame. I cannot see how they could have avoided at least...
Makes for a good read, though. :) She's on my list of author's I'd like to talk to.
Re-reading it. It's all pretty eye-opening, but one chapter in particular is fascinating. It concerns Operation Mongoose back in 1962. It arguably...
Plenty of precedent for this, I suspect. Although not viruses, spirochetes are notoriously adept at making the immune system think they are not...
This is an Aucott product. If memory serves me, isn't he an ex-Infectious-Disease-expert-turned-rheumatologist? Wonder what his emphasis might be....
Clearly, CFS is unacceptable. Regardless, do we know definitively that even a majority of people diagnosed with ME/CFS are, in fact, post...
Ah, some one had the presence of mind to avoid embracing "chronic covid". Talk about stigma associated with a simple, single adjective...
More than one infection may be at play, or have triggered what we call ME/CFS. I also had slow and progressive onset comprised primarily of...
I suspect what they are trying to diagnose is Lyme disease. "Chronic" is nothing more than an adjective. Do they use "chronic"? Probably. At one...
"Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of autoimmune origin..." Maybe, maybe not. Not an encouraging sign they make such a...
Feels like an exercise in marketing.
Why word it this way? Why not title it "NIH details patients' experiences with post exertional malaise in ME/CFS"? Perhaps more to the point, why...
Unless Kant was onto something, and causation is nothing more than perspective, a human "tool" with which to better navigate life. I think that...
I am delighted whenever the voice of the patient is integrated into medical discovery. Focus groups, however, at least to this old time market...
I thought a general rule of thumb is pathogens resulted in elevated VEGF, at least as far as serum VEGF (vs CSF VEGF as pertains to one of the...
Are they looking at a relevant marker but for the wrong reasons, I wonder...: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC300888/
