Hype isn't always the same as pseudoscience, but I get your point. With all due respect to Jo Edwards, to fully appreciate the challenges, you'd...
Is a gag reflex sickness behavior? This was a decade ago. I remember when I was a Gerwyn fan (if I've the right Gerwyn). I still miss those...
@Jaybee00 , why do you say that? I want to believe in this group, but I'm too much of a cynic to begin with. Do you know something more tangible...
If I were going to mention ME/CFS in the context of a concept, I might want to mention how such a concept can be abused, and cite the Walitt NIH...
