No, at least it limits where funding should go. Right now there's funding going to mitochondrial dysfunction, blood vessel dysfunction, blood...
Such medical procedures never cause problems ... until several thousand people make the same complaints, leading to a study that shows that the...
The problem with renaming the disease is that at this point, all the proposed (and used) names are purely guesses about the defining qualities of...
Well, it's better than waiting ten years before someone decides it's worth starting such a study. If it does take ten years to get enough data to...
I totally agree: renaming something does not solve the actual problem. The renamer probably expects major rewards for their "great progress!".
I agree with the general aspects of the theory, and agree with the need for more focus on neuroimaging of patients before, during, and after...
Yes, bad researchers love topics that lack quantifiable qualities, because they can claim whatever they like without risk of being proven wrong.
Also, some of us have symptoms that aren't worsened by exertion, yet we still feel lousy all the time. I've been shovelling snow for several...

Did you come across any mention of the effects of circulating fatty acids? I've become intolerant of fibre metabolites, possibly propionate, and...
I cover my window with a styrofoam sheet with a tarp (fairly light-blocking) attached to it. It's mainly for insulation (gets to -40 here), but I...
What pops to mind is a Rube Goldberg invention involving live songbirds. :emoji_bird::emoji_bird::) There are alarm clocks with various sounds....
Yes, there have been plenty of days where it occurs to me: "I'm walking like an elderly man." On days when my ME is less than usual, I notice...
Any changes in gait are likely to reduce walking efficiency and thus increase physiological cost. It might involve no dysfunction in muscle cells...
Are these fraudsters given any punishment? I think they deserve to be on a journalism list for "known fraudsters", and be required for all...
We'd need glial modulators. I don't think there's been a lot of R&D for those. Another reason for not administering drugs directly to the brain:...
I think this is a case of "the actual system is much more complicated than we're covering". If ME was as simple as inadequate SCFA production,...
