There are confounding factors too. Maybe on cloudy days you eat more of some kind of food, and on hot days avoid some. Activity levels may vary...
The good thing about stores like this is that it has at least a possibility of forcing people to re-examine what science is, and maybe rework the...
Viral infections may be a common trigger for ME, but I believe that it's not the virus that's important, but the activation of the immune cells....
"Peer review is more like a smoke test--"Does it smoke when you plug it in? Good enough."" Good engineers take the enclosure off for the smoke...
I agree that environmental stresses and genetics may be involved in the likelihood of ME developing. I still believe that it's immune activation...
Things that are easy to do and get funding for will get repeated. There's definitely a problem with the rewards for doing things already done....
While that is true, it's also unfortunately true that there are limited resources available for ME research, and there is simply not enough...
I don't believe that ME is a metabolic disease, so not those researchers. I do believe it's neuroimmunological (glial cells involved), but I...
When I read the title, I thought that psychiatrists/psychologists would be more useful if they assumed a T-shape (arms stretched out). Coat racks...
I wonder how much the supplement actually changes brain serotonin synthesis. That's only around 5% of the TRP intake, so maybe the effects were...
If this test is done on ME patients, and it shows similar abnormalities, even if it doesn't explain why/how, it would at least be some clinical...
I hadn't thought of magnetic susceptibility as a diagnostic technique, but that is the sort of thing I was hoping for. If ME is due to some brain...
Keep in mind that "feeling" something also involves bi-directional signalling networks and processing networks, and malfunction there can cause...
That's a study I hope gets a follow-up, especially with ME subjects.
Healthy controls and athletes? How about some unhealthy inactive controls? Let studies of differences between normally-active people and...
Can we find someone to hack into the internet and global replace all mention of 'chronic fatigue' with 'chronic...
One other test I thought of but haven't heard of being used yet is to collect EEG data from different parts of the brain, vagus nerves, and any...
I'd put this at low priority too. It assumes that ME is due to an infection. Ditto for genetics studies, which assume a genetic cause. ME could...
I was thinking more about it, and I feel that funding prevalence, 'how PWME's lives are affected', and other such studies are kind of defeatist:...
That's my belief about ME too: that it's a subtle dysfunction in possibly just a few brain cells, which affects various other brain cells in other...
