I don't know. We know in Whitney Dafoe and Olaf Bodden there was a significant worsening of ME/CFS, so that's one adverse outcome that can occur.
True, but that does not imply patients are not benefiting from these treatments. Formal evidence is not there because even when promising ME/CFS...

What if you deliberately start taking rapid deep breaths: does that increase the oxygen saturation? I had a pulse oximeter (but it broke), and I...
Could these lower oxygen saturation figures just be a result of ME/CFS patients (of necessity) being sedentary much of the time? If you are doing...
The new hepatitis C antiviral drugs like sofosbuvir which fully eradicate the virus and cure this disease indicate that pharmaceutical companies...
Unfortunately I did not see the job advert myself, but read an article in which the author claimed that some pharma company or companies were...
John Chia has already got pharmaceutical companies on board, by explaining to them the need for good enterovirus antivirals. In the past,...
Google Forms allows you to set up a really nice-looking free questionnaire that has a large range of question presentation options (multiple...
It unfortunately does not seem to be scheduled on the UK version of PBS America, at least not in the next 10 days.
Just for reference purposes, here is Dr Chia's slide of enterovirus antibody titers in 200 ME/CFS patients versus 150 healthy controls:...
Yes, Lerner's theory does certainly lack empirical evidence, but the same cannot be said for enterovirus non-cytolytic infections, which can be...
This has been the perennial debate in ME/CFS: what is the meaning of the high antibody titers usually found in ME/CFS? Some believe that the high...
Good idea to do a poll like this, but it is hard from this poll to get any sense of the degree of suffering involved. For example, I normally do...
