My instinct is that rather little change will actually occur with this new administration. Most of what is being said is not because of 'beliefs'....
Never heard of it. Sounds a bit like waterboarding. Tailored torture for the masochist who wants to make the most of their misery?
I Would have thought that playing with 'animal models of Long Covid' would be one of the best ways to create yet another new virus that kills 20...
It looks like ill-informed speculation to me. The only figures they quote for autoimmunity that I have previous knowledge for they get wrong. They...
Interesting that nobody has suggested hiring airline pilot associates or bomb-disposal expert associates to do the stuff that you don't need a...
Plasma exchange is cumbersome, expensive and never worked very well for most things probably because it has no selectivity. I wouldn't revisit it....
I was interviewed by the journalist but she doesn't seem to have been interested in whether this is actually any good for patients, or honest...
The selling of things is regulated yes, but I am not aware of any regulation of providing things for people to try if they wish. The fact that it...
So it isn't hard to see why this programme got nowhere. The thinking is so simplistic and even contrary to the evidence. If you fail to find any...
I am suggesting that some underlying process gradually shifts the person's physiology into a position where an additional stimulus makes it...
Not necessarily. People who develop ME/CFS may be destined to develop it for reasons unrelated to viruses over perhaps a 5-10 year time window....
Is there a monopoly of medicine on health issues? Plenty of non-medical people supply health solutions. If someone makes a drug they are free to...
I have to say that from my perspective from within one particular specialty looking out on others the NIH seems to have been impressively...
I agree, @Andy, that the issue is not a need for guidelines but for intelligent well informed individuals contributing to fine-tuning of study...
Nick is not medical and admits the limits of his knowledge if you converse with him by email. He seems to have picked up some wrong ideas - not...
Endometriosis is female by definition so we cannot judge. But 'irritable bowel syndrome' is pretty similar and abdominal pain is dismissed as...
I agree. I don't even think it is a failure of the medical profession. It is a reflection of human beings' inability to understand how little they...
I doubt there is any reliable evidence other that if you have met a virus before you are less likely to have trouble with that one again. I huge...
That seems to me to be the key sentence, and in my experience reflects Nick's humility. His arguments are not very well-informed but I have to...
I haven't read the full article but going by the quotes and Greenhalgh's usual level of analysis I suspect a basic missing point. Patient...
Separate names with a comma.
