Let's assume that the EU decides to make €2 million available for ME/CFS research and projects. What would be the best way to spend this money?
I hope the student realizes that this kind of dishonesty is one reason that psychological theories are unpopular. As patient you can't have a...
I think LDN would be more important as there hasn't been any clinical trials on it yet. Some people say it's a helpful treatment. Re. consensus...
Regarding point 1, I understand that it is the US congress that has to ask NIH to set aside funding. Lipkin told us to lobby congress years ago...
