This post and two following have been copied from this thread: Concerns about craniocervical instability surgery in ME/CFS...
The trouble with 'objective' is that it has layers of meaning. Placebos probably do not alter things like haemoglobin or CRP level. However,...
I think what we need is honesty. If I am likely to be biased towards any treatment it is rituximab. We have seen people on rituximab trials with...
A chilly analysis it seems.
We have discussed this at length before and you may not have seen it so I will repeat. People with documented CCI in general do not have improved...
I think that illustrates how hard it is to know what is really going on here.
I was talking about people with CCI, not people 'diagnosed with CCI'. The evidence before my eyes in terms of the scans put up on the internet do...
As indicated before, I don't think this is necessarily the logical conclusion. In people with CCI, CCI surgery tends not to produce improvement -...
A good question. The only thing that I can think of is that some of the 'experts' involved have had a personal interest in highlighting these....
Yes, there are a scattering of odd results from a few researchers with pet ideas - but there always are. Why bother theorising about viruses...
With due respect (meant entirely sincerely) @Nasim Marie Jafry, it seems you have no idea how private surgery works. None of the images I have...
I don't think this makes sense @Trish because CCI does not cause symptoms of ME. It causes a different picture. Symptoms of CCI in general DO NOT...
So one has to ask why the test is so unbalanced.
Everyone has EBV replicating at low level, but what has that got to do with 'abortive' colonisation? I don't really see why this idea is at all...
August seems newish to me. If disinformation spreads like this within what ought to be well-informed organisations the situation seems dire.
Is this a new text on the site? If so, who on earth put it there? It is totally inappropriate.
As far as I remember this is just a speculation by Lerner without any substantive evidence. Cells have a variety f mechanisms for disrupting...
It gives a whole new meaning to brainwashing
This syndrome seems to have been invented by the authors and there seem to be no papers about it by anyone else. I am not sure what the abstract...
I agree that the use of 'biologic' to describe biological drugs (in fact proteins manufactured by genetic engineering methods) is salient....
