Maybe, but credibility would depend on some degree of apparent quality control - hence having diagnostic criteria despite the fact that nobody...
I think it is a major red flag if a physician who is an enthusiast for a condition that has yet to be generally recognised as real writes popular...
No, I have looked at this in detail. You can see above from the quote above mine that MCAS requires a temporal rise in tryptase.
That to me is seriously worrying. I think in the UK a doctor might well go to jail for using ECT off label - at least be struck off. Certainly for...
I think it is very unlikely that mast cell activation relates to ME in general. The reason is that although many of the features of mast cell...
We propose that this is not through a failure of goodwill on anybody’s part That seems a bit of a turnaround for someone who has been accusing...
I really cannot work out what they think they are trying to say. They want to separate illness as symptoms from disease as physical process. But...
Being employed in a hospital does not exclude being fringe. Hospital doctors prescribing non-approved treatments are much less common in the UK...
As I understand it in the UK the view would be that electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) would be something to consider if it was judged that the 'CFS'...
So the claim of comparable benefit in the two conditions is not actually substantiated?
Well her hairdo is quite miraculous, I agree.
Quite interesting that the imporovement in fatigue in the study looks much more dramatic than in PACE. In PACE the score drops from 28 to 21, with...
Tinnitus does not stop you noticing gaps in other sounds - I know because I have tinnitus. It seems more likely the mice do not notice the gap...
How do they know the mice have tinnitus I wonder? To find out if a person has tinnitus you have to ask them in a language they understand.
I would like to think there might be a useful response to this article. However, it is so bad it is hard to see what one can say. The philosophy...
The theory is based on a common misconception - that the placenta and fetes are 'foreign' and should be rejected like a foreign graft. This is...
I suspect it is true to the extent that when people are asked they say their fatigue is reduced to a similar degree - i.e. not much. But fatigue...
There seems to be a reproducible difference in 2 day CPET results but I am not that confident it tells us anything about a causal of ME rather...
Sadly, I don't think this is realistic. If medics are directed to CDC or IOM websites they will see what they take to the the consensus view of a...
But do they actually say that? ME is chronic and complex but as to which systems mediate the problem I don't think we know. Preliminary research...
Separate names with a comma.
