I don't get the relevance of that. I was talking about research experiments. I do not remember as a student in 1968 learning about any experiments...
I'd like to see some facts on this. What sorts of 'studies performed on men' are people really talking about? Most medical research gathers data...
Maybe but that seems to be a peculiarly US situation. If there had been something to go on ME would've been researched outside the US even if the...
I know Willy and Amolak very well. If they prescribe supplements then I guess what I have said still applies. It does not greatly surprise me.
Indeed, and although it is the brain that decides you are too hot, sensing the blood temperature, it makes you feel that your body is too hot, not...
I agree with @arewenearlythereyet that the argument about sexism does not really add up. The fact that illnesses where there is nothing to find on...
Is this actually the case, David (@dave30th). I have been in medicine for nearly fifty years and I have never come across any suggestion that....
I don't know what these doctors actually test for but there is no evidence that any supplements are actually helpful for ME. I very much doubt...
What is relevant is if a part of the body is hotter than it normally is in relation to the rest of the body. But that does not have to indicate...
If something is published in Japanese it either means that the international journal industry is not even interested - which has to be pretty bad...
Yes, you can afford not to try because all that stuff about targeted supplementation is almost certainly nonsense. There are no ME doctors who...
Bastian is still talking of limiting damage but to my mind no damage has been done. On the contrary, the civil war at Cochrane has reminded us not...
The Japanese study shows an apparent shift in activation of some phagocytic cells. That may something that happens as part of inflammation but it...
I hope this proves to be a real lead. Unfortunately, Cort Johnson does not give us a clear story and certainly not enough actual facts to make...
Dear @Tilly, I very much appreciate your situation but I think it is important not to overestimate what is known about either the illness or its...
I agree that an OT report might be very helpful.
I think this needs care. A letter with a diagnosis from a private practitioner, especially if in the alternative medicine network is likely to...
I am not sure that it need involve 'effort'. Using chemical energy does not necessarily equate to effort. The chemical reactions involved are all...
I actually think this analysis is wrong, or at least misleading. I am pretty sure the thermic effect of food is part of the basal metabolic rate,...
I think there is an important difference. Psychologists are to psychiatrists what physiologists are to physicians. The first is someone who has...
Separate names with a comma.
