I agree with Yann04 that they're not really sure what they're measuring. Do people vary in their nerve signals strengths in response to the...
I'm convinced that LDN did work on my ME's pain symptom. It shouldn't be a placebo effect, since I didn't have much confidence that it would...
I think the strength of the placebo effect depends on the strength of your belief that the treatment has a real biological effect. One person say...
I was thinking about it as a filter against studies that are likely to be unproductive, but done just because they use the keywords that get...
Maybe they don't really have a plan for that. The real plan was to use fashionable fund-winning words (EBV, autoreactive, post-infectious) to win...
Could an x-prize system be applied? Find a clinical biomarker, provide strong evidence that some mechanism causes some aspect of ME, find a...
To me it sounds like looking at some random spots and seeing some patterns which get some dramatic theory applied to those imaginary patterns....
Possibly ME is triggered by immune system activation, and the trigger for the immune system is not important. I think this might be one of those...
I definitely don't look at PEM that way, because my PEM didn't reduce my ability to physically exert myself. Even during severe PEM, I could...
I've been PEM-free for around 5 years now. My other ME symptoms remain, so no, staying out of PEM does not lead to recovery from ME.
Maybe "oxygen therapy" wasn't properly defined. Simply breathing in some extra oxygen isn't the same as HBOT, but maybe your doctor isn't aware...
Not true. There's signalling involved, with feedback loops, so it doesn't necessarily require a depletion of a specific type of molecule....
They also involve neurons being active, supported by glial cells, blood vessels, glymphatic vessels, etc. I think there are plenty of...
I wasn't saying that physical exertion changes how immunity works; I was saying that exertion causes immune activity: releasing cytokines and...
I don't think so. The abstract sounds like they didn't really learn all that much, but are making lots of unsupported conclusions that various...
... or it might mean that being ill and having reduced activity results in larger hippocampal volumes. Cause or effect? They should check...
To me, PEM is a worsening of existing symptoms due to some causative factor. Exertion is only one of many causative factors that can trigger...
What jumps to my mind is whether the commonality involves the immune system (s). Are there any causes of worsening that doesn't have some sort of...
Known symptoms of deficiency and toxicity. Researchers keep discovering new effects/symptoms of assumedly well-understood nutrients.
I agree, but it needs to be not so all-encompassing that people get the impression that we're just whiners whining about anything and everything.
