I wonder if Ron Davis et al are looking at Mycoplasma in their probing for pathogenic organisms. I would be interested if the findings from...
When I was bed bound I'd estimate I ate about 3500 kcal/day - comparable to when I was powerlifting. I became somewhat worryingly skinny compared...
The only trait that runs on a spectrum is introverted/extroverted. All the rest, you could be strongly both. Observation an intuition, thinking...
If said molecule were to be isolated then we could go gangbusters on all of these possibilities! I guess we'll see :unsure:.
I think if you wanted to intervene at the level of this hypothetical ME-causing blood molecule, you would be looking for another molecule to bind...
Sometimes multiple values in tension with one another must be balanced order to produce the greatest good. In this case (1) the need to trust...
I read it as 'say what you really think, don't dissemble'. Wessely used to be good at this ("...ME is a belief..."). As far as I know Sharpe has...
"I'm shocked, shocked, ..." Most unfortunate but not surprising, I suppose. If you want to skirt the law find the right unscrupulous lawyer. If...
I second these questions. For me it seems like the value in having people trained in statistics is not so much in doing the sterile number...
The only discernible point being made in this paper is that people are inveterately biased towards caring about understanding things that they...
@Barry This is the abstract paradigm/'theory' behind the study but you wouldn't put this language in a hypothesis for statistical testing; it's...
Yes, this is clearly frivolous. That tweet just gives him an actual example of being unfairly accused of something. It might be ethical for the...
For me this theory, if applied to ME, is trying to explain it in terms of already familiar processes - tissue damage and healing - that look to be...
The issue for me here is that, for the disease we're interested in, whatever the pathology is it notably causes no disrepair/damage to be healed...
I don't think so. I don't believe insurance companies would typically cover Mayo Clinic CFS treatment - unless you had bought some sort of...
When you put together a group of people with 16-25+ years of education and they serve this up as their magnum opus, well... all I'm saying is it...
Yes for all of the reasons stated earlier in this thread. It doesn't help that the reporting is perfunctory.
@Woolie " Developed within a coherent theoretical and philosophical framework, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a unique empirically...
@Trish I think your observations are apt. I looked into ACT and to me it appears to be a mishmash of Buddhist dispositions (mindfulness/acceptance...
Weird article. I didn't discern any arguments for or against the quality of the research or the validity of the findings. Just tribalistic emotion...
