Interesting debunking of blatant misrepresentation of Long Covid data from the UK national survey. None of this can be argued to be accidental,...
The US army has a loooot of people on active or reserve duty and lots more in veterans affairs. On top of a huge number of civilians in the...
The same old nonsense as always. The small study doesn't support this, but it's said anyway, because exercise was already obsessively pushed,...
Published in BMJ and cites COPE, which as we know has been ignoring issues with Cochrane's terrible reviews on GET, where authors somehow,...
Phenylephrine is a decongestant commonly found in some over-the-counter cold medication like Sudafed. Usually it's to reduce swelling and...
Oof. Not exactly encouraging... It's so poorly studied, and yet it may in fact be the most well-studied. Loooong way to go yet. I still get a...

All of this makes a lot of sense when stress is used with its common meaning, typically an external force making a demand and requiring energy to...
This is not an appropriate thing in ME/CFS, it's highly arbitrary and I can't think of a single possible use for it. In fact for many of those...
It'll be something watching him completely change his tune once this happens and his own research is dismissed as garbage. It's easy to dump on...
I noticed studies and headlines about this over the last few years and it's all over the place, there is zero consistency in anything. One day...
I don't see the point in applying generic advice to specific problems. People should drink water when they're thirsty and eat good healthy food....
