I see ME/CFS characterized as "illness" and "condition" and, arguably,"problem" Any reason for the seeming aversion to "disease"?
Spurious, ballsy, and dangerous stuff, and I don't mean that in a good way.

As I mentioned in the other Ron Davis thread, I cannot help but notice the link an HLA theory would have to an area Mark Davis is well-versed in,...
I wonder if we are seeing Mark Davis's influence here. He would be very familiar with the HLA connection to Allen Steere's theory about the...
Perhaps a pleasant, inadvertent byproduct might be a funneling of research dollars into channelopathies - today horrifically underfunded, not...
Lipkin is doing a panel. Pretty cool stuff, in theory. He's got Brian Fallon working on it, too (Fallon used to be a darling in the Lyme advocacy...
This is a very good article, but it - in my opinion - still may stumble on phrasing provided by mainstream Lyme. For instance: "Widely accepted...
John Halperin? Imagine asking Crawley to weigh in on whether ME/CFS is purely a biological disease that rarely is curable.
Pretty good article. As a rule, I try to avoid talking about chronic Lyme. It's better and simpler and clearer and less controversial to talk...
I'm not clear on how using an MRI to try to qualify pain would be any more successful than using an MRI to measure IQ. MRIs will demonstrate...
@Starlight , in theory you could have both. I have been diagnosed with both. But there is no way to definitively prove it. Not yet at least....
My understanding is magnesium deficiencies are associated with chronic disease (and often, by extension, inflammation), much like Vit D...

I think this is a fair assumption, but not necessarily completely correct. An example, although not metabolic, might be body temp. Many pwME have...
