I completely agree, and I think the problem might be something like that. I would argue that makes it all the more important not to use money on...
Probably a semantic point, but even if it were the over-consumption of energy there would have to be some signal for that to be perceived as...
The analogy was to a gadget. In humans we would have to use imaging or blood samples to see what is going wrong. That can be done while the...
That would be an incredibly inefficient way to go about it. Given you know nothing about the issue there are literally an infinite number of...
Makes sense. I doubt exertion can result from a breakdown in muscle in a simple sense. When healthy I could go to the gym and work a specific...
What's the rational for looking at muscles again? Presumably exertion impacts all sorts of biological systems including non muscular ones.
I think we have to define what exertion is in this context. If PEM is delayed, it could always be the case that it is caused by some exertion at...
I don't have a strong opinion on subgroups but don't think we have good reasons for ruling them out. The key symptoms of ME/CFS are still vague...
That has already happens. There are plenty of anecdotes but nothing that seems particularly promising. For all we know a drug that works for...
Given the stark difference in symptoms between ME/CFS and healthy controls why would we expect that subtle differences in metabolites could play...
I also think there is a group of people that get red/blue feet and hands from being upright too long and/or too hot. My guess is that it happens...
Thank you for entertaining this discussion, there have been many interesting ideas. I think I understand what you are saying here. The many...
It does seem like Einstein remained unconvinced that quantum mechanics was a complete theory even if it makes accurate predictions. He did...
I think what would be most useful is figuring out what percentage of people that meet ME/CFS criteria are later discovered to have another...
I'm not convinced that preference is somewhere between determined and stochastic. An event that occurs must either have a reason for occurring or...
Jonathan brought up a good point that its not just about the number of connections. Neurons have more signals that just open or close so there are...
Even for random quantum events just because its uncertain to an observer doesn't mean its not determined. I don't think we know that if we rewound...
Exactly, and I think consciousness is deterministic and based of the laws of physics. I think the main reason why many people think differently...
I certainly don't, as I am not a biologist. I tend to assume that many other animals have some level of conscious experience though. I would argue...
Thanks for the previous post, I thought it was very interesting. I just had a few questions; why do we think everything consists of the transfer...
