I don't think new research studies are dismissed or discussion discouraged on this forum. Studies are critiqued, not just accepted at face value....
This extensive study from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), examines the effects of more than 1000 human targeted drugs on 40...
I find LDN very helpful for dampening an overactive sympathetic nervous system and stabilising blood pressure. I recall others reporting...
There is a related thread discussing a report on this study, rather than the actual study. I discussed what fructans actually are in that thread...
Yes they both sequence segments of the 16S rRNA gene which is specific to bacteria and for which there is an extensive database. I'm not sure if...
Don't get too caught up in the detail. It is a very technical paper and you really don't need to know about most of it. I linked it because Fig...
Only a tiny proportion are identified by commercial culture-based techniques, but DNA sequencing techniques can detect everything that is there...
Those statements are based on the distorted picture of the gut given by culture based tests. Once DNA sequencing techniques were applied to the...
Thrombocytes are platelets. These are the small blood cells that clump together to form a clot. Platelet count is one element of the standard...
Ferritin is an acute phase protein so also increases in the inflammatory response. So elevated ferritin can indicate iron overload, liver...
My impression is that my hypersensitivity - to both drugs and other things - is both selective and variable. When I first got sick around 2000, I...
I'm getting wary of studies on the gut microbiota. When they first started coming out the concepts and technology involved were all so new that...
Absolutely. Low fat anything is junk, it has to be loaded up with additives to make it palatable.
I experienced it personally. I was an outsider who had discovered something new (being a woman in a male-dominated scientific world didn't help...
What a great study! A reminder to seek out food as uncontaminated by industrial processing as possible. And of course real icecream has no need...
Please note that folic acid is not a natural form of folate and while we can convert it into a useable form, the process is not without problems....
The active form of vitamin D, calcitriol, does act as a hormone - that is its normal role - nothing to worry about. It has widespread metabolic...
I have had the short synacthen test. It didn't have any adverse effects, nor did I get any boost from it.
Even if the miRNA study does show a real statistical difference between the test and control patients (which I doubt since in their original...
Separate names with a comma.
