It seems to, which is an interesting puzzle.
Thanks @ME/CFS Skeptic, for getting the citations up. I think it is interesting that the one thing that replicates is the VH3-30 weighting....
It seems that Audrey Ryback's data do not confirm a specific antigen driven expansion. I suspect that is a valid conclusion.
I think that is using the term the wrong way around. PEM isn't something that causes anything. It is the name for an effect - a fluctuation in...
Very much so.
He probably uses a PC though. You need an opinion from a Mac user. [ATTACH]
Because nobody has found any. Inflammation shows. With MRI you can see inflammation in any part of the body and in ME/CFS there isn't any. Even in...
Not specifically. Jo Cambridge might know more but we may need someone with detailed knowledge of VH3-30 regulation - which is a niche topic. In...
There isn't the slightest reason to use oxygen this way in ME/CFS. The only reports there are relate to hyperbaric, as others have said, and the...

Looking rapidly through this the data look pretty flimsy. The one controlled study that seems to have a meaningful result had queries about...
Nice to see this out. The finding of skewing to usage of a particular antibody heavy chain variable region gene may seem obscure but it is the...
@Oni, I think it is important to be aware that a lot of the 'patient information' documents on the internet in this are are unreliable, often...
No, I think maybe they just prefer people to say 'Wow, thanks for that!!' and re-tweet.
That site looks seriously garbled. I have not read through all of it but wonder if its an undercover advert for the IL-17 drug. Nevertheless, I...
That sounds lie a psychological question!! I guess we would have to ask them. One or two have explained that they find the critical analysis...
The six items are fairly close to what the delivery plan has been set up to say anyway but they are fair enough. Some specific points I would...
I don't see how they know any effects are due to autoantibodies.
I think things get tricky if you shift the context of the argument. You could say that tears are psychosomatic because they are caused by feeling...
Separate names with a comma.
