Is there any evidence for amalgams causing a problem?
I don't think BMJ will run it because I mention a name - Chalmers - and that is not allowed. So by all means post it. The version sent was: Dear...
And that is an anecdote @dave30th ;). Remember when Michael Buchanan came back to us and said that an eminent Cambridge statistician thought PACE...
OK, so we probably agree roughly on that. But why is it 'software', since it is going to be neuronal microstructure presumably that mediates...
Yes, that is why we test drugs on rats and if they work on rats we test them on humans. But the analogies need to be realistic. The sets and...
It looks like it has gravitated to 'activity management' = GET. I am sorry that I was not of more use here.
It might indeed, and it sounds as if they had to scrape the barrel to recruit. I am just saying, though, that those figures for people referred...
I appreciate that. And I think it is useful for us all to realise how hard it can be to see what one might call mathematical necessities - like in...
In general I would shift to sorted cell studies. The 'PBMC' category was always pretty ridiculous because it includes at least four largely...
That's right @Trish, but, as discussed with @Utsikt, examples like this are what I call 'special pleading' and although they may be valid, if we...
They apply to the narrower case until proved otherwise by the nature of set theory @Utsikt. I thin you have still got this back to front - maybe...
Nobody is labelling people who do to conform to ME/CFS criteria as ME/CFS, any more than they are labelling people with joint pain by not RA, RA....
But it doesn't @Medfeb. If an anti-inflammatory analgesic is studied in large trials of joint pain do we then say that it should not be...
Interesting data but these 'others' would presumably have been diagnosed as having these other conditions rather than CFS or ME/CFS. I don't think...
Two of the authors of that are Stone and Carson and we have pages of posts here detailing their poor quality arguments and evidence. I haven't...
Fair enough but it is unclear to me exactly what you are meaning by functional disorder. There are certainly people with unexplained neurological...
No because we have absolutely no understanding of these B cell IgHV gene usage shifts. A likely candidate might be complement mediated selection...
What would you investigate, @Sasha? We haven't found anything to distinguish people with ME/CFS from healthy controls much so where would you...
Statistical power does not come into the extrapolation from the wider set to the narrower one because there is nothing to do statistics on in this...
I don't buy it. Remember that Simon Wessely said that yes there are very ill disabled people who he loved to look after with chronic fatigue...
