Totally agree with the gist of the interview: we need good case definitions to get good research results. No argument. But there's a very strange...
This is what I hear from friends affected by breast cancer, too. First they're made to feel they brought it on themselves by stressing too much....
Would this is be the 'metabolic trap' discussed in these threads?...
Ok, so it's in a zebrafish, plus the technical description underneath is way over my head, but it does look stunning - and kind of exhausting, the...
This doesn't give much confidence that they understand the difference between 'chronic fatigue' and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. A quick scan of the...
Do you think that maybe your impression is more due to the tone of the discussion rather than the substance? I, too, often get a first impression...
Very important, that bit. Seems to have been swamped a bit lately by the – highly justified – critiques focusing on subjective outcome measures in...
I have a similar 2-stage response, with stage 2 being much, much worse. I suspect you're right: research results will differ dependent on when...
Constant. Same frequency as a mosquito and about the same volume. Volume doubles after meals, no idea why, and also when ME worse. Not sure when...
A little surprised by the level of cynicism in this thread. Granted, a solid dose of skepticism is in order. I, for one, wouldn't put money on a...

Probably overused but this quote fits well here: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win” (Gandhi, Klein)
Does anyone understand the “Bacterial Abilities” results, specifically the "phagosome" which for me has become significantly elevated since...
Definitely good news that they're doing follow up work. Also think it's good news new researchers are showing an interest in the field. Let's...
@Kalliope @Valentijn Found out some extra info re publication from Prof. Tate (one of the PhD supervisors, the author of the study being...
I agree. Especially since the supervisor is Prof. Tate who, I understand, likes to work together with Dr Vallings to make sure his study...
Good summary @Trish That's about as much as I could fathom. Two points from the second article: 1/ It's possible that what the researchers'...
Time will tell if this is true or a laboratory artefact, but if it is true there'll be a lot of research needing redone. Mitochondria are...
Always try to keep one 2-3 weeks before going to the doctor, to have some data to show. But that's more than enough, too much work and too much...
