From the above I am not clear that any of this explains anything relevant either to LongCovid or ME? I am afraid that a paper with...
I have not read the full paper but I am unclear why they subjected healthy 'controls' to cryotherapy. I do not see how they provide a control....
So it wasn't like asking three people @Trish cos you know it couldn't be Prince Charles. We have to be rigorous about our arguments here....
It's easy, functional medicine is the same as functional illness. There is nothing there except that it functions as if there was. Or, to be...
Nothing like break old ground with re-purposing then. The neurologists could have worked out what was going on in MS years ago but the same old...
It is time that ME researchers actually said it how it is. It is not that the assay is not ready for clinical use. It has no apparent relevance to...
CD16 monocytes are more likely to pick up virus simply by being older and having the immunoglobulin receptor (CD16) to bind virus complex. They...
The classification of 'non-classical monocytes' leaves me pretty sceptical. There are lots of these so called subset designations. But the crucial...
Good thing Trish doesn't live in Thailand.
If a ventilation/perfusion study was not done originally, certainly. A pulmonary embolism can show nothing much on chest x-ray and other tests....
And what if they have a disease called ME that does not show up on the virus-detection robot? Does it allow employers to prove that you are not...
That is a very fair critique of the biomedical science scene. I learnt early on how uncritical they are. A famous immunologist called Av Mitchison...
AN interesting signalling system that might be relevant to ME.
I am all for studies of wearable biosensors but this seems a rather peculiar application. Are well all going to be wearing biosensors all the time...
Apheresis for moving antibodies (as described here) usually uses a filter/adsorbing column based on a bacterium-derived antibody scavenging...
I can see that if you are running you would want absorption of fluid in upper small intestine rather than colon so maybe that is the rationale.
I am always puzzled by these claims about rehydration. If I drink a pint of pure water I absorb it. I don't have watery diarrhoea, I have a pee...
That would be 1.35% W/V. Sounds OK?
These people seem to be writing in the 4th century PT. (Post-truth that is.)
Alan Hakim was one of our trainees and took over the hypermobility story from Rodney Graham. He is probably now the main person in the UK pushing...
Separate names with a comma.
