Expressing anger made her feel less fatigued, so 'the mind-body connection was proved in an instant'. Therefore if you find that anger doesn't alleviate your fatigue, that means the mind-body connection is *dis*proved in an instant? (of course not, it just means the goalposts get moved again.)

No, he talks about things like lowering inflammation and getting people "back into a healing state", plus the importance of rest, but he doesn't claim cures. Various phrases like "some of Sinclair’s patients are seeing light at the end of the tunnel." etc.

Do we know what trial he's talking about here?

Someone sent me this link for it https://www.thetimes.com/article/1a49f428-ef8b-43a2-854e-336f3c4f0094?shareToken=7c4dbfedcf35f9b03f4faf2b0c5a27a0

Did they test anyone's 6MWT (or other measures) without intervention?

... but we'll still put out a press release hyping it up. LOL.

I think for Google the point is that it extends their control over what people see online and where they see it. So if you want to know something, you don't go to Wikipedia or some other website where humans have collected human knowledge, or god forbid a library; you stay on a Google site and...

What I want is not to be left to the mercies of a GP whose approach to Long Covid is to ask me if I've tried yoga and give me the link to some online CBT. Right now, this lot seem to be about the only people in positions of relevant authority who are saying that might not quite fit the requirements.

But the rest of the NHS and the Department of Health have got their fingers stuck in their ears singing "la la la, Covid is over, it's all in the past and it's very important that we never ever think about it again." As far as cavalry goes, these guys are about on the level of primary-school...

*sigh*

They found 'common mental disorders' in over half their sample (though you have to go delving in the supplemental tables to see this; for some reason they don't want to give the figures in their summary), and they define PCS as any one of a very long list of symptoms lasting longer than four...

Reduction in serotonin transporters in the brain wouldn't necessarily correlate with overall serotonin level in the blood?

Just wondered if the #ThereforME campaign is aware of/has signed the petition? (sorry if I've missed it)

It's the kind of thing you find in Peter Gladwell's stuff about 'if you choose to increase your baseline...'

I notice in Table IV that all the women who said the intervention was helpful rated the helpfulness as 'small-moderate'. Of the two men who said it was helpful, one rated the helpfulness 'small-moderate' and one 'big'.

I googled 'butyrate diet'. The second hit was a study in mice finding that a high butyrate diet made them more susceptible to e coli, and the third was the Cleveland Clinic saying high butyrate levels can cause bloating in those with a 'sensitive gut'.

These guys heard about psychology's falsification crisis and said 'hold my aperitivo'.

Just deep, regular breathing basically! There's a feature on the app to guide you in doing it. Plus some blurb about its supposed benefits.

I've done that, but thank you for offering! Got a reply saying they would raise it at the weekly meeting where they discuss user feedback.

I've been using Visible for a few weeks and I'm pleased with it as a pacing aid. However I've been trying the 'coherent breathing' feature the last few days and finding it makes me feel worse; it also lowers my HRV, when the advertised purpose is to raise it. Today I scrolled through the...
