The stuff of nightmares. Thought I'd probably take a brain worm over this M.E hell.

He was a guest on some grifter YouTube channel or podcast recently, where he's saying he wants to 'make a million'.

Thanks, may try this. Some people say just covering the verruca (e.g., with duct tape) can help, so maybe the combination of a plaster with salicyclic acid might work.

I think they got rid of verruca treatment as standard in the NHS. Might vary by trust, but it's definitely not like it used to be. I had a wart frozen when I was at school.

I've had one for the best part of a decade. At various times I've tried to treat it, mostly with over-the-counter gels such as bazuka. In Feb–March I had several sessions with a podiatrist, including 2 x debridlement and one quick session with a 'verruca pen' which seemed to be some sort of...

His work on ME/CFS has come up on the forum a few times. I have stated here before that I get bad vibes from his work, but I wasn't aware that he was publishing dozens of papers a month, which, as anyone in academia will tell you, is ludicrous.

Precisely this. We need to build a whole network of researchers / give them some sort of incentives/support to switch to this line of research. Perhaps an MRC centre of excellence for infection-associated chronic illness? That's the scale of what is needed.

I'm in quite a bad crash at the moment, and I'm going to have to reduce screentime and stop most of my advocacy work for a while. I might not be able submit my own comments unless this crash subsides. I just want to add two points for now (that others may have already made): (i) EDUCATION AND...

ah ok, that's good.

Yes, was wondering this. There are two potential issues/considerations: (i) is it better to have 50 responses saying roughly the same things compared with just one, and (ii) the response form looks like it might assume responses are from individuals.

Is there really no PDF? EDIT: Ok, I can print to PDF, but strange to have no direct download link.

ha. good spot.

Would not be suprised if this was AI generated.

The 'doctor' guy is a chiropractor who also does holistic therapies: https://atlashealthmethod.com/about-us/

It says treatment plan, which is probably a mix of all sorts of medications/supplements/health + diet advice, similar to what they've always done at the Stanford Clinic.

Philanthropic spiel and American enthusiasm is a deadly combination for our language.

There was only one published, I believe. I suspect there was something going on behind the scenes RE MEAction response, possibly involving the paper's authors, and they curbed publishing responses. But the other responses should now be published.

Or vice-versa.

Not medical advice, of course. Just how I see it, and how I think doctors see it. @Jonathan Edwards might be able to help.

My experience with blood tests is that being slightly out of range is generally not (considered) significant and doctors are really looking for large departures from the reference range. They won't care about 5–10% out, but they will if you're 30, 40, 50% out.
