I didn't put this in the ME/CFS forum because their definition of CFS is just high fatigue:

Peripheral Levels of Selected Biomarkers in Patients with Post-Sarcoidosis Chronic Fatigue Syndrome [Line breaks added] Introduction Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized by persistent fatigue and multiple symptoms such as cognitive impairment and muscle pain, often linked to...

Subjective outcomes and no placebo. Speculation on why it would work: On why they think these don't resemble placebo effects: Primary outcomes: Secondary outcomes were individual symptoms. The ones furthest to the left had the largest improvements: Edit: Removed misinterpretation...

Is it this: I think in figure 1 it says the test cohort has 3,579 cases and 113,735 controls.

I think she might have missed that sensitivity check in the paper. Here's someone asking her if the peer reviewed version of the study checking other years allays her concerns (her post was about the preprint). Response: The same sensitivity check the person asked about was in the preprint...

If eligibility for school was the reason for having more or less dementia, then you'd expect to see the same effect in other years, right? Instead of splitting the groups by being born before or after September 2, 1933, what if you split groups by being born before or after September 2, 1932...

That's the thing. Selection bias doesn't really matter here. Simple way to imagine it: there's a room of people. They all randomly decided to wear a red or blue shirt that morning (akin to being born before or after the cutoff date in the actual study). Someone walks in and says "people...

Are you referring to the new study linked in another thread? It's basically the same methodology as this thread's study, but instead of looking at dementia diagnoses, they looked at two other metrics: diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment and death from dementia. So something like a...

It says: A person named Harry Lei on the first site. The second link doesn't work, but I found this page for a Harry Lei in that organization, and the photo looks like the person on the Github page. I think it's a real person. Maybe they use AI to write lots of replies.

A webpage for the above person: https://zlei2269.github.io/ Authors of another paper replying that a comment from Zhihao Lei basically doesn't make sense: https://www.europeanurology.com/article/S0302-2838(25)04679-2/abstract Edit: fixed link

Unfortunately, that's the kind of evidence that's needed for a medical treatment. You keep saying this, but it's not evidence. It's just a person making an incredible claim. Anyone can come on the forum and say that they know of large numbers of people cured by a treatment. Even if you're...

It just doesn't seem plausible to me that a treatment that works so well would not have strong published evidence by now. Have not similar things been touted as a treatment for decades? Where are the trials showing these remarkable results? Or is it that they only just recently come up with the...

I think it's meant to double check that it's really vitamin D. They saw the association when combined, but weren't really sure if it might be only due to nutritional vitamin D or only due to supplemental D. If the association holds no matter what the source, that adds some confidence that it's...
