Few things in this world need tearing down more than the parasitic and corrupting for-profit peer-review journals.

Which, presumably, is why they pushed Peter Gøtzsche out, as his work on stuff like placebo effect sizes and problems with unblinded subjective outcomes was exposing them and their sub-standard methods and bogus claims.

Results Of the 704 patients analyzed, 71.9% were female with a median age of 54 years (IQR: 45–64). Cardio-LC patients had statistically significant differences relative to the non-LC group in terms of blood pressure, elevated LDL cholesterol (p = 0.010), and non-HDL cholesterol (p = 0.013). In...

Fucking savages. :mad:

Any time somebody in authority uses the word 'feel' they are avoiding responsibility.

I smell a Streisand effect coming on.

Yes, interesting double standard: Subjective self-report from patients is adequate to claim therapeutic benefit, including in the absence of support from objective measures, while also being insufficient to warn of harm, even though harms require a much lower threshold to trigger concern. Maybe...

And power.

It has to be deliberate at this stage.

The LISTEN trial illustrates the need and value of further research in to personalised treatments delivered by a multidisciplinary team in community settings and people's homes. It does no such thing, you liars. Just in case anybody doesn't know, in the south of the USA, at least, that is an...

That one is above my pay grade. :bucktooth:

You must be new to this game.

Exercise led to consumption of lipids in ME/CFS and controls while metabolites were consumed in ME/CFS but generated in controls. Interesting, if it holds up.

One serious indicator of a failing state is their inability to train up, and retain, their own citizens for technical positions in particular. The same problem is happening here is Australia. The health system is being flooded by people from overseas. Not just the health system, all sorts of...

Even more. Because it is so much more unfalsifiable, and hence much harder to refute. Psychologisers have an endless supply of arbitrary re-framings to play whack-a-mole and use to hang onto their power. The software/hardware analogy simply does not apply to wetware (biology). They are...

Yes, he was not consistent.

The golden age of psycho-tyranny has begun.

The phenomenon of over training in otherwise healthy people strongly suggests to me that ME/CFS patients are dealing with unrelenting pathological physical demands that produce results which have a lot in common with extreme over training. The difference being that the cause of over training is...

Or, there is simply a sampling/reporting bias in those who persist in trying to figure out what the problem is, as opposed to those who, for whatever reason, do not and just try to survive it all. He got this very critical point right.

Reaching into the memory banks on this one, but I think that protective effect applies mainly to females, less so for males.
