I think two factors contribute to the reluctance of classifying it as CFS. First, many guidelines require a minimum period after symptom onset (typically 6 months) until a diagnosis can be made. Second, some medical circles have not even accepted CFS as a diagnosis and still consider it a...

Calcium signaling is also the mediator for Tachycardia in ME patients, am I mistaken?

Another interview with two well-known doctors sharing their medical opinions on the Ivermectin data at the time. Meanwhile, we are at 44 studies on Ivermectin, 28 of which consistently showing the effectiveness of it with COVID-19, 17 of which are already peer-reviewed, 10 of which are RCTs...

Very interesting hypothesis indeed, especially for the hypothesis of ME as a latent pathogen disease. Extending this idea in the context of SARS-CoV-2, this paper hasn't been referenced in this survey. The key role of Warburg effect in SARS-CoV-2 replication and associated inflammatory...

Abstract This is a significant finding not only on the Alzheimer's front. Previously, the exact role of the immune system in early-onset Alzheimer's was unclear. Early-onset Alzheimer's is one of the diseases also showing overlaps with CFS/ME. This is one of the reasons why a differential...

Presumably, B lymphocytes would become the latent reservoir of SARS-CoV-2. Similar to EBV, SARS-CoV-2 has an immune suppression phase (10.1038/s41467-020-19706-9). This is the reason why B lymphocytes wouldn't be affected while other mediators of the immune system decline. Both viruses interfere...

I'm not talking about consensus on the matter. I only mean a theory to become accepted as a possibility and not generally ignored with vague and recursive arguments. Consensus finding is a completely scientific process. But the ignorance and defensive attitude from the establishment is simply...

Sorry. I was just a bit cynical because we have like 50 different vaccines in pipelines when treatment options still aren't really debated with the same urgency when some countries have to triage patients again. Vaccines will not help the patients of this winter season. Just because there is no...

Does it really matter if the groups overlap? If you are a doctor and a patient, you also look for explanations. At this time, the social dynamic was quite different. Doctors were not to be questioned. It was a question of etiquette. If you are a psychiatrist and a patient, how can you explain it...

The real question is: Who was affected by the epidemic hysteria? The patients or the doctors? I guess the doctors were afraid of not having an easy explanation.

Now as we have vaccines, let's start to research the disease. Are they still using Internet Explorer?

I can not really agree with a generalizing argument that puts a therapeutic agent into a "sort of this" group unless they show similar means of action. But this isn't the frequent argument I read online in the press. The frequent argument is that it is a parasitic drug and how can you even...

Sorry for the confusion. I'm not very clear-headed today. The NIH was asked to review the data. They do not directly delegate peer-review but they act as a leading figure in the system, which means that they can delegate funds, adjust guidelines, and make advising statements regarding the...

@Tera Green This was mentioned in the YouTube comments of your referenced video. I can't find the comment anymore; it must have been removed. But I think is now more relevant than when it was filmed, not only in the context of Ivermectin and COVID-19 but also for CFS. CFS is a condition no...

I brought this up not because I believe that blood spot testing can become a thing if optical processing becomes more precise. This is about the current size of automated laboratories. You can't put them into a space capsule or a smart home at the moment. It has to become more compact and the...

@Snow Leopard I appreciate your comment and I agree with most parts. Allow me to add some points though. If there were sufficient practitioners at the moment, I would agree. But at least in Germany, there is a lack of medicine graduates due to absurd enrollment requirements. There will still...

It isn't much different in German cities if you already have an older rental agreement. If you want a new one, however, it might well be over 1000 €. Consider this when looking at the charts, it's only that "low" because of existing rental agreements. But there are legal loopholes when it comes...

Initially, I intended to write this as a response in another post, but I think it deserves its own post now. These thoughts have followed me for quite some time. I'd be interested in reading what your view on this is. I often bring this up because I can't concur with this kind of logic as I...

I imagine that there is also a great number of people with mild CFS who never get diagnosed or who aren't aware of it. The cases who can manage it somehow and try to compensate for it by lifestyle change simply because they believe that they aren't physically fit enough anymore. They would do...

It's not much different in Germany. If you haven't insured yourself when you were healthy, any chronically ill or disabled person will be treated like people who were never willing to educate themselves or work. This means you first have to spend your savings, if you own property or a car that...
