The opposite would be to eliminate the virus - this will not work anymore, you would need to do the hole world quarantine for two weeks minimum. So the question is what the right speed of spreading will be, so that everybody who can be saved will be saved and the hospitals will not be...

In Japan life continues (almost) as usual, but until now there doesn´t seem to be a greater spread, presumably through their careful acting they use to do anyway. (I watched this at tv, and didn´t check any data.)

Whereas I do understand only too well any doubt in regard of psychological factors, I really don´t understand doubt in regard of neurological factors. (Any reasons?) Edwards himself seems to me a bit veering now, secretly admitting that the psychological interpretation was wrong, though better...

An additional point to blood pressure is that that pregnant women didn´t get the illness (if I remember rightly), and now, in pregnancy blood pressure is low. https://www.google.com/search? pregnancy blood pressure More relevant would be that the elevated rate of patients with cancer could be...

The link given (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/MN908947.3) is about the genome, I would think that the sort of sugar can be seen, but I - almost for sure - will be too stupid to figure out, if glucose is the sugar used in the spike. And if so, I myself nevertheless would stay skeptical of...

In animals 3% of its proteins are glycoproteins, in plants its more. The virus has many spikes, maybe and presumably the elevated number is important for its virulence. According to German Wiki an important part of the spike is a glycoprotein. So, if it would turn out that cases and deaths are...

So the main sentence is I guess as causation, so this fits pretty well with the new neutral name "functional disorder" - I think - but then there is no reason to say that "conversion disorder" "remains" under a new name, instead there is no such thing as conversion disorder anymore. Again great...

Moreover, animals are known to be a host within a symbiosis of several bacteria and maybe even fungi (?), and here as well a common behaviour may be present and could be out of a healthy balance. For the fungus candida albicans a toxin has been identified (candidalysin) which provokes an...

unbearable lightness - a saying I heard from my grandmother comes to my mind: Den een sin brood is den annern sin dood. Here it´s quite easy to translate into the English language: The one´s bread is the other one´s death. I think bad researchers really should be thankful that they have such...

Although not speaking English quite too well, I love the English language!

Speaking for myself I didn´t mean emotional - i.e. somehow complex - feelings. Begging anybodies pardon, I might have chosen the wrong word, I meant pain, breathing, sleeping, walking, concentrating, skin feeling like chewing gum, and some other things. In fact I personally was emotionally...

Good points alltogether. To answere this last objective: 1. The Sickness Behaviour could use a normal exhaustion mechanism for inducing its behaviour, this then could show up in ME (though does not show up in depression). Here one may but say, I think, that in normal sickness also a tiredness...

Yes. I think the sad problem is that there is no understanding or imagination of how "sickness behaviour" (the biomedical response) does work. And then they turn their proposal to things that are established (CBT) in hope that it might work. But in fact they are saying absolutely nothing. Or do...

But the sickness response is most likely codified by the nervous system (making a sick feeling and so forth), so I don´t understand why you are in agreement with "no". And furthermore of course, especially the nerves should be able to induce a delayed PEM, so best candidate.

Why

What you are saying - and in accordance to others here- could be the case, given the meaning of the words ("sickness" and "behaviour") - but this is not the meaning of the term nevertheless. "Sickness behaviour" is a terminus technicus which has a very specific meaning that has been...

I automatically knew that "doctor shopping" will not help, and visited only quite some of them at the beginning to rule out things and to be clear. Sadly such knowledge didn´t help in another sense 15 years later, when I couldn´t keep working (and found easily enough doctors who believed me)...

In addition, only because their interesting result is consistent with the model of "symptomatic" infection, this result would not strengthen this model anyway as the model is unlikely to explain gradual onsets (where no infection is known, and no symptoms from any infection are apparent). In my...

Maybe its caused by reduced need of actions in the brain stem? Then one might elevate the request somehow.

I would think the whole turn-over machinery of collagen is elevated, and even both could be the case. A further finding which could be a hint here is: Association of [CFS] with premature telomere attrition, Rajeevan et al 2018, though this is only on cells from blood (all cells though). A...
