Whatever theses researchers are, but by no means is the question in itself rhetorical, and it would be bad research to do such an implication []. If there is a sickness response mechanism (underlying sickness behaviour), then this mechanism could be ill, say after an infection. [In fact, it...

The priority comes the other way down, given that there are: sudden onsets after physiological impacts outbreaks some genetical predisposition as suggested by twin studies It might be a big mistake to assume that there must be something which is by no any means linked to any any mental thing...

I once have read the 1975 article by Ader and Cohen. In a later article from the 90´s, I believe, they sounded dangerously optimistic, but back in 1975 they explicitly said that their conclusions have been drawn from healthy animals, obviously indicating that one must not mix things up. Sadly...

A friend of mine recently told me about his own experiences, he actually had gotten a surgery (I indeed remembered it then). He told me that his associated pain only would have gone after the situation he had trouble with had resolved. The main problem in general - and in ME/CFS in special -...

One could be the cause of the other, e.g. The cell danger response could be downstream of the affected ("sensitized") brain area. I personally am a fan of this approach, though one must be precise in all uncertain possibilties. I agree e.g. with @Michiel Tack and his thread on this that it...

I haven´t read the article, but this is nonsense in itself. Pain isn´t something that is perceived but IS a perception. You do not perceive pain by something (whatever this is thought to be), instead you perceive your BODY by e.g. PAIN. This does not exclude of course that any perception can...

Mentally mankind is not up to date. For now I fear it will take a couple of centuries to deal spiritually with new technical possibilities, let alone the it is even not clear if we are going to deal successfully with the technical consequences that arise from advanced technical possibiliites...

Thinking positive - only 200 years ago the half of the people had died by being 50 years old, today considered to be young. And this even counts only these ones who hadn´t died until their 10th birthday, which had been a very lot. (Facts by memory, so can´t provide a source, I think it was an...

I think there is intentional ambiguity to hide that they essentially failed, and now they want to hold as much as possible to the former approach, for being justified in their existence.

I think an important difference between depression and ME/CFS is, that feeling depressed is a completely normal experience, and everybody can sufficiently understand how it feels (perhaps not the exaggeration). This does neither say that depression is not developing upon physiological...

The study may turn out to be very interesting at some point - not meant to be a joke (for the selfcontradiction). So far an interesting question would arise: what would be able to explain: a greater burden in baseline but not experiencing as much a worsening of symptoms after exertion...

I think it´s not tied down to an infectious disease. Even if it is (in its perpetuation) not an infectious disease they might feel unpleasant to admit that they don´t have any clue. The situation is even more uncertain. Probabaly the main approach should be to begin at, so to say, zero...

Laughing for the sake of laughing (if it doesn´t reach too far). You are somewhat right, I think, and it isn´t going be helpful to hide any possible informations, or to restrict any discussion. But todays world can´t be seen as the last word in the development of human life. We are even away...

A primary one should have been ruled out now, cf some recent findings which are gathered here: https://forums.phoenixrising.me/threads/mitochondra-in-me-cfs.78406/ I don´t know if it is right to say "secondary mt-disorder" when mitochondria are affected downstream from something, but only this...
