(We have a members only thread on magnesium deficiency here) I know a lot of members take magnesium, and there does look to be good evidence for magnesium deficiency being fairly common, and credible support for orally administered magnesium being useful for things like muscle spasms, and...

There's a lot of this as a 'get out of jail free' card too. Maybe it should be asked how long 'over time' reasonably will be, and what people with ME/CFS with no access to safe services in the meantime should do.

That is the Transgenerational Violence. what a terrible term

Yes, I don't think Perrin is the problem here, or at least not the biggest one. It's the journal, and the people behind the journal, who are subverting science. Here's another one of the papers coauthored by Adrian Heald: There are no conflicts of interest declared. Actiste is a system of...

Thank you @Samuel. :hug:

This isn't science. This is an advertisement. Yes, the authors acknowledge that the study is uncontrolled and that it's exploratory, but that isn't enough. A study like this shouldn't be published because its flaws make it worthless. So, what is this journal doing? I can't see a way to...

So, Perrin™ practitioners (who make a living providing this therapy) mailed in anonymised patient data? What could possibly go wrong?

If any of us should ever feel despondent at the limited impact we have made on the world, we can think of Angel Garma, and console ourselves with the knowledge that our life's work did not consist of producing and promoting fantastical drivel that harmed many people.

:rofl: The summary is indeed quite something. The things humans are able to believe, and convince others of, continues to surprise me.

This pdf is what comes up when I google Nottingham ME/CFS service: https://picsnhs.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/PICS-Community-CFS-ME-leaflet.pdf It's titled 'Community Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME Pathway' and has a pics label. CFS/ME is mostly fatigue There are treatment options A...

It looks like the service has recently invested further in the idea of exercise being part of the rehabilitation of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Their team to deal with CFS seems to consist largely of physios, occupational therapists, rehabilitation exercise practitioners and pain clinicians. So...

Thanks Indeed, and yet Cochrane seems to embrace the term. I note that Cochrane reinterpreted the 2014 MUPS report in 2019 with a Cochrane Clinical Answers entry This Clinical Answer removes much of the uncertainty expressed in the 2014 review, making psychological therapies sound more...

I've been working my way through hundreds of threads about psychosomatic medicine as part of the forum re-organisation and it's quite depressing. It has been clear for years that the treatments based on that paradigm don't work , certainly not for ME/CFS, but also for all manner of other...

This Cochrane review from 2014 posted by @SlySaint is worth reviewing in the context of the long promised new Cochrane review of exercise therapy for ME/CFS. The 2014 review is about MUPS It would be very interesting to know what the current Cochrane Exercise Review for ME/CFS team's stance...

That's two randomised controlled trials. But, unblinded with subjective outcomes.

An Open-Label, Pilot Trial of HRG80™ Red Ginseng in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and Post-Viral Fatigue, 2021, Teitelbaum and Goudie This recent study found great results for a special type of trademarked ginseng with "high levels of rare ginsenosides". But, it was open label with...

We have a thread on ginseng Ginseng']here[/URL].

These are the two studies included in the review by Yang et al mentioned above. We have a thread on another fairly recent study, this on Korean red ginseng, which it claims has a higher content of 'anti-fatigue substance'. Efficacy of Korean red ginseng (Panax ginseng) for middle-aged and...

We have a treatment thread on Ginseng here: Ginseng
