    OMF to launch clinical trials on Mestinon & Kynurenine, post-COVID19 study

    So many patients do not tolerate Mestinon. And the drug did not really help. This drug has been tried on patients decades ago by many CFS doctors in the USA. PS. Is there anyone here who has been helped by this drug?

    Here's a symptom we haven't see too often: this was just published here in Canada. https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/pediatricians-warned-about-covid-toes-in-children-infected-with-covid-19-1.4913770 (Actually, what I find interesting is that our family member had toes like this for...

    Question: Coronavirus & home sewn masks?

    Very interesting. I made a mask that goes right to the ear and that way there is no gap whatsoever. There are also the masks that go around to the back of the head. I always found surgical masks 'floopy and airy.'

    Question: Coronavirus & home sewn masks?

    Here's another question: are the surgical masks treated with something? If yes, then, obviously we don't have that ingredient at home. But if they are just made of a special material, then perhaps they can be resurrected. Of course, as Dr Edwards mentioned earlier, the issue of efficacy comes...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    Here is an article from La Presse that summarises Legault's thoughts and plans. Basically, he wants the herd immunity to take place over the summer and the economy to open up step by step. How many people are going to be sacrificed I have to ask...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    My thought exactly Invisible! Here there is a term going around: "boomer remover". But in fact, it is the war time generation which is really being decimated, folks born in the 1920s. What is happening here in the old age homes is a real humanitarian crises. Workers have abandoned these...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    Oh golly gosh as they say in the USA! 9000 plus health care workers have already walked off the job, for various reasons, Legault said today. He has asked Prime Minister Trudeau to send in the army! Trudeau said he would help, but stated it is not the army's place to substitute for health care...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    I just listened to Quebec's Prime Minister Legault's daily press conference. He has just announced they will be trying the option of herd immunity. He said there won't be a vaccine for 2 years perhaps, and folks can't just wait that long. There are areas of Quebec which have no cases...

    Question: Coronavirus & home sewn masks?

    Here's a question: I have a few of the surgical masks. A few weeks ago, a social worker I know told me these are only good for 4 hours and then should be tossed. This morning I washed a number in very hot water and soap and they are now air drying. I actually wear a surgical mask, and then on...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    I guess many of you on the other side of the Atlantic must have heard that tiny traces of the Virus were found in the water system in Paris. Paris, has two water provision systems, one for drinking water and the other for washing streets, watering greenery, etc. The virus was found in this...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    jUst this morning I heard on our local Montreal news, that if we consider Quebec a country (and it does operate more or less like an independent state) then we rank 4th worst in the world: starting with Spain, Italy and the USA--Quebec is next in line. One of the lead doctors at the local...

    Potential role of microbiome in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), 2020, Lupo

    the dates are 2018-2019 on the above document, so it is not very recent. But their conclusion that ME may be autoimmune comes from this sentence: "these results add new information and support the autoimmune hypothesis for CFS/ME condition in that in this study the intestinal microbial profile...

    A nanoelectronics-blood-based diagnostic biomarker for ME/CFS (2019) Esfandyarpour, Davis et al

    Thanks Wigglethemouse. So, basically, the late January news is all we can be accurately sure of at this point. Is this correct? Or perhaps there is more news and we don't really know.....I'm surprised that if NIH didn't grant cash that we would not have heard...this sort of news usually get...

    The biology of coronavirus COVID-19 - including research and treatments

    Dear Barry, so very sorry; I am a subscriber of a number of newspapers, and I completely forgot that one might need to be subscribed. Very sorry. I just don't know how to get the video to you. But the doctor basically shows the Cat scan and points out that the virus lodges in many places, not...

    Laura Hillenbrand 2020 —Her MECFS has improved and she has Covid-19

    She was dreadfully sick during her first marriage, and basically lived in the bedroom, and suffering terrible vertigo--from what I read. However, I also read that initially during the 2000s she did not seek help. But from what I read, not sure where--could have been on Cort's blog, that she...
