In the UK it is established that poverty is not caused by a lack of money, it's caused by not working enough hours. If you can't survive on 40 hours pay then work 60 hours, if that still isn't enough then work 80, etc. So simply giving 'poor' people more money clearly isn't the answer, to the...

A bold statement. Especially coz it seems if you put 2 medics in a room you'll get 56 opinions of what LC is.

That study appears to be from 20 years ago and, again as far as I know, has not been replicated - for such a drastic size reduction (50%) I find this surprising, if the result was both valid, and considered to mean anything. If there was a condition where people had drastically reduced...

My bolding. I'm not sure there is much evidence for any of this, as stated, and I've not heard any for the bit I bolded, in fact this is the first I am hearing about it - I would have thought that, if it was true, then it could be used to easily screen out those who definitely didn't have...

How 'reassuring' :grumpy:

3 times 15g is 45g, and I did say 'extra'. Depending on who you.believe it may be as much as an extra 250kcal, so 'snack' sized in terms of calories. Compared with what many people consume, in extra protein, for health reasons, it's a fairly small amount extra. I would imagine, as the test...

Google suggest 45g of protein is an extra 2 portions of meat/fish. Given what they class as a portion I wouldn't say most people consuming an extra 45g were at risk of health issues from doing so. I'm not sure how meaningful their results are tho.

My tinnitus started when I was 17, ME onset was when i was 20, so.not connected. Of course when in PEM, or when I've overdone things so possible prePEM, the tinnitus often becomes more intrusive. No doctor has ever offered comment or help therefore I concluded many decades ago that not only is...

If patients report symptoms that are inconvenient, in terms of treatment options or belief, then torture them until they no longer report troubling symptoms, and then pronouce them cured.

I had, for a few weeks, the winix zero+ (not the pro version). I liked it, it was a perfect bedroom air purifier for running over night and made a difference to my sleep quality. I got rid of it because it wasn't very controllable. It was fine in 'sleep' mode, but on auto it was quite...

Jason et al usage of 'severe' is bizarre and will cause confusion, if not downright derision (of us when we use it to mean what we, and everyone not included in Jason et al) and dismissal - IMO. I had not seen anyone else use it in this bizarre way before he did a couple (few?) years ago, and...

There doesn't seem to be any mention of sacrificing a chicken, whilst singing opera, whilst immersed in a glacial lake :grumpy:

So Cornwall must be no longer part of England, and therefore not covered by the NICE ME guidelines? :grumpy::grumpy::banghead:

For many years after onset, long before I knew I had ME, I used Dextro tablets to get me out a hole when out and things got weird. I had discovered fairly quickly that eating, even high GI foods like chocolate, only made things worse (this was 20 years before I was diagnosed with diabetes) and...

Eating tends to decrease my ability to do things, being diabetic I do not drink fruit juices, so more of a general comment.

And the other 9 out of 10 people who have LC?

It would seem to be awfully coincidental if it wasn't connected somehow.

So, HMG thinks that many people would actively object to people in their blocks of flats not being burnt to death? Who of course, after being burnt to death, will continue paying rent, so as not to cost landlords any money. I would have thought incinerated tenants would be considered a 'bad'...

They both look pretty good compared with the NHS's offering.

Proposed method of action? Reason for research this particular product on this patient population? Presumably this was all well thought out and such simple questions can be answered. Or maybe they had a product so........went in search of a patient group they could palm it off on? 'Nice'...
