Interesting thanks. @Michiel Tack

Assume this was blood glutathione; unfortunately testing the levels of glutathione in the brain isn't readily available (MRI/MRS).

If you consider Chris Armstrong's work on amino acids, and glucose, in blood (coincidentally he used the same technique i.e. MRS). Chris found low levels of certain types of amino acids and high levels of glucose. Basically indicating that people with ME utilised these amino acids for energy...

I hadn't picked that up i.e. "very bad reactions to NAC". I recall that this group demonstrated low levels of "(GSH) glutathione, an antioxidant capacity and redox state marker", i.e. in the brains of people with ME. Glutathione levels, in the brain, can be measured using MRI/MRS; you can't...

Possibly some of these points have been addressed/are not relevant to this discussion --- haven't read the other posts! A personal thought is that monitoring activity/ability to walk X metres---, and finding low activity/low functionality, will presumably be open to challenge i.e. on the...

Is there a "new" form of the virus circulating i.e. which is more contagious but less likely to kill you? Heard some media reports - second hand ---- might check unofficial Sage for an update.

@Grigor I think this is a very interesting suggestion by @Jonathan Edwards i.e. instead of having a separate (psycological) specialist why not use those with a medical background, and knowledge of the disease (ME), and get them to "counsel" those they treat. I assume that James Coyne had...
