I opened this thread due to my question here: https://www.s4me.info/index.php?threads/what-biomedical-research-progress-in-the-past-18-months.741/#post-13549 What happened to the retroviral research line, like e.g. by Mikovits and DeFreitas? The findings seemed contradictory to me (some found...

Okay. I will copy your answers into the new thread, ok?

It depends on the country.

Hi @Maria1 I take melatonin 5mg (retard) for several years now. It helped me with my sleep. My information was it's a very good anti-oxidant, too. The serotonin metabolism might be affected since melatonin is converted into serotonin and vice versa (under usage of other substances). At least...

I don't know if this question fits here, if not, may I ask to move it? What happened to the retroviral research line, like e.g. by Mikovits and DeFreitas? The findings seemed contradictory to me (some found something, some didn't). Why was it definitely concluded this is the wrong direction?

That's a very interesting aspect!

Honestly, it would be just wonderful: positive thoughts and - ca-ching! Then I'm rich, healthy, beautiful and...whatever... ..although I would be very happy about the health alone... And honestly, I tried these things in the past. I was a short time into "positive thinking". I also tried...

Thanks, @Trish, for your effort! That's very informative.

Today I saw a talk by a psychologist and psychotherapist about problems he faces with neoliberal values in his every day work. He critisizes those values because they create several problems in people, e.g. with their identity. Erich Fromm said it provocatively: "The normal are the sick, and...

I heard the argument "ME will destroy the health system due to its horrendous costs" very often. I can only speak for the country I live in. I haven't (yet) tried to get a calculation about ME costs (I wanted to do that and compare it with Cancer, Aids, e.g.). It would be interesting. Yet, my...

Everything is perfect, all are happy. Of course I'm a conspiracy theorist. :) That one was good! :laugh: But in a way that's happening. Here, experts are called "conspiracy theorists" when they say critical things.

Ah, thanks @Jonathan Edwards, I may confuse her with another Ms Whittemore. So many names and people!

Honestly, I am not very good at learning from memory, I somehow look at that as some kind of skill. But if you want to invent or explore or create something, often mire is needed. Most often, I fear. Sorry, you don't mean me, right? It's "you" in the meaning of "one/someone"?

I remember "heuristic" from religion classes in school. For me it sounds like "we collected data intuitively."

I like your post very much.

I'm always astonished how easy it sometimes is to get a PhD.

@Esther, THANK YOU very much for opening an extra thread, looking deeper in this document and commenting it. For me personally, British Association for CFS/ME is absolutely lost; I'm so glad I was wised up here. Sometimes, after reading things like that, I feel very sad and wonder "do we have...

It's causing pain in my guts :sick:

I have to accompany @Trish. I really tried to laugh. I simply cannot. ...and thus are god... If this is the future...all about impression, imprinting, imagination, phantasies, illusion...and most probably about others' impressions and illusions...I may take the liberty to leave for good...
