Those are not on the same level of scientific validity, but the idea that it's possible to fix any problem that is a complete mystery makes exactly as much sense as trying to cure AIDS without knowing about viruses, let alone that a particular virus causes it. The whole premise here is absurd...

Ugh. Even if it's to provide balance it's not a good idea. Quacks should never be enabled, this is how they gain ground. This has been known for a long time. Whether it's flat-earth or QAnon, taking quacks seriously only strengthens them and no one who is interested in that debate will care...

How this ridiculous Goop-level nonsense is not laughed out of every room that doesn't reek of essential oils is beyond me. Medical authorities who participate in this charade are beclowning themselves completely. Something to warn the post-COVID community, if anyone is involved in of those...

It's annoying to still see the trope of "this illness used to be stigmatized" going on. It's technically true that it used to be discriminated. It still is, but it used to be, too. But the far more important point is that it currently is 100% discriminated against. Nothing has changed. The state...

Like the YourCovidRecovery site that recommends GET but says "at your own risk". I have no idea how that's acceptable. Because it isn't. It literally isn't acceptable, and yet here we are.

Sometimes the cover image doesn't work on twitter. Is the link still working?

It definitely seems like whitewashing. This is not a serious response, especially given Horton himself loudly claiming about there being so much research misconduct, just not at his journal, even though he has a personal history of it. A repeat offender. Who somehow never faces accountability...

Study sheds light on coronavirus ‘long-haulers,’ but experts still lack clear picture https://globalnews.ca/news/7335744/coronavirus-long-hauler-study/ Generic coverage, not very informed. Canada has been doing especially poorly in terms of reporting, always presented as BRAND NEW!. That...

But. You do nothing about the current patients. Literally. In fact you refuse and reject the premise that there is anything to do. The RCGP has been abused as a weapon against the ME community, largely thanks to the rotten influence of Gerada and Wessely. Yet it would be 'dreadful' if a small...

Maybe worth watching: a conversation with Dr Fauci. Questions can be sent. Maybe S4ME can come up with some questions and send them? Maybe do a thread and try to come up with 1-2 questions to send? If only I had cooperating brain cells, but there's time...

Increasingly becoming a problem: Predictable but still :banghead:. There's negative tests but also many who tried but could not find a test, were assured it was not necessary because 2 weeks and not at risk and bla bla bla. "No need to take a test, it won't change your care" "Well you...

Honestly this needs more thought. Come on, brain! The very process of evidence-based medicine tries to identify meaningful differences to single symptoms on an "all other things being equal" basis. That if it's possible to measure a meaningful difference on one symptom than it should be...

That's probably a very important part. It's one thing to have one bothersome symptom, or even a disabling one. But when you add up so many, along with a few that are impossible to simply ignore, it adds up to significantly more than enduring them one at a time in a serial manner. It becomes a...

We're still stuck by the rejection to simply call this "sick", of insisting to further describe it, "what do you mean by sick?" Which basically amounts to "what do you mean by red?" It's its own concept. There is no sub-division to sickness. There are layers, sure, but it's its own thing. Yet...

Yup. That's a Catch-22 on top of the damn Catch-22 of the disease itself. It's Catch-22's all the way down!

Skimming through and this is good. As an intro work. This is some of the basic work that should have been done decades ago. More of this is badly needed, although similar research has been done previously. It was not specifically on PEM, this 2010 report from the Quebec government features much...
