I suspect that food irradiation has something to do with declining gut bacteria diversity. I was surprised at how long the history of food irradiation has been - it was first patented in 1905. https://ccr.ucdavis.edu/food-irradiation/history-food-irradiation...

You don't need a Kindle to read books in Kindle format. There is a free Kindle App supplied by Amazon for iOS, Android, Mac and PC - just download and install whichever one is relevant to you. You can then read anything that is sold for the Kindle. https://www.amazon.co.uk/kindle-dbs/fd/kcp I...

Are you describing the latest version of Supermarket Sweep? Source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale%27s_Supermarket_Sweep

:rofl::rofl::rofl: I'd much rather have the NHS than the monarchy! The purpose of National Insurance in the UK has been changed several times over the years and has now become, effectively, just another source of income for the treasury. According to Wikipedia it provides 21.5% of the total...

For the deafies amongst us I wish radio could come up with some technology that allowed subtitles. :( Radio is something that I can make almost no use of at all.

This link from post 1 : http://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140-6736(17)32802-7.pdf has info on all the contributors at the beginning, and some declarations of conflicts of interest at the end, that may be helpful.

I would have qualified for that diagnosis a few years ago, I suspect. I cured the problem by going gluten-free.

@Mithriel The problem you describe when taking metoclopramide could be one of the following - extrapyramidal symptoms, akathisia, or tardive dyskinesia I hope you didn't take it for long, because if the problem is allowed to continue it can become permanent even if the cause is removed. I only...

It's always a mistake for me to try and pretend I know what I'm talking about. ;)

Thanks, @Allele . :)

@Allele What dose of PEA do you use? And do you split dose? I've never heard of this stuff before, so I'm intrigued and may research it when I have the energy. A quick check on Google and Amazon suggests it may be too expensive for me, whatever its benefits. Edit : I found a version of this...

I have a question about the code or codes that are put on patients' records when they are diagnosed with one or more of the various things that are, underneath it all, considered to be MUS e.g. Bodily Distress Disorder or Somatic Symptom Disorder or Medically Unexplained Symptoms or any of the...

:rofl::rofl::rofl: I really wish that were true. I bought a complete set of my GP notes and they were dreadful! I had notes from other people mixed in with mine. Operation results, letters and notes were not summarised so they effectively ceased to exist as far as doctors were concerned so they...

@Sly Saint Your posts about this subject are terrifying. I've never thought of the UK as being a place where there are a group of people called "The Disappeared" but it would appear that systems are being put in place to allow such a group to be created.

That is the way that people with a knighthood have always been referred to. They are never Sir Wessely or Sir Smith or Sir Some Other Surname. They are always Sir "their first name". I think the same is true of women with the female equivalent of a knighthood (a damehood?) E.g. Lady Helen rather...

I think I have either too little dopamine or too few dopamine receptors in my brain, but I have no idea how I could prove which of those is true, or even if my understanding is correct. If you've had serotonin syndrome, then ignore my suggestion about 5-HTP!

Metoclopramide aka Maxalon is a dopamine antagonist, which blocks dopamine receptors. A dopamine agonist activates dopamine receptors. They have opposite functions. :) Being allergic to most antibiotics must be an absolute nightmare! If a serotonin agonist caused jerking limbs after you...

One thing I have discovered over the last few years is that my own lifelong severe depression (now gone) was mainly caused by less than optimal nutrient levels and by thyroid hormone levels that were too low. But I've never seen any suggestions from psychiatrists that nutrients should be...

What a load of utter bollocks. And people like Shorter are the type of people who determine the quality of life of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people around the globe. :mad: Admin - please delete if necessary.

I was prescribed erythromycin (an antibiotic) for a skin infection. To my surprise it helped both the skin infection and (temporarily) helped a totally unrelated, extremely painful, long-term pain problem I have that doctors assume is gut-related. In reality they have no idea what the actual...
