Well it does sound tasty. It's hard to go wrong with lamb!

Shepherd’s pie sounds delicious, but we’re not shepherds anymore. It has a pie crust, right? If so, I’d put that to not more than four times per year if you’re serious about battling this condition. OK that sounds harsh when I read it back to myself, but what I mean is not “oh, you lazy...

I would not attach much weight to any single study in medicine, especially regarding nutrition.

It's not just you. I had roughly similar issues. A few years ago I partly turned it around by being very strict with food intake, using a notebook to record every bite (yeah, it's a pain). It's not easy, there were times of getting burned out on it and regaining, but I've at least steered away...

My 2c is that the primary thing going on is enforced lack of exercise. Our body was built to move, and when it's unmoving for too long it degenerates. I've seen it dramatically in myself, it's ... it's whatever the word is for something that makes "depressing" seem like a fluffy kitten. There...

Huh. The UK is definitely different than the US. IMO, Right and Left don't really have fixed meanings, beyond clothing, hairstyle and preferred vehicle type. Even then, I've known Republicans (USA) who rode a bicycle to work, and the rock band KISS is actually rather conservative in private...

No need for an apology. If the Thought Police show up, spray them with Brain Fog.

""People that are not me have concerns that I don't care for. Therefore their concerns are silly..." This is in no way my intent, and I do not want to project that message. What part of my comment gives you that impression?

Yes, I agree that qualities outside biology do have relevance, but there is a risk in giving them too much attention. For example, men are under-diagnosed, having had exactly that experience myself I can attest to it. Until recently or even continuing up to now, it's likely that there is under...

Thanks for the feedback. I guessed my post would rub some the wrong way, but it looks like the science-based people here understand. Gravity works the same for all 42 genders, all 5 points of the compass and for each rigidly defined social class. Edit: Removing a a bit of humor that some did...

I can't imagine why a mitochondrion, a cell, an artery or a nerve care about what amount of melanin one has in their skin. That they could possibly care about what political identity group the mammal they compose claims membership in is a bit more of a stretch. Those categories are political...

Yes someone who was pushing it at the other site. I remember that thread and debating whether to get involved. It seemed like a whack head against wall type of exercise, the individual promoting it as a remedy for autism insisted that it was not bleach. At that point I figured it was useless...

But very profitable. The site owner made their fortune originally be designing email spam software.

Yeah, maybe it's the social media influence. Whenever I hear someone speaking about medicine quote Hippocrates, I hear ducks in the background ... Trying to be polite here. // he may be doing valuable research but has been influenced a touch by the 360 assault of pop culture. My response to...

Merged thread This must have been posted elsewhere, but I didn't see it. The NIH (USA gov't agency which directs most health research in the country) has two days of presentations on the topic, Thursday (tomorrow) and Friday 4/4 and 4/5, to be available via streaming video cast. I'm not aware...

Why would anyone who is genuinely attempting to research this disease use Fukuda?

If one starts in London and keeps going West, he will end in China. We know that no further travel is possible, as it is at the bottom of a hole dug to China. China is thus the Westest of all West.

It's the NY Times. Think 'intellectual substance of the Weekly World News, neuroticism of an Upper East Side New Yorker, both covered in a suffoctating cape of smug'. NYT's audience are the same people you saw in the college cheating headlines, plus the professors at the colleges involved...

"My first sign I have overdone things is a sore throat and swollen glands." We're a motley group. I've never had that after doing overdoing thing. I do get various other fun effects. "stupid idea we have an illness of fatigue thanks to CFS" The KGB could not have come up with a better...

How many other conditions have PEM, where day after is typically worse than day of, with day 3 showing further decline in the full condition? Complication is that there are vague definitions of 'exertion'. For me, attempting to do normal activities without breaks lying flat in a quiet spot is...
