The little I know is that lightning process is a money maker cooked up by Phil parker. So “live landmark” is somebody’s legal name? It Sounds like something out of an indy horror movie, the front company owned by organ harvesting zombies.

Live landmark, is that related to the landmark self improvement cult?

Well to be honest I made a sort of hit-and-run general post about the DM. I did not even read the original article. Sooooo maybe that was poor taste on my part

That’s the daily fail; even more than a typical newspaper they are guaranteed to be wrong on any technical scientific mechanical electrical or biological subject. Maybe they get recipes and crosswords OK. Edit: this was more of a rant then thoughtful comment. I haven’t had the time or energy...

If free range meat, what quantity do you need to eat? I have to cut waaay back on the amount I eat, which doesn't leave much room for said meat. Would meat that's sold (well, if the seller is truthful) as grass-fed, grass finished qualify as free range?

This is probably explain somewhere with in this thread, But can someone explain how I can ensure adequate vitamin K2 levels? Do I simply eat or take the appropriate precursor, or must I take some special extraordinary unusual form if vit K?

There’s a nice takedown of TCM on another blog, named respectful insolence. It’s not a recent post, you may have to use the search function for it.

@alicec So, in brain fog digestible terms, that adds up to “Eat more vegetables”?

Yeah, when I’m in severe brain fog I often get scrawly handwriting at the same time. Not always though, it seems the brain fog comes first, and then as a crash progresses things like handwriting go out.

Yeah I just lost whatever appetite I had, my stomach is still rumbling with hunger while also queasy with revulsion. .

When we make the glorious omelette, no one will remember a few eggs.

This seems to be a general pattern across many areas of culture in the West. It’s not neatly related to our disease or to medicine in general. I don’t understand quite what’s going on, it feels like a family business when the founder’s airhead but inheriting grandchildren take over.

Perhaps this is why being away from my apartment seems to lead to a crash. Edit: There was not a place to lie down right there, it was some amount of time, noise, standing & etc. away. I Did an ‘easy’ errand on Friday, that burned the fuse too far. I’ve slept over 12 hours so far since last...

It’s confusing. I’ve had different results at different times. One episode of sleep hygiene and limiting sleep to 7 1/2 hours overnight, then going to bed the next night as early as I was tired worked, that’s when it was pretty early on in the disease. At other times sleeping as much as...

The case of Howard Bloom is interesting, he had the full disease, bedbound, couldn’t handle light or noise etc, and now he is functioning normally other than having to sleep in two shifts plus taking about two dozen supplements and several injections. Recovery took 12 years. Anecdotally, in my...

@keela I don’t know how you manage to compose such a coherent and balanced push back to the media circus while dealing with mecfs. Thanks for doing that, it’s something many of us cannot

hm. Is our body temp running a bit low? Could a mild fever (increase in body temp) compensate for that? Of course there's much more going on with an infection & response than fever. Immune something-something, inflammation one type vs another type. ???

@Mithriel Thanks for posting that. It’s what I was thinking and don’t have the cognitive stamina to compose.

“Most people in the comfy western rich nations would think 20 mins in The gym 3 times a week is hard exercise.” Sure, if the gym has an average age of at least 80 years. I’ve never known a fitness oriented individual who considers 20 minutes anything more than a warm-up, unless it’s 20 minutes...

Yes, and different people are going to have different amounts of crash. If you’re out in the woods and don’t leave the house and don’t have kids and are not across the street from the elementary school, then you’re probably not going to get the flu anyways. I’m going to get it ASAP, but...
