    Hypothesis piece by Amy Proal, a microbiologist with ME/CFS

    Also Dannybex: do you really think an article written by Dr. Mercola is the best way to educate people about my work? Dr. Mercola had a personal problem with our research from day #1 because he is funded by vitamin D supplement companies and the indoor tanning industry. And since we argue...

    Hypothesis piece by Amy Proal, a microbiologist with ME/CFS

    Thanks Hip! Most of what you say about the treatment and the science behind it here is accurate, and I really appreciate you taking the time to explain this calmly! But yes to clarify: we absolutely think that persistent viruses can play a role in ME/CFS, and in fact, viruses are some of the...

    Hypothesis piece by Amy Proal, a microbiologist with ME/CFS

    I have to say, I did not expect to post on this board in good faith...and then be practically criminalized with claims that are untrue and unfair. There is no "conspiracy" here as implied. If you look at my latest paper on ME/CFS my affiliation is clearly listed as Autoimmunity Research...

    Hypothesis piece by Amy Proal, a microbiologist with ME/CFS

    Perrier hey, I didn't mean to confuse you about adenosine signaling issues. That is not a topic I'm familiar with and hopefully Jonathan can answer you more there. But as long as you brought up Alzheimer's etc I thought I'd chime in with some thoughts and research updates. You are very right...

    Hypothesis piece by Amy Proal, a microbiologist with ME/CFS

    Perrier hi, There is a growing overlap between ME/CFS and Alzheimer's/Parkinson's/Schizophrenia. A key factor linking the conditions is growing evidence of persistent infection in various body sites, including new discoveries which suggest that pathogens in the brain itself may drive much of...

    Hypothesis piece by Amy Proal, a microbiologist with ME/CFS

    Jonathan hi, Your comments don't even make sense to me anymore (research on inflammation has changed since the 1980s). I'm going to get back to work:)

    Hypothesis piece by Amy Proal, a microbiologist with ME/CFS

    There are too many errors in this post for me to know where to start. For example, no one on the Marshall Protocol has to avoid sunlight. We we just tried to be very conscious of the fact that many patients were very sensitive to light (on both their eyes and skin). The treatment does require...

    Hypothesis piece by Amy Proal, a microbiologist with ME/CFS

    Also, my paper does not contend that colonic bacteria are good for us...try reading it again and see if you can interpret it correctly:)

    Hypothesis piece by Amy Proal, a microbiologist with ME/CFS

    Hi Jonathan, Someone referred me to this comment today. I'd like to clarify: you're suggesting that my writing a blog post about ME/CFS and persistent infection is "phoney science?" and that my work has has eroded science "to the extent of being worthless?" What a ridiculous and sad thing to...

    frontiers in Pediatrics: ME/CFS in the era of the human microbiome... Amy D. Proal et al - 2018

    Also if any of you better want to understand my background and how I got into researching infection + ME/CFS..I talk about it in this recent interview (start listening at minute 13:15)...

    frontiers in Pediatrics: ME/CFS in the era of the human microbiome... Amy D. Proal et al - 2018

    Hey! Glad some of you find my videos helpful! I'm going to record more after the holidays, because I have several key project proposals to finalize before the new year. And yes isn't it amazing how many organisms (and persistent pathogens) can persist in just the bladder alone? One thing I...

    frontiers in Pediatrics: ME/CFS in the era of the human microbiome... Amy D. Proal et al - 2018

    Milo hey - Thanks for reading the paper and for your nice comments! Vitamin D is actually a very complicated topic. But I would be happy to write about it later in a separate thread. I’ll try to see if I can do that this coming week. In the meantime, yes! My paper contends that microbiome...

    frontiers in Pediatrics: ME/CFS in the era of the human microbiome... Amy D. Proal et al - 2018

    Hey Science for ME, This is Amy, the lead author of the paper. I joined the group to post the paper and see if you guys have any feedback. I'm excited to see Kalliope already posted it! Hutan, thanks for pointing out those spelling errors. That frustrates me lot. One difficult thing about...
