I have not proof-read the Google translation (edit: some comments in brackets now added), but at least in its original, untranslated state, the piece is not too bad:

Can't comment on that. But: An alternative interpretation would be testing (indirectly) for genetic components.

Do I interpret this correctly? Fatigued children do (usually) not have fatigued parents?

I'm returning to reading some other papers by Tamara Tuuminen. It seems to me as if the Finns have had a longstanding interest in moulds and mycotoxins. Already some 15-20 years ago, I had a sister-in-law working for a Finnish firm that made their living on investigating mould infestions in...

Certainly! The idea of "five dilemmas" is probably most of all a mode of story-telling.

This seems strange to many people! But I'm more or less the same! In the last 10 years, the only flu-like condition I've experienced was when I tried with low-dose Naltrexone. Edit: ...well... I didn't think of... PEM is often said to be "flu-like", and of course there is a huge possibility...

They seem to be productive in Würzburg! :) From another s4me-thread:

My impression too! (I was taught the concept in the 1980s. I never understood its being controversial.)

It may actually depend of what culture one comes from. This three-for-one is exactly how also I would have done it, if I had had a million to spend. I would think of other people's contributions as a sign that this fundraising goes to a good cause, and that my money may come to good use. Almost...

I do agree on your estimation (close to 100%), but not on what you then write. ;) People who appear insane to their peers do really exist. And one way or another, they (or we) are to be cared for. Psychiatry is far from perfect, but still irreplaceable until better knowledge is achieved...

Thanks from me too. :thumbup: I've not read the transcript yet, but I will be able to, ultimately, contrary to spoken conversations. :(

This is also my judgement. :unsure: A pity, though! It might have been interesting, if she had been less focused on alt.med and the unproved polyvagal and "Social Nervous System" theories.

How to explain the evolutionary advantages of Sickness Behavior. This article is from 2015. Maybe the scientific frontier has advanced since. Anyone knows? Anyway: I'm a bit impressed. :) Source: https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.1002276

Very interesting. Thanks a lot for the link, @Hip ! (Once upon a time, when I worked at a department för infectious diseases, we had a few simmering disputes in the staff. One of them was whether axons are large enough to serve as a route for viral spread. I may have been wrong. I did not...

2005. Sir Simon Wesley, MD. Honestly, I would rather prefer to see someone else replicating this, with more trustworthy inclusion criteria. I would hate to refer to the MD who in 1992 explained symptoms of aluminium poisoning in Cornwall with "significant psychological factors."

Compared with what ME specialists say in other parts of the world, I wouldn't complain. For sure! But isn't that rather typical of clinicians? If I were a consulted physician, with my current experiences, I would have said the same (with exception for benzodiazepines, maybe). They can't...

Seconded! ;)

Maybe my remark here is off topic, and I've currently no power to read all of the rest of this thread before writing a comment, so please forgive me if I'm spoiling the thread However, I do ponder how the term sickness behavior is used in English. When I studied (a rather long time ago), most...

I agree! To me, personally, dr Systrom's is the most hope-inspiring lecture or interview I've seen this year. But dr Oaklander for sure is less burdened by latin and strange medical terms. ;)
