Mark is beloved by millions of kids, which makes it particularly great that he’s teaching them how to inform their parents that Tesla is a danger to children. This is another one of those “we don’t need a ‘Rogan of the left’, we need normal men” examples.

Mundus sine Caesaribus

Research on GP knowledge of #MECFS - based on pre-COVID data: “a third to a half of all GPs did not accept ME/CFS as a genuine clinical entity and, even when they did, they lacked confidence in diagnosing or managing it.” Though acknowledging mostly UK data www.mdpi.com/1648-9144/57...

A comparison of UK Government research funding for ME/CFS compared to other diseases like MS, IBD and Parkinson's 🧐 @nihr.bsky.social and @ukri.org we need ring-fenced funding for ME as part of the Delivery Plan Thank you to @mediumwhite.bsky.social & co. for analysis #MECFS #NHS

ifnmujournal.com/gmj/article/... adolescent #t1dm clinic study - 25/70 pts (36%) positive bedside test for #POTS- HbA1c in that group high- 10.4%

This is a good and bad paper at the same time - if you compare #MECFS to #LongCovid in any scientific context, you must compare LC+PEM (i.e., ME from Covid) to #MECFS. Otherwise, you get the average of symptoms from any post-Covid condition.

I think it’s quite clear to outsiders- 🇺🇸 land of the bigsoda, bigsugar, bigfastfood, also the land of the biotech, pharma. Can’t make 🇺🇸 healthy without addressing the former

Long COVID further disrupts sleep, and poor sleep causes even more damage. Ensuring better sleep for patients should be a priority. 3/3 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39788123/

COVID-related conditions should be integrated into medical education rather than being left to so-called ‘Long COVID clinics.’ When those in charge lack a real understanding of the condition, these clinics end up becoming gaslighting centers. Physician education must come first.

Just reflecting on the realisation that my medical education taught me much more about Munchausen’s, which I have rarely if ever seen, than ME/CFS, which I now see near daily.

It’s 2025, there really is no excuse to get blank looks from HCPs in Australia when #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MECFS is mentioned, policy makers should do more to ensure such given the health equity and access that pwME pwLC deserve

Humankind prior to 8 ka consisted of fewer than 50 million people, many of whom were migratory. Modern human civilization in the 21st century is projected to near 10 billion people, hundreds of millions of whom live in permanent coastal communities that cannot be relocated inland.

Glad to see other groups seeing the same thing, as it’s been puzzling that it’s common enough but so under appreciated- hypoglycemia in hypermobile Ehlers Danlos pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

When I trained in medicine I was told that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) was rare. I expected to see a handful of cases in my whole career. Now I have Long Covid related CFS myself, I know of many affected colleagues, & saddest of all, 3 of my kids’ friends. www.livescience.com/health/coron...

Important work from Australian group. It’s interesting that rather than novel, probably just forgotten by clinicians. Brain perfusion SPECT been used in #MECFS for years, it’s part of the diagnostic primer for medical practitioners from 2012 www.investinme.org/Documents/Gu...

Cochrane Review is...

90s ME/CFS cognitive behavioural hypothesis: patients falsely believe they're sick = activity avoidance = deconditioning = symptoms CBT & graded exercise therapy: fix false belief & return to activity = reconditioning = recovery BUT they don't work ME/CFS patients ARE sick #MECFS #organicillness

And there are doctors that haven't heard of #longcovid, kid you not.

Wow is #quercetin benefits in #T2DM too good to be true? In a RCT vs control , multitude of benefits pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

In its most recent (30 June 24) stock portfolio holdings report the #FutureFund held 7,908,556 shares in NVIDIA Corp. If that number is unchanged then last night we took a hit of about AUD$300M on that one stock. Just saying! #auspol

Imagine spending that type of money on health, on #longcovid #mecfs research

I'm not an AI expert. But IMO, the biggest take away is that our biggest AI companies tried to make competition about how much money they could spend. Locking out others. Deepseek turned that upside down. Which could open the door to many smarter, more entrepreneurial competitors

“turning made-up metrics into dollar valuations detached from reality. Now DeepSeek has exposed the scam.”

New Aussie #mecfs research: "While single-biofluid biomarkers may be sufficient as diagnostic biomarkers, the complexity of ME/CFS suggests that correlating biomarker levels in blood with those in other biofluids may offer a more comprehensive understanding of their mechanistic roles." 1/2

EXCELLENT READ, yet I do not understand the equalisation of ME/CFS with MUS. In my humble opinion, ME symptoms are no longer "unexplained" for a couple of years due to insights into pathogenesis, particularly the mitochondrial dysfunctions. doi.org/10.1136/jme-...

LinkedIn is cool because I was always wondering what it would be like if people I sort of knew wrote mediocre press releases about themselves.
