Parakoch: Loose Ends And Chasing Ghosts
http://parakoch.blogspot.com/2013/11/loose-ends-and-chasing-ghosts.html
A Journey Through Disease. Saturday, November 23, 2013. Loose Ends And Chasing Ghosts. I might have made some progress, but some loose ends make me feel like I am chasing ghosts. Another thing I noticed: When I take a bit of sugar, my nose "cleans up". Usually it feels a bit congested, but after taking a bit of sugar (which has to contain fructose – glucose alone does not. Now it took some time before the acne wound down again, during which time I removed olives, mustard, bananas and sausages from my nut...

Parakoch: "As a matter of fact I wonder how it ever came through the review"
http://parakoch.blogspot.com/2012/01/as-matter-of-fact-i-wonder-how-it-ever.html
A Journey Through Disease. Monday, January 23, 2012. As a matter of fact I wonder how it ever came through the review". It is really hard to take Lombardi et al. 2009 at face value. The PCR conditions are badly reported in the WPI paper, published in Science[1]. As a matter of fact I wonder how it ever came trough the review. Unlike XMRV-positive prostate cancer cells, XMRV infection status. Did not not correlate with the. The sensitivity of the PCR is not. Vials without added DNA. Resuspended in TRIzol ...

Parakoch: Lipkin And Horning Draw A Blank
http://parakoch.blogspot.com/2014/03/lipkin-and-horning-draw-blank.html
A Journey Through Disease. Thursday, March 20, 2014. Lipkin And Horning Draw A Blank. From the tweets from the 2014 "Stanford ME/CFS Symposium" I can see that Lipkin focuses on the "microbiome" (aka all the "good" and "bad" bacteria that live in your gut). And while I think that there is possibly a connection to the gut (and to nutrition! In many diseases, I however think the reason that Lipkin looks in the gut is because he has exhausted the paths of inquiry that involve the body "proper". For me, this ...

http://parakoch.blogspot.com/2012/01/does-table-number-4-lie.html
A Journey Through Disease. Sunday, January 29, 2012. Does Table Number 4 lie? UPDATE: The questions that arise from table 4 can be found here. At the end of this post is the table 4 from the addendum to Lombardi et al. 2009. Submitted in February 2010). In this table we find:.

Parakoch: A request for clarification regarding the 33 XMRV PCR negative patient samples in Lombardi et al. 2009
http://parakoch.blogspot.com/2012/02/request-for-clarification-regarding-33.html
A Journey Through Disease. Friday, February 3, 2012. A request for clarification regarding the 33 XMRV PCR negative patient samples in Lombardi et al. 2009. End of 2013-09-01 update]. Prompted by my previous post: Does Table 4 lie? I need to write something about myself first – apologizes for that. If you want to skip that, jump right down to the first headline ( Lombardi et al. 2009. It was sometime around February 2011 that I learned of CFS and subsequently of XMRV. And " Chlamydia Pneumoniae. So in ea...

Here are a few anecdotes gleaned from past comments that describe improvements in oral health due to a change in diet. Please feel free to add your own (positive or negative) experience to the comments. I may add it to the post. I wrote about that before but it is worth repeating: - my teeth would not decay even if mechanically damaged, broken in half etc. The broken exposed parts of a tooth, even if the core is open, just seals itself over time. I have also eliminated cavities since I changed the way I ...

Parakoch: "Pathways to Prevention for ME/CFS"
http://parakoch.blogspot.com/2014/04/pathways-to-prevention-for-mecfs.html
A Journey Through Disease. Friday, April 11, 2014. Pathways to Prevention for ME/CFS". I posted a comment on the CFIDS website regarding "Pathways to Prevention for ME/CFS". Prevention needs some sense of the cause(s), if I am not mistaken. Yes, there are tentative, speculative causes. But all the so far presented "definitive" causes of ME/CFS share one thing in my eyes: complete lack of credibility. There is no trustworthy research pointing to an cause. And would prevention look like? Problem is, there ...
