The historic basis of myalgic encephalomyelitis

ME is essentially a vasculitis. It was defined as such by the Harvard neurologist Charles Poser, Hyde believes this based on SPECT and autopsy, so does Spence and many, many others. Children did die at Akureyri, they were autopsied. The same happened with one death in Newcastle of an ME patient. ALL had vascular defects.

I don't intend to get involved in the debate but you seem such a decent person I thought I'd pass on these references in case you didn't know them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.108.100.99 (talk) 20:47, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I have these references, as well as Byron Hyde's 1992 book. Guido den Broeder 20:57, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Excellent!!! I have just been put on midodrine. I feel ten years younger- amazing drug. BUT of course what is right for me may not be right for someone else. Everyone is different. Something Byron knows, very, very well. My own physician is more local than Canada I should add. I wish you luck with wikipedia. It is indeed very, very maoist. I have no time for it really. Yes I did nearly die climbing in the Tien Shan etc. Myalgic EncephalomyelITIS. It is a vascular problem.

Hi Guido, good work on the recent contributions, especially regarding the controversial history. - Tekaphor 10:37, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Raggedy Ann Syndrome

The reference you provided for the term "Raggedy Ann Syndrome" was broken. I could not find a direct reference to Dr Cheney on PubMed. Failing Hyde, is there any other source that we could use to document this archaic term? JFW | T@lk 20:55, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I can't remember giving this reference, but there is a chapter(?) titled thus in Hilary Johnson, "Osler's Web: Inside the Labyrinth of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic", ISBN 0595348742 . Guido den Broeder 21:19, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Have a page number, so we can actually cite this? JFW | T@lk 11:56, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Glad to be of help. Follow the link: pages 24-38. Guido den Broeder 12:05, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

ME/CFS

Hi Guido, I am interested in any references you might have on 'The immune system acts like there is ongoing inflammation'. The essential fatty acid work i recently added to Immune Dysfunction discussion , supports this and I want now to look more closely at immune system findings.

Re ME/CVS Vereniging AfD

You may want to add some policy-based reasons to your !vote. If you don't, the closing admin will have to disregard it. S/he will also have to take into account the reasons you gave (which amount to a statement that this was a bad faith nomination). The latter will, no doubt, be interpreted as a personal attack on the nominator if left in place, weakening any otherwise acceptable arguments. Avb 00:20, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Done, thanks. Guido den Broeder 10:58, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Anti-oxidants

Hi Guido, a certain editor is reverting edits regarding anti-oxidants in CFS on spurious grounds. Firstly as unreliable source here which I had overturned on the WP RSN <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User:Lupin/navpop.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css&dontcountme=s">ine_Review here, and now as Fringe theory, which I sure could be easily overturned, as the hypothesis is and in some cases has been tested. Rather than continue his edit war I have posted a Discussion on anti-oxidants and seek a consensus on the Talk page for an replacement section. Jagra 03:23, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Homeopathy spirit?

Still waiting for an answer to your positing of "spirit" and "essence" as being involved in the mechanism for homeopathy. Naturezak (talk) 17:12, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

I have no position on the matter. Guido den Broeder (talk) 17:41, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry about these guys

It seems to me that some of the editors on Intelligent Design and evolution pages are very stuck in their agenda-pushing ways; they want wikipedia to portray evolution in only a favorable light, and any disagreement means you're a stupid creationist. Ignore them, and keep fighting for good, neutral articles, that portray this difficult, disputed subject correctly. GusChiggins21 (talk) 07:32, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

I see agenda pushing on both sides, and will ignore all of it. Guido den Broeder (talk) 09:47, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Conversion disorder

Not entirely sure what to make of some of the recent tags added to conversion disorder. In collaboration with a colleague we are working on improving this article but due to time pressures on us both this is a slow process. I will try over the next few weeks to improve the references and have done so on the first couple of paras already. One thing I can tell you from experience about the tag though, is that the other editors involved in this page will not appreciate the edits of any "expert" we can lay our hands on. Quite the contrary. So I am at something of a loss of how to proceed. Bringing in more academic "expert" input doesn't seem to help much when the opponents of the notion of conversion disorder reject the concept that it exists or that anyone should listen to neurologists, psychiatrists, or psychologists. So what are we going to do? --PaulWicks (talk) 19:35, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Wait and see, I guess. Guido den Broeder (talk) 20:11, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Could I be of assistance?

Regarding your query on the admin talk noticeboard, could I be of assistance? Addhoc (talk) 17:17, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Possibly, yes. Can I mail you? Guido den Broeder (talk) 20:11, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

No personal attacks

The diff you provided didn't show a personal attack. Yet another misdirection by by this homeopathy supporting dissembler 81.153.131.222 (talk) 18:29, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
