    Struggling Toward Ketosis

    Intermittent fasting is maybe an alternative approach. Do a search for Valter Longo at USC. He's looked at the effects of intermittent fasting & auto immune diseases such as MS. Hope this helps.

    Struggling Toward Ketosis

    When you are making smoothies, you are breaking down plant fibres & releasing sugars quick into the bloodstream. If you were to measure your blood sugar with the sort of meter diabetics you may see a spike in blood glucose. Ketosis will only begin if you use up blood sugar and glycogen stores...

    ME Research UK and the UK ME/CFS Research Collaborative

    The whole research scene in the UK is a ghastly mess. Controversial paediatrician Esther Crawley tends to dominate things and the charities and patients treated with irritation & contempt.

    Mady Hornig, M.D. vs Trustees of Columbia University and Walter Ian Lipkin, M.D.

    Mady Hornig, M.D. vs Trustees of Columbia University and Walter Ian Lipkin, M.D.

    For those of us living in Britain, we are dependent on the US & Norway to do the decent research. So when you hear about the fall out at Columbia, we feel the pain too.

    New Fluge & Mellas new metabolic profiling study

    @Cort Reduced levels of BCAAs have been found in the Naviaux and Fluge & Mella studies too. After reading the Naviaux paper, i took a punt on trying BCAAs. Difficult to be objective but I would say in association with Creatine, they have helped.

    Vitamins & energy

    Hi @Cilla , I get headaches at particular times especially after waking up from a deep sleep after an afternoon nap. It is accompanied with grogginess. I usually just drink tea (for the caffeine) and take ibuprofen. Both help constrict the blood vessels and reduce the headache feeling.
