Disturbances in circulation and provision of oxygen to tissues could underlie many symptoms of ME/CFS. The authors Metabolomics has quickly become one of the hottest research trends in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The metabolomic work in ME/CFS started with the...
The Hibernation Diseases? Mitochondrial Finding Suggests Fibromyalgia May Be Hibernation Disease as Well
Nothing happens in your body without some of your genes going off like skyrockets. If your body is responding to something – or acting differently in some way – it should show up in a different pattern of gene expression. If you get a virus, for instance,...
Could Poor Microcirculation Be Causing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)?
Could the microvascular system – the small capillaries and the red blood cells that run through them – hold the key to energy problems in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and perhaps fibromyalgia? The idea that the blood delivery system – not some...
Could “Junk DNA” Be Causing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Myalgic Encephalomyelitis
DNA that doesn’t get translated into proteins used to be called “junk DNA” but it turns out that much of it isn’t junk at all. Much of what was formerly turned junk DNA is actually actively modifying how our genes are being expressed and our...StudyME
