    Spot the psychotherapy suprise

    Wacko American that I am, I interpreted "mummy milk" as milk from the dead. What a terrible story, @Empty. The therapist in her effort to sexually abuse clients asks them to imagine Biblical imagery. Gee. Judge Pringle says it's clear (from reading letters of support?) that the therapist...

    How herpes simplex reactivates in neurons to trigger disease

    Yes, colorful picture. Thanks, @JennyJenny, for pointing that out. I went back and took a good look. In my long experience of being ill, ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia are the same thing.
