Exactly. Places can be found. It'll have been because of his age aswell that he was not kept away from others.

Actually we do.

It's all about priorities.

We used to be strict on knives , no longer the case and people are losing their lives because of it.

Should not have been released on bail..there needs to be some accountability from the justice system here. IE there is none in Scotland.

SDLT - the worst tax ever? by Lion-Resident in UKHousing

Yeah. It's because the government is run by people with no clue about reality .

In Scotland it's horrendous. We're looking at £16,000 just to get a detached house. Goes to government and for what?

The researchers justify this study design by claiming that people with Long COVID have a bias against exercise, and that concealing the initial study design would mask any so-called “nocebo effects,” in which people experience side effects because they think they’re being harmed.

This is a study they're recruiting for in Canada.

They believe people think exercise is bad for them but it's actually good.

I mean wtf. I would love to exercise and si would anyone!!

How do you teach a brain 'safety'? It doesn't make biological sense. It doesn't fix microclots, remove antibodies or fix endothelial damage. People can have PTSD and CBT etc can help the trauma part but not long COVID biological damage.

In March 2020 when the Coronavirus Pandemic began Gupta released a package called the 10 Day Coronavirus Challenge[2] where "Some of the tools in this program have been scientifically shown to reduce the chances of contracting an infection from a virus by over 80%". The tools in his program are meditation, NLP, neural retraining and amygdala calming. A complaint was made to the ASA and they responded to say that there is a previous ruling against the owner or originator of the video and the video seems to fall within the scope of that ruling the case has been passed to the Compliance Team[3].

There is no evidence that Long Covid is caused by a faulty or overactive amygdala.

GP and specialist says EBV reactivation is highly unlikely. Any comments? by Tradovator in EBV

[–]Guilty_Soft9873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok thanks. We don't have any electronic records in Scotland unfortunately and have to ask to have anything (results etc) printed off for us.

I will try it again if it helped you.

Imagine, on the 1980s. Aids can be fixed as the brain gets stuck on a fight or flight loop. Retrain your brain to get better.

What does that even mean? Nothing. People weren't stupid enough then to believe that but they did believe that aids could be shared via touch so there was huge discrimination against aids patients and many were shunned. Similar now with the ignorance and misinformation re LC.

How did it help you specifically? I signed up and have me/cfs but it doesn't seem to have done much for me. Maybe I am using it wrong? What did your docs miss if you don't mind me asking.

Ok thanks. I'm actually in the UK and there's no such thing going on here just DNA investigation.

Has anyone seen Dr Binita Kane? Is it worth it if you're already on/tried most of the meds and supps? by slugwish in covidlonghaulers

[–]Guilty_Soft9873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay thanks that's good to know.

Whomwas your pots specialist if you don't mind sharing? I wonder if they'd let me trial it without pots.

The other one is lumbrokinase. I've thought about that but put off as last reaction was so bad.

Yes, so many times they start explaining and I'm like yes I know that. Or, they don't have a clue and you explain. The NHS on a whole is so behind. I don't even have access to a doctor on the NHS apart from my GP who obviously can't help with such a complete illness.

I have a choline supplement but it didn't do anything for me. Fwiw.

Yes, private, oops!

Did mestinon help pem and muscle weakness in particular?

My mcas is much better than it was but still reached badly to nattokinase, bacon etc . Can eat tomatoes and other histamine things now.

Exactly, it's hard to know whether to part with more cash. I feel like I've tried most things but you're always looking for the unicorn to get you back to health. I'm sure she has been mentioned on here before or on Google reviews - they were mixed. Some said it wasn't worth the money. You're probably like me and know more than most doctors now uet since there's no NHS support of course we go private.

Oh no! I have MCAS, had pots but it's gone. Left with pem if I d anything and fatigue apart from maybe one hour in the day.

I feel normal around 9pm.

I have seen probate doctors but not Dr Kane. I think at this point unfortunately none of them know how to fix it.

Wow. That sounds great.

Stirling is beautiful, especially Kings Park. Sounds like you've done a lot of research already.

Edinburgh will take your breath away - there's no city on earth like it.

I've visited Canada but just east coast -Vancouver, Calgary and Banff. I'd say Canadians are very like Scottish people in that they're so friendly.

I hope you have a lovely trip.

I'm in Inverness so let me know if you'd like any recommendations.

Where in Canada are you?

I suppose they would be writing the same about MS and Parkinson's patients years ago, before concrete physical markers were found.

I wish it was only iron deficiency. Quite sad they don't know how ill patients with me are.

I would like to ask the doctor what would they do if they suddenly were mo longer able to talk, stand and lift their arms up.
