The first significant point is this: "The key to understanding why people riot is not poverty – it is injustice."  In this case, the most pressing, acute injustice is that of police repression and institutional racism.  But the class injustices resulting in high youth unemployment, concentrations of poverty, almost static social mobility, and urban degeneration, are present here as well.  This is evident in the rioters' description of their motives in media interviews.

Von unserer Arbeitsgruppe wurden kreuzreagierende Antikörper gegen Coxsackievirus B beschrieben, die zugleich zytolytisch gegen adulte isolierte Kardiozyten waren. Autoantikörper können gegen den Adenin-Nukleotid-Translokator bei DCM gerichtet sein, und auf den Energiestoffwechsel der Myozyten Einfluß nehmen.  Antikörper gegen den ß-Adrenozeptor können die Katecholaminemfindlichkeit des Myozyten beeinträchtigen.

Sehr starke Schmerzen sowie dramatische Lichtempfindlichkeit – das klingt nach ME/CFS.

As we have shown with the cytokine gene expression studies, patient with severe fibromyalia actually did not have quite as bad Th2/Th1 imbalance, as comparing to patients with debilitating fatigue without as much myalgia. Conversely, the viral proteins seen in the stomach biopsy are much more abundant in CFS patients than that in fibromyalgia patients (unpublished data). CFS and fibromyalgia are probably the two ends of the same spectrum: one end has much more viruses but little immune response, the other end has few viruses in the tissues but very severe and yet ineffective inflammatory response. I have often seen patients progress from severe CFS to fibromyalgia over several years.

Interestingly, the use of antibiotics for Mycoplasma has no clear benefit in most patients with CFS/fibromyalgia and GWS. This may mean that Mycoplasma is not important in these diseases. The benefit seen in some patients may be due to the way the antibiotics (doxycycline, zithromax) modulate the immune system rather than the antimicrobial effect, as we have seen in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Aufgrund der Vielfalt der möglichen durch Enteroviren verursachten Erkrankungen, die aber auch von anderen Erregern verursacht werden können, reicht die rein klinische Diagnosestellung nicht aus. Der direkte Erregernachweis erfolgt mittels Virusanzucht in Zellkultur mit anschließender Typisierung (Neutralisationstest) bzw. Virusgenomnachweis mit molekularen Methoden (Nukleinsäureamplifikationstechniken, wie z. B. RT-PCR) aus Stuhl, Liquor oder Rachenabstriche.

Die Stuhluntersuchungen sind für die Diagnostik bei aseptischen ZNS-Infektionen besonders wichtig. Auch wenn der positive Enterovirus-Nachweis aus Stuhlproben nicht pathognomonisch für eine Enterovirus-Infektion ist, ergeben sich hieraus dennoch unter Berücksichtigung des klinischen Bildes wichtige Anhaltspunkte auf die Ätiologie der Erkrankung. In den ersten 1 bis 2 Tagen nach Erkrankungsbeginn ist die Nachweisrate von Enteroviren aus Stuhl bzw. Liquor annähernd gleich. Wird die virologische Diagnostik allerdings verzögert eingeleitet, ist die Stuhluntersuchung der Liquoruntersuchung deutlich überlegen, dies bedeutet, dass unbedingt in jedem Fall Stuhluntersuchungen vorgenommen werden sollten.

You can just imagine that cows evolved casein and palmitic acid to kill their calves. Or humans are not mammals in the same way as cows are, human breasts having evolved to sell newspapers rather than to feed offspring. Human babies should be fed sucrose water with a little soya bean oil added of course. It's a strange world.

But unless you already understand and believe in the vitamin model of nutrition, the notion of a trace substance that exists both in fresh limes and bear kidneys, but is absent from a cask of lime juice because you happened to prepare it in a copper vessel, begins to sound pretty contrived.

Interesting tale.

Haha! Obviously, if your data doesn't fit your observation, than your research-subjects are lying to you!

“The people on the ­IPCC side generally will not debate,” explained Miall. “Anything that’s brought up that they disagree with, they say has been dealt with and is no longer considered important, or is a minor effect. This is often quite wrong.”

"I don't care what data you have, I have my own data that proves my bias and disproves you, so I don't need to look at your data". And that is the fabled "scientific process"?

Grain feeding seems to promote the growth and acid resistance of Escherichia coli in fattening beef cattle, and acid-resistant E. coli are more likely to survive the human gastric stomach. When cattle were fed hay for only five days, the number and acid resistance of E. coli decreased dramatically. (via Urgeschmack)

EHEC: Kann ich mich in Hamburg in der Straßenbahn anstecken? Klare Antwort: Nein, denn in Hamburg gibt es keine Straßenbahn mehr.

During the presentation, Dr. Haley voiced a concern about the credibility of government vaccine studies. Dr. Golomb stated that reported adverse effects from the anthrax vaccine were about .005%, whereas the actual rate was determined to be 10^4 higher with follow-up. She also noted that a recent newspaper article series described the underreporting of hospitalization rates among those receiving the anthrax vaccine. She stated that officials had reported 100 such hospitalizations, but the newspaper reporter had discovered there actually were 20,000 such hospitalizations. Dr. Haley stated that, out of all the subjects considered by the Committee, this area of research appeared to be censored most severely.

Dr. Steele asked how the Committee should address this issue in the report. Dr. Golomb suggested that the Committee point out the repeated objective discrepancies, and that the evidence seemed to contravene the published findings. She stated that there was no need to speculate about intent.

ME/CFS is disabling and has a greater impact on functional status and well being than other chronic diseases such as cancer.

B-Cells involved in ME/CFS.

ME/CFS ist sicher nicht die einzige Krankheit die einem plötzlich (und auf länger) aus dem Verkehr zieht – aber wohl eine der weinigen zu der man in der Öffentlichkeit besser nichts sagt, die man am besten todschweigt. Krebs? HIV/AIDS? Diese Krankheiten tragen zwar immer noch ein Stigma, aber man KANN sich dazu öffentlich bekennen. ME/CFS? Da kann man gleich sagen man sei gaga und von Ausserirdischen entführt worden – das ist gesellschaftlich akzeptierter als an ME/CFS erkrankt zu sein.

Ich hoffe nur ihr Arzt ist kein Psychopathologe.
