Thank you. I appreciate you taking the effort to transcribe it so quickly.
Welcome to Phoenix Rising!
Created in 2008, Phoenix Rising is the largest and oldest forum dedicated to furthering the understanding of and finding treatments for complex chronic illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia (FM), long COVID, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and allied diseases.

Transcribing a video is much more energy intensive than I had envisioned I have nevertheless finished.
Is it safe to assume at this point that they have ran serum/cells from other immune mediated diseases that feature fatigue as a symptom through the impedance assay and they look different than ME patients?

I am going to forward the transcript to Pat and Grigor now. If anyone else wants a copy, let me know.
EDIT: I've just realised I can actually just upload it here.
They're not mutually exclusive. Diseases like MS have metabolic dysfunction as well.So I would think it is more important to compare it to metabolic mediated diseases rather than immune mediated diseases.

and as I said to them: the scientific method is first observation, then hypothesis.
And if you have virtually no observations you can’t generate a good hypothesis

I think they just have other bad effects if applied extracellularly, eg ATP is a danger signal if present in large enough quantities.Regarding the question about ATP and pyruvate, I believe the problem is that these are not sufficiently bioavailable orally, so supplementing them will have very little effect.
Great work, @Cheesus! Is it okay to share this?

Basically it's what's left after you take out the blood cells.
I get energy and then insomnia from too much ATP. I always thought this was because ATP was doing just what I thought it should ie helping my body produce energy, and that, like so many supplements that help with making energy, taking pharmacological doses overwhelmed my body's ability to regulate energy production.
So Dr. Davis' statement on this made me somewhat concerned, because it made me think that the assay, while able to determine whether a cell is producing a decent amount of energy, might not be able to determine whether that pace is ultimately sustainable. Or maybe it just needs more time to do that, I don't know.
But Dr. Davis obviously seems to think this will work as a test, so I probably misunderstood something. Can anyone point out what I'm missing?
