Thanks!Excellent @TracyD! Very clear and succinct...
I was tempted to include Naviaux's hypothesis of ATP-loss as the fourth whammy, but I decided to restrict myself to what has been shown, rather than suggested. Still, I agree that it might be part of the explanation.That´s a good explanation of why our metabolism doesn´t produce enough energy
but why a healthy person that is a on a protein diet could have a normal life , and we are still quite far from it on the same diet?
Probably we should add Dr Naviaux hypothesis, as part of the picture, so that CDR promotes ATP being lost through the cell membranes, and extracellular ATP acts as a danger signalling molecule
Brilliant, ME for dummies. Helpful for me, and also something to give to healthy dummies.
Is this why using a heart-rate monitor helps - because if you keep your pulse low, your blood doesn't flow past your cells so fast so they're exposed to fewer bad agents? And vice versa, why increasing your pulse / activity leads to PEM?
Looking forward to the next video
