I like the collaboration.

We haven’t thought of Lipkin as a metabolomics researcher, but he’s now engaged in no less than three metabolomics projects with Oliver Fiehn of the University of California Davis:

a Simmaron Research Foundation cerebrospinal fluid project with Dan Peterson, a blood metabolomics study, and with the new research center, the first ever exercise metabolomics study.

If metabolism is indeed a key problem in ME/CFS, we can expect the already striking metabolic findings in ME/CFS to get considerably more striking as exercise and standing tests put ME/CFS patients metabolism to the test.

A metabolomics exercise study sounds like a very promising thing! It seems to me that exercise does something that knocks the stuffing out of my mitochondria. At least that's how I'm interpreting it rate now.

So, I am very interested in this study! I would think it would show some big alterations in the metabolomics, maybe some very significant ones.

For me exercise is sitting in a chair. Eating/chewing. Getting to the bsyhroom.

That's not just exercise but aerobic exercise!

Lipkin’s goal is a simple one – to come up with treatments as soon as possible. During a telephone conversation, Lipkin abjured the idea of an “ME/CFS research center”; he’s not building a center to research ME/CFS, he said, he’s building a center to find solutions for ME/CFS – hence the name “Center for Solutions for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CfS for ME/CFS)”. He anticipated that a variety of treatments are going to be needed for different people.

@Cort, excellent write-up of Lipkin's goals. It's six months since it was written, has Lipkin given any indication of which treatments he's currently working on?

 

[1gooddog]

Yes, Solutions have been amplified in the papers I read.

I am going to research for more current findings and work.

I am taking a cross country road trip in May. I refuse to ride on a plane with their new, smaller, uncomfortable configurations. Less room with straight hard seats. NO NO NO, I can't do that.
