But I see no evidence to support such statements. Why would cold exposure change this state?If the problem is hypometabolism, what about interventions to increase metabolism?

Yeah, I agree. I think the point was that because we have a disease that has such few options for cpsymptom relief, are fodder for quackery.Is this a reputable blog? This is a very poorly written piece. However, the doctor who wrote it does seem sympathetic. I'm just not sure what his point was.
