The third, completely revised and updated, edition of the ultimate guide to energy - how we get it and how we spend it - for all patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, myalgic encephalitis and long COVID. Since the first edition of this book appeared, mainstream medicine has come up with nothing new that will help patients with chronic fatigue despite the recognition of long COVID - symptom-suppressing painkillers and antidepressants remain the mainstay. In the seven years since the second edition was published both new research and new clinical findings have meanwhile thrown increasing weight behind Dr Sarah Myhill's approach that focuses on the body's energy delivery systems and its energy use. In this third edition, Dr Myhill, now supported by expert patient Craig Robinson, has completely revised and updated her practical guidance on how to improve the former with diet, supplements and other lifestyle measures and how to address energy wastage through traditional approaches including methylene blue, DMSO and photodynamic therapy, and how to re-program the immune system with micro-immunotherapy. Following continued harassment by the UK's General Medical Council, Dr Myhill has de-registered and through this third edition we are beneficiaries of the fruits of that change as her focus is evermore on what we as patients can do for ourselves.

Pharmacist Mike McInnes explores human energy metabolism and how this is affected negatively by refined sugars and positively by honey. Every human function requires energy, and no organ more so than the brain which accounts for only 2% of body weight but consumes 20% of total body energy production. Without a sufficient energy supply we lose the ability to think clearly, react quickly or make good decisions. In Honey Sapiens, pharmacist Mike McInnes explores human energy metabolism and how this is affected negatively by refined sugars and positively by honey. In particular, his more than 20 years of research into sports nutrition have shown him the central importance of the little-known enzyme glutamine synthetase and how this is degraded by refined sugars, a key factor in memory loss, dementia and neurocognitive problems in the young and old and in utero. Drawing on an internationally diverse range of published findings, often ignored in English-speaking countries, he explains this causal pattern and the solutions, including the unrivalled part honey and the bioflavonoids it contains can play in supporting brain function long-term and protecting it from refined sugar degradation.

An insider's look into the world of pediatric drug trials: when research outcomes can quite literally represent life or death Many parents of children with serious health problems may wonder why new medicines are initially not approved for minors and, if their condition is rare, why at the same time there is such pressure to enter any young person under 18 into drug trials. So-called 'paediatric' pharmaceutical studies have become an international multi-billion business, with many careers in academia, regulatory authorities and the pharmaceutical industry based on this work, yet much of this activity is founded on a series of flawed concepts that have led to an immeasurable waste of resources and serious, ongoing medical abuse. In this revelatory book, the former head of paediatric drug research at two major pharmaceutical companies provides a guide for parents and non-specialists interested in advancing the health of children--both individuals facing serious disease and groups of children enrolled in testing programs. Rose explains the key differences between clinically-directed and administratively-directed research, what will potentially benefit or harm children, and how laws need to change around the world so that true advances can be made.
