This is particular relevant to the preCOP meeting in Fiji this week - while cassava is now widely eaten in the Pacific, the knowledge of the need to process it is more limited, probably because it is only a relatively recent staple in the region ~50 years.

The brief outlines the strategic crisis where environmental stressors — e.g. drought and extreme temperatures — trigger a biochemical surge in cyanogenic glucosides within staple crop cassava. The result is konzo: an abrupt, irreversible neurological condition that affects the poorest

So sorry to hear you've had ME for so long. Very interesting that Shingrix helped your ME. Have others tried that? I did mean chicken pox vaccine in children. I've had shingrix too. My OH got shingles after Covid (picked up v quickly by me, having read about it)

They speculate about the increase in shingles in millennials and older and don’t mention Covid - it is very common to get shingles in the aftermath of Covid

Another win for childhood vaccination. Interesting that shingles cases are dropping in young people who were vaccinated against chicken pox. It was always a worry (to me - I’m not an expert) that shingles might increase. I wonder if vaxxing will avoid re/activation of this virus in people with ME?

Why should we, the homeowners, shoulder the financial burden of another countries foolish war? It is not the creation of a young family struggling to make ends meet. It is not that of a couple who have been placed into negative equity with home loan versus crashing prices? Profit is the motive here.

This was definitely a rabbit hole I was not expecting to go down! When I saw 'CFS' (I know it's M.E.) I immediately thought how this blood-clotting autoimmune condition appeared to mesh with the more recent research that links ME with mitochondrial dysfunction.
