I'm not trying to advertise for anyone here, just putting this out there to show that male pelvic pain seems to be gaining traction a...

Re: Dr. Arqile Gjikondi, Albanian Nephrologist, intrarectal antibiotics

Bottom line: If you've had tests for infections done, and they come up negative (no, this does not include candidas because that's not relevant here) then you don't have an infection. The ONLY infection that MIGHT ever be a hider is the spirochete of Lyme's Disease - and that is even debatable. Most...

Re: The Brain and CPPS

Been thinking about this report and had some other thoughts, questions. I'm just wondering, does "altered resting state" mean flipping the switch track in that part of the brain? Or is it more like a derailment, where it can't be switched back? Are they saying that the resting state of the...
