UK researchers analyzed nine studies involving more than 100,000 patients and found that taking a daily aspirin to prevent heart disease increased the risk of serious stomach bleeds by 30% — but only decreased the risk of heart attacks by 10%. In other words, aspirin did a lot more harm than good. The researchers' conclusion: routine use of aspirin to prevent heart attacks isn't justified.

A low normal thyroid will pack an AVERAGE 12.5 extra pounds on most women. This is one more reason I recommend a trial of thyroid hormone in unexplained weight gain.

Autonomic dysfunction, manifesting as fast heart rate when standing (POTS) and a drop in blood pressure with exercise (NMH) contribute significantly to the post exertional exhaustion seen in CFS.

Water helped decrease abnormalities on tilt-table testing, but drinking the sugar water markedly worsened function on tilt-table testing.
