powerful detailed account of ICE captivity

"To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there"

Duke researchers find cerebral blood flow drops, not heart rate or blood pressure, are key to orthostatic intolerance in POTS, long COVID, and ME/CFS.

Many patients are misdiagnosed.

Better CBF measurement is needed.
