85/100 samples in the freezer! We now need to round out our control cohort. If you know anyone who is apparently healthy who might be interested in giving a sample to the project (with $20 reimbursement of time and expenses) please refer them to [email protected]

We also home visit if needed and viable but can discuss with the other stuff

Yeah turns out getting sick and losing one’s life to something with no real treatment gives people depression and anxiety, yes

I have made and tested over 200 cell lines from healthy people, people with ME/CFS, Long COVID, post covid recovered, and the measurable biological differences are pretty obvious
