I'm assuming this is TheHog?

If so they tweeted a link to it last night but the tweet seems to have gone.

I found a link to this report which involved Dr. Bermon.

https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&...lnxZhGLnl9Xep5YUn_6JfQ&bvm=bv.151325232,d.dGo

Interestingly, he was a reviewer of the document, and it discusses, amongst other things, schistosomiasis and asthma.

Coupled with Bermon's location being in Monaco, and the IAAF's headquarters being in Monaco, he's well placed to be a key adviser to them. He's one of only 2 reviewers of the document.

I'm having a hard time identifying when it was produced, however. Sometime after 2006 is all I can work out.

I don't agree Schistosomiasis is easily spotted by a doctor in Europe.

This isn't "a doctor" though - this is the President of the International Society of Immunology...

I should also say - I am aware that my post above seems to be a rambling, incoherent mess, but personally I think that's just because I don't know if there's any smoke here or not. As I was putting it together, I was flip-flopping between this guy having something to do with Froome's miraculous Vuelta, to it all just being a coincidence and him being a doctor in Monaco that Froome visits. More than anything, I thought it good to put some of the info together.

The PDF at this link http://isenc.org/downloads/Dr.Bermon.pdf is very interesting. I think there could be something worth looking into with regards to Acetylcholine Histamine, however I don't know enough about this stuff.

While the original link is unfortunately not available any more, I did a bit of research into Acetylcholine Histamine, and interestingly there is a thing that is intrinsically linked to it - 'histaminergic manipulation'. Fascinatingly, there is a study from 2008:

"Effect of histaminergic manipulation on weight in obese adults: a randomized placebo controlled trial"
Source: https://www.nature.com/ijo/journal/v32/n10/pdf/ijo2008135a.pdf?origin=ppub

Unfortunately, this particular study's conclusion was: Betahistine, at the doses tested, induced significant weight loss with minimal adverse events only in women below 50 years.

I'm wondering if there isn't still something in this with regards to the weight loss though.

OTOH, this could also be literally nothing.
