Probably true, and I certainly enjoy reading that perspective. A corollary might be that suffering from a chronic disease is an exercise in...
Clinicians and researchers tend to share the human trait of not seeing what they don't want to see. The NIH seems to enjoy an inexhaustible supply...
"Therefore our results represent a step forward for personality neuroscience within the study of biochemical systems and brain structures." Bets?
This phenomenon is not just restricted to HIV.
I'm glad I misunderstood, but not surprised; I'm almost getting used to misreading and mis-writing. Not quite, though.:unsure:
It is frustrating to the nth degree. :(
Yes, it is, but not as bad as it used to be. Still treated as such, though. But adding PEM to the mix helps enormously. I think this is incorrect...
Right. The take away is that in the US, EIS people - or later their CDC superiors - replaced ME with CFS. CFS WAS more vague, but that doesn't...
It's a non sequitur to suggest that a belief that ME/CFS is not a disease, coupled with a belief that ME/CFS patients can enjoy improvements after...
We couldn't agree more here. Again agreed. No. That is inference, and it belongs imo more in the psych community than a discussion of ME/CFS as...
Well, in your capacity as a medical doctor, do you know of any diseases that have a history of a swathe of patients with remissions/improvements...
So @Jonathan Edwards , it would be fair to say you believe ME/CFS is not a disease and ME/CFS sufferers can have remissions/improvements that last...
I would. FYI, because many of us have been on the receiving end of a medical lie, and it matters that that be exposed.
I wouldn't. Nor would I rest my argument on such an ill-defined, amorphous concept. I'd simply say it is unclear why people got well when...
Cool. Maybe this is accurate. Maybe not. It's theory. But MY understanding is it cannot fix broken bones and it cannot last for years, ie, there...
Aside from the appeal to authority fallacy, responsible "scientists" have been making a mess of things quite reliably for many, many years. Yes,...
But we don't lend it unrestricted domain or characteristics simply because it's convenient. Show me a text book that claims placebo lasts for...
Define placebo effect, and then tell me it's parameters, eg, is it just subjective reports, do time limitations come into play, etc. THEN tell me...
I cannot. Your question is full of bias. Not that it acts for years in objectifiable manners. Placebo is not responsible science - it's a...
I suspect this is flat out wrong. Simply because we do not appreciate a certain mechanism(s), does not mean we slap on a voodoo label and walk...
Separate names with a comma.
