Our greengrocer literally has food coming out the door and piled on the pavement and across the street there's 30 people fighting over the last carrots and lettuces at M&S.

It is a bit odd that she was cured by CBT in 2001 then cured again by LP in 2011 whilst also discovering it was actually Coeliac all along, but now she still has ME.
In the case of ME/CFS I can't think how it could ever be discovered if there is a resistant genotype, we can't look at people who have been exposed to ME/CFS to see if they caught it or not.
The article was pay-walled for me but I found this one on the same topic

Are you in a location where a power outage likely to occur ? I thought they were pretty uncommon, only stats I can find suggest that each year about 1/25th of the population are affected for an average outage duration of 50 minutes.
I'm still waiting for them to expand into the automotive business... we've discovered that the people with most unreliable cars are the ones that spend the most time worrying about them, we propose that treating this symptom focusing will make the cars work better.

I had a quick look around this website for the Council for Evidence-based Psychiatry, seems their sole mission is to campaign against the use of psychiatric drugs, nowhere though does it say what they think psychiatrists should be doing. They rightfully point out manipulation and burying of drug...

Looks like a textbook example of p-hacking, outcomes were negative so they sliced and diced the data until they got it to spit out a significant looking value. Why on earth would it only work for people over 50.
Where ?
That is starting to look a bit like a diagnostic criteria, I take the point though that perhaps they would be better named 'diagnostic guidelines' or just 'clinical descriptions' so there isn't the implication that diagnosis is simply checking boxes. I worry about leaving diagnosis to the...
So how would you describe the core concept the diagnosis (ME/CFS) is intended to cover ?
It just seems to me unavoidable that until we find something objectively measurable it is at some point going to have to come down to a list of symptoms.
