More basic biomechanical studies please, at all scales, micro to macro.
For a disease featuring difficulty in movement it is surprising and more than a little disappointing that so little attention has been paid to how the body is behaving biomechanically, how it is handling both internally...
Cult thinking never does. That is one of its most required and distinguishing features.
What about cognitive activity, including emotional and social interaction?
Nor required in conjunction with feeding.
Spreading the blame game.
Not entirely clear to me what the distinction is between them. Maybe just call it biological or biophysical. Covers structural and physical.
And they have gall to accuse us of being stuck in rigid stereotypical thinking? It is beyond parody.
Very good question.
It is the perfect excuse mechanism. Nobody can disprove it. Even if a full biological explanation and cure is found they will still claim there is a 'functional overlay', to...
I wonder at what point do the non-ME specialists at the clinical coalface start turning their critical gaze on the senior BPS school ME 'experts' who have polluted the medical system with all this psycho-drama morality-play nonsense.
If they think it is a tough ask to have to confront their...

I have no delusion that Walitt himself has seen the error of his ways. It is only via shining a light on this crap that anything is being done about it.
It is so blatant, isn't it. We are way past the point where they can claim plausible deniability. They are just compounding the already serious damage to their own reputations.
They seem completely oblivious to the profound damage they are doing to their own reputations.
As I have said before, trust is the single most important element of the clinical encounter and relationship. Lose that and it is all over.
Because nobody with authority over them is calling them out on it.
This problem goes way deeper than a handful of rogue players in one small area of medicine.
They have gone rogue on methodology and ethics, and become a law unto themselves.
And did it in full public view.
There has to be an intervention from the rest of science. Medicine is clearly not going to stop them. Whether it chooses not to, or is incapable of it, doesn't matter any more. The...
It is not known whether this logical error, a form of circular reasoning, can sometimes be mistakenly reinforced by health authorities themselves.
Leading professional medical and psychiatric organizations commonly confound depression, a descriptive diagnostic label, with a causal explanation...
