Total running time is under 15 minutes. Got slightly sidetracked about being caused by vaccines from a listener. Not too bad for such a small time slot. My only criticism would be that David seems to be presenting it as a fact that the cause is mitochondrial misfunction. I'm not sure the...

There is a podcast of the whole morning program at http://www.abc.net.au/radio/canberra/programs/mornings/mornings/9549538 The interesting stuff starts at about 1:14:30 ETA: adjusted start time slightly

I set my browser playing the ABC Canberra local radio link above, set a little recording app I wrote to record it since I had something else to do, but now I see it seems to have recorded Sydney local radio. Something mixed up at ABC?

I hate it when they say "is predicted by" when they mean "is correlated with". The former seems to imply causation; the latter is the neutral way to report what was observed without adding an unwarranted inference.

Somehow that seems unlikely while ME/CFS comes under the umbrella of Cochrane's Common Mental Disorders Group.

You should know that there is a fork of OpenOffice called LibreOffice which seems to get better reviews than OpenOffice. I use LibreOffice. Haven't touched anything microsoft for ages.

Yes. I thought it was patently obvious it was idiotic.

Is this Sunday March 25 or Friday March 23?

Which organisation is it that is organising David Tuller's tour. Is it The #MEAction Network Australia? It is disappointing that there is still so little information available about public events. If enough notice isn't given it cannot be expected that turnouts will be large.

If there were no evidence of benefit then surely the threshold for sufficient evidence of harm would be lower. We can see there is no evidence of benefit but NICE needs to be convinced. I suspect the biggest stumbling block here is Cochrane and the low standards in psych research.

I found the audio quality (and video but that's not so important) was too poor for me to watch. I may try again when I am not so far gone.

It's really time he did a piece interviewing a representative sample of the authors of the Journal of Health Psychology special edition. But I'm not holding my breath.

I said the same thing on another thread where Lucibee posted the same link. For me the problem only occurs when I read it on my phone. It's fine from a real computer.

Sorry, have just checked and it's just on my phone that it's hard to distinguish the two. Much better on a real computer. Not something that you could do anything about I imagine. Dr Norman Swan (the interviewer) is a much respected radio medical journalist on the ABC, our national Australian...

Just a thought - it would be easier to read if the original transcript and your comments were in different fonts, say italic for transcript and normal for comments.

Very few cars have roo bars now as they must be specially designed to not interfere with air bag deployment.

@Simone just told my wife (via a facebook chat - I don't do facebook - thanks Simone) that they still have not finalised details. David Tuller's blog did say (regarding activities in Melbourne):

It's actually not that bad. The brain just tends to flip the definitions of left and right. I remember doing a lot of pointing left and saying right etc. The trickiest thing is driving a left hand drive car on the left side of the road (or, I imagine, a right hand drive on the right). Did...

And what will one of these entail? Very pleased to see he will visit Hobart. I had assumed when I saw he was visiting Australia that he wouldn't make it to Tasmania.

I thought there had been epidemiological studies that discredited the "personality type" connection?
