I've been granted one question. What would you ask? (Remember the rules...)

(Apologies if I put anyone off their tea. There are another two videos that I couldn't watch. :eek:)

Just came across this on Lancet TV. (Sorry in advance...)

It was this one: And this one: [I should just add that he does not explicitly say that PACE was not supposed to focus on ME/CFS - but we were trying to get him to explain what he meant by them being looked at separately for research purposes when they clearly combined them in PACE.]

Re: Forget-ME-not... I've been using mine for a few years now (during May). Only thing is that it's also used by Alzheimer's charities.

I attended the #MillionsMissing demo in London on Saturday, and one thing particularly struck me. And I feel really quite awkward saying it, but I was struck by how ill people looked. But when I look at the photos posted online, people are smiling and look reasonably well. I guess there is a...

Thanks @Indigophoton If I've made any errors, please let me know.

I've featured actigraphy in my latest blog post: https://lucibee.wordpress.com/2018/05/09/pace-trial-whatever-happened-to-actigraphy/

Excellent documentary. Hopefully, if it gets enough online traffic, BBC will also show it on mainstream TV at some point. They've done that with other BBC3 docs.

I really don't know. I'm also not a very good speaker!

Another thing I haven't mentioned (yet). When I published my first blog on the PACE trial (2 years ago), Sonya Choudhury got in touch with me to ask if I would speak at the CMRC conference about it. I declined, because I felt that such an unscientific study had no place at a scientific...

Others have already tried this route and got nowhere, I'm afraid. They simply don't accept it as valid scientific criticism. Once they've put you in the flat-earther, anti-vaxx, climate-denial, alien-conspiracy-theory, anti-science camp, it doesn't matter what you say or how valid it is. It's...

Last week, I wrote to my ex-boss (Richard Horton) about my concerns regarding The PACE trial, and in particular, the way the review process was handled. Over the weekend, I got a response. They won't budge on this. As far as The Lancet is concerned, PACE trial is "science". So I suspect that...

I thought #MEAction did this a while ago as part of #StopGET. But there does need to be a more systematic way of recording harms from non-pharmacological therapies, including psych, medical devices, etc.

This virus has been known about for a long time. Here's an article about it: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(07)70081-6/fulltext

Oops! A typo...

Quite. But it's the fact that he's making the accusation. Why would he even go there?

This is just getting more and more bizarre. M Sharpe: "I am afraid that I do know what has been done outside trials to produce these reported harms." Sounds like he is accusing trial participants of deliberately overexerting themselves outside the trial to demonstrate harm. That's just not on...

I'm concerned about these accusations coming from a certain M Sharpe:

I did a post on this topic a couple of years ago. The main flaw with the biopsychosocial model is that it can be moulded to serve any agenda. https://lucibee.wordpress.com/2016/03/15/engel-and-the-biopsychosocial-model/
