Seems so bizarre that a bunch of whinging feeble minded bodily oversensitive people who are in need of re educating and exercise therapy because they have become so decondtioned wouldn't report back on the very nature of their sensitivities when being coeocrced into changing their warped...

Cowardice.

I feel like that was directly aimed at me!!!

Funnily enough that sounds just like psychiatry psychotherapy and CBT. Try deprogramming that lot.

Its says it. Does that make it true? Also its "promising"? Who is making the promise and what evidence do they have? What does the data show and was it unblinded with subjective endpoints that where matched against objective data or not?

Actually that's a very risky statement for them as the PACE trial may stay in place for political purposes but equally could potentially fall and open up a massive can of worms at any time. If it does fall we can hold them to that statement above. I much prefer this version..... fatigue has...

Maybe the reference is the PACE paper as the PACE paper provides zero evidence of efficacy in ME and there's also zero evidence of efficacy from such treatments in cancer. Both relieved by a similar degree. Useless for both.

Yes this is definitely justification for cutting student fees down to.....perhaps zero for large numbers of people....in other words not letting them go to college and making them get a real job until they know what the hell they are talking about. So many juniors are too confident in their own...

The sceptic community online groups are extremely unlikely to have a true sceptic at the head of the group. There's more likely to be a grand master that draws in repeaters and haters. They are just online w****ers who alternate between online w****ing and online "scepticism", if you get my...

Has Sharpe been asked for his interpretation of "illness versus disease" in things like Autism, Parkinsons and Alzheimers etc? It would be interesting to see if he is prepared to say that they are diseases as opposed to illnesses in his own interpretation of the terms. I wonder what objective...

Someone may have just thought they had to bag up a little doggie poop in a bag and dispose of it until it went further and further upstairs and they realised they were living in a sewer. Now they think they can stop the immense stink by not letting people into the house and just closing the door.

The BMJs justification for this piece of diatribe is that they don't shy away from debate. Are they therefore offering up the right of reply to an opponent of Sharpe et al in the form of a full article response? How about Carolyn Wilshire and Jonathan Edwards? Or is the debate just going...

No, you have to be a fucking big bullshitter to be able to achieve that.

The obvious retort to that is that as they are claiming that all functional disorders are the same thing they have therefore proved with PACE that CBT and GET doesn't work for any condition described as MUS.

I wonder if he realises that anaphylactic shock is triggered by peanuts in vulnerable people. Its just a peanut for god sake, just a normal peanut! How about epileptic fits triggered by strobe lights? Just a light, just a normal light! Celiacs and their diarrhea, gas, fatigue, weight loss...

But my point was - what is the source of the scientifically validated claim that CBT helps people to "cope" with cancer anymore than a multitude of other things they could be using as coping mechanisms. When did CBT come out on top against any range of other possibilities that people already...

This is still a "debate"? The PACE trial is up for debate? That says it all really about what roll major publications think they have in the scientific field.

Is there even any evidence of this in cancer anyway? Is it proven to be more supportive than chatting with friends, taking a trip to the seaside, watching telly or doing absolutely nothing and carrying on as normal with the addition of the actual biomedical treatments?

I'm not even sure that is true when you look at the numbers of people who get cancer. And even if there's any truth that they are readily accepted that doesn't mean they work. There's probably thousands of cancer patients who readily accept homeopathy, reiki, faith healing etc etc. So what...

I think all the blind people in the world should get together and section all the sighted people who are seeing things that are not there. Everyone with hyperacusis should report people who think there is silence when there is not. Deaf people should report hearing people for having voices in...
