This is such bollocks, either CBT and GET works because the patients have been given the wrong advice in pacing or the reverse is true and pacing works. Its fuck all to do with calling bad advice mental or physical or claiming a "psychological component". Evidence based advice on how to manage...

Is this the desired pre recorded PACE aim or something, and Sharpe has accidentally posted it online? I don't even know what he means by that tweet. He is such a strange man.

Psychiatry – the medical speciality that combined mental illness with homosexuality.

Bull!! It could have been so different already, not the same, if they had admitted the trial showed zero efficacy.

I just fired off a bunch of expletives so long and fierce that I would offend a sailor with tourettes who just had a hammer land on his bare toe from a very tall building.

'I love it when people who agree with me, the emperor, or when people who come and hang on my every word unquestionably because I am publicly speaking after putting out public notices, but I hate it when people use the same "diary" to come along and disagree with me. Bastards like that can often...

Surely its just the same as badly trained faith healers and ones who know what they are doing, you know, like the ones who cure cancer.

No its not that, its the old, "what does it matter if its a placebo, it worked". That's the kind of nonsense you get from a wide eyed member of the public who doesn't understand what placebo means and blindly accepts any basic premise given to them unquestioningly. Anytime soon the establishment...

Yes also Wessely has claimed to have retired from ME numerous times so that must mean that Sharpe automatically dismissed him everytime he retired.

What does "being a colleague" have to do with anything? He just doesn't get that science is not done by an old boys network its done by critique and debunkment that's the whole point of the scientific process. Isn't Peter White now claiming to be retired also, does Sharpe automatically dismiss...

Yes, using Sharpes logic government must always be right because they got the most votes in the last election. No need for scrutiny on policies practice and economical management then, the leader can just stand up and say, "look how many people are on our side and all of my cabinet agree with me".

This is such a flawed notion really. Science is not done by consensus its done by adherence to the scientific method. How does one describe an expert? Is it by quantity or quality of trials etc. Its not about how many allies one has or how many mates they can get to give them a character...

Doctor: "You are mentally ill and you're thinking can be corrected by us the best cure is CBT". Patient thinks to themselves: I don't think thats true, oh boy I am in danger of being controlled by the state. Six months later: Doctor: "Are you still mentally ill". Patient: "No Doctor" Didn't...

He is using Crawleys definition of biological. Basically deconditioning, lack of sleep etc. As there seems to be no difference between the arms at long term follow up I wonder what he thinks the aim of the trial eventually revealed.

A monkey could do it in his tea break!

This reminds me of yesterday when I got a cold call stating that I had been involved in an accident that wasnt my fault and was that correct. I promptly answered saying, "yes when I was 7 I was on my skateboard and my friend was coming the other way on his grifter and he sped up just as Mrs...

People like this should be engaged I agree. Even if this person has recovered, their story whatever it is, does not form part of the scientific literature that forms healthcare policy wherby for 30 years all of the so called top experts have failed to prove the efficacy of their treatments. The...

Changes in bold are mine are for emphasis on ludicrousness: "Listen to those who have been gay" was the headline of a chronicle in Aftenposten in September. Henrik Vogt was a writer with 45 members in Recovery Norway, a network for patients who have sexuality by so-called medically...

Where is the evidence that PWME dont already know their equilibrium point anyway to the extent that other people who don't have the condition can proclaim to have developed a therapy to teach them how to meet it? Why would anyone with limited capacity to exert themselves exercise anyway when...

He probably has to stay up that late to follow Trumps twitter feed.
