This is just part of the narrative of attack on the internet to safe guard us all so that all truth can come from the likes of the Murdoch empire.

Hold on a minute is this a confession that CBT in the PACE trial didnt work and now ACT is the new hocus pocus?

Sex is definitely worth the pain in my opinion. If the pain is too harsh just switch to a smaller spanking paddle. :sneaky:

Yes exactly, at what point do they come up with a "tool" they are willing to blind test on a group of mixed illness patients and declare which ones are conversion disorder as opposed to a known and previously diagnosed physical illness. I'm pretty sure the Lancet or the BMJ would be willing to...

"We do science by identifying, controlling, manipulating isolating and accounting for, all variables except in this case whereby using psychometric tools and subjective endpoints we wont bother, instead we will favour the thing we call "metacogntion" and we are calling this a hypothesis (even...

More feces than thesis.

Surely they should have included a control group of people with epileptic seizures or is that too logical? Perhaps they could have got both groups to change how they answered questions without objective improvement in the same way CBT is designed to do so in other such "trials".

Also try to establish the logic of how a doctor makes the differential diagnosis between an epileptic seizure and a "psychogenic seizure that looks exactly like an epileptic seizure but isnt one". Good luck with that!

And here's Lorraine Kelly, one of the biggest tv presenters in the UK talking a big bunch of bollocks about FND. No doubt she has had a script put in front of her and thinks she is helping people but really these talking heads in the media need to stop sometimes and ask questions before being...

I have even seen it claimed online that people can suffer from both epileptic seizures and non epileptic psychogenic seizures at the same time and that the psychogenic seizures look exactly like their epileptic ones. The problem is its not just doctors saying this its also patients going onto...

You can get away with almost anything if you want to. Most people just don't want to, that's the difference! That's why so many of us have difficulty understanding why so called self correcting systems don't work. The people that "want to" realise there is no self correcting system.

Is there any wonder why the people from Cochrane and PACE are bedfellows? One going under the bus drags the other one under too.

Maybe more to do with being involved in the NICE review than the reason AfME don't answer questions here anymore.

Is this true in the same sense that a person born without a bum can still talk out of their arse?

More rubbish! They had over three years to do all of that and then after they decided to retract they bottled it and allowed the writers of the review off the hook and republished the same warped conclusion. If they were serious about the above statement they would have involved the patient...

I just cant fathom how claims of the level that would not pass an Advertising Safety Authority standard and would result in withdrawal of the claim or even a fine can sit in a scientific journal, a supposedly more rigorous and influential medium, with zero consequences. Its even more pathetic...

All this from Cochrane about .... ....is just fucking bullshit to be honest. This is like BMW having a customer advisory group after their cars keep going on fire and asking them to have input into cars that go on fire. If they cant see the BS on their own why are they running a scientific...

Funny how the doctor in the article admits lyme disease exists but the only true misdiagnosis is when someone actually has "CFS" and is told they have Lyme disease. Oh the irony that she doesn't understand that CFS is not a diagnosis. "As you dont have lyme disease I am going to dump you under...

How? Be specific please.

That's not true courts have fined pharmaceutical companies billions in the past so there's no reason if a case is put in front of them for misrepresentation why they shouldn't do the same to the psych lobby and medical journals. Theres another route too, people will just have to start...
