I really wish I didn't have to spend my time doing stuff like this.

Remission Biome is essentially PhoenixRising on steroids. There's a lot of nonsense being pushed. They seem to just ingest any rudimentary science and based on that push extremely expensive interventions that 95% of patients would never be able to afford.

Well, no, but based on the title I didn't expect just CBT/GET peddling.

Well, that was a pile of shite, but thanks ayway @EndME

I'm getting a security warning from that site. I did try other sci hub sites but they were down. Can you post the PDF? Thanks.

Can anyone provide a PDF of this BMJ editorial. Thanks. https://www.bmj.com/content/350/bmj.h2087.full

I just started this video and the first claim—that delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after a workout is caused (primarily) by lactic acid—seems to have been debunked a while back.

TV docs looks very different from stuff like Voices From The Shadows. There are production companies who do this day-in-day-out for TV and know the format and recipe. It could be an idea to pitch to some of them who have made docs on similar topics before. I don't know enough about how the...

my body disagrees.

This is the second time we've seen this in a week. What is going on?

No, that's why I used quotation marks!

Suddenly ME/CFS is no longer 'a rare disease'.

Are you able to ask your friend for further details i.e., how they know about said programme?

I agree. I highly doubt that a recent Panorama episode was made without anyone in the UK world of ME knowing about it. Please don't take my skepticism personally. Happy to rescind it on any evidence of said programme!

Thanks for all your comments so far. Remember this is just a (potential) story pitch, and I imagine that generally once a story is pitched via email (for example) that person is not involved in whatever is produced. So I have not considered potential interviewees etc, because it's highly...

Yes, this could be an alternative story/angle that would perhaps negate the need to dive into the controversy about PACE etc.

The whole programme is about children being pressured into psychological therapies. Sure, the BPS got a bit more organised after this, and became more prominent, but the philosophy behind how patients were treated was much the same in the late 90s as it was in the 2000s and 2010s, and in some...

Yes, I did consider this, but ultimately I want the story to be on ME because it really hasn't been told on primetime TV. The roll-out of the new NICE guideline links with long covid because many are being referred to ME clinics (and finding that they really have nothing to offer).

Yes, this is the only other Panorama on ME, I believe. It's a good doc. I uploaded it here:

I generally like Panorama, and I thought the recent doc on anti-depressant withdrawal was quite good. It had similar themes as what I'm proposing. However, this could be directed to Dispatches if people thought that was a better/less risky option.
