Yet still have enough influence to continue delaying and diluting serious reform, and making it as costly and nasty and heart breaking as they can.

Done the second of my two for this funding drive. :thumbup:

slightly increased costs and slightly better outcomes in terms of QALYs And based on a single subjective measure of clinical benefit. Now they are just taking the piss.

Yes, this research, some of which we led, has been criticised by some, but it remains valid; That phrasing is how misdirection is done: To describe it as some is both true and highly misleading. Those some include the highest levels of medical science, in many different countries. e.g. IOM &...

I think the overall long-term pattern is going to provide very most useful data. Short-term needs to looked at too, but one thing we don't have yet is good long-term tracking of these kind of variables. Building a collection of this kind of baseline data is done in other fields, like...

Nah. All that business of testable predictions is just too much trouble, and the data might still say something you don't want it to. Why go to all that bother and risk when cooking the books can be done post-hoc. It's the enlightened methodology for the 21st century.

Second Rule: If an association with a biological variable becomes undeniable, then make sure the direction of causation is always assumed to be psyche–>soma.

Also here in Australia.

From what I have seen, no current strategy is going to make a difference. This is where we are at. Not only have the NICE guidelines not been allowed to deliver what is needed in the UK, they are being actively abused and perverted to block reform and progress, and insted keep things as they...

sanism New word to me. But a good one.

Yep, it is mostly performative arse-covering. As such things typically are.

That was my first thought: Is this coordinated?

Ibuprofen works well for me, but given a long history of serious reflux and associated Barret's esophagus, and mild hypertension and increasing gut troubles, I am reluctant to be taken it more than sparingly.

It will be difficult to do so reliably amid the various demands of daily life.

Nice idea, but also risky given the offenders remain politically powerful.

Yes, this research, some of which we led, has been criticised by some, but it remains valid; A profound and unresolved conflict of interest is not negated by merely admitting it.

She has a BSc in cell biology from the University of Manchester. In which case she has no excuses.

This. We have all seen how shameless and ruthless they are. The closer they get to losing their empires, reputations, status, incomes, etc, the more so they will become. It is difficult to start dealing with a thing until it is named, until it is made overt. And worse. ––––––––– And why is...

Exhibit 398941 for the prosecution in the case against the methodological and ethical standards in psychosomatics.

That remains one of our most powerful tools at this stage. Getting stuff on the relevant public record, so nobody in the relevant positions of power can say they were not informed about the problem.
