The study just claims that CFS is a central sensitization phenomenon with absolutely no evidence that’s the case. They cite to a paper about...
An ME patient bringing any sort of educational literature to a physician is likely, in my estimation, to only confirm that physician’s view...
Lenny is clueless. I interpret his ramblings as a nod to GET/CBT being effective. It’s shameless overconfidence
How do they speak with such certitude in deeming ME a functional disorder? Does anyone ever question this during a review process? Does anyone...
Here’s a piece from the same Lenny Calabrese. I think you’ll find a lot of the tropes noxious, devoid of empirical support, and demented. Learned...
I grieve for this poor child, and the inhumane, ghoulish behavior inflicted upon her. This is a snapshot of medicine, of the system that allows...

This is always the platitude BPS clinicians fall back on. Failure to improve is merely a result of the patient’s desire to maintain the sick role....
This is effectively the Shure/Gaffney modus. If only the world could see our erudition and follow our recommendations, what a utopia it would be.
We remain shocked that this clinical entity we don’t understand looks like this construct we think it is. This is the addled logic these people...
I believe this position is with Virginia Commonwealth University. The University of Virginia is located in Charlottesville and is a far superior...
When a random Twitter user named “Rodrigue Biscuit” offers a more artful summary of the issues with BPS research than Shure could ever concoct, it...
This reply communicates an unequivocal truth. Shure is intransigent regarding her position, and will leverage any opportunity to advance this...
This checks all the boxes of shameful ignorance and arrogance. I also resent the notion that psychosomatic researchers are being “deprived” of...
