This is a fair point but I strongly suspect that the people in favor of the review who complained about the update process did not have to wait...
And neither has S4ME’s complaint.
I agree with this and I remember your published criticisms of the MetaBLIND study. However, as we have seen, the authors have not addressed your...
It is strange to hear Nath say this when the intramural study group itself had a qualitative article on PEM describing its various aspects...

The reference to Reeves 2003 possibly means that the trials from 2005 onwards used the revised “empirical definition”, which does not require PEM....
