I think the comments above address most of my thoughts on the subject. Ideally this paper will open funding to test on other conditions; in a...
Placebo response not sustained upon removal of placebo. Shocked, shocked, I tell you.
Agree with all of that, though I am more cautious around the Cyclophosphamide trial: we see a massive placebo response* in the Rituximab Phase 3...
Personally I consider the first of those adjectives to be very different from the second and third (which I totally 100% support). The trouble...

Combining this with the recent prospective studies showing, for glandular fever/mono for example, that initial illness severity is the best...
No, (I'm an NS subscriber) general focus is on non-epileptic attacks and inexplicable paralysis. On the latter, the 'distraction technique' is...
Similarly, if ME/CFS were perpetuated by 'unhelpful beliefs' we would expect the success rate of CBT/GET to be so much higher. When it comes to...
'Could' is doing so much work in this sentence it's probably a breach of EU labour law.
I'm saying literally neither of those things.
That's genuinely not true. My OH has worked for various cancer charities, lung charities, a heart charity, asthma etc. etc. All do basic...
