If I google for Ian Sample and Jo Marchant, I get results. Is that it?
Sharpe is now saying that PACE critics aren't patients. It sounds like he's close to declaring that they are "not really ill" or suffer from some...
Also the implications here could be ugly: the test is designed to detect malingering; what kind of narratives would such a discrepancy support?
Once again, the Science For ME peer review almost immediately spots a fatal flaw.
Excellent. That journalist can't be too happy that Sharpe led him towards producing a nonsense article. At least I hope he sees it that way,...

By not being about evidence I mean that they clearly don't care about quality of evidence or trying to arrive at a coherent understanding of the...
I don't think this fight is about evidence anyway, it's about power. There is an enormous power disparity that enables PACE authors to misbehave...
There is a double standard here in that psychiatrists can invent whatever they want, including models that propose that patients are especially...
To continue supporting CBT/GET, you must have an inability or unwillingness to take reports of harms seriously, and also an inability or...
If I remember right, during the earlier steps of this review, it turned out that every patient organization was critical of PACE/CBT/GET. Patient...
Since the key issue is whether CBT/GET is effective and based on reliable evidence, they should invite experts in clinical trial design that have...
The problem is that the system in places serves doctors and the establishment, not patients. It might be well and proper according to the rules...
The claim that gradually increasing exercise will lead to a cure or significant improvement is harmful as it puts pressure on the patient to do...
Vogt does not understand that the BPS people are fooling themselves by running unblinded clinical trials. First they fool themselves by finding a...
