I really do not know what you are referring to here, Diane.
Are you actually familiar with the UK system, Diane? It is broken throughout by shortage of money, but the 2007 NICE guidelines say nothing about...
I am very familiar with the approach, Diane. A lot of UK advocates have been following this approach for a decade and more recently others in the...
A bg problem with focusing on the dichotomy of mental and physical for ME is that the BPS enthusiasts have been extremely successful in persuading...
I am not sure that helps. The distinction of interest, as indicated above, is not between one branch of medicine and another but between people...
That I would entirely agree with, but it is not a matter of a distinction between psychiatry and internal medicine or between mental and physical...
Another quick point. Have you read the 2007 NICE guidelines, Diane? I don't have them to hand but I don't think there is any suggestion of denying...
OK, one more point. My reference to poor logic was along these lines, Diane ( @Diane O'Leary ) What I read was: It is unethical for NICE to...
There is going to be a lot to discuss here and my contribution is going to be a bit piecemeal as I am trying to get from Switzerland to England...

I agree with that, but it is pretty clear that the article is intending to give the impression that something else is being denied - some...
Or maybe psychoneuroimmuno$$$$$$$babble
Many thanks for doing that. As an immunologist I fear I have to conclude this is drivel. (Maybe nobody is surprised.)
This strikes me as dishonest and probably against the law on informed consent. I don't think the UK BPS people have been foolish enough to make...
Oh, really? How come nobody in ME research knows about this knowledge? From his comments it sounds as if he is providing people with fabrications....
No, I just think this is wrong. Evidence-based medicine, in its true wide-angled form, requires that you have sufficiently reliable evidence of...
I think the view she holds is very likely to hinder things, but I would agree that her article will probably make little difference. The view is...
I see a big problem here. She is arguing for evidence-based guidelines but her argument is that treatment of PWME should not need to be...
She really doesn't get it poor dear, does she. It's a bit like the girl who went into a bar and ordered a Perrier and water.
No, it is another back-scratching club.
