Have only read the lit review so far. Some silly bits in there for sure but my main impression is that this is a piece of writing by a Master's...
Yes, that surprised me, too. I personally know two other pwME and out of the three of us two were initially misdiagnosed with MS (MRI scans and...
Just to be clear, any liver involvement in my case is speculation on @mariovitali's part. It is correct that I have haemochromatosis but it was...
No, I didn't look at their questionnaires, only at the statement under point 8.3 "Patients with ME/CFS must meet the so-called Canadian criteria...
Two concerns with Cort's article: One, the teenager described was clearly very unwell; I doubt he was unwell with ME though (Cort routinely...

So happy for Jen! It certainly wasn't an easy route for her, first all those years so very ill then all those major surgeries. I think she's...
There's another letter to the editor in the new Listener (May 25-31). The end of the last sentence didn't make it into the picture, it finishes...
After chasing them up for a reply to my letter I eventually got this: Couldn't help myself so I replied again to point out that Marc's response...

A slick website and a worryingly slippery way with words - much more careful about claiming cures than that other NZ practitioner whose name...
Reminder: submissions for the Review of the NZ Health System close at the end of this month (for details see post #66 here:...
