Still worth trying to get as few people to hate us as possible while informing them of the truth!
Given the amount of press coverage the “mindfulness-based cognitive behavioural intervention program for CFS/ME” study got one could argue that it...
I wondered if the 'stupid studies' title could be unhelpful for reaching out to the persuadable middle when I first saw it, but at the same time,...
Although there will almost certainly be an attempt to present any challenging question as 'harassment', so it would probably need to be very...
Are you attending the talk? I don't know. Bishop co-wrote that really annoying Nature piece that indicates she had no real understanding of the...
She'll be able to quote from Montgommery's BS HRA letter to pretend PACE critics were all misguided without addressing any of the real criticism....
Hopefully she's okay.

Possibly - I just wasn't sure if there'd be any downside to posting the e-mail and his contact info on a public forum. I know a lot of those...

I think that my comment came across as more wide ranging (and insulting!) than I intended. Sorry. I am pleased to see you posting here and...
Ta Suffolkres. Any reason to just summarise the e-mail rather than post it on a public forum? I don't know, but thought I'd check with you.
They funded it, so they're hyping it! "Funder name Multiple Sclerosis Society" http://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN69897291
I take your point that Wessely and co often seem to be playing a language game around psychosomatic/functional/MUS/etc... but they have been...
Thanks Diane - I thought I'd just add a few points. Are there any quotes from NICE where it says that they only provide 'psychosomatic' care?...
I've just re-read this blog, and I think the psychosomatic/biomedical divide is unhelpful and gets in the way of exploring the ethical problems...
Also, I think that an acknowledgement of the problems with PACE/GET/etc would undermine the reptutations and careers of a lot of key people. I...
"Debate about ME/CFS management must now be focused on the risk of denying access to biomedical care for patients suffering from serious disease"...
