That's the first I've heard that I invented the term. Frankly, I see no real difference between "unhelpful" or "dysfunctional" illness beliefs and...
So what happened first was an open letter in November, 2015, a month after the series ran. That one was signed just by the five experts I quoted,...
Yes, Carol Monaghan is aware of it. The Australians involved are aware of it. It will be shared with reporters as well. Anyone can share it with...
That would be interesting.
That's great. I thought I'd post it on Virology Blog. I'm assuming that's ok?
Well I don't expect it. I guess it was meant to be aspirational... :)
The idea is to re-post the letter in the near future with organizations added. So Action For ME will have a chance to decide along with other...

That's been the question! The Lancet of course won't say. One notion has been that perhaps the Dutch colleagues who wrote the commentary were...
And remember that the PACE authors read that commentary by their Dutch buddies and vetted it before publication. So they were very well aware of...
@Esther12 I agree with all those points, especially about the objective measures. I wasn't aware of anything beforehand and never heard of PACE...
@Esther12 What design do you think would have? It always seemed to me that if they had published honest results, it would have been like the...
Does anyone have a direct e-mail for Godwin?
It's great that Godwin is weighing in, although I don't really understand why in PACE the model was not falsifiable--it was falsifiable. The...
Yup. At some point I hope this will all come back to bite those who have abetted this crap. I'm lucky that Berkeley has shown that it actually...
