Yes, certainly. But providing information and saying, "trust me, this is true" is somewhat less valuable. In fact, it is not at all valuable....
Does no-one think it a little odd that VES appears to be threatening @Trish ? That response by VES is very disappointing. She does not seem to...
Strange isn't it? The post-viral hypothesis was discounted because, it was said, everyone is exposed to several viruses each year (though not the...
Well, well, well. VES's blog contains something very interesting. Follow the link to "Duchin"-type strategy (which is what I have always...
I would agree with all that, but it is the point number 2 which needs investigation. If this video has been selectively available since 2011 it is...
The problem we seem to have is that the recording could have been distributed selectively, with a view to influencing opinion, yet secretively, to...
Much of the ground around this video has now been covered by others, but there is one corner, at least, left to be explored. In what capacity...
The "Zinoviev letter" comes to mind. Could suppresion of information about the video be due to suspicions, after proper investigation, as to its...
Does anyone feel a need to recover their integrity? Does anyone feel it lost, or in any way compromised? Certainly we, or certainly I, say some...

Does any documentation presented to patients about this disclose the source of funding for Afme's intervention? There does seem to be a potential...
Entirely in a spirit of friendship, I do sometimes wish that the role Shorter, Kleinmann, Eisenberg, Abbey and others played in helping shape the...
No wonder they think the treatment so successful. They seem only to offer it to those for whom they think it might work.
Hmm.… perpetuating factors. That would be things like secondary gain. Strange how these ideas crop up in the discussion of conversion disorder and...
Pity the NHS cannot sue the private clinic to recover the treatment costs arising from the transplant surgery.
I did Shorter an injustice. He does say that the difficulty with believing that neurasthenia was an early example of chronic fatigue was that the...
Interesting that the one patient perspective would appear to be of someone who works for the University or the Health Trust. It is certainly...
I no longer remember why, or what the evidence was, but I assumed that Afme was one of those organisations created, or taken over surreptitiously...
True, but one must take into account all the employment opportunities created for those exploiting her. It's a different sort of cost/benefit...
