Hemsley's statement is actually quite odd and I have yet to work out why he said it.
It is not explicit but my thought is that there is a fairly widespread view that some further procedures, and most specifically intravenous saline...
I was also slightly surprised that Walitt et al was quoted as evidence for known physiology!!
Thanks for that. In a way the response not so much expects too much but misses the central point. I guess I wrote it for everyone, including the...
The open response document seems to focus on what is known about the pathophysiology of ME/CFS. Unfortunately, nothing clinically useful is known....
Jo Cambridge used to bring bottles of Fairies dust essence back from Barbados yeas ago. Jack Iron I think it was called. Capable of combustion...

It's certainly the first time I have seen the blind inspecting the blind using Relativist epistemology and Critical Realism ontology. Maybe if you...
It is all muddle of semantics. Most doctors do not really understand the difference between a causal disease category and a syndrome category....
