That's what puzzles me the most. The tribunal clearly recognizes your effort was legitimate, well-documented and in good faith while making a...
Still the same problem of mixing cause and effect and finding imaginary causation out of superfluous correlation. Very similar to Wessely's claims...
The way I understand it, it argues both. It recognizes that it is not vexatious but that allowing it would likely lead to more demands, which is...
Well that's just a blatant lie. Most of the research shows remission, not recovery, rates of 5%. Controversial opinion here but lying about...
Why asthma? There's been a glut of those lately. How is asthma a proper "illness control" for ME (or even CFS, whatever that is)? Obviously rates...
It's fairly noticeable that the premise that objections to this research are irrational and unfounded is unconditionally assumed to be...
The idea that the mind can magically cure illness is really, really intoxicating to some. It's like The One Ring or the Philosopher's Stone....
Eventually the numbers are going to come out and they will fall very short of the absurd promised 50% "recovery", even with the usual dumbing...
So... they have no idea that the CBT variant is actually magical thinking and brainwashing patients into ignoring their symptoms, not the standard...

I most definitely expect that they were not. Anyone doubt that? After all it's in the premise that it is harmless. Can't continue arguing that...
Speak for yourself. I'm so mad with rage I want to destroy erlenmeyer flasks and do controlled chemical burns on periodic tables. That's how...
Absolutely. Clearly a controversial opinion, sadly, but real objective science > subjective, ideologically-motivated outcome-seeking. Any day of...
Normal fluctuations of the disease definitely could explain that. Incredibly frustrating to have to take account of this much unpredictability....
But. I was told by eminent professors that we threw tantrums about research when we don't like the results and should be expected to go on a...
All that hot air would make a great paper airplane.
So the FINE "rousing reassurance" model, just taken down a notch. A model that failed, obviously, because it's incredibly stupid. How can there...
A basic error like this does not inspire confidence that further errors will not be found throughout. :facepalm:
Really? Widely believed? Why would people believe such a thing? This is in the same realm as believing in fairies or astrology. It's not as if...
Separate names with a comma.
