Hear that cancer patients? It's your fault for being sick. And not "healing" yourselves. Now you are cancer. What nice people, bringing medicine...
This point really needs to be brought up every time. Most of the money allocated is not going to actual research. Real research funding seems to...
ME patients, along with millions of other chronically ill patients, are insulted and condescended to at every opportunity when they try...

There was a judicial challenge to the 2007 NICE guidelines that was dismissed on all grounds. Its objections have turned out to be correct, as can...
AKA correlation is literally the same thing as causation, amirite guys?! That is ultimately the fatal flaw in the psychosocial nonsense: it can...
Coming down from that high will be particularly hard for those who keep huffing it insisting there totally is a dragon floating out there and it's...
I can only skim but the incompetence and indifference are shocking. This was clearly a process that had predetermined conclusions and no evidence...

It is 100% an issue of branding. Same as adding the "bio" to psychosocial without changing anything to the substance. They know they have no...
Keep up the pressure so that decades of documented evidence can be used later to get back all the funding that was rightfully (and legally in some...
It may be useful to start dialogue with the other chronic disease charities and organisations about the impact this will have on them. I'm sure...
Surprisingly good comments. This opposition and the fact that the review is happening at all because past objections turned to be entirely...
From my experience the framing is different but it's a distinction without a difference. I wasn't told I was imagining things. I was told there...
That's where I was getting at. Are the guidelines just a suggestion? Certainly not systematically, as you say for "respectable" diseases they are...
It would be really great if they raised concerns about this. Sounds like something they really should be raising concerns about. The NICE...
And yet we have this nonsense: [MEDIA] So, half of half is a success story that is just about the same as 50% success (hardly a glowing success...
It really says a lot about the state of medicine that participants in the series took pains to state that their representation was heavily edited...
If only that was the only problem. It's in addition to allowing non-controlled subjective studies to be arbitrarily considered as somehow having...
Yes. In addition to what we already know about research, which seems to have been about 90%+ wasted on psychosocial research. Regardless of how...
