The dumbening of medical science continues. I'm really looking forward to this fantastically professional group of intrepid researchers puzzling...
They will never allow an independent reanalysis for that reason. Furthermore, that's not how any of this works. Scientists can't cherry-pick...
And that weight outside the UK is basically nil. That's the problem with mutual admiration societies. As soon as you step out of the circle jerk,...
Quite relevant to this discussion about Wessely's absurd claims about war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan being less dangerous than interacting with...
That's an odd choice considering you can barely whack around a pool noodle without hitting dozens of non-psychiatric chronic pain patients...
That "connection" is that most MCS patients will be wrongly given a misdiagnosis of anxiety instead or being properly diagnosed. That's not a...
A valid concern but scientists doing science the "old way" are not connected to some deeper level of reality, they use data with the same flaws...
:giggle: I'm not sure which book but it's from Franz Alexander, supposedly the "father of psychosomatic medicine". Trying to find a good link and...

Well, yeah. They do. There is no evidence for any of it. So the best they can do is "may be", "could be" and so on. That's all this body of...
It's pretty much whatever anyone wants it to be. It's all untestable so any idea is as good as any other. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's both!...
Snark can be cathartic. It doesn't help, but it still feels good. If there's any place for that it's here :)
Odds of that person being willing to put this idea to a test on themselves: 0. Odds of that person finding that this idea really works on...
TIL Harvard Med Ed is now a subsidiary of goop.com.
The reply doesn't address anything. It just describes their flaws drily and says there's no problem there because they don't see the flaws as a...
Old myths die hard. This was basically the original myth: bored upper middle-class housewife affliction. Confirmation bias at its best.
This. But the exact opposite.
Not much. It's just that most of the easy problems have been solved, those that can revolutionize science overnight by chance. Most of scientific...
