I'm with you on that. I hate that raisin exercise.
There is very little here that unpicks why this is problematic. It is descriptive 'Paul Garner says this, SIRPA says this' but nothing about why...
Except in the case of M.E, there is (as yet) no objective evidence of actual disease. There is no biomarker, right? Real symptoms, yes. Disease, no.
Many thousands of scientists disagree with you on this, though. Pain is a warning system but a bit of a primitive one. It's job is to warn you...
That's a shame given the thousands of people reporting the brain retraining has helped them improve or recover from M.E. To my mind, it means it...
Have you ever seen this? Kind of cool, right. And it shows beliefs can indeed bring about symptoms. [MEDIA]
In the world of brain retraining, this makes sense though. You had some symptoms. The brain gets the message it isn't safe (because symptoms...
I think this is a really fair point. My answer would be that when you go through brain retraining, you start to spot certain signs in things...
I am repeating myself but not currently. No. And that is a problem, but I don't personally believe a brain retraining study would be allowed to go...
Are you aware they have helped literally thousands of people to recover? I simply wouldn't have recovered if it wasn't for them. That doesn't...
If you reread my post, you'll hopefully see me say you can get your head around the basics in a few days. It's just that that's the basics and...
CBT and brain retraining have some key differences. In fact, brain retraining incorporates some CBT in it but there is lots to it beyond that. I...
Sorry, I realised I missed this. I acknowledge that many come out of doing the LP feeling worse. I am not a fan of it. These things aren't black...
This is my first time using the multiquote function, so I hope I've got it right. I'm sorry but I don't want to do that. However, I can promise...
Ok I am back and am going to try to respond to as much as I can. Do you accept that - that lots of people will recover, whether they jump on...
Just a quick post to say I'm not ignoring the responses, I'm just very busy today but will be back to reply. Thanks.
*This is not biological science. I am intrigued as to why you should think it is* Because of my lived experience of recovery, is a large part of...
You've read the blurb and it looks like pseudoscience? Is that where you are leaving this? What about 'The Immune Mind?' Because you are entitled...
Moved posts As a recovered person I'm really confused to read this here. This is not correct. I'm sure there are doctors who think this but if...
Hi, I'm new here. I've been lurking for a while. I hope to contribute to other discussions over time. I used to have M.E (for many years). I don't...
