He has been discussed at length on the forum. He's a one-man paper mill, and I wouldn't trust that anything he writes is of value.

Yeah, the submission took a while for me. And they don't give confirmation, except the green message. Hopefully they add it after Christmas.

She could at least tag Phil Parker as the creator of this brainwashing experiment.

Garner has just posted this video about the trial.

I think this is just a copy of a Reuters article from a month ago: https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/many-long-covid-patients-adjust-slim-recovery-odds-world-moves-2024-11-14/

I suffer with noctural bruxism, and have done for at least six years. I have written about it here on other threads. There is no cure. There are certain things you can do to help lessen the issue. Minimizing stress is probably up there, because often this is related to stress. You should also...

Does anyone have access to this?

Does anyone know anything about getting this funded — a proposal in the works, for example?

Yes, I looked up the author and she is a PhD student. Her co-authors — some of whom will likely be her PhD supervisors — should be making sure the paper is not littered with trivial, and more important, mistakes. They should have raised concerns with the journal that Reviewer 1 wasn't doing...

Oh dear. This is one of the two peer-reviews, if you can call it that.

"Given that fatigue is such a core component of PESE and long while PESE is not a type of fatigue in itself, in the studies that we have found here, it is often being used in, it is often being used as a measure of fatigue." Are you telling me 7 co-authors and 2 or 3 reviewers have read this...

I thought they were inventing a new thing for a second, but it's another typo. Quite a bad one too. I really wish co-authors and reviewers would read the paper in front of them.

Well, this grammar does not inspire confidence. Does anyone read the first line of the abstract these days?

I do not know how formal the rapid response system is. Is it expected that the authors respond?

There's also another new, critical response from someone who seems to work in clinical evidence synthesis and medical statistics: https://www.bmj.com/content/387/bmj-2024-081318/rr-4

@ME/CFS Skeptic's excellent response has now been published: https://www.bmj.com/content/387/bmj-2024-081318/rr-5

I have to admit: I did not have ultrasound-assisted preparation of sweet corn cob polysaccharide selenium nanoparticles on my bingo card.

Another excellent takedown. I hope you can work with David and others to make sure all of this gets back to the editor.

Jumping on this thread to say that on Monday evening I had onset of what feels like it might be BPPV. I was just led in bed watching Masterchef and I sat up or got up to the toilet and had the spinning room sensation. I guess it was more vertigo than dizziness. I thought I'd just go to sleep...

Not one mention of ME/CFS, CFS, or even 'chronic fatigue' — just one instance of 'chronic post-viral syndrome.' At this point it's deliberate ignorance and obfuscation.
