They are not going to be able to arbitrarily re-define their way out of the deep slippery hole they have spent decades on furiously digging themselves into.

'We need to standardise our propaganda.' :thumbsdown:

I am not going to waste my time reading yet another piece of recycled crap. But I will bet he did not address the matter of adequately distinguishing correlation v. causation, of cause v. consequence. Once again this horseshit tells us far more about what is going on in the author's psyche than...

Anybody who thinks a tiny amount of a chemical cannot have much effect on your mind and body should try 25 micrograms of pure LSD and a tenth of a microgram of lovely fresh warm polonium 210.

One of the very few useful management tools for me is not having to adhere to a fixed sleep cycle. Contrary to the psycho-behavioural view of 'sleep hygiene', being able to rest/nap/sleep whenever I need to is pretty helpful – indeed necessary. My sleep pattern is fairly stable now days and of...

Yep. Independent of whether it has long-term benefits for the underlying disease process*, it is still worth it for the short-term benefits of simply not feeling as shitty now, and usually, as that patient gets better at it over time, being able to function at least somewhat better at practical...

Not sure that is correct. (Not a criticism of biomedicine, as such. More a comment on them never being given a solid run at doing so.)

The real story here, of course, is how unbelievably restrained the victims are under some of the most dishonest and cruel, and sometimes lifelong, provocations and abuses that can be dished out by medical authorities and the broader governance system that benefits from it and protects them from...

Same old shit. Very slightly different packaging.

Feels to me more like a problem with trying to use energy. The difference between a battery not being charged, and it being charged but there being a break in the cable connecting it to the rest of the circuit.

And the payback is greater.

The basic principle of BPS is nothing more than the foundational scientific principle of taking into account all relevant significant causal factors to explain a phenomenon. It is a truism that nobody could object to. It is not a justification for unproven claims about causation within that...

RFK Jr has just fired the entire CDC vaccine advisory panel, stating that he wants to reestablish public trust in the health system. That would be the trust he spent his life doing a comprehensive smear and demolition job on. Will probably appoint Andrew Wakefield as the replacement for the...

Not exactly covering themselves with glory so far, are they.

It is not patients who are behaving like anti-vaxxers.

Long COVID is best considered as a group of infection associated conditions requiring developing research studies and treatment trials that address the inherent heterogeneity. I think we just don't know enough to be confident about that. I don't see a fatal flaw with the alternative...

To qualify my previous comment a bit. I do find some heat (particularly a hot shower) good for relaxing and soothing aching muscles. But it can be draining if you overdo it. It is a balancing act.

Interesting. I had not heard of this. Thanks.

Excellent article. Thank you. :) Because if they did they would be opening themselves to massive lawsuits. They know that. They do not have the courage of their convictions. It is bluff and bluster, and arrogance and dishonesty, and cowardice all the way down. As always. ––––––––– Find...

That is what happens when patients are better informed about the tripe you are selling.
