    Resistance To Science and Technology by Julian Vigo (Forbes.com)

    I’ve only had two GPs in the last 15 years and I’ve got along really well with both of them. I think of my current GP as a friend, and I’m pretty sure she would say the same about me. Clearly I’m very special and the rest of you are absolutely horrible people.

    Resistance To Science and Technology by Julian Vigo (Forbes.com)

    Yep, this author appears to be writing in 2005. Perhaps her internet's been down

    (Not a recommendation) (UK) "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Conference: Costs, challenges and practice"

    This. People here and on other forums get improvements after years through all manner of things, or through nothing discernible. If I'd been paying someone £24 a month for a number of years, I'd likely attribute any improvements to their programme, too. And the £24 is just for access to...

    (Not a recommendation) (UK) "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Conference: Costs, challenges and practice"

    I hadn't heard of the Chrysalis Effect before. Looking at the website, it's very reminiscent of the LP, even down to the 'independent practitioner' structure, which relieves the organisation of any real accountability. Total BS throughout, and implied claims of understanding the causes of...

    Evidence Week - Sense About Science

    Yep, see https://johnthejack.com/2016/10/17/sense-about-science-the-pace-trial-and-me/ Sense about Science UK grew out of the ex-Living Marxism lot with a nice track record of climate change 'skepticism' and strong, sometimes familial, links to the SMC, Institute of Ideas, Frank Furedi etc etc...

    Great interview: "From Fit Nurse To ME Warrior"

    Yikes, someone should tell her it isn't the promised land. In fairness, for someone in a country with zero acknowledgement of ME, looking at the OHI's website might feel like it's exactly that. That website is odd. The guy running it wants to help you "become the alpha in your life that you are...

    Recovery of Repressed Memories in Fibromyalgia Patients Treated With Hyperbaric Oxygen, 2018, Lev-Wiesel et al

    Yes, we're lucky everyone in the field has too much integrity for that. This is kind of intriguing, though, isn't it. As others have said, it would be interesting to know if this happens regardless of why the person is in the HBOT. It doesn't seem too farfetched that being locked in a steel box...

    “It Has Come to My Attention…” How Institutional Complaints Procedures are Being Weaponized (article in Quillette)

    Oh, yes. I'm in the midst of a highly illuminating experience here, involving one of our major UK utilities. After fully 6 months of going round and round in the circle of hell of their "Customer Service" department, costing me a huge amount of time and frustration, someone on Reddit the other...

    “It Has Come to My Attention…” How Institutional Complaints Procedures are Being Weaponized (article in Quillette)

    So people end up on welfare because they're slovenly and disagreeable? Wow. There was that old music hall song: It's the same the whole world over It's the poor what gets the blame It's the rich what gets the pleasure Ain't it all a bloomin' shame? Quite

    “It Has Come to My Attention…” How Institutional Complaints Procedures are Being Weaponized (article in Quillette)

    "Adam Perkins is a Lecturer in the Neurobiology of Personality at Kings College" I pity his students. Although presumably if they miss a lecture they can just watch an hour of Fox News to make up for it

    CDC responds to false SMC factsheet claim

    They actually published that? Good grief, it's like dealing with Orwell's Ministry of Truth

    What’s really behind ‘gluten sensitivity’?

    One thing I don't think the article mentions is that the gluten content of wheat, in particular, has been greatly increased over the last 50 years or so by selective breeding and genetic modification. This makes life much easier for industrial bakers but may come at a cost. The Wiki page on...

    Psychogenic fever: how psychological stress affects body temperature in the clinical population (Oka 2015)

    thanks :-) I would tweet it, but as my Twitter account has one follower (an economist — I don't know how that happened) it would be like printing it out and hiding it under a rock.

    Psychogenic fever: how psychological stress affects body temperature in the clinical population (Oka 2015)

    From the Annals of Psychological Medicine: I must write of a most compelling case, brought to my doorstep by my good friend Arbuthnot just this month past. The patient presented with a strange lassitude, malaise and some manner of fever. A thorough investigation with sphygmomanometer and...

    Could robots be counselors? Early research shows positive user experience

    Crude stuff. What we need is Artificial Intelligence, not robots. i.e. the people programming the robot have already decided what’s desirable and how the task should be performed. 'perceived as'. The whole value of where we're going with technology now is that is IS non-judgmental, not that...
