We want to argue the merits because we are right but people don't respond to science or common sense (current events for example) so we should change our tactics, start with science and keep going. She is advocating something that claims it can cure cancer by telling patients to believe they...

I'm only able to skim the first part of article at present but reading the first bit made me think of our sleep/cognition problems. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/12/18/571120472/older-adults-forgetfulness-tied-to-faulty-brain-rhythms-in-sleep

Indeed, no matter how many times their lies are laid out for all to see they seem to be made of Teflon :emoji_face_palm: I suspect if they replaced ME/CFS with cancer it would be a very different story...

What are your thoughts on the impaired pyruvate dehydrogenase paper by Fluge/Mella? Do you think there are subsets in ME/CFS, such as those that may or may not respond to Rituximab?

No worries, no harm done

I have no idea :(

I agree, though perhaps we should ask him if he wants to be nominated given the costs/rewards if he wins the poll?

This is a hard one to choose, but i picked Dr Davis because the money would go into research, and he is a scientist who can answer technical ME/CFS questions on air (even better press) :) That said there are many great candidates here, David Tuller was the first name i thought of.

The idea is if we know where it comes form and that its typically reduced in ME/CFS we can try to figure out why and if we come up with some good theories it may help elucidate the disease mechanism of ME/CFS. A long shot but little to lose by trying this angle. I also found it gave some extra...

Interesting, i have tried to look into this without success in the past (when i had some brain power) so now i know it wasn't my inability to concentrate that was keeping me from finding the info, it has not been discovered yet. Also it may help us indirectly because if we know how its produced...

Indeed, this reminds me of this article that i read a while back :emoji_face_palm: https://thinkprogress.org/scientists-avoid-studying-womens-bodies-because-they-get-periods-3fe9d6c39268/

Fair enough, we can't fix every problem, but we could possibly call more attention to ours

Spell check got me :laugh: Fixed

The government of Canada was muzzling scientists so this is not at all unprecedented :emoji_face_palm: It didn't end well but much damage was done I highly doubt that the point is to fight clichés, coming from leaders that are disdainful of science and reality.

I see :( Does anyone have any contacts at a major newspaper, say someone willing to write an article that Ted is protecting quacks?

Can two play this game, can we create an opposing video and put it on TEDx? Any volunteers?

Never if his apologists in the senate can prevent it, they are now reportedly trying to dismiss Mueller's investigation into Trump's treason with Russia. Its amazing that the right cries censorship nonstop when they are the ones practicing it. People voted for alternative facts and they are...

When i came to read this reply i read the thread title as Trial By Terror, which is probably more accurate :emoji_face_palm:

LOL! The title was enough for me :wtf:

I suspect she operates under the "principle" If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit. Reality won't cooperate with their psychological nonsense so distort reality to fit the lies.
