I agree, it is important that this is being aired at Parliamentary level by someone new. Considering that the article has to be short and reach a wide audience I think it is probably ver useful. On the other hand I am also disappointed that the advocacy style still seems to be stuck in this...

David and I will be in town that week. But it looks as if it would be quite hard for members of the public to get involved (it seems you have to ask your MP to take you). Moreover, this looks like an orgy of lowest common denominator propaganda. I doubt there would be any point in going along...

What are you referring to as CIC's? If you are meaning immune complexes then circulating immune complexes do not themselves cause inflammation but immune complexes in the extravascular space, which may be derived from circulation, can do, via binding to Ig Fc receptors and stimulating cytokine...

Yes, I remember we discussed all this and your letter now. It all seems more egregious a second time around when we have Sharpe denying such a thing is possible. The minutes on their own are perhaps not so surprising when we have Horton flagellating himself for not marketing the Wakefield paper...

Like 'Usage tomato and Isage tomAto? Sorry, it just came into my head somehow.

I assume so: @Lucibee ?

Certainly it is very paradigm-challenging to learn that the thing that works to remediate some other conditions causes harm in the context of this one. I think Mike Godwin is showing his lack of expertise here a bit. Just because the daily papers keep banging on about exercise being good for us...

An editor will always need to carefully select the person who writes the editorial. So no... But on the other hand if the editor is jointly agreeing the 'PR exercise' with the authors, probably yes - if the paper has not yet been refereed that is.

Kno idea.

Oops! Worse than oops in fact.

It seems that there is a technical definition of 'clinical equipoise' in relation to trials which boils down to the idea that you should only test two options in a trial if the expert community is genuinely undecided about which is best. I am not sure what this has to do with the minutes usage...

It looks like a series of disconnected statements with a couple of grammatical errors to me. Presumably they thought that standard medical care should not include treatments that had been claimed to have an effect on CFS, even if without formal evidence. Which seems to imply that standard...

Can you be more explicit, or possibly extend to a Limerick?

Superheroine.

Maybe Dr Sharpe should figure out that when several thousand nerdy internet geeks have focused in on his research efforts it is highly likely that a handful of those are more intelligent than him and/or know more about the subject than him. (In fact these people have demonstrated these talents...

Oh dear. We need some superhuman member to log all these on to permanent media. I am hopeless at this. (OK I am lazy, but I have come to realise I cannot do anything about that.) Lots of gems here would be useful for my little notebook but I am distracted by having to sell my mother's flat and...

The blurb does try quite hard to cover all the problems with CBT and GET but I am left wondering in what capacity this advice is really being given. Is this a quasi-governmental advice service toeing the official line? Is it a charity honestly telling patients what it thinks is best advice? It...

Yes, does the forum software save them? I might well want to go back to them in due course.

Complete tripe I am afraid. We know that people with RA feel fatigued when they have inflammation in joints and other tissues like pericardium. We know that is predominantly mediated by TNF and IL-6. If you block the cytokines or remove the B cells that trigger the cytokines to be produced the...

This is why their is an important difference for me. Fear of spiders is fear of a nasty feeling that you know has no long term consequence and have reason to think might go away if you practiced being with spiders. We all see children overcoming fears all the time and as adults we overcome fears...
