Old wine in the same old bottle. Always the same old wine in the same old model. At what point should it be pointed out that it's either insane or pathological level of lying to endlessly present the exact same thing with the same label and pretending it's not the exact same thing every single...

I guess that by having the healthcare system send them clients they don't need to advertise and as we sadly know, BS claims without evidence are A-OK in medicine, or at least some are, immune from that ruling.

Not sure if the FDA but yes this is a recent change, for anyone living in the US, you now have full access to your medical records without restrictions or conditions. This is very recent, as in in recent weeks. It's technically supposed to be friction-free, no need to justify anything. Edit...

I'm guessing they don't mean CBT & GET here, or the excessive amounts of psychoactive drugs they are forcing down on us, but I am baffled as to what else they could possibly mean, since there is nothing else happening and this is obviously not our responsibility anyway. Seems like there's a lot...

Very abnormal to frame a hypothesis as a fact in the abstract. Because of course it's not a hypothesis, it's an assumption asserted as fact that is the starting point, a conclusion in search of evidence. Most of the assertions are fully speculative, how in the hell can anyone seriously claim...

It's probably not worth doing it alone. In my case literally impossible with brain fog. This would be a very smart thing to do with the right supervision, in a program meant to learn and produce useful knowledge with scientific rigor and very careful record-keeping. Unfortunately, we can't...

It's absurd that it doesn't seem to bother anyone how this fits in perfectly with the Goop crowd with healing crystals and whatever, that the BPS model is clearly and unambiguously alternative medicine. The death of expertise, at the hands of experts, funded with public money. Good grief.

No, it's not. Not even a bit. This is my expertise. 50 years ago? Yeah, annoying and technically fraught with time-consuming labor. Today? It's trivial. Zero difficulty here. The difficulty here is entirely human, political. See? Zero technical difficulties mentioned here. And the second to...

It's annoying how this fact is so rarely pointed out. Most of the risks people insure themselves against, some of them at a cost of hundreds or even thousands per year, are far less likely than the risk of Long Covid, which people technically pay nothing to insure themselves against. Risk of...

In other words: putting the scale out of reach of hands make them less likely to tip the scale whenever convenient. It's wild that this will either be ignored, or be very controversial. Because removing the ability of researchers to influence outcomes of their experiments would mean the end of...

It's often said as a joke but this is basically saying "water is wet" but being unable to process what it means. Amazing. And I see that they are now moving on to calling this a syndrome, a generic, vague list of issues medicine has yet to understand. And they are pretending that it's all one...

Monaghan and Strain seem like a bit of progress. I still don't trust them one bit.

Sometimes the comments tell the story better than the article. It's easy to see why little progress is happening considering how much ignorance and indifference there is to what is obviously a taboo subject. A little knowledge can be very dangerous in the wrong hands. And it's frankly becoming...

Relationships, uh? I remember the concept. In the before time. No more. That's how it affected my relationships. No more and with no end in sight, thanks to this dystopian nightmare. Probably without the discrimination and pseudoscience it would have been OK. But the discrimination and lies...

I'm not really sure it can be said that Long Covid has actually helped people suffering from Long Covid. It's pretty obvious that the exact same dynamic is happening: those who recover, recover naturally, and those who don't are thrown down the same trash chute they send us. There is still just...

Continuing the same tradition that was in effect with us, Internet trolls are pretty much all about those 3, the same as deniers in the medical profession: spares the self-employed (sealions about employment status), vaccination status (denial of LC by the medical profession has lead to...

Actually, professionals should work on professional stuff. Providing "empathy" and "validation" is not the stuff expected of professionals and, sadly, they cannot do this anyway. "Hopes and dreams" medicine is just as useless as "thoughts and prayers" medicine. From his comments on Twitter...

Mine too but when I mentioned it to my GP she dismissed it saying it's probably my salivary glands. I'm not sure how much better it would be but looking at pictures of swollen lymph nodes it seems spot on. Mine are almost always pretty hard and tender. I don't think this information is often...

Bendt went from chief physician to failed patient: 'It's some damned bullshit' https://www.bt.dk/samfund/bendt-gik-fra-overlaege-til-svigtet-patient-det-er-noget-forbandet-svineri In Denmark, the National Board of Health recommends graduated exercise and cognitive behavioral therapy as part of...

Yeah, it's almost like the symptoms of infectious illness are common to infectious illnesses, or something like that. This conflicts with the algorithm of mental illness which nowadays essentially consists of: the common symptoms of illness. But if there's one thing a forest looks like, it's...
