    David Tuller: Trial By Error: “Talk is Cheap,” Patients Tell NIH

    I would like to see all the different research groups working together more. They all seem to have access to relatively small amounts of funding for part funding their own projects. If they liaised more, it could speed up the process, help eliminate any 'dead ends', and reinforce areas that...

    Persistent fatigue induced by interferon-alpha: A novel, inflammation-based, proxy model of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 2018, Pariante et al

    as pointed out he has ties to SW; they have also worked together. I found a link to the info I alluded to in an earlier post: " Dr Carmine Pariante has received Funds for a member of staff and funds for research. Professor Pariante’s research on depression and inflammation is supported by...

    Persistent fatigue induced by interferon-alpha: A novel, inflammation-based, proxy model of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 2018, Pariante et al

    It tells us how he got it promoted, but I'm not sure it completely tells us why. So my question still stands, about CP, and Wesselys/SMC motives for promoting him and this particular research.

    Bateman Horne Center Online Education Series, 2018

    I have watched a few of them and found them quite heavy going (I'm not sure exactly who the target audience are) and there was a lot of emphasis on Fibromyalgia which got confusing at times. Also in the bit on ME/CFS diagnostic criteria she didn't (as far as I can recall) mention the ICC which...

    Persistent fatigue induced by interferon-alpha: A novel, inflammation-based, proxy model of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 2018, Pariante et al

    Before all this hype, CP was maybe only a small blip on the radar. But now we have to question why the SMC has promoted this study and CP so much. The last time they did this was with Crawley and the LP study and Crawley has repeatedly claimed that CBT 'changes biology'. It would be good to...

    Persistent fatigue induced by interferon-alpha: A novel, inflammation-based, proxy model of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 2018, Pariante et al

    from last year see this post; https://www.s4me.info/threads/jeremy-vine-bbc-radio2-discussions.2042/#post-72259 the program is now on Youtube and features Carmine Pariante (for background) (also, I can't find the link but I think that some of the funding for this research was used to fund one...

    Persistent fatigue induced by interferon-alpha: A novel, inflammation-based, proxy model of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 2018, Pariante et al

    But from his interviews it appears he thinks everything is 'physical'; that's one of the problems with the (B)PS lot, they twist language as it suits them.

    The Psychologist: "Does psychology face an exaggeration crisis?", article by Brian Hughes

    "Further inflation inflects from the interface of academia, public relations, media churnalism, and secondary reporting. When university press officers convert abstracts into press releases, the process frequently involves cherry-picking of results, non-specialist re-writing, and a sanguine...

    'Widespread and dangerous': Facing medical uncertainty, some doctors tell patients it's all in their heads CNN

    Peter White did not accept that pwME/CFS could have paralysis; see RSM conference 2008 on this thread https://www.s4me.info/threads/me-videos.1030/#post-17495

    Persistent fatigue induced by interferon-alpha: A novel, inflammation-based, proxy model of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 2018, Pariante et al

    I thought this too; with the interviewer emphasising that CP is Prof of Biological Psychiatry. This research appears to be their answer to the call for more biological research into ME and on the surface it sounds as though it is. By openly criticising it feeds into the 'militant minority...

    Persistent fatigue induced by interferon-alpha: A novel, inflammation-based, proxy model of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 2018, Pariante et al

    I don't know if anyone else picked up that on the Radio 4 interview he uses 'chronic fatigue syndromes' plural.

    Dr Karl Morten - UK researcher based at Oxford University

    Does any of this tie in with Ron Davis' teams work? (ie serum test/mystery molecule etc). As much of the OMF stuff is not published I wonder if Dr Morten has watched any of the OMF presentations? (he didn't pronounce Fluge right which makes me wonder if he has only read papers, but I could be...

    I've just done a transcript (getting to be a habit this) of Pariantes interview on Radio 4; quite different from the one with @JohnTheJack .
