Right now, people have already been doing that for decades and they do not have our interests in mind. It's not ideal, but someone always makes the decisions in the end, if those decisions go explicitly against our interests, if the people making those decisions do not have a stake in our...

All science is political. All of it, even more so when it comes to health. It would be amazing if it were above it, but it's not. Scientists and MDs are humans, with all the flaws and nonsense that comes with it. When it comes to medicine, I'd even say that it's more political than scientific...

Similar to Wessely and PACE being his brain-child, having heavily participated in it, but did not put his name anywhere near the published material, then wrote an editorial pretending to be some neutral observer marveling at how great a study it was. Given her role, Crawley should have been a...

Impressive. Old Freudian nonsense. Pushes alternative "holistic healing". Frames it entirely as emotional symptoms in response to distress and conflict. Zero mention of COVID, or how it's such a common Long Covid issue. It even mentions how it's more prevalent these days, how more people are...

Almost annoyed that I can't read it, because wow are the so many layers of wrong. Starting with the word forensic, which is the investigation of a crime. And of course the fact that most forensic "science" has been revealed to be pseudoscience of almost zero validity. Their wild claims of being...

I don't want my emotional needs to be met by clinicians. I could not care less about this, it's not going to happen anyway, this is not what medicine is for. Certainly not as long as they work in a system that is responsible for failing and mistreating us. I also don't care about hearing simple...

So, in a MS clinic, patients suspected to have MS based on having MS-like symptoms without a definitive explanation, 17% of which received an alternative diagnosis, some are found to have MS-like symptoms based on asking them about MS-like symptoms even though the diagnosis cannot be confirmed...

Well, you first have to figure that out, having refused for decades to even try, or even acknowledge that this is a thing that happens to people after infections, even mild ones, and that it's not 'biopsychosocial', or whatever. If you want the result of effort you have to put in the effort...

So, this is a study of care providers using a now defunct guideline who show no useful knowledge of ME, severe or otherwise. So this is by definition only patients who are under someone's care, which is a minority, and they are overseen using a harmful care model that was deprecated between the...

They don't need grants, they're using the intramural fund. So not only are they wasting this funding, they're wasting funding that is supposed to be going to serious research. It's just as insulting as Rosmalen getting funds that were explicitly written to exclude anything psychosomatic. We all...
