Objective outcome measures and full transparency of methodology, or it is just a cruel fraud.

Very annoyed and concerned at PEM being so blatantly misinterpreted and misappropriated. This is not good, and could well set us back a long way. :mad: (Not suggesting Jason & Johnson are doing it, but it is clearly starting to happen more generally.)

The fact that medicine had to start promoting an 'evidence based' approach is the problem. What were they doing before?

Elimination (not eradication) within geo-political regions is certainly possible. If a government can control its country's borders, then it can eliminate the virus within those borders. Until a vaccine is available (and there is no guarantee of that) then the longer term social and economic...

Second donation done. :thumbup: 5 days left. $35 680 from 424 donors = 89% of $40 000 goal Looking good. :)

Is there even a single study from the BPS school that makes a genuine attempt to test the deconditioning assumption?

The present study highlights the assumption that functional somatic syndromes (FSS) have much in common Did they test the validity of that assumption? Because that is what they should be doing.

What secondary benefits? Is it the poverty? The lack of career, social interaction, relationships, achieving your life's goals? The truly shitty physical symptoms? The endless humiliation and degradation and terror (and that is the right word) that society seems almost eager to inflict upon us...

That is literally all there is to it. Circular definition-based reasoning. And they wonder why we get a bit peeved at them?

I would have thought the government would be the appropriate target, not the supermarkets.

Megalomania is incurable.

Properly qualified charlatans.

Sorry, no. I have not actually tried that one.

Not sure why soap/detergent cannot be safely rinsed off fruit and veg. They are water soluble. It is only a question of how much rinsing is required. Though no doubt some F&V are easier to rinse than others. Apples or pumpkins should be easy enough, but Brussels sprouts might be a bit trickier...
