That's an important point to make. Repeating the most factual things in particular too. Such as Camelford. Those need direct repetition. I'm pretty sure I'd add the Maudsley and their philosophy type groups etc to the list because I can often feel that influence in some of the more unusual...

Oh I'm aware of its original intention in Darwin's actual writing but where I saw it most quoted of recent years was indeed wrong-usage e.g. in newspaper comment sections from people from certain ideologies used just as you note: to infer probably best to let the weakest struggle etc. It's a...

Am I right in thinking he is the one behind ‘the selfish gene’ book which pushes the idea of Darwinism survival of the fittest, being selfish good, type thing?

Key epidemiological factors like what? Being girls has been one cited by his ilk so I’ll assume that but interested to know if he’s bothered with any others?

Indeed and certainly with time. But there is also the e.g. holding a phone is OK then arm begins shaking as those muscles get tired. As this seems to recover somewhat enough that phone can then be held again at another point in the future it is interesting if this is being studied separately. I...

and that we don't know what symptoms are 'rolling PEM' or being above threshold in the 'perform but don't do yourself much good' zone vs are what .. constant something or other .. unless we have a way of really knowing when PEM actually ends. For all we know, as we eventually even if just for...

I haven't read the whole thing but can't imagine that this study was done without the individuals with most of the conditions being on their medications, and certainly they would have been on these for the years before (which tends to be where any differences will take place). So how on earth...

Thanks - will give it a try

googling (as couldn't open full text) found the following which I don't know whether is of interest or too much of a sidebar. https://www.meresearch.org.uk/research/ach-review/ full paper about a page scroll down. it is from not long after this paper and is pulling together this with other 'of...

I'm no expert in this area so would only be a second pair of eyes trying to use common sense and maths, but the link to the full text doesn't open for me so I don't know whether that is the same for others who might have more answers. I don't know whether there are more clues re: the y-axis that...

I hope that didn't come across as a 'you should have' , but it is useful to contextualise any methods or results whatever the subject area in the spirit of wanting to one day put the big picture together of these things. That's why I said it is a difficult job: PEM's going to be a tricky one...

I agree that studying PEM properly needs to be one of the priority areas. And definitely that it needs to be for more than 3 days (particularly as I can't imagine a set-up where all paricipants might be guaranteed to not have PEM re-triggered at some point e.g. from noisy or uncomfortable...

Indeed, I am imagine as usual for these things from this area it will all be very back-to-front where the misinformation is information and what they call facts is misinformation. When people note these groups and individuals are closer to populist politicians I do have to agree. I suspect...

yep it’s a weird delusional claim that has been pushed by the psychosomatic school to persuade bystanders they aren’t the ones who have self-interest but it’s those who might disagree with them who are biased. god knows how bad a bystander you have to be to try and pretend you are persuaded of...

and is sold as a first point of call diagnosis by certain individuals for whatever % they get away with quota-ing to the gatekeepers as 'you should be seeing and diagnosing'

The CAC committee - catchy and coming from a background of marketing I find their choice of the term 'consumer' and 'advisory' insightful. Demonstrates they see a third party relationship (marketing to others who might persuade the 'consumer' they have to do x based on 'apparently Paul said it...

Nope sadly as someone with an actual psychology degree I've watched as people from any other background than scientific psychology has decided to wonder themselves into coaching or 'brainwashing techniques' (CBT is just a delivery mechanism and someone with a qual in that isn't qualified to know...

Precisely it. And only gets worse because you'd have to be self-flagellating given the requirement for literature reviews etc to, even if you could produce research that required 10x the time given (because timescales have been tallied to doing not-proper designs), you'd have few other papers to...

Yes, psychosomatic was only 'under' the field of scientific psychology on the basis of it being one area that needed to be 'audited' and kept to standards, not because it is actually psychology. It, in a way is like if Criminology as a field was instead written by those who were criminals...

Yes interesting to have the full list. Or alternatively we can take one from the psychiatry list and define the 'they think this exists, rather than admit it is their own bigotry' syndrome suffered by all those who believe this: and just call this billions and billions of pounds/dollars etc...
