Well, yeah, the CFQ is known to be lousy like this. Exactly for the purpose of giving a false positive even when there's nothing, it's what it was invented for. So at best, this study has to be redone, competently this time. Otherwise this is useless. Using useless tools and assessments give...

We're number 1! We're number 1! Here you can distinctly see the difference a biomedical does compared to a psychosomatic one: The difference? Literally everything. It's the difference between success and locked-in failure.

Medicine: let's combat medical misinformation Also medicine: here's a bunch of medical misinformation It's the absolute confidence in bullshitting that is defeating. Nothing that they say has any validity, but they express it with the same confidence, bravado even, as the validated stuff. This...

And the difference is... ? Sometimes they just say the quiet part out loud. And again. "Neutral" as a way of saying "BS" without admitting so. When you have to lie to sick people, you are wrong. Full stop. It's never right to do this. Never has, never will. So much for duty of candor. Still...

Yup. This is a good example of how not to apply AI: trying to do the same thing, but with AI. AI changes what can be done entirely, as radically as the old paper-and-post mail system is from modern instant messaging and social networking. Simply reading from academic/official sources is not the...

Having used the excuse of giving a veto to authors on retraction, that ship has sailed and sunk a long time ago.

It's been interesting seeing the criticism laid out against psychedelics within the mental health professions, all fair and valid, considering that it applies at least as much as, well, literally everything they do. For sure all the psychosomatic stuff is even worse, and it's super popular...

Nope. In fact most studies show the opposite. People have been saying this, without any basis, but that's a very different thing. It was an assumption, a bad one, and something experts shouldn't ever be doing. Medicine has been recently challenging physical sciences, especially fluid dynamics...

Posts moved from Long Covid in the media. Long Covid Help Gets Funding Push From Biden HHS, Lawmakers https://news.bloomberglaw.com/health-law-and-business/long-covid-help-gets-funding-push-from-biden-hhs-lawmakers Hundreds of millions of dollars would go toward efforts to diagnose and treat...

Waiting for the trial where they literally test all of them all at once. The treatment? Literally every imaginable treatment, all at the same time. Because, truly, the one thing missing from a generic model is to make it even more generic. For sure that's the flaw, it's just not generic enough.

The whole "well-designed" is a classic No true Scotsman fallacy. What does it even mean? There have been many hundreds, in addition to likely above a million clinical applications of the very same model. A process that doesn't record any meaningful data, making any accountability impossible...

I don't think that false promises count here. There is wide gap between what the BPS model pretends to be, and what it actually is and delivers. The gap is the whole of reality. For sure, anyone would want what it promises to deliver. What the BPS model pretends is nothing but a bunch of false...

First, what is a psychiatric disorder would have to be defined. And it isn't, it's arbitrary and capricious. It invariably has the meaning of having to do with the brain, the organ itself, or basically anything and everything, or even the blatant logical fallacy of "we don't know what this is...

Stalling. Clearly zero intention of doing anything. What a terrible organization, but sadly not that especially bad compared to the rest. These institutions are completely removed from reality, as removed as the most walled-off aristocracy has ever been. All palace intrigue and politics behind...

I don't really think it deserves its own thread, it's a garbage "study" not worthy of discussion. But there is... this: Trust in sources of information on COVID-19 at the beginning of the pandemic's first wave and incident persistent symptoms in the population-based CONSTANCES cohort: A...
