Sigh... It's always the same. As long as they haven't proven any causal link between these thoughts and the symptoms, this will be pointless.
How does this past the test of peer review? This is more telling aout the current state of "scientific" psychology than anything.
They're part of it in the sense that they tell us, that, maybe, there might be something of interest here. That's all. And all this should be verified with scientific tools.
I've seen hundreds of these theories proposed for ME, based on observation, speculation and self experiment, some...
No but it can wrongly convince a patient that they have CCI, based on nothing of value, and this patient will present this weak evidence to their doctor, and that will not be helpful at all, quite the contrary, it may make them appear irrational and turn their doctor against them. And I see...
Yes, there is a strong problem here that has never been addressed.
CCI/AAI is an official diagnosis, recognised by mainstream medicine. Why do people have to fly to Spain to get treatment?
I've spent my life getting cold after cold since the age of 7/8. During winter, the years prior to te onset, it was often a kind of long, uninterrupted cold.
With all due respect, this doesn't make sense at all.
Rituximab & surgery are not easily accessible treatments. They are both potentialy dangerous and none of them should be advertised as long as they have not been tested properly.
Is there a warning that this treatment has not been tested correctly and patients should wait for more information? No. So it's openly promoting it and it's a shame.
I don't see how lumping all these problems together can bring anything good. This is nonsense. How can Chiari be linked with Lyme, seriously?
We need to subgroup, not regroup. Gathering unrelated disorders can only lead to crap (be it MUS psycho nonsense, or Brea's wild unproven claims).
