24 health professionals, including Wyller, Fors, Reme and other known names from the biopsychosocial brigade have written a response. They seem rather furious. Debatten om ME er IKKE over! google translation: The debate about ME is NOT over! There is no professional disagreement that changes...

This was very good. My impression it that this is the first time the journalist is covering ME, and he's really done his homework! ETA: Thank you for warning about the loud music in the start!

Thank you! That helped me find this summary of a talk by dr. Harsha Master from the Royal College of General Practitioners annual conference 2021 with more details of how they work: https://www.rosecottagedoc.co.uk/post/red-flags-in-long-covid

She explains a bit more at 30 minutes into the podcast. I was not able to work out the name she uses for this model, perhaps someone else can. Developed by a dr. Master?

Fantastic opinion piece in the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten by the professors Ola Didrik Saugstad and Rolf Rønning. They start with sharing the news about the NICE guideline, and then provide some history (as Wessely, the psychosomatic approach), present research into ME, how ME patients...

good question. This is a google translation of the argumentation from the LP association from Nina E. Steinkopf's article: The decision was based on the LP association's view on the matter: “LP must be regarded as a teaching activity where stress-regulating and performance-enhancing knowledge...

Nina E. Steinkopf with interesting news from Norway. The Norwegian Directorate of Health and the Consumer Ombudsman defined LP coaches as practitioners of alternative treatment in 2018. This year, LP coaches asked the Norwegian Directorate of Health to review that definition. The Directorate...

From twitter. Sharpe criticises Kunst for getting a thread about lack of evidence behind GET/CBT wrong:

Dr. Phil Hammond has now read the guideline:

Here's an article from 2004 where it states that 100 people still felt fatigued after having contracted the Giardia parasite in the outbreak in Bergen in 2004. Over 20 of them got diagnosed with ME according to same article and the researchers wanted to study ME as part of this. google...
