The Daily Mail: Findings of chronic fatigue study `not reliable´ No mention of the SMC 'facts'. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-5532233/Findings-chronic-fatigue-study-not-reliable.html

Well, that is a lie, because the type of CBT tested in the PACE trial has nothing to do with the CBT that helps people coping when suffering from other illnesses. From their protocol: We must fight against this normalisation of their CBT, try to prevent them from sweeping the false illness...

SMC's Expert reaction to reanalysis of the PACE trial for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) treatments They've had trouble finding people supporting Sharpe and co. Jon Stone's comment is not really over enthusiastic. But still standing by his colleagues (and protecting his own business)...

They're not giving up yet... Don't know why they're doing that right now. Could it have something to do with the paper to be released in the next days? (meaning they're freaking out?) http://www.sciencemediacentre.org/cfsme-the-illness-and-the-controversy/ And still the same good old bullshit...

If they were to read more than the spin abstract, they could reach this part of the text, written by the PACE authors themselves, admitting null results for their therapies: "There was little evidence of differences in outcomes between the randomised treatment groups at long-term follow-up."...

So, young people cheat with accelerometers, but Crawley doesn't see why they would do so with questionnaires... OK.

I don't know if Holgate is a BPS hardliner, because he says one thing and then the contrary, asks for more biomedical research and then praises Crawley's FITNET trial as "high quality research". Maybe the CMRC will transform into a useful organisation under Ponting's lead. Nonetheless...
