    Buzzfeed News - A Controversial Therapy For ME Has Led To Claims Of Death Threats, Harassment, And Pseudoscience

    Very well done :) That is a great idea though, Make Ester more famous so her house of cards receives more scrutiny and more weight pushing down on her lies. It seems more publicity is really the answer for ME/CFS research, Jen is awesome!

    Let's talk wheelchairs and mobility scooters

    I saw someone using this a while back, i asked him about it and it looks very impressive and he was very happy with it, It is pricey though :( (but should need no car upgrades to transport) https://www.travelscoot.com/

    Buzzfeed News - A Controversial Therapy For ME Has Led To Claims Of Death Threats, Harassment, And Pseudoscience

    I am reminded of someone who said if Republicans claimed the earth is flat the media would report it as, Is the earth flat or round, both sides have a point.

    Insecure Attachment and Unexplained Illness, A therapist's map - 21 April 2018

    Insecure attachment is a real thing, its connection to illness, i'm just going to facepalm now instead of ranting :emoji_face_palm:

    Esther Crawley

    It depends, when dealing with "classic" abusers its been found they often escalate their abuses out of "fear" and justify it as they are the ones being persecuted by those they are abusing, as if its a dog eat dog world, on some level their actions show how terrible the world is to them hence...

    The Courier Mail: Australian scientists prove CFS is real and have discovered a test for it

    I'm not saying they are the only ones, i used them as an example of a more reputable team (and i acknowledge their faults), but there are others to choose from, and some that i would not choose like this Australian one. I would like to see more good scientists then we have today come into ME/CFS...

    (Not a recommendation) Alastair Miller on CFS

    I wouldn't be so sure, they probably complain less because they got frustrated and gave up trying to get treatment. Suffering in silence may be a positive outcome to those who don't offer much else :emoji_face_palm:

    The Courier Mail: Australian scientists prove CFS is real and have discovered a test for it

    I keep saying i agree, i just don't like this repeated grandiose claim Australian team but i get blowback from that view. If they do discover a treatment i will recant and sing their praises I would like to put this to bed personally, i don't like how this team does things, its a consequenceless...

    The Courier Mail: Australian scientists prove CFS is real and have discovered a test for it

    I keep saying i agree, we need many groups working on this, we don't know who will strike paydirt. But my unpopular view is that we should scrutinize who we support when there is so little money to go around. Fortunately for everyone who disagrees my view is not the one followed.

    Unrest gets a mention in "The best documentries of 2017" @ Vox

    Its a long article, most of it having nothing to do with ME/CFS, but quoted https://www.vox.com/2017-in-review/2017/12/27/16808872/best-documentaries-2017-post-truth-fiction-jane-jonbenet-ex-libris-inconvenient-sequel

    Article: "This is why a third of antidepressants are prescribed for something else"

    I have talked about my real opinion of anti depressants on this forum before which led to complaints so i won't get into it again but keep in mind people consider them miracle drugs, and the fact the placebo fares so well means nothing to nobody, they want to believe.

    I'm surprised he would try this over fecal transplant

    The Courier Mail: Australian scientists prove CFS is real and have discovered a test for it

    Excellent, now he needs to make wild claims and grandiose proclamations and he will gain the support of more thread members and much more funding :laugh: And it would not hurt to publish more of his results since then, might help with the NIH.

    Psychologists Claim ‘Selfitis’ – The Obsessive Need To Post Selfies – Is Now A Mental Disorder

    This is too funny! I've never liked taking selfies, but i think they are reading too far into it Mental disorders are quite fluid, it seems our mental abilities and foibles change every few years, must be some kind of hyper evolution :woot:

    The Courier Mail: Australian scientists prove CFS is real and have discovered a test for it

    No worries, i also repeat myself a lot :) I agree that he probably would be retired otherwise, but some people never retire, i know more then a few people who like to stay sharp and are dedicated to what they do. I disagree, the point of publication is to take your data and submit it to a...

    The Courier Mail: Australian scientists prove CFS is real and have discovered a test for it

    I'm sorry your offended but i don't think repeated grandiose statements and proclamations makes them special. I completely agree that they should publish, i wrote a long synopsis of my opinion on this (was it here or on the other place, i forget) but their wanting to change the academic system...
