So we're back to wouldn't it be great if critical thinking was taught in grade school. Some people manage to come by it naturally they are sceptics. Others need to have their optimism and enthusiasm tempered maybe.

Yes, I believe that in order for his sense of self to remain in tact and healthy he is able like anyone to use language and concepts in a special way that can be reframed to continually mean the same thing (his original belief) but update the package as needed. So having people with ME in the...

He's a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) I think the body responsible for handing out shiny gongs needs an office of Integrity to do due diligence. Kinda like a Devils Advocate.

Hi @Sasha I know I started this thought so I hope someone more in the know steps up to confirm or deny this with more details because when I read it I found it to be an interesting finding. Sadly that small detail is all that (I think) I'm remembering. Information flows through me like water...

I guess the Omega 6 thing is not a solid conclusion perhaps. Or alternatively said as; just because I remember something doesn't make it so. :unsure:

Yes, it would be very welcome if our GP's would provide us with treatment options. On the other hand we are not a basically healthy but aging dog so not a real comparison. I read recently somewhere (sorry it's all vague except the conclusion I read) that I believe Ron Davis said that he found...

I am very interested in this topic but know utterly nothing. I would like to ask for anyone who can answer. Is there such a thing as a guideline for peer reviewers. And if there is not would such a (well thought out) guideline be of any use? I'm not thinking of boxes to tick but a statement...

Yes, I see your point. So the problem needs a fix from a number of fronts then?

Yes all true. I think though that the difference we're seeing is in the numbers involved. There were/are very dedicated people who have been hacking away at the indifference and neglect of the ME community. I'd name names but I'd forget some no doubt. But however many there were they were...

I know so little of this area but maybe a solution would be to have Statisticians as first line reviewers to review the technical aspects of a paper then the follow up (peer)reviewer would be required to bear in mind that first review of the strengths weaknesses and possible flaws of the methods...

John Oliver knows how to nail it. I've seen this one before but worth watching again. At about the 14 min mark he makes some very good observations about why it matters when we play fast and loose with science. There can be some pretty big consequences.

Not sure I found the right thread but just wanted to pipe in that I was using a HRM-- a Garmin Vivo. It worked well for the very basic things I wanted from it but now after 18 months or so it seems the USB charging cable has died on me. Just providing the info for feedback on models.

Perhaps pointing out that there is no controversy around ME. There is only contrived controversy from those who are heavily invested in not subscribing to reality. I get the feeling that ME (not exclusively but especially) in the UK is seen as controversial. And therefore no one is willing to...

Immediately my mind went to #SomethingToHide

I really don't think anyone here would censure such a gesture of reaching out to communicate as a private personal choice. Certainly that's not a good thing to do. It would horrify me. But in the context of using it as a universal or widely shared symbolic gesture I'd have to agree that...

My brain does not function very well but I would have thought there would be a more clear way to express that if that's the case.

I find this statement odd: Sitting at the heart of our international advocacy work is the ethical principle that access to biomedical care must not be restricted for anyone who has a significant possibility of needing it. It seems a bit overly cautious and slightly vague. I may simply have...

There's a certain irony when someone chooses a profession -- psychology -- where your everyday work is about attending to psychological matters and then you go on to accuse others of a psychological issue via over-attending to bodily sensations. One could accuse them of perhaps attending too...

I'm glad to hear you're still managing so far. The big effort near concluding. I'd like to add that although I cannot attend my daughter, it just worked out this way, arrives for a visit here on the 12th and she will wear a MillionsMissing t-shirt from her home in the UK to on the train then...

Thanks for this @ScottTriGuy I hope you take care of yourself though all this--you seem to have been quite busy of late. :hug:
