Certainly for the people that matter in terms of having a chance of doing something useful for ME, I think IiME's comments are out of order. If...
That was certainly true ten years ago. What I am not sure about is whether the technology is now so powerful that it would be relied on to pick up...
To a first approximation I think yes. But as indicated, there may be caveats.
I think that is an interesting question. Maybe Luis Nacul, (and others) who assessed patients for various criteria, could extract that information.
I was talking to Chris Ponting about this last week. Take inflammatory arthritis. It is three times as common in women as in men and has a...
I think if an amino acid is not conserved across species for a very basic protein like prolyl hydroxylase it suggests that the amino acid is not...
The review was accepted on January 7th. So it may now be out of date.
This is certainly very interesting. My first question is whether the genetic risk estimate and the link to the prolyl hydroxylase gene are the...
I think this is fair comment. I wish I could enlighten Trish but I am not in a position to do so beyond saying that there is nothing very new...
I agree, but Emma gets everything absolutely right in terms of emphasis. I actually think her presentation (which I have re-watched) is the best...
I agree. It is so disappointing that editors agree to publish abstracts like this. This abstract fails to give the expected results of the study -...
From what I saw, Emma was playing her cards exactly right because she had Chris Ponting alongside her saying that we don't know anything about the...
I actually think it is the exact opposite. The BPS people love it when patients go on about their illness being physical - this is precisely...
I am afraid I agree with Esther12 that this sort of sentence walks right into the trap laid by the BPS people. It suggests that patients' views...
I agree, this is the key point. PACE showed the theoretical basis for these treatments was wrong (disability was not caused by illness beliefs)....
A nice demonstration of just how transparent the bullshit is (to mix metaphors) when you see how they chat about it. Not only should the student...

And how do you empathise with someone about their irrational illness beliefs - do you have them too?
Are you sure you are not being too charitable @Lucibee? What horrifies me about psychotherapy is that to a first approximation we do not even know...
It is so like homeopathy. There is a provision for every ill, with nothing in it.
