The paper has now been accepted for publication in the journal "Brain Behaviour Immunity - Health" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666354626000207

So, you're saying that Bhupesh Prusty, Carmen Scheibenbogen, Ron Davis and Robert Naviaux are publishing stuff that isn't worth your time discussing? Sorry, but that makes you look a bit conceited.

It's somewhat surprising (to me) that there isn't a lot of discussion about this Preprint: ME/CFS and PASC Patient-Derived Immunoglobulin Complexes Disrupt Mitochondrial Function and Alter Inflammatory Marker Secretion https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.06.25332978v1

A few relevant links re Prof Jonathan Michaels: Biography (jonathanmichaels.co.uk) It's somewhat ironic that he posts a link to this webpage Vascular Services Research (sheffield.ac.uk) from his personal website, whilst apparently knowing nothing about the vascular problems associated with...

As one of the world's leading geneticists, why is Ron Davis not advocating for this kind of study? I would be interested to hear his views on this particular proposal.

In light of his Lazarus-like resurrection from retirement, I'm wondering whether White's apparently renewed relationship with QMUL might have implications with respect to a prior FOIA case, where the Information Commissioner was told that data could not be accessed because he was the only person...

Says also, the man who (allegedly) lodged complaints with the employer / host University of an academic, who dared to criticise the PACE trial. Says also, the man who (allegedly) asserts that it is a conflict of interest to suffer from the same illness that you're researching...

That's a good point, because whilst she chose to highlight one of my Tweets which was critical of Sharpe, there are dozens I've posted (before and since) in praise of M.E. researchers who go about their work in a proper manner and adhere to the scientific method. No mention also about the...

In my opinion, that is precisely what she has done. I gave her a lot of information to follow up on during the near hour long telephone conversation I had with her in September last year, but she has apparently made no effort to look into the kinds of published research which would contradict /...

To my knowledge. she was working on this story since last summer, and yet my tweet (quoted out of context) is apparently the best example of "abuse" she could come up with? I didn't even address it to Sharpe, nor did I include his Twitter handle within it. Give me a break. I also reject to her...

Yes, I've already done that. Four type-written pages !!

Point taken @Esther12 What would really infuriate me though, is if an article came was to come out which quoted my tweet, but then made no mention of all the other stuff I was at pains to explain to the reporter - on topics which are discussed at length on this forum: e.g. the importance of...

Yes, I did ask. The reporter confirmed having seen "evidence" of death threats, but didn't say what. I followed up by saying that in my opinion, anyone who does that, isn’t helping the cause of people with M.E., because they’re gifting an opportunity to the likes of Wessely, White, Sharpe and...

Sometimes you just have to say what you think. I am sick & tired of the kind of political correctness which stifles frankness. I stand by every word.

I certainly tried to do that, but I'm not sure how much of what I actually said sank in.

I was contacted by a journalist in early September last year, following a tweet I posted in March, where I expressed the view that "I am really looking forward to Michael Sharpe's professional demise and his much-deserved public humiliation." The journalist said that the article was going to...

That would be a trusting and optimistic viewpoint. However, we all know where trust and optimism has led to in the past. Personally, I would much prefer to see people who were put forward by Invest in ME Research taking the lead on this.

The bit of Sonya Chaudhury's message that concerns me greatly is this: The ME community need to wake up and recognise what it would mean to have people from the CMRC acting as the lead figures in a James Lind Alliance "Priority Setting Partnership" (PSP) for ME/cfs. In doing so, they could...

In the circumstances, your reaction is perfectly understandable, but I do think that you're being overly cynical. Perhaps it would be better to think of such an Ombudsman in terms of an Ombudsman service or Ombudsman's Office - i.e. a number of people administering a process of oversight, much...

This is for U.K. residents only. The PACE trial scandal and the failings of both QMUL and Bristol Uni, have exposed a gap in UK research governance arrangements which unscrupulous researchers and their sponsoring Universities have exploited. In October 2017, the Commons Science & Technology...
