This guy is a visiting Professor at a nondescript school. I wouldn’t put too much stock into his recycling of CFS = depression ramblings

Just as there will be an infinitesimal population that hasn’t been exposed to Covid, there will soon be an equivalent population without FND designations

Alan Carson is now positioned as the preeminent psychosomatic researcher. Of course his input is needed, because we all secretly know these presentations are FND. The evidentiary double standard is staggering. Those professing pathology are skewered, while we can just claim it’s all FND because...

The Joseph Smith segment was wild. A tidal wave of buzzwords and jargon, all creating a cumulative effect of absolutely nothing. DNRS, the massive grift, with a ringing endorsement!!

Im sure this will be ascribed to militancy and evil ME activists. The militants with transnational tentacles and the ability to browbeat public health organizations, governments, academics, and Nobel winners. It couldn’t be that Garner is actually wrong.

The health coaching model is a giant grift. It allows people with no credentials, training, or ability to market themselves as experts in basic elements of daily life. To be fair to them, they know about as much as our benevolent BPS overseers.

I think it’s worth leaving responses on this one. It’s illiterate nonsense. It even reads like a random sentence generator vomited it out.

Have any of the usual suspects chimed in to diminish it?

Get ready for a puerile and frenetic response from Adam Gaffney…

Did they identify the problematic language? Rhetorical question of course

BMJ Editorial Is there one illness (FND)? By Simon W

The subconscious secondary gain theory couldn’t be more insipid, and just reveals the conscious discriminatory attitudes of doctors. You’re faking, which requires willful action, but in a subconscious way???

This guy has been beating and defiling this dead horse for some time. It’s clickbait culture war nonsense manifesting in cacophonous non sequiturs. I’ve seen his points parroted by some other figures historically hostile to us.

The message has always been the same. These patients aren’t experiencing anything we don’t deal with everyday. They just lack the resiliency to handle common adversity.

Exhaustion is mental illness because we’ve made that determination and are totally intransigent. It has to be something that only befalls an inferior “other.” That way, I can be sure it won’t befall me

They aren’t 50 international specialists in the area, unless you believe that ME is FND is functional somatic syndrome is … The contempt is so palpable

I would speculate this is especially true for the FND sycophants, who I highly doubt were pouring over the literature.

They have too much to lose. Im hoping there will be responses from reputable sources, though i’m not incredibly optimistic

If activity levels aren’t relevant, then why is increasing activity the central aim of these interventions, and why did you include actigraphy as an outcome in *your* own trials?? These people depend on unaffiliated third parties not having the time or desire to actually grapple with the logic...

What kind of reporting is this? It just parrots Garner and snippets from the opinion piece with no context or analysis. Troglodytic journalism
