Not a recommendation. https://www.nhsggc.org.uk/patients-.../holistic-chronic-fatigue-syndromeme-service/ The other treatments the Centre offers are equally impressive...
This sounds like one of the old Homeopathic Hospitals with a new name maybe? I used to be seen at the London one.
I thought the NHS no longer funded homeopathy but it seems this of one of two remaining sevices. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...ospital-for-integrated-medicine-a8253061.html
It may be a bit weird but the one that makes me raise ye olde eyebrow is... mistletoe therapy? I'm also really keen to hear what they can tell me that helps my financial situation. No, really, please, do tell.
I think this demonstrates just how much of a myth it is that the NHS is entirely evidence based. In the area of therapist-delivered treatments it continues to be the case that anything goes. They sort of slip in unnoticed under the door. And of course CBT and GET are part of this. What is unusual about CBT and GET for ME is that people have actually tried to show they work and published in what are otherwise scientific journals.
And then, NHS would prefer to fund alternative medicine/ therapies because they cost much less than real medicine and real research that develops evidence-based treatments. And then there is a demand for alternative treatments, from patients believing that natural treatments are better and holistic is better, and that all the chemicals is bad for you and pharma is ‘crooked’. Sending ‘MUPS’ patients to these clinics suits them NHS and drs who want an easy life just fine.
Still the most excruciatingly frustrating thing is that is un-blinded patient report trials of homeopathy are widely known to be unreliable junk but at the same time un-blinded patient report trials of CBT/GET are standard practice robust trials with low risk of bias.
