    It's just a letter to the journal, not a paper published by them.

    Excellent letter. I sent a link to Healthwise. No response, nor do I expect one. GET happily lives on at Healthwise.

    I'm absolutely speechless. How completely wrong I was.

    Healthwise just contacted me. I'll make a separate post about this later.

    Suffice it to say that after reviewing all my input, Healthwise has decided to remove all GET/CBT from their ME/CFS content this fall. Healthwise content is used by many major healthcare providers in the United States, including Kaiser Permanente.

    A most sincere thank you, @FrankTwisk. You were the straw that broke Healthwise's back, so to speak.

    Wow, well done @Webdog! Good for you - and all the other ME patients who will benefit from your hard work and persistence :emoji_dart::emoji_trophy:

    It seems mountains can be moved after all...

    I'd like to take credit, but I was merely continuously passing along the excellent work done by numerous others. They are the real heroes.
