I suppose that the name does at least distinguish them from all the centres of disfunctional medicine, which seem to proliferate.

We need a duck emoji.

 

The blurb sort of gives the impression that there is a medical doctor there somewhere but uses the word practitioner instead.
Looking at the team they seem to be dieticians of some sort.

 

Is this "functional medicine," which is an alternative medicine movement in the US at least that uses "functional" with a different meaning than in the phrase "functional symptom" or "functional neurological disorder"?

I have emailed the MEA to ask whether this is another example where Dr Shepherd might be able to complain to the Advertising Standards Agency.

 

The ‘health conditions’ they list under purview are:

• Digestive Health
• Women’s Health
• Long Covid
• Men’s Health
• Autoimmune Conditions
• Chronic Fatigue
• Thyroid Disorders
• Stress Management
• Children’s Health
• Brain Health

Under Long Covid they say:

 

Swift response from Russell of ME Association received today:

“As you can imagine, the more letters that Dr Shepherd writes, the more requests we receive from the community about other health websites in the UK (and abroad!). For now, we are prioritising NHS websites and continuing to work positively with ME/CFS specialist services personnel and healthcare commissioners to get the Guideline's recommendations implemented. We hope to announce that we will soon have dedicated new resource in place to help us in these efforts because improving health and social care is vital. But I will keep this request (as well as all the others) on file until we can review them.”

Any “spots” please email:

feedback@meassociation.org.uk

with the name of the organisation/Health Service/Clinic as the heading.

I will add more information here, if I get any.

 

isn't there a way that Russell could receive an email from here when tagged? I've had a look in account settings but I can't see it, but I seem to vaguely remember getting email alerts for something until I turned it off......?

 

​

 

Thanks both, I will suggest that to @Russell Fleming, especially if some Technical Wizard* can confirm that an email alert can go to a member when they are tagged?

* @NelliePledge / Moderators - May we have assistance in whether this alert could work please?
