Open Letter: 74 International experts urge Dutch Minister of Health to make substantial long term investment in biomedical research

Good to see scientists piling on to help patients in the Netherlands - excellent international effort.

 

Really good letter, and it's so good to again see so many doctors and researchers speaking out for us.

I found this very powerful:

"The treatments based on that hypothesis (CBT/GET),have produced no robust evidence in the past 2 decades...."

And "Furthermore, patients internationally for more than 20 years have continually reported deteriorationfrom following the advice of their doctors to gradually increase their exertion levels based on a GET protocol....."

That's so damning, that those in power and influence have allowed this to carry on for 2 decades. I hope outsiders take this in!

 

Thanks for posting. I can get confused between which countries are releasing good reports, and which are releasing bad reports. Sounds like the Dutch may be moving forward.
