Treating chronic fatigue syndrome / Oxford Neuroscience

[TiredSam]

Well I thought that the cushion you sent me was odd? Nevertheless who am I to question treatments sent to me by post so I ate around half the stuffing in one sitting. I think I went a bit fast though since I felt a bit queesey afterwards like my liver was detoxing too fast ? so I slowed down and finished the lot in small amounts over the week.

Well done, you sound like just the kind of customer we're looking for.

My feedback is that some easy to swallow capsules would help...I would definitely spend more for those.

I'll have a rummage, I think I might have just the thing - they're not cheap, but I'm sure I'll be able to make you a special offer.

Pssst! @TiredSam! - we at @Mij's placebo pharmacy carry an excellent range of capsules. I am sure we could do a good deal for you to pass on to your valued customers.

I wanted to send them a quick email to say that I had taken a screenshot of this page as proof of their promotion of fraudulent research and iatrogenic harm but they don't supply an email address on their 'contact us' page: https://www.neuroscience.ox.ac.uk/about/contact-us

Even that is stuck in the 20th century.

Well that's not true - politicians take them very seriously and go straight to them for all their data needs. Need to back up a new policy with data? Throw a few million at some psychologists, they'll never let you down.

I thought of this last night when I was watching the news; they were reporting on the latest Pret a Manger suspected allergy deaths. Speculating how this would affect business, they got a 'Consumer Psychologist' to comment...

The page (Oxford Neuroscience) is still the same and this info re the CDC has not been updated.
