Not that there is any possibility that the treatment actually works but I would be interested in knowing what they think they know about fatigue from this quote: Perhaps I'm misreading but it seems like they (bPS) went to some length to explain to them how to think about / what fatigue is...

Wouldn't pyschosocial factors play a role in pretty much all illnesses and pretty much all of interactive living? How is this vague statement in any way concretely useful? Of course for those who make such lame statements it's because they wish it to mean 'take your CBT/GET medicine and stop...

Given the coercive aspects involved children need urgent protecting. Given that and the delusional aspects being told not to believe what is real I think one might justifiably consider mental health investigations of LP practitioners. There are real public health issues in the mental health...

Perhaps it should be considered a social disorder.

This quote shows completely that LP practitioners have no idea what they are talking about. You cannot compare having ME to going on a diet. They are not at all comparable.

Moved post Apologies for this tangential post but I didn't want to start a new thread for this and it is relevant here. There is an article on pain management that is suggesting there will be non-opioid targeted pain relievers in the near future due to some research work in the US. Article...

I'm a little surprised when looking at this list. As I remember looking some time ago at some JLA priorities for a number of conditions and the priorities were set as declarative statements not as questions (IIRC). So one priority might be (as an example) The need for better understanding...

@Simon M I just have a small question based on what you said above. The methods to extract data used by the DeCodeME team -- are they fairly standardised across the scientific community? Or to say it differently might other countries do things the same way or are their some variables?

This actually gives me hope. Occasionally an initially small and obscure force that goes unnoticed, in reality, over time sneaks up on all of the main players in a drama and changes things all while everyone is unsuspecting. In other words. When a thing truly IS useless and the people who...

There are for Canada some issues around Federal or Provincial responsibilities in health. I have little knowledge there but I expect that as things change the results will be uneven and reflect regional differences in understanding and care. Also, there has been some mention of Long-Covid in...

Given psychology's many, many sins of the past (off books human subject experimenting, fake recovered memories of abuse and many others) whatever point they may make that is valid there is the very big question of: Can those who choose this new perspective on research be trusted to do no harm...

I think of that adrenaline surge as more related to increasing dysautonomia which despite the temporary feeling more able signals a decline in functioning. I would get adrenaline surges quite randomly. Although this might be slightly different from what @Borko is describing. I remember best...

The question is effective for what? For rumination this may be useful as suggested. For anything else I'm not sure there is any evidence provided.

The problem of course being that someone who knew the information was at least misleading had to intervene. Without that vigilance it may well have still been up and available to read. I understand that BJGB is a business and as such cannot survive without providing a product. But . . . a very...

I've decided I'm not done with this particular article by Anna Chellamutha. I'd like to clarify further a comment from my previous post in case anyone new (without any background to understand certain statements made by AC) comes to this thread after the fact. The piece has been taken down and...

I watch a lot of K-drama and that is certainly the impression I get. There is one difference though for those countries. There are a great many people in a small space. The competativeness is in part from so many people chasing any work at all. Which is only a small side point but it does...

A win (I think) for Jo Edwards here ( @Jonathan Edwards ): https://bjgplife.com/mar22

News from the US: https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/tim-kaine-with-long-covid-19-himself-introduces-research-bill-1.5804701 I expect the ctv news piece is from a Washington Post article I don't have free access to.

Just as there are sanctions against doctors spreading misinformation about covid and treatments there should be sanctions of doctors shilling this marketing propaganda. Every time I read a story like this one thing stands out. How is it that the person was 'essentially bed-bound' yet able to...
