    Objective Proof of the Nocebo Effect?

    One would need to go through the referenced studies to understand how strong/weak they are but I don't see any monstrous claims - essentially telling someone that something unpleasant is about to happen causes them to react in preparation for the unpleasantness - and in contrast telling someone...

    UK: The NHS needs to ramp up treatment volumes if waiting lists are to start falling any time soon. 2022, IFS

    Well apart from hoping UK women were going start having many more babies (as opposed to going to work to pay bills) there was a fix - which was allowing large numbers of young mainland Europeans to come and live here with citizen level rights and other encouragements to contribute long term...

    UK: The NHS needs to ramp up treatment volumes if waiting lists are to start falling any time soon. 2022, IFS

    There are a number of structural problems that make 2022 substantially more challenging than 2002.

    UK: The NHS needs to ramp up treatment volumes if waiting lists are to start falling any time soon. 2022, IFS

    I think the answer is partly 'yes there was a significant delay in impact of increased spending' - however real terms spending (as a proportion of GDP) didn't increase markedly until after the 2002 election - yellow line in this graph...

    Differences in Symptoms among Black and White Patients with ME/CFS 2022, Jason and Torres

    It is a very difficult area to discuss in the context of the US because while its population as a whole shows wide genetic mixing, a major part of that mixing has been as a result of racial oppression - however the fact of it can't be ignored when it comes to research. I wouldn't be confident of...

    Just to note although it's not in the organisation's title, this is an NHS England specific body, made clear in its Constitution. Certainly there shouldn't be any problem relating any update to NICE 2021, although there is a bureaucratic aspect to consider in that the primary guiding...
