    This reddit post just turned up for me, and I thought I'd post it here: https://www.reddit.com/user/lord_archimond/comments/mdkfee/lightning_process_summarized/

    MElivet - Blog posts by Nina E. Steinkopf

    Steinkopf finds a lot of interesting information and I feel like I learn a lot from her blogs, but I also think that she can go too far sometimes or be insufficiently clear with her provisos. Possibly some of that's because of google's translations though.

    UK Parliament: ME/CFS Announcements: Statement by Health Secretary Sajid Javid, 12 May 2022

    Hopefully things get better for her soon. On a purely political note, there's some indication of a relatively high rate of natural recovery for teenagers, so possibly a chance of recovery coinciding with some random treatment being tried, and this potentially influencing Javid's views.

    United Kingdom: Science Media Centre (including Fiona Fox)

    Carol Rubra responded to some concerns about an interview with Crawley, signing off with this: https://meassociation.org.uk/2016/12/correspondence-between-bbc-director-general-and-the-countess-of-mar-about-the-fitnet-nhs-trial-9-december-2016/ A meander of posts discussing the BBC (is it...

    United Kingdom: Science Media Centre (including Fiona Fox)

    I meant a formal complaint. From what I've seen, complaints are rarely seen by those in UK medicine as a reason for serious investigation and self-reflection. There also seems to be a lack of alternative ways of encouraging serious investigation and self-reflection. Seems that complaints are...

    Facts and Myths about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 2022, Per Fink et al. (Danish Medical Journal article)

    Just saw that Fink paper is now largely behind a paywall. The pdf still seems accessible: https://ugeskriftet.dk/files/scientific_article_files/2022-05/v12210943_web.pdf and that is archived here...

    Facts and Myths about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 2022, Per Fink et al. (Danish Medical Journal article)

    May be the one to have done some CFS papers? A paper with Hotopf: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15469945/ One with Gregorowski: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1719984/ I don't think a complaint to the SMC is a worthwhile idea. Some careful questions might get some useful...

    One of Fiona's mentions of her sister having ME/CFS... I'm sure I remember another too. https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/new-year-round-up-me-susan-greenfield-and-the-future-of-science-journalism/

    I can't give her money! It's difficult to believe that Fox is not aware of being a propagandist.

    I didn't see any supporting evidence for that claim about Garner and Landmark. The linked to blog makes this claim, but doesn't provide any evidence for it...

    News from Scandinavia

    So is Vogt being invited because he runs Recovery Norge? Would be interesting to know more about exactly what's happening here.

    News from Scandinavia

    Would be good to get more of an understanding of that. Norway seems a rare example of somewhere worse than the UK.
