It would be interesting to know all the COI's involved in his, whether declared, or not.

But how will you ever overcome "therapeutic nihilism" if you admit to not knowing?

In Florida they can probably refer euphemistically to the excess over the state speaker's numbers as "hanging chads".

Give them thirty years.

Exculpatory?

I noticed that diagram and thought how impressive were the developments over the years - in the art-work. It says so much. And leaves so much un-said.

It's an interesting idea that exercise intolerance causes and maintains CFS. Surely it is a symptom. Not only is their confusion about body and mind, but also about cause and effect.

The problem with that Greenhalgh Tweet is that she gives no indication of the measures taken by her to verify the diagnosis to enable her to dismiss the GP's rebuttal. Is it known what evidence has to be submitted to enable participation in the research? It may well be there are grounds for...

I thought that it was now known, thanks to Gerada's ground-breaking and visionary work, that the most appropriate treatment is the one which leaves the doctor or therapist feeling better.

There have been references to William Sargant. It is unclear how reliable his writings were. Apparently when he retired in 1972 he took with him, and destroyed, all his patients' records. It may be entirely coincidental that that was the year Dulles (EDIT I wrote Dulles, but meant Helms) and...

From where has Alwan got the idea that when people say Long covid is a post -viral syndrome that they imply that post-viral syndromes are to be dismissed with the added adverb "only"? There seems to be something seriously askew with her thinking on the subject. She might end up having to play...

There seems to be a rash of articles referring to "cognitive impairment" and saying it has never been researched. I have a vague recollection that in the early days of the Tahoe research Cheney sent a number of his patients to a psychologist in either LA or San Francisco. I think she may have...

Interesting to see that term "cognitive impairment". Round about 1990 the term "cognitive dysfunction" was used. This seems an accurate and descriptive term. Somehow we ended up with the term "dysfunctional cognitions", which is, to me at least, meaningless. I have not been able to find any...

This link may indicate a source of future difficulties for some, arising out of the treatment given to a notable personage. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/08/trump-covid-drug-developed-using-cells-derived-from-abortion

The answer is clearly battery rearing. oh, and chlorination.

Good to see that in these days of difficulty for public transport the gravy train, at least, is fully operational.

If Wessely valued consistency he should be claiming that in Long Covid the precipitating virus has cleared and what is now important is the perpetuating factors. We know what those are. The discussions from the CIBA conference will provide a goldmine of useful quotes. I must find the book. It...
