As best as I can tell, this "gold standard" trope simply means EBM. Which, yeah, basically means "plastic-painted gold tchotchke" than actual gold-plated. So much marketing and hype in this profession. They take the absolute least reliable, most biased and ineffective, methodology known and call...

Hopefully this is the year long haulers participate with the full understanding that they are stuck in the same cell with us. It's been a massive disappointment how little support there has been. And not just for us, those who recover from LC all seem to move and forget all about it. I thought...

That's not ironic. Irony would have been if he had been somehow denying it, or had "researched" from, say, a BPS perspective. Now that's ironic. This is just probability.

Exactly how much BS is there in medicine? If they can go ahead with this stuff, there's basically no limit to what they'll accept. There's zero concern with validity here, the "disturbances in neurophysiologic regulation" is the new "chemical imbalance" and the rest is just random speculation...

Damn inflation, look what little $5M per year buys you these days.

I don't know how else to interpret that, this is what integrative therapies mean as far as I know. This is not how to care for those patients, in fact this is offered in response to lack of actual care while not recognizing what the lack of care is even about. I'm just weird like that but...

There's something unique about reading medical philosophy, it's like a peer into the past, pre-science, even pre-expertise. They're just old ideas without any substance throwing rocks from a glass tower while screaming "I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD!". Freud himself would find nothing...

Yes. I'm not sure I understand how this relates, some random psychotherapy is obviously not a solution to any of those problems. It's in fact extremely insulting, given that this is the current failed standard.

More accurate to say that they are fighting against us. And reality. But yeah. Bonkers at a level that is completely incompatible with professionals.

Honestly it's getting easy to see why medicine has made zero progress in diseases like Alzheimer's. Recent news of such progress aside, let's see if it even holds up. You'd think that they could take disabling cognitive impairment like this seriously, but wow would that be a wrong assumption...

How are they so bad at this? It's the near perfection of this incompetence that is infuriating. Just so completely out of their depth that they can't even see that they are failing miserably. And just the same way every damn time. They don't know, so they don't want to know. I've never seen...

It's honestly hard to imagine any group of people who have listened to so much from so many people and heard so little. Even by complete chance it's impossible to get so many things wrong, they hear what they want to hear and nothing else. As if they have no concept of illness or disability...

Yes, totally was the medical community that realized that. Sure. Why not? It's not as if they're still almost in universal denial after 3 years and we have been screaming about this from the start. Who cares about what's true? Let's just go with that feels true. It's been 3 years. To hell with...

Actually, this annoys me a lot. Angers me, even. Because to be honest here: It literally does the opposite, because I know they're lying. And I see nothing happening. It has nothing to do with stress, the only reason people go see professionals is because they expect them to do...

Oh for sure they're stealing money from a purpose and using it for themselves. Zero question about that. The fact that Rosmalen is a ME denier is a feature not a bug. The problem is that most of medicine is OK with this, so no one in the system will care. In their minds it's as if they took...

It's also obvious that they can't report real numbers, which is the same as manipulating figures. It's still a lie even if they believe it. If they did report real data, they couldn't also do the marketing reporting where they pretend, based on vague figures, to do anything. Their data are...

Obviously not, it's doubtful that the real numbers paid are even 10% of this, not even sure about 1%. The whole point of this construct is to deny those costs. But it's silly to only count direct healthcare expenses, and that is the real problem. As otherwise simply denying medical care is the...

Same old same old. So it's looking more and more like the most likely explanation is the one that will see the fiercest defiance. Medicine has huge hang-ups about any combination of chronic and an infectious pathogen, it's considered a truism that this is not a thing, they can't handle this...

As best as I can tell, this hypothesis is mostly brushed off because there is basically nothing we can do about it. No lifestyle changes can change the fact that we regularly get exposed with stuff that can cause health issues. And it's not just pathogens, so many toxins, metals, now plastics...

Yeah, and I seem to remember it was supposed to expand beyond, but that never happened. I actually forgot about it. Haven't seen anything about it at all. Is it even active/used for something?
