With regard to the BBC article, there are some great comments, if you put them in order of highest rated first.

The lack of accountability among BPS-cult members is contributing to keeping M.E. sufferers ill. I blame Peppa Pig: http://www.bmj.com/content/359/bmj.j5397 And while the BBC News website has studiously ignored M.E. for years, their Health Reporter Ian Westbrook is on the case of Dr Brown...

I was recently wondering whether to inject 1 cm long catgut segments into myself whilst burning some dried mugwort onto my body, so this is very useful. Thanks very much.

My advice is that she should practise her spelling first.

TED is awash with quacks and bullshit, and has been for years. http://www.quackometer.net/blog/2010/12/ted-quacks.html

She'd better close her medical practice then.

Practise is a verb. Practice is a noun. I would advise that you take my advice on this.

That must have been a lot of work. Nice job :thumbup:

I have two teenage sons who come home from school every day, go upstairs, lie down and fall asleep. Absolutely nothing to do with ME. My 15 year old only started doing this a couple of weeks ago. Now he's just like his big brother, who does it most days. Teenagers innit?

A rag-bag of well-dodgy arguments. Psychotherapy isn't physics. It isn't even science. This guy thinks the observations of psychotherapists should be equated with the work of Einstein and Hawking? In his dreams. I'm afraid Freud didn't quite make the grade...

Frank Richards was the pen name used by the guy who wrote the Billy Bunter books Frank Furedi is probably taking the ****

That's wierd because I'm sure I read an interview of his where he implied that he could have done many great things with his fine mind but he very kindly decided to dedicate himself to psychiatry for the good of humanity, even though it was way beneath him. I suppose it depends who he's talking...

Preaching by parable and anecdote. There was a typo in the title by the way - it should have been "Commentary: the hubris of psychiatry"

It's easy to assume this means that a new category will be created just for us somewhere between somatic and psychiatric, but it's just as easy to interpret it as meaning that our new category will be on the other side of psychiatric and that our situation could get a whole lot worse. Is Mark...

The article ends with: I tried clicking on the link but 4 different browsers wouldn't open it because it's unsafe. I wanted to see if the Migraine Impact Assessment tool recommended any specific products, seeing as I noticed this at the top of the article: Which I think means "this is an...

What a shame. It was going so well until The article was really good until that point. Then it all got a bit deliciously Ella cranial sacral usual pseudo junk for me. And now it's a bloody advert. I was wondering why a non-celebrity was writing about ME in the Mirror, now all is clear...

I read the headline and clicked on the link expecting to read some wierd stuff I could have a good rant about (which I was looking forward to actually). However the article makes complete sense to me and I agree with it. Very good. Now I'll have to find something else to rant about.

Just got home from work - still in teacher mode. I'll be back to normal when I've had a lie down.

überzeugt von sich? Full of himself :)
