I know. But PEM is in the way at the moment

Exactly That's why I also added a picture of a magician Though that's already way too much credit for Knoop.

Conflating of chronic fatigue with ME It's amazing that "professor" and "evidence based" are part of Knoop's title description

Didn't know where to put it. Please do if it's any better. Thank you!!!

I send it to them but my blog is way too long I think. Let's see.

My response to Knoop et al. to an opinion piece in a Dutch national newspaper. Mostly myth busting. http://anilvanderzee.com/the-denouement/

Me too of course but Knoop and Rosmalen. 2 of the members are friends with the PACE authors, Per Fink, Crawley etc. So yeah it was kind of mission impossible as 4 of the 7 clinicians were BPSers. CBT has indeed a GET component to it so GET is still around. Blijenberg his little creation...

It's a step in the right direction for sure Too many BPS involved but still.

With English (Google translate)

I feel this one is very important for all of us. Like David Tuller said if it's any good then it could have an effect on the rest of Europe and world

Thanks for all the nice comments. We all expected more. Sadly it didn't really deliver but I do think CBT was given a question mark. Until recently that rarely happened. Let's hope the media will keep trying to get the story right.

I'm happy her blog is well received. I felt it was important to share her thoughts and wisdom with everyone but I can't help but feeling angry about the situation with ME as well... Thank you for sharing it!!

Simply amazing. This is so good!!!

What did they say about the actometer?

Yeah, they (Blijenberg) don't want anyone in the trials that are fighting for their benefits. It's considered a perpetuating factor. Disability means you have a chronic illness.

That's a good question. I haven't read this paper but normally Blijenberg will do stuff like that. I've seen it in other studies like this one. Although it's not for CFS...

Very interesting....but a little scary as well.

They combine CBT with a GET component. So they say CBT is effective but really its CBT and GET.

Ì have to up meds with 1/32th of a pil. Even that is way too high. Really annoying. Can't reach a real good therapeutic dose like that.

It looks rather harmless in this article. But does she claim a cure?? https://www.google.nl/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/healthcare-network/2016/nov/03/working-nhs-miserable-dance-ward-hip-hop
