I'm trying to write a post about this paper but am very confused by Table 3. The right side of it (under "Difference") seems to show the difference between all the moderates and all the severes, whether or not they got the intervention. The left side splits them up into the intervention and...

I agree this point is off and kind of useless. The definitions used for ME and ME/CFS are generally agnostic about triggers, so there's nothing to say they couldn't be caused by SARS-CoV-2.

I've never heard of FD with the IS added. When did that become a thing?

There are also Knoop's chocolate stores in Brighton and I assume elsewhere. Are they related??? :)

Gee, better recognition of POTS? Hasn't this crew already dismissed POTS as psychogenic related to the irrational fear of being upright? Or do Knoop and Moss-Morris disagree with the NYU neurologists who made that claim in a very stupid paper for which I organized a published response...

Thanks! Bur I have to say these people make it too easy to criticize. You don't have to look very far to find problems!

And David Perez, the US version of Jon Stone/Alan Carson. And since this review produced bupkus, they need "large-scale, prospective studies" to try to find the evidence that this study did not produce. And interestingly, in this paper at least they did not trot out the false claim that a...

Are you suggesting re-screening Friends as a possible therapeutic intervention for long Covid and ME/CFS??

She cites Kate Kelland's piece of trash "journalism" about so-called "harassment" of Professor Sharpe as evidence of something or other. She also fails to grapple with the abysmal quality of the PACE trial and all the other research in this domain. Perhaps all that doesn't matter in her...

Ha, good point! but I was referring to their branch of pseudo-whatever (science? philosophy?) relating to the "MUS" construct.

In her domain of science, this is what they believe. I have very little doubt she is completely sincere in her beliefs--no matter how wrong, illogical or stupid those beliefs are.

I really wondered about that.

Don't think they can be shut up. But it would be great if they spout their bullshit but no one is paying attention anymore.

This would be true in theory. However, we are dealing with JNNP, which has Alan Carson and Jon Stone as leading editorial players. They are not known for being honest brokers.

Especially if it gets covered by news organizations to the same extent the JNNP screed was.

They are impervious to humiliation and embarassment, however, given their arrogance and incomprehensible certainty about their own righteousness.

Exactly. NICE has the right to defend itself however it sees fit, given the attack.

Will it actually be peer-reviewed? It seems like the party being attacked should have some freedom in responding without having to respond to lots of snarky, nitpicky anonymous comments from who knows who?

If so, I'd certainly credit you!!

Her statement is double-talk—like Captain Renaud in Casablanca being shocked, shocked to find gambling going on. She’s playing innocent—she participated fully in the research but now says she disagrees with the entire premise of the study?? Come on!! The PACE study included a similar meaningless...
