Very hard to see how this was a genuine concern of his, he's been absurdly wrong most of his career but he is not delusional. He is very calculated and purposeful in what he does, and this is the model he has sold, and the model that PACE used. And the model that IAPT used, with similar...

I doubt that more than maybe a few hundred get it, out of tens of millions. They just don't see it, they're trained by the failing system. This is partly because of the complete separation between physical and mental health, ironically on the basis of a magical duality between mind and body that...

Maybe needs to be a bit fleshed out but this is definitely important. For decades we have had people confidently asserting that X, whatever they wanted to call it but we know they meant something like social contagion of hysteria or whatever, would vanish within a few years, a fad people held on...

I saw this randomly on Xitter and I don't know how much drugs does someone have to take to believe this stuff but it's definitely closer to all of them than most of them. The delusional factor goes all the way to 11 here.

It keeps being pointed out that a mental health crisis is growing. The mental health movement, especially the biopsychosocial model, has been growing for about 2 decades. A huge chunk of it is actually mislabeled health problems, but that's part of the mental health renewal. Coincidence...

POSIWID: the purpose of a system is what it does.

They excluded the most common issue found in LC from a LC study? But they found it anyway. Damn kids these days. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But the 'experts' keep saying that it's one of the most common disorders seen in health care, possibly the most common problem. That seems to conflict a bit. Just a tiny bit. It's both one of the most common disorders and also rare. You can be anything if you want to. Also, what I was thinking...

When you are getting similar results with or without controlling for confounding effects, you are most likely not actually controlling for confounding effects. They understand this. They don't care. Complete double standards. They find no benefits. 76 trials! Still recommend it. This is insane.

Cannabis is legal in Canada and I have access to medical cannabis, though not for myself (not that it's any different). I've been using it for years. Not surprisingly: makes little to no difference overall. It's great for sleep, to alleviate pain and makes the soul-crushing nature of this...

Most of the public stuff we see from medical and public health bodies is theater, political posturing. Whatever they say in public doesn't matter 1% as much as what goes on in administrative offices and how they make decisions, especially about expensive things like disability support. Money...

Research like this is basically like a LLM that only ever spits out the input. You give it an input, and its output is what you gave it. They pretend to be doing research with some question, and out the end is basically a bunch of the same opinions that support the questions and reframing of the...

And despite the author elsewhere saying she isn't recovered and in the article saying how it was a very slow, gradual process to even make it to the garden for 5 minutes, he decided that he is correct and anyone correcting him is wrong. Apparently a problem of language with recovery, which...

Re-enactement of this process:

Actually, less hoping and more doing. Hope becomes poisonous with time. There's been more than enough time for it to become completely toxic.

Literally not a single one of those things will help avoid catching a virus. Not even one. Only the last one will help prevent severe illness, but not catching it. This is actually impressive. Being an expert and managing a 0 on basic recommendations about a common problem. Medicine is...

Not more persistent. Just as persistent. An important change in framing. And actually a bit higher for records of CFS. This study isn't very accurate as it relies on health records, although a difference here is that they use health insurance records. At best it's a massive undercount. At least...

Embarrassing nonsense. Always the same old nonsense. Psychosomatic medicine is an infinitely growing cancer.

On secondary outcomes, which the 'treatment' explicitly tries to influence. "We could not fix your car but it smells fresh because we sprayed it a bit with an aerosol cleaner, it may not be what you wanted but we are satisfied that it's basically the same to us". There really ought to be...
