Apologies if this was already mentioned -- regarding testimonies of adverse effects: https://www.s4me.info/threads/trial-by-error-the-lightning-process-is-“effective”-really.9586/#post-169564 And regarding scientific proof of the premises of LP -- he tried...

Only able to skim and not able to write anything coherent at the moment, so just dropping some lines here I drafted for another purpose a while ago -- in case there is something useful in it for you, @Marky -- and thanks for your work on this! "Previously, Parker advertised that LP could...

Looking at the abstract and table 2, the first part of your sentence seems to be both correct and relevant, but did W. really state that the treatment was effective? Perhaps I missed something in the translation of the reply or was it in the paper (only skimmed)? In the reply I only find -...

"All in all, this study is a small but important contribution in trying to improve the treatment options for patients with long-term fatigue." A remarkable self-rating, especially in combination with the reply's closing sentence: "No conflicts of interest stated."

Only skimmed the thread & the paper. It's hidden in the full text: https://bmjpaedsopen.bmj.com/content/bmjpo/4/1/e000620/DC1/embed/inline-supplementary-material-1.pdf?download=true Edit: cross-posted with @Theresa Also found a related paper in a journal called 'Music and Medicine' ...

Haven't read the PACE trial paper on adverse events, so just drop the link in case it's useful for this thread: Adverse events and deterioration reported by participants in the PACE trial of therapies for chronic fatigue syndrome. Dougall D, Johnson A, Goldsmith K, Sharpe M, Angus B, Chalder T...

However, allegedly "supported by recent research with the University of Bristol" -- from Phil Parkers' LP site: Are there any unpleasant side-effects or downsides? In our 21 years of experience, and supported by recent research with the University of Bristol, applying these compassionate and...

I'm not on Twitter but.... how about reminding people of David Tuller's piece about the SMILE (Lightning Process) study on stat news: https://www.statnews.com/2019/12/13/bmj-should-retract-flawed-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-research-paper/ edited to add link to forum thread...

The PRG's Fatigue "Guide" is Guides are still up at the Worcestershire health and care site (under Mental Health).(*) In the same rubric there are three additional 'guides' authored by other groups or individuals, i.e.: - Coronavirus and CBT by Kelly Watkins - Living with worry and anxiety...

Couldn't resist skimming the vanguard's text - so, another quote: Consultation-liaison psychiatrists will also continue to lead in many areas. These include emerging areas of medical genomics in psychiatry, the monitoring of drug-drug interactions, and the management of behavioral and cognitive...

I see no drama, only a dramatic increase in donations.

It works! But did you intend to have the updates still only on the old site (https://crowdfund.berkeley.edu/project/14941/updates/1 ) and not on the current crowdfunding site (https://crowdfund.berkeley.edu/project/20159/updates/1 ) ? Glad to hear that your mother seems to be safe and very alert.

... and the now added link / 3. update on the old site doesn't go to the project[edit] crowdfunding site at all.... :emoji_tea:, @dave30th ? Edit 2: The link is fixed now but the updates are still only on the old site (https://crowdfund.berkeley.edu/project/14941/updates/1 ) not on the...

The update seems to have been posted on the page from last years' crowdfounding - at least the link posted above(*) directs me to the old page @dave30th (*) as well as the link in the UC Berkeley e-mail.

Thanks for explaining, @dave30th , and thanks @Michiel Tack for substantiating some criticism. I agree it's important to differentiate, and to take the historical context into account. (I don't know the details to understand which therapy is GET in the sense of the cognitive-behavoristic...
