Wait, they probably worked "very hard" on this so I feel I should be more respectful of that effort. Here's a better version:

At this point I think the only non-delusional way of putting it is that the interface is what's neither mind nor body, and where everything is happening. Or whatever, it's not as if this is supposed to be a real explanation. It makes about as much sense as saying "I'm not saying it's ghosts, I...

Just arbitrary boxes (OK, fine, circles) and labels to suit their fancy. The only difference with the same stuff from the 19th century is a few label changes and that it was hand-drawn back then. I made an improved version of their diagram:

I wasn't sure where to post what will be the 2nd message in this thread, but it made sense to create a thread for it. There have been several substantial efforts so far in Germany, I've seen some in the US, on mass transit and highways, and it would probably be helpful to have a resource for...

The natural outcome of the biopsychosocial model and its constant need to degrade and lower the quality of evidence. You could use this model to prove that drinking cow urine is good. It's what it's for: to prove anything you want. You just have to try it again and again and again until you get...

Well that is a meandering word salad of old tropes trying to justify the same old debunked nonsense yet again. They're just juggling words but equating them right away anyway. It's a level of twisting the facts to bend to their expectations similar to flat earthers and other types of quackery...

I'm pretty sure they always mean institutions here. Patients are not expected to use the reviews, only professionals are. We are the product, essentially.

They could have just replied with a poop emoji. Same thing, really.

The whole thread on the symposium is interesting. Some good bits, some bad bits (like Knoop). Appears to be about COVID in general but LC was very prominent. https://nitter.net/Pascalgrootveld/status/1714959210528571873 Also: wow is using nitter so much more useful, when you use translate page...

And yet this same dude will say otherwise at other times, and has made his entire business model around pretending that there are. So what are they pretending here? That CBT and GET are just a bit helpful? Or making some arbitrary distinction between their made-up concept of exhaustion disorder...

Microbiota from Alzheimer’s patients induce deficits in cognition and hippocampal neurogenesis https://academic.oup.com/brain/advance-article/doi/10.1093/brain/awad303/7308687 Brain, awad303, https://doi.org/10.1093/brain/awad303 Published: 18 October 2023 Abstract Alzheimer’s disease is a...

Honestly this dropping of a participant is small potatoes compared to the screening process that requires people to believe in the treatment, and the direct involvement and supervision of someone with a huge financial stake. This isn't about one participant, the whole thing is ridiculous biased...

Not that I can think of, but it is definitely in the same MUS/"I don't believe in this illness" category that psychosomatic ideology has captured. Progress is achingly slow, but as more and more conditions falsely categorized as psychosomatic get figured out, it will diminish the validity of...

So it appears that most people (in general, in the media) are focusing on the serotonin and Prozac part, and very little on the platelets and interferon part, or the tryptophan. Figures. I don't know but if there's a deficit of some important molecule I wouldn't try some harebrained way of...

But it's holistic. How can it be bad?!

Is this not all stuff known for decades? Centuries even? Millennia?! Because aside from the silly New age biopsychosocial stuff making fatigue about lack of motivation, all of this has been well-known for decades. I guess there's the cognitive effort being similar that is not fully accepted...

I asked my good buddy ChatGPT what those genes do:

The science behind it? Ah! Good one. These quacks never needed to bother with that before, and are still getting paid anyway, their opinions presented as fact. They won't stop as long as they get away with it, and we are long past the point at which most of the blame lays with the institutions...
