Then why did SMC hype Professor Crawley's Lightning Process study, which violated core principles of scientific research and seems to be a case of serious research misconduct? that was the first such trial, and of course the idea that the LP cures people is an "extraordinary" claim, in Fox's...

yup. it's well-known among journalists

Exactly. The previous year Crawley did not get two huge grants as well, and her bogus LP study had also become an embarrassment, perhaps, as well as all her other public antics.

True, but it is also a struggle between those who believe in proper science and those who don't. Fox is calling for defense of this body of evidence. The body of evidence does not deserve any legitimate scientific defense. She's got her plot points mixed up.

strange--on the UK site I can see that a kindle is available, but does not show up as an option for me. I guess the kindle rights in US are different.

I can't find an e-edition on the amazon page. Is Fiona's book only in hardcover?

of course she does!!

Is Wessely going to weigh in and complain about her making Holocaust references, as he has when patients make Nazi analogies?

Ha! I will have to read it.

Jo, this is an incisive analysis. The only problem is the FND folks skip #2 in the public presentation of their ideas.

This was the first time I'd spoken with Putrino. He really just kind of emanates compassion and concern for patients--at least that was my impression. If I were sick, I felt I'd be comfortable with him looking out for me.

It might coincide or overlap--but Kennedy is an anti-vaxxer from the left, not the right. that's a big difference. I don't know that your assumption about his audience is warranted. You're right about attitudes toward long Covid online, but I don't share your belief that these are Kennedy's...

What's the basis of this assumption about Kennedy's audience? I think anything that gives him credibility is problematic.

they kept stating that people misunderstood what they meant by CBT and GET, which was ridiculous, and they knew it. No one misunderstood. They were just not willing to act responsibly, admit their errors and apologize for having made such a mistake. I thought their behavior was disgraceful.

This has always bothered me. They are the lead public health agency in the US. They promoted and cited PACE, and then they didn't. I asked multiple times for a comment from Unger or someone about PACE and they refused. That's a complete abrogation of their responsibility as public health...

I think Vogt conceived of himself as a patient. He said he cured himself of tinnitus.

what does this mean exactly?

Jo, I'm sure you've discussed this before but I can't remember where or when. Beyond the brain, what's your take on the idea of mitochondrial dysfunction/broken ATP-cycle/etc?
