He says it works for depression - @Jonathan Edwards

Do you suffer from Autism because it's associated with deteriorative sound sensitivity? I have it, it ruined my life and destroyed my health.

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/jan/07 - Click upon treatment wars for the below quote (There are other interesting articles there). “People who say CBT is superficial have just missed the point,” said Trudie Chalder, professor at the King’s College Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology...

If by BPS you are including the average GP, then the truth is that they don't really fully believe in the awesome power of the mind. It's just some charade they go along with because they need a way of labelling the patient as malingering, or a hypochondriac. They're taught to give patients the...

Agreed. This is what pushed me to turning to Sarah Myhill over a decade ago. I took her tests then she had me popping a ton of her vitamins, minerals, and supplements, none of which led to any improvement. If my GPs & psychiatrists just believed me, treated me with respect and consideration...

I read that entire thread and there was not one mention of long term physical damage from neglect / disbelief of ME.

May be the CBD actually made the patients' Fibromyalgia pain a little worse but there was still some response bias, but the placebo group had more response bias.

No idea why it costs so much, it was cheap to make yourself with a bit of GLB based alloy wheel cleaning fluid before they outlawed it in the UK.

Doctors don't question shoddy research because it backs up their pre-existing worldview that these patients are malingerers or somatizers who feel a bit tired sometimes like we all do after a long day at work. People tend not to question research that tells them what they want to hear. They...

It's CBT upon steroids, (misleads the same way but amplified).

He mentioned some brain regions including the Bilateral Insula and the Amygdala.

What about Invest In ME?

Just found this Reddit thread where doctors agree that Diabetes should be split up in to separate illnesses:

How many of those patients are then disbelieved or locked up in mental hospitals?

People with RA don't cause permanent damage to themselves by walking to the bathroom. RA patients are not known to medical professionals as whiney somatizers with s*** life syndrome. As far as I know they are not locked up in mental hospitals due to the belief that RA can't be deteriorative. As...

I think the medical profession has had enough time now to have collectively written to the World Health Organisation to give deterioraters a legitimate and accurate diagnostic label. They must have known about us for at least 70 years. The truth is that they simply don't believe us and would...

Worsening from pushing through beyond PEM and over your Deterioration Threshold is called a consequential progression whereas getting worse for no reason at all is called a natural progression. It's possible to experience both. Somebody needs to add these terms to MEpedia.

Your average GP / Specialist / Psychiatrist will think you're delusional for saying exercise causes you permanent damage. I was locked up in a mental hospital for it. Even if there are a few doctors who believe in damage, the probability of finding one is low. There is a huge gap between what...

I don't remember but my stance is that it should be cautiously treated with consideration to prevent deterioration because even if there will be a cure in the future, there's no guarantee we will find it within our life time.
