Yes, he was an observer for the DWP. He then left the DWP and was asked to stay on (as an observer, I think) in a personal capacity. He did not declare his many conflicts of interest even when he was there in a personal capacity. I seem to recall seeing that while a DWP representative attended...

Hi, @PhysiosforME , and welcome to the forum. Perhaps you'd like to make a brief post in the 'Introduce Yourself' forum and say a little about yourselves. https://www.s4me.info/forums/introduce-yourself.18/

That whole thread between Keith and KD is worth a look.

Keith Laws has been tweeting on this paper.

Programme on how women were disbelieved for years when they said their breast implants were making them ill. https://www.channel4.com/programmes/dispatches/episode-guide/

It is of course a response to the Blease, Geraghty papers on epistemic injustice. Sharpe feels this need to respond to everything, so that if people who take a different view from him post a philosophical paper he has to do one of his own to counter.

They all claim that CBT-GET is effective in eg cancer, MS, but the evidence is just as awful as it is for ME. The whole thing is utter nonsense.

It's awful. It's poor undergraduate philosophy. The whole article reeks of Sharpe trying to be intellectual and failing dismally. I'm amazed it's been accepted for publication.

Thanks. I am slightly hopeful in that I think if they weren't even going to try, they would have said so immediately. But who knows?

Thanks. I'll update when I know anything more.

Excellent, thanks for your work on this, Michiel. I should say my help was minimal and the credit is entirely Michiel's.

Interesting idea, but I don't think it's one I'll pursue just now. Though, as always, I remain open to help anyone who does.

Yeah, there was self-selection. If anyone is interested I did a 3-part blog on this trial, starting here. https://johnthejack.com/2017/07/02/the-smile-trial-part-1/ I'd forgotten, but I remember now that one adult patient told me that after being persuaded to take an LP course and then not...

I found this fascinating. I've always felt a rhythm to my illness and that my body was doing things at certain times of the day. I haven't done anything in the morning since 1991. https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-bodys-clock-offers-a-rhythmic-target-to-viruses-20190530/
