Effectiveness of distant healing for patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, 2008, Walach et al

IIRC Sharpe tweeted the SMC press release, or some other newspaper article, about the SMILE trial.

Can't search though, blocked. Think he said something like promising.

 

We so need a diagnostic test. This is a complete and utter circus. I can't take much more of this absolute BS, it actually beggars belief.

 

Bizarrely, at my workplace we are having a training day next week and someone saw fit to include a session on pranic healing, under the guise of Health and well being. Apparently a variation on reiki, so another form of distance healing. I raised enough of a fuss, pointing out there is zero research to prove it helps anyone, that I’ve been excused from the session. I am tempted to go anyway and raise the question about research and see what the practitioners say. But probably not! Instead I plan a walk to have some quiet in the midst of an otherwise intense day. Far better for my mental wellbeing I suspect!
NB I don’t have ME myself.
