London resilience clinic : Holistic Chronic Fatigue Treatment

not a recommendation. I just found their website.

the constant use of 'chronic fatigue' would suggest otherwise

there is a video that I haven't watched.

is this legal in the UK?

there is more on treatments and an about us section.

Chronic Fatigue Treatment - Chronic Fatigue Clinic - CFS Treatment - The London Resilience Clinic

 

World-leading …

I mean isn’t the idea when you are doing a big oversell that you keep it feasible whilst bigging it up ?

 

In the video she references medical cannabis, which is legal in the UK through certain licensed practitioners I think.

Medical cannabis is legal in the UK if prescribed by a specialist for certain health problems.

To be eligible for medical cannabis, you need to have a diagnosed physical or mental health condition that has not been relieved by traditional therapies. A specialist will review your records to confirm that medical cannabis is the best option for you and that you don’t have any contraindications.

 

That’s used as a pseudonym for the broader meaning they have for mental health now (which twists meaning mental illness with people being happy into a bundle so people who are fine can use it to excuse indulgences whilst when ill people need something not awful it’s suggested they have depression and used against them )

I’m just so sick of all this shape shifting everyone is happy to allow and play along backing up that not responsible characters are allowed to do

We just never get out from under them, fight one battle to prove you’ve a real issue that the bs behavioural doesn’t work fir and they just dumb down the team further and bring in new terms to trap you under

the existence of places like this I think it needs to be accepted are because of huge faults in the system that wants to call itself official but behaves as abusively and unscientifically to us - for us.

we can’t win of course because we are idiots if we do try these and not bothering if we haven’t fixed ourselves

 

I'd be curious to try it. The only possible problem is that I get palpitations sometimes and might have an occasionally irregular heart beat, and I think this might be a contraindication.

 

@hinterland that's good to know. I've tried OTC cannabis gummies for menopausal symptoms, mostly for sleep, but I also get palpitations so it's good to be aware of side-effects. The cannabis did help with racing thoughts before bedtime and provided a more restful state. I stopped taking them because they were high in sugar so I'm going to try again in a different form. We have cannabis shops everywhere here in Canada.

My x-financial advisor's back pain has been greatly helped with prescription oil cannabis. He is able to get up in the morning and walk without pain.

 

Cannabis is legal in Canada and I have access to medical cannabis, though not for myself (not that it's any different). I've been using it for years.

Not surprisingly: makes little to no difference overall. It's great for sleep, to alleviate pain and makes the soul-crushing nature of this wretched illness more tolerable for a few hours. This is not a treatment, it's coping by sedation. Well, I'd say it makes a tiny difference overall simply for how much better my sleep is and my mood is much improved because I can escape a bit from how horrible my existence is. On primary outcomes, null. On secondary outcomes, better than nothing. This is not competent health care.

The most absurd thing is that this pseudoscientific drivel is actually less ridiculous, a bit more accurate, and slightly more effective, than the standard approach. Basically, when hippies with something to sell have a better solution than world-renowned experts in a profession, you have serious problems with this profession. But this is one standard we have seen in so-called evidence-based medicine: if some BS pseudoscience is no worse than some other BS pseudoscience, then it's, well, it's not effective but somehow some people will pretend anyway.

 

I take cbd capsules sometimes. They help period pain. I also drink the Trip cans at functions where people are drinking alcohol (usually at a wake, sometimes Xmas) they’re nice. But they’re only like a healthier version of alcohol. They’re taking the edge off and helping you forget your problems.
Someone did try to tell me they cure ADHD and cancer…
