The ultimate mind-body technique?At least it's less work.
I'm not seeing how that one stands out.
The ultimate mind-body technique?At least it's less work.
Participants in our study who tried interventions that conflicted with community knowledge about ME/CFS were often reluctant to share their recovery narratives in online communities for fear of being ostracised or dismissed; oftentimes, these conflicts arose around mind-body approaches, which some ME/CFS patients reject because it does not fit their logic model of illness.
Not really, when all authors are from McMaster Uni, and Editor in Chief of the journal is, also, from McMaster Uni.It boggles my mind that this paper made it through peer review given the extreme selection bias at play and the clearly pseudoscientific, fantastic claims that it contains.
Among fully recovered participants, all but one attributed their success to a combination of mind-body techniques and graduated activity (e.g., guided coaching, the Lightning Process, neurocognitive training); one participant achieved full recovery through benediction by a religious figure.
We have several threads on papers by Jason Busse who is on the author list and presumably the professor supervising this research.The paper states: "This study was funded through an anonymous donor via the McMaster University Trust."
I wonder if this donation was solely intended for this study or line of research. If so, it is a bit curious that this donor donated to McMaster University to perform an ME/CFS study, given that there hasn't been a group there that has focused on ME/CFS.
I don’t think it’s a failure of logic on the part of patients. It might be a failure of diagnosis on part of clinicians it might be time or lucky coincidence that leads to recovery. Or social pressures that lead to perceived recovery or performance of recovery.
Since it is said that these patients were reluctant to inflict their programs on the wider community, good luck to them.
Why does Jason Busso continue to refer and encourage people w/LC and ME to his paper when they are telling him that they have become worse with these so called treatments?
"I encourage you to engage with people that have recovered from post-infectious syndromes. They are worth listening to for their insights" They recovered naturally just like PG did.
