Even creepier:
Starting to see that they are trying to use distortion of the old criteria to use 'Recovery Norway/LP' mislead by not giving people correct stats on their own condition - as should be their right - in order to mislead them in behaviour that harms most. It's like a diabetes unit being allowed to use a dodgy programme which they market by getting in that one person from 1998 who it turned out had hypoglycemia due to other causes but they think is still allowed to be used as a flag-bearer for claiming 'everyone recovers'.
Based on assumptions/research in non-ME/CFS persons. Whereas e.g. Workwell research shows erm that ME/CFS - when you acknowledge you are treating an actual illness with PEM, or people with it - means such an approach has the risk of reducing someone's energy envelope/threshold.
That is a contradiction in terms - the whole webpage on that website is someone creating themselves a false reality where they can feel comfortable in their delusions that all their ignorance works. I'm guessing they still don't look for PEM as that would reduce their gravy-train and I highly doubt any of their recovery tales from years gone by are scouted to make sure they have PEM/PESE ie ME/CFS. Which I think should mean they are mis-selling/lying by having them there if they cannot prove that.
The interesting thing in this case is that whilst King's decided to 'play the game' by claiming they don't treat ME/CFS because they still call it CFS or CFS/ME and use various different names, this lots have gone with ME/CFS. But I see no talk of PEM/PESE, and they clearly don't know the codnition ME/CFS at all from what they do or say. So they should, in a sensible world, be more straightforward to right-off as incompetent and to be closed and any staff deemed as such?
PLus, Ergo it [their tone and phrasing re: stamina] is disability-bigotry-sewing/incitement, and incompetence and lack of knowledge is no excuse but also inexcusable given that is the one thing their position requires.
So....
I'm imagining the lovely patronising marketing-focused spiel
gradually increase activities which decreases your function and health over time.
Heck your willpower will be there as you slowly make yourself more disabled! We'll 'motivate you all the way to do more, and look disappointed with you for getting worse'
And we'll make you take responsibility either way: if you don't do enough you make yourself worse we'll say you 'didn't try hard enough' and if you do we'll say 'you didn't try hard enough'. But to ensure the coercion is there we will only tell you that is what we will do at the end.
And we'll stick up out of date anonymous testimonials/where we didn't check someone had PEM as if that is representative of 'recovery' from the illness but not provide enough info for anyone to be sure they had it at all. It's OK that we only use recovery ones because we claim these are 'inspiration', even though really we should be operating a medicine-based department for an actual health condition and be open and honest on prognosis and information.
Why can you be more like Dave? Dave has stamina... because he recovered in a year.
