USA - Mayo clinic

The thing is, the website is telling how they treat their patients at Mayo. Over the years, through forum posts and other social media channels, we have learnt that their service is all about group therapy, CBT, GET and the like.

Exactly, they have changed nothing because they recieve many me/cfs patients who are still trying to find out what's wrong, and offer to enroll them in cbt/get/stress relief services that they have a financial interest in, and are generally just comfortable with that system.

Do they want to stop those programs? Probably not.

The thing is for most discipline, Mayo clinic is the go-to place to get answers on what ails you. I suspect that new patient fall into this trap until they know better.

I didn't know about this partnership, also didn't know that Mayo/Ox have a clinic in Harley St.

At the heart of central London, our clinic provides world-class patient experiences in a relaxing environment.

Here's what they say about exercise:
Exercise. Aggressive exercise regimens often lead to worsened symptoms, but maintaining activities that are tolerated is important to prevent deconditioning. Exercise regimens that start at a very low intensity and increase very gradually over time may be helpful in improving long-term function.

It reminds me of:

The Queen said
"Oh!:
And went to
His Majesty:
"Talking of the butter for
The royal slice of bread,
Many people
Think that
Marmalade
Is nicer.
Would you like to try a little
Marmalade
Instead?"

The King said,
"Bother!"
And then he said,
"Oh, deary me!"
The King sobbed, "Oh, deary me!"
And went back to bed.
"Nobody,"
He whimpered,
"Could call me
A fussy man;
I only want
A little bit
Of butter for
My bread!"

In this case:
For King read physiotherapy department
For butter read GET
For marmalade read pacing and common sense

In the poem and at Mayo the King gets his butter. I wonder what the NICE dairymaid will say next time?

That would be the deconditioning that they still have not established the existence of.

"may"

By which they mean 'we have no idea'.
