Just wondering, does anyone know where/who this idea came from?

Thanks, so does anyone know who first started applying it in the case of ME/CFS patients as a cure or treatment?

Who invented (came up with) Graded Exercise Therapy?
In 1990, as mentioned above, a UK researcher pointed out the folly of CBT/GET: It has been suggested that a new approach to the treatment of patients with postviral fatigue syndrome would be the adoption of a cognitive behavioural model (Wessely S, David A et al. JRCGP 1989:39:26-29). Those who are chronically ill have recognised the folly of the approach and, far from being maladaptive, their behaviour shows that they have insight into their illness ( D O Ho-Yen JRCGP 1990:40:37-39).
