Right, they've mentioned the pros but what they forgot to mention is the cons, the huge damage their ideology causes, the hammer that destroys patient's support networks by misleading them into thinking the patient can not get permanently worse, can not suffer from exercise, must not be helped in to a "sick role", has an unfounded fear of exercise, that objective abnormalities are only due to de-conditioning or that abnormalities are otherwise benign, etc, etc.This is the whole quote that's relevant to the PACE Trial results:
"Today there is an emerging consensus that CBT can moderately improve outcomes in a minority of people with ME/CFS, benefiting around 10 to 15% of patients over and above the benefit of standard medical care...
Once you factor that danger, then the 10% -15% isn't really worth it, if CBT/GET were a drug, they were be banned due to side effects.
