Hi @Kina,
So are you saying that I should just accept what the scientific guidelines say are true without thinking it through and trying to understand it for myself? Maybe in that case I should also just accept that the NICE guidelines for the treatment of ME/CFS are also true?
Will probably have more thoughts to add later...
Guidelines about what constitutes reliable evidence are not the same as the NICE guidelines. I think you can trust the information related to reliability re: anecdotal evidence versus controlled studies etc. If you look at the NICE guidelines related to CFS, you can discern that it is not based on reliable evidence (Pacing and GET). I agree with the following post. Maybe read the thread and apply some logic to your posts rather than just disagreeing without thinking through what you are saying. You asked what constitutes reliable evidence, you have been give some really good answers and I believe you have been provided a good basis for understanding. You just seem to want to twist words and argue so I am out too.
From my perspective @Laelia you have everything you need to understand written in this thread by a number of people who are genuinely trying to help you understand the basics for scientific research and the difference between GPs prescribing stuff. It does come across very strongly that you are twisting words around and disagreeing with every single post or opinion that is made. Perhaps re- read through the thread and ask very specific questions to help you understand if that is genuinely your intention rather than a series of open ended disagreements?. I honestly can't grasp,what's not to understand? This will be my last post here since I feel I've added all I need to and this thread appears to be going around in ever decreasing circles.
