I expect that the factors that predict success of GET will be identical to those that predict success of placebo treatment.

I am quite sure that those of us left permanently severely disabled as a result being coerced to exercise will be deliberately omitted from White's study, although there does seem to be a large number of us amongst the membership of the 25% group for the severely affected.

Prof Peter White's conflict of interest statement usually includes the fact that he is Chief Medical Officer for re-insurers Swiss Re.

I thought he didn't bother telling anyone about that sort of thing (though I'm sure you'd know better than I would). Did he not omit to mention this stuff when he did the DWP guidelines for DLA? Or am I hopelessly misinformed as usual!
