When this is eventually shown to be a pseudo-scientific cult involving secretive practices, brainwashing and false health information, I wonder whether the NHS will pay for the necessary deprogramming and treatment for the distress, self blame and missed diagnoses caused by patients being told to ignore symptoms.
On a related subject, members of the CMRC should be asking themselves serious questions about why its deputy chair chooses to make a great fanfare, with SMC support, for a small open label trial with subjective outcomes of quack treatment, yet stays silent about all the good biomedical research talks at the recent CMRC conference.
Why didn't we see Holgate and Crawley doing an SMC press conference quoting important work on orthostatic intolerance, why didn't they publicise Montoya talking about the damage caused by the psychological model of ME?
