University of Bristol: £1.2 million for CFS research

[snowathlete]

snowathlete's avatar, mysterious cities of gold!!! We could certainly use some of that for research funding.

Yes, the coolest kid's program ever. If I had a city full of gold I still wouldn't be able to justify spending on research like this.

I don't know if someone has already mentioned that Simon Collin was the lead author of the Crawley paper that wrongly claimed a 30-40% recovery rate for the PACE trial:

Let's be clear, where Simon Collin says:
"Findings from this study will help with planning and improvement of NHS specialist services for adults with CFS/ME as well as determining the most effective specialist treatment for adults with the condition."
What he means is that he will be determining which is the most effective specialist treatment out of the following options: CBT, GET or graded activity management, as these are the only NHS treatments on offer.

Maybe the dozens of comments (all disagreeing with AfME) will be a wake-up call.
