As you know the UK's NICE guidelines are in process of being reviewed. This is important for us all as their influence is global.
They are in the process of completing their selection of committee members who will determine the advice that is to be given to clinicians and other professionals about our treatment and nature of the illness.
Last week we heard that Dr William Weir, Dr Nigel Speight and Professor Hooper's applications to be part of the committee were rejected. These three are the best doctors we have and oppose PACE and are very supportive of patients.
I have just heard that Dr Charles Shepherd's (Medical advisor to the MEA) application to join has also been rejected.

We are being 'stitched up'!!!!!
So, time to mobilise the forces and ACT UP! in whatever way we can.

Alison, one of the most diligent researchers on several ME pages has just informed us that latest update of the NICE Guideline committee includes Gabrielle Murphy, one of the authors of the PACE trial and Chris Burton, an advocate of the psychosomatic model who has worked with Per Fink... So that's four professionals with a vested interest in the disproven status quo. This whole thing is a joke.
