Well your cult has been openly preaching primary psychological causation for decades. So that might be why. :rolleyes:

Crawley is plugging MEGA ( not by name) on Radio Bristol. Crawley claiming she has been "trying for years" to do a large scale biological study.

So thats why she's done so many psychosocial studies then.

The interview is basically spin for MEGA and FITNET. surprise..

It's around 10 mins to 33 mins.

Listen to it.

10/10 for marketing and public relations for Esther Crawley:trophy::moneybag::trophy::moneybag:.

Bravo Esther!

0/10 for science and medicine.

This probably breaches BBC impartiality as public funded broadcaster. It was pure marketing and advertisement for Crawley .

Hammond interviewed his employer Crawley and at the end advertised AYME as the charity for further information.

Crawley did not declare she was medical advisor to AYME.

There is conflicts of interest with Crawley with each party.

No counter balance as tymes trust and MEA were not invited.

Complain here:

I am just listening to the first half, I hadn't realised it's so long

I repeat what I said elsewhere.
I got Ill as a teen. It's just a lie to say all teens sleep too much and act as if sleep "correction", delivered as CBT is some big wonder thing. I slept normal times just lightly and unrefreshing.

Now listening to her defence of PACE…. :( and her saying the reanlysis changes nothing :$

Now listening to her "biology" talk. Hmm. Apparently usa stuff is inconsequential as we are 5 to 10 years away from treatment.. When? Does fitnet or magenta or mega complete? All long or drawn trials 2022

Would love to hear the facts on what I suspect was a refusal around 2010 of the MRC to fund their genetics trial. Probably further damning with of MRC neglect hiding behind supposed to o few /weak applications

Just listened to the bit I missed.

'Must stop doing these small trials' ( take heed Prof Davis and Dr Naviaux)' EC thinks your work is meaningless and you are wasting your time.

It is far better, Dr Esther Crawley says, to let her spend money on CBT and her MEGA studies on Chronic Fatigue.

Breath-taking!

I guess she would insist that Whitney should be given CBT as that is the therapy that works. (no, we haven't had the results yet, but that is what they are going to prove.)

What does Janet think of this?

I would like to hear a discussion broadcast between Prof Ron Davis and Prof Crawley.

I have a question. As she acknowledges that there are several different illnesses involved, why does she tell paediatricians that if a child becomes severely ill, they must be labelled with PRS, with all the horrible consequences, including legal proceedings taken against parents, as severe illness isn't on the 'CFS/ME spectrum'.

Someone needs to ask her this question.

She obviously believes that NONE of these illnesses become severe.

I can only conclude she has no experience of ICC-ME.

How appalling that she recommends GET, given the MEA survey!

She is claiming there is no scientific evidence for it. Try listening to the patients.

Small trials are all this supposed CBT treated illness can raise funds to privately get going. Doesn't she wonder why?
