Just sent a private message with details. Both Healthwise and Kaiser are aware there are some regional websites with outdated content and this is in the process of being fixed.

If you are on Twitter, consider thanking @Healthwise for removing Graded Exercise Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy from their ME/CFS content and the Kaiser Permanente website.

Alternatively, you can contact Healthwise directly on this webpage:

Thank YOU for staying on top of this! it's so important..

Good job @Webdog ! GET and CBT never were appropriate cure/treatments for ME/CFS and damaging to many. They were just a stab in the dark. Hopefully something more valuable and helpful will come to us all one day.

Just a quick note. Due to a technical glitch, the GET and CBT pages still exist on the Kaiser website. Although nothing actually links to them, these pages unfortunately show up in searches.

These orphaned GET and CBT pages are scheduled to be deleted on Jan 8.

This is huge @Webdog ! Thank you! This is really going to help our community, our families, and our doctors!

Some good news. The orphaned GET/CBT pages on the main Kaiser Permanente website have been removed by Healthwise. Test the links yourself (they redirect to the top level ME/CFS page):

• https://healthy.kaiserpermanente.or...atigue-syndrome-using-healthy-thinking.zx1040
• https://healthy.kaiserpermanente.or...ing-graded-exercise-to-get-more-energy.zx1021
