Can't say I'm much liking this
Looks like we're being sold down the river (again) from where I stand.
It seems interesting that those here who attended the conference didn't seem to taking those ideas away from it.

Emerging themes included: the likelihood that CFS/ME probably has many causes; the need to ‘stratify’ or group patients with similar symptoms together to see whether they share common causes or markers of biological processes; the need to recognise that what causes CFS/ME might be different to what maintains it; and the need to understand that diseases may not necessarily be either biological or psychological but may, in fact, be both.
That last point is an important one: we need to shout about the fact that CFS/ME has a biological basis. Regardless of any psychological involvement ― you can’t have psychology without biology.
