I kind of like the information sheet, as an entertaining little thing and so long as I try not to accept that it can feed in to the prejudices which affect how CFS patients are treated. It's so short, and says so little, that it's an amusing illustration of how absurd the situation around CFS is. 'Very tired' makes it sound so silly.
Childhood trauma (for example, physical or sexual abuse) may raise the risk of getting it
True. It may not. It may increase the risk, but less so than it increases the risk of something like heart disease, or these indication of childhood abuse affecting people's immune system:

Who knows? There seems little reason to care either. I think that we all knew it would be best to avoid physically and sexually abusing children, whether or not doing so causes health problems later in life.
"Two treatments can help with CFS: cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and graded exercise therapy."
Given the range of people given a diagnosis of CFS, I'd have thought that there are thousands of treatments which CAN help. In the case of CBT and GET there's clear evidence that the value and efficacy of these treatments have been exaggerated by quacks trying to make money out of them. That's not to say no-one diagnosed with CFS will benefit from them though. Without a detailed and careful examination of the evidence in this area, this statement is just valueless, and as such, I quite enjoy it. I just need to believe it will have no affect upon how patients are treated - and it may not. I can't imagine that many competent doctors would be impressed by such a fact sheet.
