LP vs XMRV?
Just found Phil Parker (aka Loadsamoney Phoney)'s presentation responding to the XMRV findings - see
http://www.lightningprocess.com/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=Uz7/MsTEqpU=&tabid=371&language=en-US
It contains the usual sprinkling of illogical statements, like "If we assume that on average:
67% of the cases of CFS clients that are seen with the LP have the XMRV virus", etc. etc. bollocks.
Starting this sentence with "If" possibly means you can't question it, but it ignores the fact of a certain amount of rigour applied when selecting the research groups, as opposed to no rigour whatsover in the claims made by Phil Parker.
I deciided to give him a call. Fair play to him, he came to the phone. If you accept that many people have been helped by LP, you can't knock that, but there is a problem with the statements made about it and that I believe damages the quest for the truth.
I asked Mr.Parker if they'd tried LP with HIV positives, and he said no but maybe we should. I reminded him to do the blood tests before they start.
The other problem I have is the whole ethos around the organisation - some clever marketing, very money-focused, lots of disclaimers and a requirement to sign away rights before you start. Lots of mistrust.
In time the truth will unfold.
Btw, I have done the LP out of desparation, but with no benefit whatsover, except gaining an understanding of the name.........it's a process of lightning indeed........your wallet!!!
Love to all
