This has nothing to do about medicine or medical research.
It has everything to do about politics.
We don't need another 'Nurse Ratched' doctor dictating the dismissive, arrogant and condescending policies toward the ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia patient groups.
You have to find the cause before you begin treatment. That's basic science. The psychosocial model has never been scientific. They cannot produce one organic biomarker to validate their hundreds of modalities that border on quackery. How many diseases have they managed to cover up over the years while patients suffered? Their manipulation and obfuscation of statistical datasets, refusing to release their datasets, magically inventing new labels for various behavior actions without any credible scientific research only reinforces a form of quack science that defies description.
Tell that to the LBGT group who were labeled with a psychological disorder only to be suddenly cured by a culture renaissance. Suddenly, their psychological maladaptive disorder disappeared without explanation for the 'disappearance' of their prior diagnosis. How about missing the mark on ulcers and MS (hysterical paralysis)? The psychobabblists will soon have their shamans, gurus, crystal and aura practitioners, eastern meditation experts, hypnotherapists, past lives regression therapists, EFT and many more weird and off the wall modalities practicing over a vulnerable patient population with their woo woo pseudo-science while shoving tranquilizers down the throats of patients at the behest of the pharmaceutical industry.
Their stupidity in unscientific methods that relate many of the causes of ME/CFS and Fibro to childhood sexual trauma, poor potty training etc. defies the common sense and clear logic and draws the conclusion that this is just junk research that fails to rise to the level of scientifically credibility.
Their smoke and mirror research and sleight of hand manipulation of depressed paptient cohorts to be included in studies with ME/CFS patients so as to skew the results to show improvement of their therapeutic technique of CBT and GET with depressed people not ME/CFS patients. 7 minutes on treadmill cures patients with ME/CFS. Try finding work with that criterion. It seems rather odd the clinical psychologist who have ME/CFS and are trained in CBT and GET seem to have the same difficulty that normal patients in achieving full recovery from ME/CFS.
Any normal person using simple common sense and logic knows that it is not psychosocial somatic disorder after reading about patients’ histories. A patient population consisting of nurses, doctors, medical researchers, clinical psychologists, professors, Gold Medal Olympians, NY Times Bestselling authors, teachers, lawyers, athletes etc. suddenly are suffering an extreme debilitating disease after a post viral infection or trauma and (note this) without any prior history of psychiatric disorders, one can only come to one logical conclusion...Occams Razor.
It is an organic disease. Any other conclusion is irrational, illogical and void of any common sense. Those who make such claims should seek psychiatric help for their intransigent position on defending a position that has no merit in scientific research. Better yet, turn in their diplomas. Hypothesizes constructed on a sieve of modalities based on tainted Freudian misogynists viewpoints and 18th century technology and science is flawed pseudo social science not medicine. For some strange reason, psychiatrists seem bent on taking a time machine back to that era to develop some of their off the wall idiotic theories.
Do you know that the majority of worlds top researchers at the most prestigious research institutes believe in an organic etiology for ME/CFS? …Ian lipkin, Jay Levy, Dusty Miller, Dr. Lights, Dr. Huber, Dr. Montoya, Dr. Ronald W. Davis, Dr. Mario Capecchi, Dr. James D. Watson, Dr. Mark M. Davis, Dr. Hornig, Jonathan Edwards and so many more.
In all reality, the patient community knows that this whole process is not about medicine. This whole process initiated by NIH is about politics straight from the Oval Office.
Further FOIA, investigations, whistleblower and other lawsuits will uncovered what is taking place behind the scenes of the NIH, CDC and the White House especially with the medical, health and disability insurance industry and their lobbyists.
Perhaps in the end, the psychiatrists and clinical psychologists will catch on to the new treatment rage of treating patients with mental health issues with Greyhound therapy. This is an expose of their so called professional standards. It is very similar to the treatment given to Gulf War Veterans.
