The real danger will come when they stop trying to show off what they can do (raising temperatures to 50+C), & start overwriting temperature logs to pretend nothing happened, coupled with temperatures raised to allow food poisoning to grow, then lowered again

The relapse/remission model is a stop-gap for diseases we don’t yet understand
When a disease process is known eg diabetes or the rare #SchwachmanDiamondSyndrome monitoring+treatments make it manageable
Med philosophy has often been the actual problem in #ME let’s not get stuck there again #BPSM

I see your point thank you - it does look like I got it the wrong way round
I’ll go back and change it as I meant to suggest that the BPSM protected doctors from prosecution. Your comment has helped me see the cartoon doesnt say that. Thanks again #Brainfog?

More may follow, obviously - the video evidence is both clear & public.

I agree but this framework raises Qs;
How did no-one notice the BPSM of #ME conveniently lost the Bio aspect?
Why, in the face of death, were doctors willing to believe Px were illness fakers?
Why is the BPSM so popular+so resistant to EBM/science?
How did science denial gain such power?

Agree-but it’s more
Many ideas get publicised but not all get taken up
Why does the BPSM attract drs? It has so many very obvious philosophical flaws, it denies experience, it’s so broad it’s meaningless
It is in fact the definition of a top-down power grab-perhaps that’s where the answer lies?

It’s treated like that now, but actually by 1986 there was a working definition and an analysis of the disease - www.meresearch.org.uk/ramsay-defin...
So the question I (always) want answered is how and why doctors followed the BPSm when the evidence was already there?

Giving up smoking?
Here's how I did it:
Most cigarettes are "habit" (you have them at set times or stuations), ~10% are "addiction" (you need the nicotine).
Start by cutting out "habit" cigs, 1 or 2 each day, over about 3wks.
So, dont smoke at every tea break, or when you get to the lights etc.

Vaping isn't "good" in any sense.
Its better than smoking cigarettes, pipes or cigars, as it has fewer toxic chemicals. That is only true if its a nicotine-only vape liquid, flavours are all bad.
My pinned post gives my proven method of giving up smoking/nicotine addiction.

Vaping isn't a hugely effective way to give up smoking. It still feeds the nicotine addiction, albeit a bit more safely than by smoking cigarettes/pipes/cigars (assuming flavour-free nicotine liquid).
The only way to give up is to break the addiction.

Vaping could save millions of lives. The reason people hate it is because it is pleasurable, and some innate puritan part of their brain insists that quitting smoking should involve suffering

New data shows that vaping is by far the most effective way to stop people smoking. It’s about time we acclimatise ourselves to the evidence.

Das ist keine Erklärung, denn: Mein Vorschlag wäre ja ausdrücklich auf Arzneimittel beschränkt gewesen. Eine Erstattung von Psychoedukation, GET oder irgendwelchen anderen BPSM-Ansätzen wäre davon also überhaupt nicht erfasst gewesen. Diese Gefahr hätte also nicht im Ansatz bestanden.

Wir denken beim Stichwort Therapien die esoterischen BPSM-Quacksalbereien nicht mit, aber der Gesetzgeber möglicherweise schon, oder? Das wäre für mich eine Erklärungsmöglichkeit warum der Weg nicht wie von dir beschrieben beschritten wurde.

#FunFact (which really should be high on Andy Burnham's agenda to sort out):
The UK fire service owns:
Zero Fixed-wing water bombers
&
Zero dedicated firefighting helicopters.
We rely entirely on hiring commercial ones which have access to underslung "Bambi Buckets*"...😒

Here’s a pertinent reply to that story. bsky.app/profile/bpsm...
There is no excuse for vitamin deficiency, even for those in poverty. Its just poor information on how bad cheap food can be.
You can buy a pot of 90 multivitamin & mineral tablets in Lidl for less than £1, & taking one every alternate day will keep any adult from vitamin deficiency for 6 months.

IT’S POVERTY, STUPID!
“Hospital admissions for lack of vitamins soaring in England, NHS figures show.” Poor nutrition the cause.
And yet our government refuses to tax wealth properly or reduce the cost of living by rejoining the SM & CU!

Just watched the 1983 women's 800m world record set by Jarmila Kratochvílová and it's nuts that she is running flat out like that and then just jogging around right after the race. She clearly still had gas in the tank.
