Guest guest Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 A simple, but moving video (text only); specially in the light of the 4- to 5000 biomedical papers, in which severe abnormalities are demonstrated and not to forget the finding of a new retrovirus: XMRV. It is framed with beautiful music with quotes from *Medical Professionals* in Britain whom are directly involved in ME patient care and survival. Can be found at: http://bit.ly/cbHMoy Some examples: These influential individuals are very powerful and directly linked to: Pro Governmental CFS charities The Linbury Trust The Insurance industry UNUM Media ( TV, Radio, Newspapers, The Military & UN/DOH/NHS/MRC Private Health Care Sector) ```` These people *steer* Politicians away from funding a diagnostic test - funding ME consultants - and training future Doctors ```` *The tragedy of the sufferers is their lack of insight into this process, a deficit that is reinforced by the provision of a pseudo medical label* ```` *ME as a concept, is anatomical nonsense* *Suicide is the only cause of death in CFS* `````` Q) *Let me put that to White, this is your field -psychiatry - as I said, some people have said your beliefs hold to much sway, has too much money been spent on the psychiatric side?* A) *No I don't think so at all* ```` *What would be your initial response to a patient presenting with a self-diagnosis of ME?* The correct answer was *For God's sake pull yourself together, you piece of pond life* ```` *Patients need a diagnosis in order to organise their dealing with the world of benefits. Both self helpbooks and the media have tended to emphasise medical explanations at the expense of psychiatric conceptualisations* ```` *CBT helps patients to re-evaluate their beliefs (and) encourages them to change their behaviour . Change in the belief is an important factor in recovery. Referral to *specialists* should be avoided as they can entrench illness behaviour.* ~jvR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
