ME findings an insult to victims

Wednesday, 16 March 2011

We as an ME patients' organisation must protest at

the waste of £5m of public money by a group of

psychologists and psychiatrists.

They have spent this amount in six years

finding that increasing exercise is good for

sick and exhausted ME patients and that

they can be talked out of illness by

cognitive behaviour therapy.

To sufferers, this survey is a preposterous and

expensive insult. ME leaves 25% of its victims bed

bound for life.

Neurologists and virologists must pursue the findings

of the Whittemore- Institute, which found

ME patients to be carrying the retrovirus XMRV.

This charity has raised over £9,000 for research and

it is a scandal that patients have to fund research

into their own illness.
