Evil ?

And what is wicked if not the deliberate
abuse of a vulnerable person ?
What is evil if not the deliberate and intentional denial and destruction of a real physical neurological disease
and replacing it with myths, limited assessment and potentially abusive
therapies
and the lie that you will get better ?

Just tell me how I will get better
with everything being syphoned off from neurological ME
and being channeled into the coffers of the psychiatric lobby
and the insurance lobby ?

Linda's response to the BMJ

Feature : Medical Research  :   Dangers of research into chronic fatigue syndrome Nigel Hawkes BMJ   2011 ; 342 : doi: 10.1136/bmj.d3780  (Published  22 June 2011 ) [ Extract ]   [ Full text ]   [ PDF ] Who are the real victims ?

Nor does it make right the implication that ME is a mental health condition requiring therapy as treatment. Peter White , the lead investigator o

We Remember: A poem for 8th August, Severe ME Understanding and Remembrance Day

We remember them with sadness that they are no longer here with us  We remember them with frustration that they were not helped We remember them with anger that they are gone For we remember  All the hurt All the denial All the extremity of pain All the neglect All the harm All the harrowing moments All the suffering All the grief And we weep with gratitude For their precious lives For their tremendous personal strength For their utmost conviction For their forthrightness in speaking out For their passion in life For their compassion to others In a hostile, empty world. We remember and give thanks For who they were And who they will always be In our hearts.

The quotes below are   the result of a lengthy   search I have conducted. All the material is publically available, I have tried to follow  copyright restrictions where stated. 1. “The number of parents in the UK being threatened by doctors who say they will report families to child protection agencies has doubled in the last year. Fifteen year old Leanne Murray has severe ME and struggles with a range of unpredictable symptoms of ME including nausea, muscle pains, post exertion fatigue and light sensitivity.  “ When Lorraine took her to hospital with chest pains, doctors said there was nothing they could do.  Leanne was sent home with no treatment and the consultant reported her mum to social services.   A week later a social worker arrived on their doorstep in Coatbrid
