Fw: mmi Latest Dubbo results and glutathione depletion--methylation cycle block hypothesis for chronic fatigue syndrome

[Guest guest]



Bob, below is what I wrote on another list re Hickie, in short we are in total agreement.

Ha! and why? and what for?

Should I swoon at Hickie's feet just because he has finally decided that it was better for him to admit that CFS/ME could possibly have a "post-infectious aetiology"? How grand of him! Dr Hickie has caused unbelievable harm to the CFIDS community in Australia, he has stopped people from obtaining disability, he has been instrumental in torturing very sick people (incl children) into CBT/GET.

Should I swoon at his feet for re-circulating some old studies that were stating the obvious anyway (i.e. long term infections leave you feeling exhausted!) I am absolutely stunned by this revelation! Deserves a medal.

Ask him to come back when he has started to investigate the fact that CURRENT persisting long term infections are causing not just fatigue but organ failure in CFIDS patients, then I might begin the swooning (maybe!)

I should really stop this as just reading his name makes me want to ...somatise badly!
