    Hi markmc20001, I am concentrating on the UK for a reason. A large part of why is the biopsychosocial agenda for ME has its origin there. The CDC comes under the same category as NICE but in the USA. I am aware of Dr. Friedman's problems, and what I have to say about that over time will address the issue even though I am focussed on the UK. The problem is I have to lay a lot of groundwork, do a lot of investigation, to get to that point. My main hope is that I can assemble enough evidence that my argument is much more than speculation, but I wont know that for sure untiil its done. One of the things my model is building towards, I think, is showing how such entrenched bias can achieve traction in an educated medical community. Its not just political, its cultural bias within medical training, medical standards, and medical oversight. In the context of that cultural bias they are vulnerable to certain types of political influence and non-science. In particular I am seeing a failure in medical research culture. Traditional scientific standards have been lost in a rush to achieve technical research standards. As a result some of the research looks good on paper but has no real substance. Bye, Alex

    Heya Alex, Please don't forget the Dr Kenneth Friedman youtube video where he has tried to educate students on ME, and has been ostracized by the medical establishment.

    My opinion is college is good for many things, but unfortunately most doctors seemed conditioned to go right to the CDC for information when out of school(or face legal issues for not following the protocol).

    We all know the CDC leads straight towards the path of giving people a bunch of toxic drugs for depression, ADHD, anxiety, sleep, etc... or worse ye leads to treatment with CBT, psychologists, and dentists(joke:dentists have appeared on CFS research papers, and the ones putting mercury in our mouths).

    The drugs are the wrong solution and will probably damage ones stomach and liver if taken long enough.

    It all comes back to the elected officials. With so much money controlling politics it is impossible to get ANYTHING but whatever opinion is BOUGHT by the corporations.

    We saw a good example here in the USA with our election. Newt Gingrich was about to QUIT the GOP race when he was given $5,000,000 by ONE person. Now Newt went from dead last in the presidential polls, to leading the GOP race!!! THAT is buying the election!!! Newt is evil, the guy left his wife when she was laying in the hospital bed dying from cancer.

    So what happens, is the corporations and insurance lobby use the revolving door to influence whoever and whatever they want in government. This includes Merck's vaccines, or Lockheed's missle's, or Goldman Sach's CDO's. Pick your weapon of mass destruction.
