Like when you claimed PACE showed that at least 1 in 3patients with ME recovered using GET/CBT? Why did you say that?

Replying to
er because it was true. As shown by the trial data and my referencing this in article was upheld by PCC

You actually reported the no. of patients in the 'normal range' (not a 'recovery') for SMC+CBT & SMC+GET. SMC was the control.

You said: "at least one in three patients with ME improved or recovered using" .. "supervised exercise & talking therapies"

Replying to

PCC said it was an opinion peice in a disputed area with evidence on both sides. They didn't judge accuracy
2
Replying to
that's actually exactly what they did judge on because people referred under accuracy rules.

I just hope your article doesn't cause doctors to treat patients with ME with any more contempt than they currently do.

Issue is does (not found inaccurate) => accurate and does unknown illness => mental illness.
