  • Whatever ytgkvxs negative feelings towards myself (Liz) are, they can hardly apportion blame to the rest of the M.E. sufferers and viewers of these videos, who cant have done anything to upset anybody else, through their bringing of this hate campaign into the public arena. Irrespective of a sufferer being able to defraud Prof. A. Pinching into giving a false diagnosis, I can do nothing about being mixed race! :o(

  • You really should work on your grammar and spelling. Im not a brilliant speller myself, so I copy/paste from Microsoft Word, of which I own a fully legitimate copy. If you dont know how to do this, try highlight-control/C-place-curs­or-control/V: Richard probably knows how to do this. The same people who dismiss ME/CFS also have even more extreme doubts about atopic syndrome. People who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones! Liz. B-)

    "there is no evedence for this suposed illness its a just an excuse for people who are just lazie" 5 months ago. I've copied/pasted your comments so that it's not possible for you to delete. People should be aware of your vile comments. These racist liars, Kelly Kinnaird and Darren Nesbit live at flat 3, 45 - 47 Chapel Pk Rd St. Leonards-On-Sea East Sussex TN37 6JB

  • @ytgkvx

    you should be extremely embarassed now! shame on you. sheeple piss me off.

  • Reply to @ytgkvx. Kelly & Daren know nothing about ME/CFS but are just making these comments because of a futile, childish dispute. I moved away from Baird House just to get away from the lies, animosity and harrassment. You've made me give up my home and I'm not there anymore. Can't you just put this behind you and leave my good friends and I alone?

  • I've never been a yuppie, I was a special needs teacher. I've been housebound with ME & fibromyalgia for 21 years since contracting flu.

    This whole 'yuppie flu' & 'chronic fatigue syndrome' nonsense was put about by the psychiatrists working for the large insurance companies that wanted the neurological illness ME reclassified as a mental disorder so they didn't have to pay out compensation .The psychiatrists have taken every penny of taxpayers research and treatment funding & given us nothing

  • Brilliant video.

    The journalists ignorance flows out of him pathologically.

    His 'source' for his discriminatory and prejudice views, are nothing but hearsay by Psychiatrists.

    It's like the BNP saying 'they heard' people who aren't white are inferior and mustn't get the vote.

    Laughable, but ME patients aren't laughing - they are paying the price of this institutional hatred.

    Fantastic video, the man shown has shamed himself, so that's a start.

  • @ytgkvx I think they're sick, but it's a stretch to call it a brain dysfunction. Kind of insulting to those of us who have a documented encephalopathy.

    I hope those who suffer from CFS find the cause of it, and effective treatment.

  • @Macmador It's not difficult to conceive that certain situations may be considered risk factors and may increase the likelihood of ME becoming chronic, but these cannot be connected directly to causality. I.e., a person is probably more likely to be susceptible to the pathogens that cause these illnesses when they have been more active than usual or under stress but that does not mean that the stressful situation caused the problem. Many ME Px do not have these situations when they get sick.

  • I have to wonder how come people who don't suffer from a chronic illness or syndrome must poo-poo away its existence? It just shows that ignorance is bliss. If the persons who are writing these false statements actually took a moment and researched what they are saying, then they too would see past the fog the large insurance companies and psychiatrists are throwing out there! Stop believing everything you hear and use your own brain for once!! No wonder the world is in such disarray!!

  • Never mind the 5000+ studies (peer reviewed) showing physiological abnormalities in ME/CFS patients as stated by luminaries such as Anthony Komoroff of Harvard.

  • In 1995, two years later, Hodgkinson was denying the link between HIV and AIDS, and declaring AIDS didn't really exist in Africa.

    "We've never wanted to belittle the reality of AIDS. Yes, in Africa it doesn't exist as a plague in the way that it's been made out The HIV stuff is an artificial creation. Definitely." Neville Hodgkinson interview by Jody Wells. He was still questioning the linkage between AIDS and HIV in 2000.

    This is the kind of person who denies the existence of M.E.

  • Neville Hodgkinson Sunday Times Science Correspondent. "Yuppie Flu" article 17 July 1988. Interview from "Frontline," Channel 4, 25 July 1993. "One of the best descriptions Ive heard of it was from a doctor at The Institute of Psychiatry," we can only guess who, "who said it was, 'like having one foot on the accelerator and one foot on the brake'." Neville Hodgkinson, degree in Economics from Durham University 1993. Now in 2009 a "Spiritual speaker and author." Ive given up being amazed.

  • What motivated you post this gratuitously offensive remark? Recent research has shown a link with a seriously nasty retrovirus. Denying the existence of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis will have ramifications for the general public, in relation to blood stocks, and breast feeding mothers. Imagine what the world would be like if existence of the AIDS retrovirus was denied.
