Absence of Effective Policy

ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) a physical, neurological illness, but remains untreated except with psychotherapy - a failed policy based on the views of discredited psychiatrists who deny that ME exists. A non-psychiatric policy of ME research and treatment would end this ongoing medical scandal.

Too right it is a scandal. Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is a terrible disease almost certainly caused by an Enteric virus. It affects the brain and reduces you blood volume by up to 50%. It plays havoc with your organs and leaves patients feeling incredibly weak and in pain and far worse after any exercise. This is in my opinion the WORSE DISEASE IN THE WORLD, more common than BREAST CANCER. and can be unbelievably PAINFUL. Morphine hardly touches these pains

OUR GOVERMENT AND NEARLY ALL GOVERMENTS want to ignore it. THEY JUST WILL NOT PAY THE COSTS OF FIGHTING THIS EVIL DISEASE.

GOD HELP US !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
