PHILOSOPHY
(Godess of): But what's your
job? There's no harm in asking that.
LUCIAN: I'm an anti-cheatist, an anti-quackist, an anti-liarist,
and an anti-inflated-egoist. I'm anti all the revolting types
like that - and there are plenty of them, as you know.
PHILOSOPHY [smiling]: Well, well! You're quite an
anti-body, aren't you?
LUCIAN: I certainly am. You can see why I've got myself aso much
disliked, and why I'm in such a dangerous situation. Not that I'm
not an expert pro-body too. I'm a pro-truthist, a pro-beautician,
a pro-sinceritist, and a pro-everything that's pro-worthy. But I
don't find much scope for exercisting my talents in that
direction, whereas thousands of people are always queuing up for
the anti-treatment. In fact I'm so out of practice as a probody,
that I dare say I have lost the knack of it by now - but I'm a
real expert at the other part of my profession.
PHILOSOPHY [seriously]: That's bad. They're opposite sides
of a coin, as it were. So don't specialize in one at the expense
of the other. They should merely be different aspects of the same
fundamental attitude.
LUCIAN: Well, you know best, Philosophy. But I'm so constituted
that I can't help hating bad types and liking good ones.

Classics, p. 177-8)

($) Some of my comments are decidedly satirical and sarcastic, and not in the
spirit of rational
science, and also not as certain trolls or idiots on the Phoenix Forums think
one should 'respectfully'
express oneself. You can skip ALL my comments by going directly to
ME - Resource - commentless.
And speaking for myself, I am personally involved in this fight
around my pain, my discrimination, my
broken human rights, and don't suffer fools gladly, especially not lying fools
as administrate on the
Phoenix Forums, whereas the persons who
these trolling fools, on purpose or willy-nilly, from cowardice,
stupidity and justified lack of self-respect are helping, viz. the
Wesselys, Whites, Bleijenberg etc. are
the dirtiest sleaziest most immoral players I know of in psychiatry and in
psychology, which I studied
and have an M.Sc. in. (*)
In the following tables, the authors and titles with
links are set apart on one line, with some explanatory comments by me
under it. The links are either PDF or HTML-files.

| Ben |
World Health
Organization's placing of ME and CFS |
A fairly brief description how
the World Health Organization has classified ME and CFS. This is of considerable importance for patients and
doctors, since psychiatrists and psyhotherapists (not real scientists) since decades
choose to wipe their asses with the classification of the WHO, and instead propose
their own pseudo-scientific criterions and socalled "evidence based science" (what
results if you lie with statistics and criminally incompetent or insane methodology).
Also, the American Psychiatric Association seems to be
trying to reclassify ALL diseases so as to have a psychological dimension, that is lorded
over by psychiatrists, in the interests of incomes for psychiatrists, and a somatical
dimension, that only will enter the end of curing the patient (if not rich) after
psychiatrists have agreed the patient is ill.
This seems to be planned to effective from 2013.

Carruthers et al |
Canadian Criterions
(for medical folks) |
The Canada Criterions (as they are mostly known) for diagnosing ME
from 2003,
prepared by 14 medical specialists for the
Canadian government. Note this is
written mostly - unavoidably for such a report -
in medicalese.
These are the criterions for diagnosing someone as having ME that are
taken most
seriously by real patients with ME and real
scientists researching ME. The alternatives
are either less precise and useful (Fukuda
Criterions) or consist almost whole of
intentionally obscure psyhiatrists waffle
(Oxford), that aims underhandedly to
stigmatize patients with ME as insane if not
malingerers, for which reasons patients
with ME are excluded from all help, which saves
the state and the health insurance
companies enormous amounts of money.

| Hooper |
Magical Medicine (2010) |
This is by professor
emeritus Malcolm Hooper, who taught medical chemistry
and is a
very fine overview of what was know
scientifically and claimed and done non-
scientifically as regards ME/CFS in
Great-Brittain.
This is another Must Read for anybody interested in the facts about
and around ME,
written up by someone with a great amount of
relevant scientific knowledge

Hooper |
Engaging with ME: Lectureslides
Sparsholt (extensive,
clear) (2005) |
Nominally, these
are the slides for a lecture by professor Malcolm Hooper in 2005, but
they provide a VERY clear overview of ME if
you know a little about it, and also
provides many excellent or interesting
references, links and illustrations.

Myhill |
CFS-Book: Diagnosing and Treating CFS
(27th ed, 2009)
|
This is the 27th edition of medical doctor Sarah Myhill's CFS-Book,
that is quite long
but is very probable quite useful for
anyone with ME or caring for (or about) someone
with ME.
Dr. Myhill has treated thousands of patiens
with ME since 1982, and with considerable
success also, while she has the merit - for
me - that she conceived of a bio-chemical
theory to account for the known facts of ME
that is very similar to my own, that I
reached completely independently in 1987
(two years before knowing that ME/CFS
existed), and that others also have come
to, that is best classified briefly as the
mitochondrial hypothesis or theory, to the
effect that the energy-pathway by which
the mitochondriae produce energy
(ATP-ADP-AMP and back) is broken in persons
with ME.
Again, this is a Must Read for anybody
interested in the facts about and around ME,
also because it contains very many useful
tips.

Guidelines for
psychiatrists |
Professor Wessely
and his gang, like professors Reeves and Bleijenberg in resp. the US
and the Netherlands, have since over two
decades insisted on totally ludicrous grounds
that persons with ME are not ill, but are
insane or malingerers, albeit it they often,
though certainly now always, use more
hypocritical terminology.
Psychiatry, since its inception by the cocaine-addict and
un-uncloseted lover of
of prof. Wilhelm Fliess (also obsessed with
noses and cocaine), has never been anything
like a real science, but consists instead
for the most part of tales, that for the most
part are meant to help psychiatrists to get
status and lots of money for selling
psychobabble to the naive, the stupid, the
ignorant and the easily impressed.
Not all psychiatrists are mad, and not all psychiatrists are bad, and
dr. Eleanor Stein
wrote a good set of guidelines concerning
how a sane and moral psychiatrist should
treat his or her patients with ME.

Fatigue Chronique
(French) |
Professor Wessely, mentioned before, the mad Fraudian still teaching
waffle at KCL,
very often lies, and does so very plausibly
and credibly, if one is not as informed as
he is. One of the lies he spouted
effortlessly - see:
ME: Back to the Middle Ages
with professor
Simon Wessely - P.S. - is that (I quote the KCL-liar and KCL-sadist
literally:
'Each country has different syndromes. They don't have CFS in France'
The above file, in fine French, was located by me with 6 minutes of
reading this
first, and also has the merits of being a
good exposition of what ME is, besides
refuting other lies of Wessely in the
linked interview.
The reason to list it hear is to illustrate
my theses that professor Simon Wessely
is both a pathological quite possibly
psychopathic liar (and apparently, like many of
that ilk, quite charming, superficially)
and an evident medical sadist.
|
|
PAIN |
|
Pain is one of the main symptoms for most
persons with ME, again one of the many
facts prof. Wessely usually conveniently
forgets, denies, or pooh-poohs.
|
|
McCleary et al |
Pain
Practioner (2010)
|
This is by the
director of the CAA for the American Association of Pain Management.
It is useful if not deep (and a big
download for a few pages) and is here because
it is so far the only halfway decent file I
could find on the topic of managing pain
from ME, which I have a lot of, since
decades also.

H.
JOHNSON |
|
Hillary Johnson is an
investigative journalist who got ME and then decided to investigate
why so little is effectively done in the
USA to help people with ME. This she did very
thoroughly and managed to write up and get
published as a book, called "The Osler"
(after a 19th C brilliant English medical
doctor).
The summary of the book is: There has been
an enormous amount of corruption,
fraudulence, incompetence and intentional
deception in the US, especially on the part
of the CDC, and the reasons why, apart from
the theft of millions, personal vanity,
evident sadism and lust for power and a
well paid easy7 job for the main perpetrators
at the CDC are still unclear (and may be
tied up with state politicking and health
insurance intrigueing).
The book is fine
and fat and thorough, and since it was published also in the US
and Johnson is American, one may safely
infer that Johnson's facts - that might
easily be dismissed but for the fact she
named names, quoted documents, gives
dates etc. etc. - will stand up in a US
court, and hence are probably most or all
quite as she wrote.
It cannot be
quoted here (except for some parts) because Johnson retains the
copyright and mostly forbids that, quite
justifiedly also, because she is ill with
ME, needs an income, and wrote and
researched the book.
|
|
Neal Karlen interview |
Continueing the previous note: What I did find was a
good and not long interview
with Hillary Johnson, which I included because I believe nearly all
really good things
in the human world are done by original courageous individuals who
refuse to conform
to accepted prejudices and refuse to collaborate
with corrupt holders of
power for the benefits of payment and protection by the powerful.
Hillary Johnson is a very brave woman, and knowingly took the risk
of having her
life and health destroyed on purpose by many of the corrupt medical
bureaucrats
whose doings and crimes she unearthed.

| DSM-5 |
|
The DSM-5 is the fifth in a series of Diagnostic
Statistical Manuals compiled by
the American Psychiatric Association of so as to arrive at sets of
symptoms to
diagnose persons with some form of psychological distress or
problem in an
evidence based agreed upon science based manner.
This is a respectable end but lately, at least
since the DSM-IV, this Manual
is being turned into an instrument to serve the interests of
psychiatrists,
politicians and health-insurors by redefining symptoms, description
and terms
in ways that best serve these interests while seeming to be
scientific.
This is most pronounced in the proposals for the
DSM-5, that is intended to be
in force from 2012 onwards, and that seems to seek to add a
psychological
component to many somatic diseases and to insist on treating these
first,
together with, or only as therapies for many diseases, and to seek
to
reclassify diseases with an unknown etiology or cause as primarily
or only
as caused by psychiatric symptoms ("dysfunctional beliefs",
"neurasthenia)
to be exclusively or predominantly treated by psychotherapy and/or
forced |
'healthy exercise'.
The last is in particular so for ME, CFS, Fybromyalgia and similar
diseases,
that the World Health Organisation, which is a body of medical
doctors of
all kinds, rather than an interest group of psychiatrists,
classifies and has
classified as somatic diseases, of a neurological kind, expressly
without
psychitatric diagnosis.
For this reason, combined with the fact that in
many states psychiatrists
tend to have a stronger influence on political decision making than
other
groups of medical men, the contents of the DSM-5 to be, are of
rather
great importance, since they run the risk to be 'scientifically'
diagnosed
in terms that amount in non-medicalese non-euphemistic terms to
'malinger or insane', and not to be tested for somatic symptoms,
not to be entitled to help and support somatically ill persons get,
and to be forced to Cognitive Behavourial Therapy to cure them from
the delusion that they are somatically ill and forcing them to
forced
labour in the form of Gradual Exercise Therapy to teach them
correct
discipline and work modes.

MITOCHONDRIA |
|
Mitochondria are tiny parts of human cells in which
the energy is generated the cell
can use, by the use of some pretty amazing and beautiful
bio-chemistry, in which
ATP is broken down to ADP which is broken down to AMP, releasing
energy, and then
rebuilt to ATP.
See below for more: This is a very interesting subject for anyone
who wishes to
know how one does manage to do anything with one's body and whence
one does
get the energy to do it.

the subject,

Mitochondrial Disorders |
This is a clear overview of the subject in not so
many pages for laymen.
It is a bit simpler and less detailed than the previous item.
|
| Parik et al |
Myths and
facts about mitochondrial diseases |
This is a short and clear summing up of what its
title says. Like the previous
two items it is helpful for patients who are not medically trained
or specially
knowledgeable
|
|
Myhill et
al |
Chronic
fatigue syndrome and mitochondrial dysfunction |
This is a VERY interesting paper that originally
appeared in the Int J Clin Exp Med
(as they themselves abbreviate it) in 2009 for at least two
reasons, for me:
First, it outlines almost exactly the theory I myself found in
1987, before knowing
about ME, then being ill since 1.1.1979 and having rather extensive
statistics on
my own experiences with various supplements, after diving into some
medical and
biochemical textbooks. I wrote this theory out in Dutch and have
given it to
several medical doctors none of whom did anything with it (and the
average G.P.
or "medical specialist" an average patients gets to see is not a
research scientist
at all nor trained as one, but is trained as a practitioner of
medicine rather than
anything else).
Second, it is an eminently sensible theory, that
should get the research funding
to get it properly tested, investigated, tweaked and, if it stands
up, used on a
wide scale.
This is highly recommended and fairly readable
also for laymen. If you want to
see - as I was pleased to discover myself - what line of thought I
followed in
1987 you should look at figure 1:
I copied this because this is just the line of
reasoning and indeed manner of illustrations I followed in 1987.
It is explained in - various degrees of - detail in handbooks of
biochemistry or musdcle physiology, and
is in itself a rather amazing and beautiful bit of biochemistry.
And incidentally, the Mitochondrial Hypothesis
for ME/CFS is co-tenable with the XMRV Hypothesis
for the same, for a reason based set out by an analogy: If one can
manage to tweak the water or gas
supplies to a house in which people live who cannot leave it (as
patients live in their bodies), then
you can be sure of upsetting a great manner of routines in the
house that depend, directly or
indirectly, on ordinary supplies of water or gas.
Also incidentally: I do not know which hypothesis
is correct if any or both, and so far no one knows,
but two advantages I personally see with the mitochondrial
hypothesis is that I don't feel really
optimistic about harbouring a retrovirus, if I do, and that, as I
said, I dreamt up this theory myself,
on the basis of rather good statistics of my situation and
experiences and experiments with
supplements from 1985-1988. (But this is a matter of personal
feeling, and facts are facts whatever
one's feelings about them.)

| Bell |
ME/CFS
as a Mitochondrial Disease |
This is a short and quite clear exposion of doctor
David Bell, who treated a large
number of patients with ME of the mitochondrial hypothesis for
ME/CFS.

SCIENCE OF ME |
|
This section contains scientific discussions and
matters relevant to the
scientific study of ME.
Since there are at present in broad terms two
kinds of science involved
in that study, namely pseudo science (of the CDC, of KCL, of
the
University of Nijmegen i.a.), generally of a (pseudo-)psychiatric
kind,
and real science, there are sections for both.
It is to be noted that especially in this section
and its subsections
there is FAR more material on the internet than is present here.
|
|
Maartensz |
Scientific Realism versus
Postmodernism |
This is a short and clear exposition that should be
accessible to anyone
intelligent enough to be able to study a real science.
By way of introduction:
It is highly probable, given my obvious great intelligence and
learning and most
excellent degrees, that if I had been healthy or indeed if I would
have had some
help with my medically agreed upon real, debilitating and painful
invalidity, I had
been an academic employed in research and teaching of philosophy of
science,
methodologogy and/or mathematical logic.
As outlined in the above
SCIENCE OF ME this is of
considerable important
in that ME-patients lifes are being destroyed and ruined on the
basis of
truly sickeningly stupid pseudo-science the creation and reception
of which
I can only explain by sadism and/or utter corruption on the part of
those
who generated this irrational trash and by utter indifference of
the majority
of medical doctors to the suffering of patients with ME/CFS.
Human degenerates like Wessely, White,
Bleijenberg and Van der Meer, the
modern doctors MEngele of ME, should have been kicked out of
science and
their professional associations since decades for being grossly
intellectually
incompetent besides being morally sick and lowering the reputations
of
medical doctors, psychiatrists and psychotherapists to the level of
sick
sadistic servants of their own perversions and of politicians and
health-
insurors.
And indeed the enduring strength and power of
degenerates - check the link! -
like
Wessely, White, Bleijenberg and Van der Meer, who
propound fallacies in
the name of sciene to please their own perversions and to suck up
to
politicians and health insurors, is
that so very few people have real knowledge
of real science and real knowledge of its logical, philosophical
and methodological
basis.
I do, and the link is a translation of a Dutch
piece I wrote several years ago,
that quite clearly outlines a 9-fold contrast of oppositions
between real science
and pseudo science, also in terms any intelligent reader can grasp.
Incidentally, the reader should realize that,
especially since the rise of post-
modernism (that since its rise has not disappeared, since its
acolytes are
professors in soft "sciences" allover the world) and since the
radical decline
in standards of admission and teaching in all but the very best
universities
in the West, numerically and proportional there are at present far
more
pseudo scientists than real scientists, and this will remain so the
coming
generation at least, apart from a worldwide revolution or the
disappearance
or collapse of human civilization, for a reason the physicist
Max Planck
already
noticed, next to the ordinary facts about power, groupthinking and
the
average human profligacy, also prominent amongst academics, and
especially
academics in pseudo-sciences:
"A new scientific truth does not triumph by
convincing its opponents
and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents
eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar
with it."
Sad but realistic.

| Maartensz |
Philosophical Foundations of Rational
Science |
This I published in 2009 on my site with the title "Ten good modern philosophy texts"
but since all of them are about the present title I chose that one
for this occasion.
Note that it concerns basically a pile of books that, when put on
top of each other
may be as tall as I am (1.95 m), whence it may be inferred with
utter certainty
that it is a LOT of reading.
But it is - or would be - very interesting
reading, that is quite relevant to the real
understanding of real science, and indeed I doubt that anybody does
have a real
understanding of real science that does not have
most of the scientific, logical and
mathematical knowledge outline in items 9 and 10 of my text.
Incidentally, in case you asked
'But how come there are real good physicists who
are real good physicists without having bothered to read those
texts?' my answer is
that a real good physicist imbibed most of that knowledge while
learning physics (at
a real good university), for I am not talking of pseudo-scientific
posturing but about
the real intellectual, mathematical and logical foundations of ALL
real science.
(Indeed, you can pick up most of it in Richard Feynman's "Lectures
on Physics", if
you are interested in physics and intelligent enough).

List of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) resources for doctors |
This is a quite short (11 Kb) but quite useful list
of books, papers and internet
material about which the unknown write starts with writing:
List of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) resources
for doctors
Suggested use. All but one of the following
resources are free.
I suggest doctors acquire and review all of them.

| De Meirleir et al |
Unraveling the origins
of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis |
This consists of the slides of a talk professor De
Meirleir - one of the co-authors of
the Canada Criterions, for which see above - gave in May 2009. Its
subtitle is:
"Gastrointestinal dysfunction, Production of Neurotoxins and
Environmental Exposure".
It is quite instructive, especially if you have been dipping in
some of the literature
mentioned in this file, and professor De Meirleir has a great and
deserved reputation
among persons with ME for helping them and writing very sensible
science about
ME/CFS: He is a real scientist and real medical doctor who does and
thinks like
a real scientist and real medical doctor should.

PSEUDO
|
|
Pseudo science is the science of deception by
abusing science for ends it
is not designed for. Believers in pseudo science generally believe
it is real
science, usually for lack of scientific knowledge or strong
personal, political
or religious interests or prejudices.
The originators of it come in several flavours,
depending on their ends, methods
and state of (self)delusion. The Viennese psychiatrist Sigmund
Freud, like most
or all of his well-known contemporary psychiatric competitors, was
for the greatest
part a conscious pseudo and fraud; many of his psychiatric
followers and of other
psychiatric men of ideas and phrases, generally are more deluded
and less clever,
and indeed may do well (sometimes) for respectable reasons, simply
because they
mean to be helping people and have found some understanding of them
somehow.
Those who want to know more about pseudo sciences
as sets of hoaxes, delusions,
scams, conmanship and outright insanity are recommended to read
Martin
Gardner's "Fads and fallacies in the name of science"
and "Science: Good, Bad and
Bogus", both also interesting for anyone interested in science
anyway, and very
well nwritten and informed.
The pseudo-psychiatry of the schools of Wessely,
White, Bleijenberg, Fink and
other psychiatric 'specialists on CFS' are conscious bogus
scientists, of whom the
kindest explanation is that they, at least and in any case, try to
serve their
own interests and those of their psychiatrc and psychotherapeutical
colleagues.
In fact, this is the case for the vast
majority of the schools and therapies 'in the
name of science' psychiatrists and psychotherapists have practised
and written
books about and did 'evidence based' science in (methodologically
rotten usually
invalid statistics), for the same reason that the vast majority of
the religions
must be mistaken since they mutually contradict each other and both
as regards
how things are to be explained and how one should act.
For a true and still valid description of
psychiatry by the former professor of psychiatry, later professor
of neurophysiology and one of the founding fathers of cybernetics
and neural networks see
McCulloch vs. Wessely
and for a true and still valid description see the
fundamental description of what pseudoscience is by the
worldfamous physicist Richard Feynman see:
Feynman vs Wessely.

|
REAL |
|
Real science is vastly different from pseudo
science in methods, ends, outlook,
and assumptions, and is concerned with finding the real truth about
real facts,
events and processes by means of intersubjective objective methods
of experiment
and research, logical and mathematical argument, and proper design
and methodology.
It is mostly but not solely found in the hard (as
opposed to soft) sciences like
physics, chemistry, bio-chemistry and applied and pure mathematics.
The reasons
these sciences are real is mostly because their subject-matters
have been shown
to be amenable to mathematical methods, concepts and theories, and
to be open
to repeatable experimental testing, while also being concerned with
things that
are fairly simple or general, rather than complex and variegated:
Each atom of
copper has the same properties as any other, apart from location;
each human
being is uniquely differenf from any other human being and vastly
more complicated
than an atom.
Real science started with Galileo, who was the
first to see and state clearlythat real science must be based on careful experimentally
established facts
and conceived in logical and mathematical terms, since the Book of
Nature,in so far as a man's mind can read and understand it, is written in
mathematics or only comprehensible mathematically (as in
statisticalmechanics) for a human mind.
The reason why mathematics is so important is
that it is the scienceof arbitrary structures and everything is some kind of structure at
least, apart from whatever else it may be (such as pleasant to the
eye or taste).

IACFS/ME-Newsletter |
Question and
Answer session with Dr. Mikovits |
This is just what it says: an attachment to a
IACFS/ME-Newsletter of
April 2010 consisting of the text of a question and answer session
with
Dr. Judy Mikovits, who is the leading researcher of XMRV at the
Whittmore Peterson Institute.
It is quite interesting, contains
rather a lot of information I was not aware of
before reading it, and will be interesting for anyone desiring to
know where
the WPI stands or stood in April 2010.

SITES |
|
This section differs from the others in supplying
links to websites
concerned with ME that are not on this site.
I will have to update this but for the moment
copy my ME - sites file (with one
deletion) where you'll find more information about the following
sites and/or files:
Most of these sites contains a lot of information and very
many links to other sites.

XMRV |
|
XMRV is the acronym of a recently
discovered retrovirus (HIV is another) for which
there is evidence that it is relevant to ME/CFS and to prostate
cancer.
If it were established that XMRV
is either the cause, part of the cause, or a fairly
typical passenger persons with ME fall prey to, much light could be
thrown on
ME/CFS and there are real possibilities of finding effective
medicines fast.
At the time of writing, XMRV is
new and contested, and that especially as
it relates to ME/CFS and that in particular by self-styled
specialist in CFS,
as they call it, viz. the psychiatrists of the Wessely and
Bleijenberg schools,
who have done some of their own pseudo-science to make it more
difficult
to find funding for real scientific research into XMRV and ME/CFS
and to
blacken the reputation and credit of the original work on XMRV,
that was
excellent enough to be published in Science, unlike what the
pseudo-
scientists produced, that is refused by reputable journals for real
science
but accepted by non-reputable journals without peer review.
The reason the pseudo-science by
psychiatrists about a field of real science
they lack all credit for is that psychiatrists are better trained
and have far
more time to play the media, while journalists are almost always
not capable
of judging scientific quality and mostly driven by the need to
score a good
story rather than to serve the cause of truth or of ill persons,
who rarely
find access to journalists.
Personally speaking, I decided
when I first heard of XMRV not to dive into
the subject, because I do not know much biochemistry and do not
have
the health to rapidly read into it. Also, it is not yet certain
that XMRV
does cause or contribute to ME/CFS, though it would in principle be
capable of explaining much about ME/CFS whereas it also is in
principle
a somewhat pleasant coincidence that medicines and techniques and
knowledge that have been acquired due to the study of and battle
against
AIDS may be fast available - if indeed XMRV is causal or
contributive to
ME/CFS.
I have selected a few files
concerning XMRV that may interest some,
but should warn that full understanding requires, at the very
least, a
considerable knowledge of bio-chemistry.
The best reference for those
without much relevant background and
with an interest in ME/CFS is on the Phoenix Rising site: ......
Here there is a lot of material about XMRV, geared to ME/CFS, and
generally well-written and clear (if perhaps a tad or two more
optimistic about XMRV being IT than I am, so far, bun indeed
here there is vast scope for disagreement while both being rational
(as often with personal probabilities for ill-understood
eventualities).

The term "supplements" is here not used as in
"food-supplements" (for which see Dr. Myhill's files
in this section) but additions to the above, mostly written by me
and published on my site.
In fact, there is MUCH more about ME on my site
but most is in Dutch and much of that is
concerned with telling the tale and giving the evidence for my
experiences with ME in Amsterdam,
which should or could make the outline of a fine novel or film
(as indeed also is true of the lifes
of quite a few others with decades of ME, which also teaches one
a lot about
ordinary men
and their ordinary humanity towards their fellow humans).

This is just what it says: A description of what

ME: Back to the Middle Ages with professor Simon
Wessely |
There are, no doubt, especially amongst my
"colleagues" who are "practising psychologists"
and such, some persons who consider themselves learned, rational
and reasonable, who
would like to argue that I am somewhat mistaken in assessing the
human-all-too-human
weaknesses of professor Simon Wessely, a person I hold to be (and
I just happen to be both
older and considerably more intelligent and learned than he is) a
sadist who also knows he
is a sadist, but probably will not admit it until he falls in the
hands of a guy like him, when
professor Wessely, in his human euivalent Lavrenti Beria's
gloating words about his victims
"will recite the Athenasian
Creed"
after a few doses of CBT and GET
he will then get.
Anyway... all who doubt professor
Wessely is a real sadist and also quite mad the last
incidentally in a way quite a few psyhiatrists seem to be
evidently mad, should read
the above and following piece, and in particular
7: Professor Simon Wessely's many mental issues
for which see below.
|
|
ME: Back to the Middle Ages with professor
Simon Wessely - P.S. |
This continues and extends the previous item, and
does so by a logical analysis.
Those who doubt that analysis (i) urgently need
their IQs measured, especially if
academics and (ii) should consider the following quotation from
the proposals for
the new DSM-5 to be on politically incorrect disease, as I shall
call it, which if
the
DSM-5 comes to be
instituted as the APA wants it will lead to the exclusions
of most non-millionaires from real medical science, and the
sectioning or medical
murder of very many non-millionaires who fell ill and didn't heal
within an
bureaucratically approved way.
Here is the text for the creation of a
diagnosis for Soviet and Nazi Psychiatry,
cited after the CFIDSAAs
Statement
to DSM-5 Taskforce also listed above -
and I print it in larger RED letters
to assure you may believe you eyes, and in
order to add my own comments under it in smaller letters: "
" The
CFIDS Association strongly questions the utility of the
proposed rubric of complex somatic symptom disorder (CSSD).
According to the
DSM-5 website
March 28, 2010):
To meet criteria for
CSSD, criteria A, B, and C are necessary.
A. Somatic symptoms:
Multiple somatic
symptoms that are distressing, or one severe symptom "
That is in proper English: You are ill
and being not a milionaire are dependent on health-insurors or the state or city's help.
" B.
Misattributions, excessive concern or preoccupation with
symptoms
and illness: At least two of the following are required to meet this
criterion:"
Since you are not rich, it is better that no
money is spent on you at all, and in fact society or at least state bureaucrats and health insurors would
love to see you die, the sooner the better, for that would save a LOT of money.
Next to which one finds the meanwhile standardized shit of
"criterions" without justification or based on biased so called "evidence based science" by
the very group of health professionals who hope to profit
from it.
And note please how totally arbitary "misattributions",
"excessive" and "preocupation"
are: Who is to judge this by which criterions?
Clearly, psychotherapists are going to judge this, by their own mad criterions, that serve the
health-insurors.
Unless you are very rich, in the coming Brave New
World designed by the APA you will be mad if you are ill or else a malingerer, and deserve
to be sectioned or locked up, of course, as these things go and went in the former Soviet Union,
"in your very own Personal Interests AND in The Interests Of Our Civilized Society".
" (1)
High level of health-related anxiety."
In other words, since
you are personally too poor to pay a real scientist for real
research, you must be MAD to worry about your health if you are
ill and in pain: These are dysfunctional illness beliefs that
from 2012 on are meant to allow the sectioning
of you, or your being convicted to forced labour to punish your impertince of worryintg about your
own health without being rich.
" (2)
Normal bodily symptoms are viewed as threatening and harmful
"
Clearly, the poor and malingering likes of
you when in pain, in fever or when wounded are clearly insane: Only rich men who can foot the
bills may consider pain, fever, distress or indeed being wounded as evidence that they are ill - the poor
have no right to be ill and certainly have no right to worry about being ill if they feel ill,
unless they are professors of psychiatry who can foot bills of real medical scientists.
"(3) A tendency to
assume the worst about their health (catastrophizing)."
Again, you - being poor, like 95% of persons are, in our fine
Western Democratic Civilization - have no right to make any assumptions about your own health if
you feel ill, are in pain, have a fever, or have been vomiting up everything but your stomach wall: No
money, hence no real medical help, hence mentally unfit and ready for sectioning or forced
labour camps.
And note the total arbitrariness of "tendency" and "assume":
Who is to judge and by which standards?
"(4)
Belief in the medical seriousness of their symptoms despite
evidence
to the contrary."
This is Objective Psychiatric Brave New World Science:
Your dole manager and your psychiartrist (to whom you are forced to go and whom you are forced to obey if
you want to receive dole money to eat) decide, at their personal discretion, whether evidence is to be
considered "medically serious", a task they nobly and eagerly will fulfill knowing that "we all have
sufficient strength to bear the miseries of others" since we
all don't feel them anyway (so there: they can't be real,
unless you are rich enough to pay a real medical scientist)
" (5)
Health concerns assume a central role in their lives"
So you are all day
forced to be in bed, you are in cconstant pain, doing anything
whatsoever causes enormous sweat attacks and more pain, your lymph nodes are swollen,
you clearly have rheumatical patches on your hands and fingers, your heartbeat is far too fast, and all of
the same holds for your spouse or child, and you do not know how to get money for next month or shoppings for
today....you must be not a rich man, and
therefore clearly you are a neurasthenic compulsive hysteric
a,k.a. malingerer, who needs a sharp knock over the rheumatic knuckles and some months of forced
heavy and unpaid labour to teach you the work habits post-2012 politicians, psychiatrists and
psychotherapists deem fit and appropriate for the subhuman like of you!
" C.
Chronicity:
Although any
one symptom may not be continuously
present, the state of being symptomatic is chronic and
persistent
(at least six months)."
I suspect this is thrown in to deal a.s.a.p. starting 2012
with hounding persons with ME/CFS
or with FM to their deaths (they not being rich enough to pay
for themselves and therefore of
positive disvalue and disutility for Our Great Society), but
note that here (i) the possibility
is smuggled in to wipe a psychiatrist's and bureacrat's ass
with "at least 2 of 5 symptoms"
and "the state of
being symptomatic" is smuggled in for the same purpose:
Gobblydegook
which means that you complain too much and have a big mouth,
according to your kind
dole manager and his psychotherapeutical side kick, both of
whom also know quite surely,
and will tell you if you can get them as angry and out of
control as I can, that they'd prefer
to see you dead or murdered, simply for not accepting their
human intellectual and moral
excellency and refusing to accept their pseudo-scientific
sadism.
It's so much nonsense - and very dangerous nonsense, for
many reason including
this that some may have missed: Pain is a natural signal to
avoid doing something,
if possible. One may have to try to disregard it having no
adequate means to
repress or combat it, but one should not try or be forced into
doing just what
is bad for one, nor should one be talked or diagnozed or
stigmatized into taking
such symptoms of illness that one has as less serious than
there pain or risk
merit.
The above proposed APA ruling on 'Complex Somatic Symptom
Disorder' is a
morally, medically and legal nonsensical and evil proposal, for
it contradicts
the first two duties of medical people to help people and not
to do harm.
If the APA encorporates this manner of diagnoses in its
DSM-5 American psychatrists
should be denied the status of scientists and and not permitted
to practice medicine
for the above is utter nonsense in the end mostly derived from
psychiatric monetary
interests in clients and the thesis that medical science and
medical and in particular
psychiatrical doctors are omniscient, which is tribal quackery
and witchdoctorship at best.

Studies in MEdical Sadism |
The following articles are all by me and were
written for Nederlog, which is to say
that - among otherthings - they were written fast and on the day
they were published.
I am quite serious in what I am saying -
indeed, being also 60 it means I will have to
start looking for decent means for a decent suicide, in case I
were to get too helpless
to take care of myself - and indeed it has taken quite a long
time until I was finally
convinced of what follows, since I come myself from a family that
is not gifted in the
beastly ways quite a few medical and bureacratical persons are
(that very well may
be, in view of my own experiences and extensive reading in human
history,
the
ordinary human case and ordinary norm: only the healthy
average from
Our
Group
is really properly human.
|
| |
0: Studies in MEdical Sadism
(overview + Kumar & Clark's Clinical Medicine) |
This the start of my series "Studies in MEdical
Sadism", in which I am quite serious:
I cannot account for the behaviour of the main players of the
Wessely-Reeves-
Bleijenberg school - as a psychologist and philosopher of 60,
with 32 years of
painful experiences with ME in Amsterdam - than as in part
inspired by quite
conscious sadism, though more than that is certainly also
involved, and the same
applies to many bureaucratic types I have had to meet forced by
having ME.
However, the last group is
less to blame if human-all-too-human, for they generally
only followed orders and were stupid and without any real
civilization, while the
first group are professors of psychiatry or psychology who
must know what they
are doing - hurting people who cannot defend themselves well or
at all - and who
must know that they are lying if not criminally incompetent or
both.
This piece deals with a part of Kumar & Clark's
medical handbook, and shows that
it is malevolent nonsense, after sketching in some background.
(If the rest of
"Clinical Medicine" is on a par with the part I treated, much
iatrogenic suffering
may be expected on the part of credulous medical readers of it.)
|
| |
1: "Die Mörder sind unter uns"
(the baseness of some medics and politicians) |
This connects my own family background and
personal history, as outlined in Dutch in
ME in Amsterdam, with the suffering and maltreatment of patients
with severe MEin England.
This is something most Dutchmen pretend not to
understand, and something that
most Englishmen and Americans probably only very partially get,
not having parents
or grandparents who lived 5 years in a Nazi-occupied country
where a considerable
part of the population collaborated with the Nazis.
Even so, it is of importance to understand my
own orientation and - Americanism -
'where I am coming from'.
|
| |
2:
"101 Good Reasons"
(clarification CBT+GET & 101 reasons by G. Crowhurst) |
This consists mostly of a text with 101 good
reasons why ME/CFS is a physical not a mental disease,
compiled by Greg Crowhurst, whose wife has severe ME, and whose
impressive site is here:
Stone Bird.
The text starts with an English + Dutch
introduction in which I clearly explain what CBT and GET
really are, in practice: Degenerate and inhuman ways of
disciplining people, by forced brainwashing
and forced labour.
|
| |
3: "The evidence & the techniques"
(current techniques of MEdical sadism) |
This continues, summarizes and extends the
foregoing.
|
| |
4: Intermezzo - Lucian
(a very disrespectful most intelligent satirist) |
Two theses
- There is
such a thing is
medical
sadism in
general, that
is, medical
doctors who are
in business because they
like to exercise
power and like
to earn money
with
pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others or from causing others
pain or
misery.
- There is
such a thing is
medical
sadism in the
medical/psychiatric
treatment of ME
in particular,
namely in the
psychosomatic
schools of
Wessely, Reeves
and Van der Meer
(and others).
and some nice quotations from
Lucian, a classical satirist.
|
| |
5: The amazing & great Kim & Dr. Yes
(alas still not well-reformatted yet) |
This is - as it says after the link - what remains
after the original, that was considerably longer,
disappeared. The brief of it is that Dr. Yes has severe ME and is
in an asylum in New York where
he is maltreated (see also 9 below) and that Kim, a patient with
ME, tried to help him at
considerable risk to her own health.
Eventually, this attempt came to nought for
various reasons, and Dr. Yes is still in his asylum and
was recently again maltreated
(see 9 below) - and let the reader
please note that my own
conviction that much of the treatment I received with ME (while
being civilised, polite, very well
spoken, of strong scientific inclinations, very learned) can only
be rationally explained by the
hypothesis that those who dole out these treatments to me,
usually in the evident firm conviction
that whatever happens I cannot hurt them, while they can hurt me
all they please, are to a
sickeningly large extent moved by personal malice, sadism and
ressentiment, dates back to
(i) 2002 when the Ombudsman of Amsterdam tried to drive me to
suicide and prevented my
getting the Ph.D. so as to protect her Labour comrade and
personal friend the Amsterdam mayor
who rather protects harddrugs dealers than me and (ii) to April
and October of 2009 when
I learned the real facts about the psychiatrists Wessely and
Bastiaans (the links are to Dutch
articles of those times).
|
| |
6: Herr Professor & Frau Doctor Wessely
(The Real Truth metavisually) |
These are some excellent visual arguments that I
owe to some members of the Phoenix
Forums (Roy S and Dreambirdie). While not adding much
intellectually, they provide
a fitting sauce and background, and indeed the picture of
professor Wessely seeking
inspiration is worth its price in gold.
|
| |
7: Professor Simon Wessely's many mental issues
(just so: a real sicko) |
I had concluded in October 2009, when finally
seriously reading some of the rot of Wessely,
White and Bleijenberg, that I could only explain the
opinions, values and motives of these
gentlemen rationally and properly (that is, without decently
looking the other way when
someone does something undecent) by the hypothesis that only an
insane person or a
clever conscious sadist writes as they write and counsels as they
counsel writes thus.
And here I should add that I had read
Bleijenberg's doctoral thesis when it first was
published, and was so sickened by the stupidity, idiocy and
immorality of that, not to
speak of its awful style and extra-ordinarily stupid reasoning,
and had concluded I wanted
to read no more of the standard medical literature about ME, and
indeed since then spend
almost 2 decades mostly concerned with other things than ME,
although I had it all the
time and it severely curtailed my possibilities and my energy,
while giving me pain almost
constantly.
The reader who thinks this a little odd should
realize that I am a psychologists and have
known many would be and real psychologists, incuding many
professors of it. The brief
summary is that I know only two sets of bigger fools, from
personal knowledge: the
academically employed philosophers I have met and the politically
radicalized student
revolutionaries (most of whom were in fact apparatchiks of the
Dutch communist
party in the University of Amsterdam out for a career and a
professorship in a pseudo-science for life).
And unless the reader has studied psychology
with my quality of mind, in a Dutch
university during the years I "studied" there, it is probably
quite impossible to feel or
understand my disgust of and contempt for the common run of
psychologists and
psychotherapeutical types (though the reader should realize not
all psychologists
are psychotherapists: only the more stupid more crazy are, on
average).
To turn back to professor Wessely and his
neuroses, psychoses, insanities and
further human-all-too-human qualities: While I had in October
2009 concluded
only a malicious madman would and could write as he did and does
about persons
with ME, I had not at all realized the true sadistic awfulness of
the man, that
the reader finds illustrated im the present file.
This also shows some of the members of Phoenix
Rising while the going there still
was good.
In any case: Rarely or never was an empirical
hypothesis about the motives of
a person quicker or better confirmed!
|
| |
7a: P.S.: Professor Simon Wessely's many mental issues
(the logic of it) |
This continues the last item by sketching out the
logical proof that
according to professor Simon
Wessely himself:
I am mad IFF professor Simon Wessely is not mad
whence it logically follows that
If I am not mad, then professor Simon Wessely is mad.
And please note: I did not put forward professor Simon
Wessely's KCL-teachings(**) that
people think themselves sick.
And moreover it logically follows from professor
Simon Wessely's KCL-teachings(**) that
X with ME/CFS is mad IFF professor Simon Wessely is
not mad
whence it logically follows that
If ANY X with ME/CFS is not mad, then professor Simon
Wessely is mad.
Board and Directors of King College, London!
Why do you keep this man as a professor of psychiatry at
KCL?
Do you really believe any decent mathematician, logician,
philosopher or doctor in real bio-medical medicine accepts the above simple
logically valid inferences of your professor of psychiatry etc. Simon
Wessely B.Sc. etc.?
Maarten Maartensz
M.Sc. Psy
B.A. Phi
|
The reader should realize that this really is
so, not because I think so, but because professor Simon
Wessely, still employed at King's College, London, as if mad
psychiatrists deserve protection and podium
at that college, teaches and publishes material from which the
above logically follows.
|
| |
8 : Professor Wessely's crap completely clarified
(visually)
(DrSpeedy+profSW) |
This is another visual argument, provided by
DrSpeedy, and English GP with ME (whose existence also
proves that if he is not mad - and is not - then professor
Wessely is mad, for saying DrSpeedy must
be both mad and medically incompetent for thinking he is really
ill instead of merely suffering from
dysfunctional beliefs. (A Sovietese or Maoistic term, it would
seem to me, as is 'politically correct' and
the many hypocritical euphemisms PC people love to indulge in
like 'respect' 'solidarity' and
|'appropriate' where the naive reader should realize that it is
ever and always the Politically Correct
willing apparatchik who decides what is 'appropriate',
'respectfully' of course.)
|
| |
9: Studies in MEdical Sadism - 9
: Dr. Yes maltreated |
I spoke of the plight of Dr. Yes
above in nr 5 of these Studies in MEdical Sadism. This
is another example. And indeed - in case you might say Dr. Yes is
just one anonymous
source - I believe him because I have met quite similar medical
doctors, but with this
difference that I did not depend on them as a patient in their
asylum.
|
| |
Dutch |
| |
|
| |
ME-disch
sadisme op wereldschaal:
Zeer
verbitterend nieuws |
In fact, this was one of the first things I wrote
after having come to the conclusion that
I could not explain nominally medical men like Wessely and White
without the need of the
hypothesis that, like their colleague dr.Mengele, that they were
or are medical sadists
and are in it, doing what they are doing (for Wessely and White,
like Mengele and Reeves,
might have been medical doctors and done otherwise: there was
noone forcing them),
and indeed, as Hillary Johnson wrote in The Why that:
CDC science [and KCL-science and Radboud-science -
MM] is not
legitimate science.
It is the science of defamation, of marginalization, of
disenfranchisement. It’s Nazi science (..)
And you may not like that term, but I note that
my father survived almost four years
as a political prisoner in German concentrationcamps, weighing at
one point 37 kiloos
instead of his normal 85, but that he was far more healthy than I
am with ME (I
could not work and raise a family: he could), and that I have literally been gassed in
Amsterdam by Dutch drugsmafiosi protected by an Amsterdam mayor
who knew my
parents superficially and who spoke (and speaks) if he could 24
hours every day on
how inspired he feels by The Ideals Of The
February
Strike of 1941, for reason of
which my father and grandfather were arrested in June of 1941,
betrayed by
collaborating Dutchmen, arrested by collaborated Amsterdam police
agents and handed
over to the SS, and that my grandfather did not survive the
horrors of concentation-camp).
O yes:
And I am forbidden to say this on the Phoenix Forums by a Dutch
member,
an English administrator and the American owner, from which I
have concluded that
the latter two want to get rid of me by any means, including what
I can only see
as anti-semitic remarks. (I suspect the gentlemen will act as if
offended. Well:
I have been called 'a fascist' many times because I opposed
post-modernism,
but this is the first time I am forbidden to write the truth
about Holland on an
American forum by persons who effectively no zilch about Holland
or my
background: Nazi-methods, I say with Hillary, the less excusable
because it
is based on ignorance and malevolence of persons who should know
better and
who should behave honorably and honestly. And if you do or allow
as the last
link illustrates, it is because you have an agenda you do not
honorable and
honestly acnowledge.)
|
| |
ME: Waarom dokter Mengele medicijnen
studeerde - 1 |
This outlines why doctor Mengele studied medicine,
after outlining some of my personal
background and that of the drugscorrupt Amsterdam mayors who
refused to protect and
receive me, even after I had been gassed by the drugsdealers thay
personally
protected (with a legal paper allowing them to deal drugs signed
personally by them) -
after which they did not do anything for three years, evidently
hoping I would die or
suicide in that period.
The brief answer to the question is: Sadists
are attracted to medicine, just as medicine
makes it possible to behave sadistically in a far wider and
stronger manner than almost
any other job. This does not mean that most medical doctors are
sadists, which I also
don't think, but it does explain doctor Mengele's and some other
doctors' motives quite
plausibly.
|
| |
ME:
Waarom dokter Mengele medicijnen studeerde - 2 |
More of the foregoing, mostly geared to my own
position with ME in
Amsterdam.
(Most of this is only comprehensible if you know the
Amsterdam and Dutch situations
quite well, which are pretty... insane, e.g. in respect of drugs,
where every years
between 25 and 75 billion (10^9) euros in illegal drugs are
turned over, all semi-
legally, that is: it is both forbidden and allowed, and hence
neither taxed, nor
controlled, nor quality-tested, but
extremely profitable since four decades.)

ME: Uitstekende studie over ME en CGT en
GET |
This gives the link to
a recent good study about the dangers of CBT and GET for
persons with ME and some more personal comments, including my
assurance (some
may not like this) that personally I will not be slaughtered
peaceably on the
bureaucratic insane medical altar of CGT and GET: I rather die
than submit to
forced labour: I shall not be terrorized, the more so now I know
that the Dutch
in great number stand by and watch smilingly if they see someone
terrorized.
This quite possibly is again
human-all-too-human, but then I am not.
