GPs suck

Holy shit! He’s made a video on my comment.

ME/CFS is one thing Chris Williamson wants to tackle when he's on the other side of it.

[DanielK @daniel38608]

Can anyone inject this guy with severe me/cfs

[Dr. Roger McFillin @DrMcFillin]

The idea that people are being prescribed prescription drugs in response to grief is offensive to me.
First... there is no such thing as an antidepressant or anti-grief. It's a marketing scam.
Most importantly... You need to feel that pain.
To experience loss is human.

Why is it only complex chronic illnesses where we get editorials in serious journals recommending mind-over-matter cures because “some people said” it works? Some people also say they cured cancer with crystals, where is the Wired article on that?

[DanielK @daniel38608]

@TaylorLorenz @WIRED I came here for the comments, and it does not disappoint!!!

[Megan Stevenson @MeganTStevenson]

Just wrote this letter to the editor at Wired about that dumb article. Seriously, who made the call to publish an article on long covid written by a religion professor with no relevant expertise or qualifications??

[Salvatore Mattera @SalvMattera]

Levinovitz thinks I'm being unreasonable for suggesting that he's a shill, but then he insinuates some sort of grand conspiracy to suppress this stuff that simply doesn't exist. There has been so much positive coverage that's pro mind-body. His piece is far from the first, and I doubt it will be the last (sadly) because contrary to what he says, the mind-body narrative is the exact narrative people want to believe.

Believing that COVID destroys your organs (it does) and that there's no reliable way to heal from this damage (there isn't) is scary! It's much more pleasant to think people are just stuck in weird brain feedback loops they can get out of with positive thinking. If this guy understands religion, he should be able to see this for what it is (a religious belief). Below, I'll link some pro-mind body articles from various publications across the globe I've collected over the years:

🧵OF KEY CONCERNS

We've now read Alan Levinovitz's WIRED piece on Long Covid.

Our concern isn't that it discusses psychological theories.

Our concern is that it repeatedly conflates criticism of evidence with creating a "climate of fear".

Those are not the same thing. /1

@tink_ina You are doing great work lately! Keep it up ❤️

[DanielK @daniel38608]

@tink_ina I wouldn’t call them trolls, they are extremely intelligent people; but instead of using their talents on helping! They just publicly attack each other. 😭

[DanielK @daniel38608]

I live in Perth, Australia. With a population close to 3m from memory. There is not doctor in this city that knows me/cfs to the extend I do. Yet I have access to 10,000 mind body coaches.

[DanielK @daniel38608]

@erfmufn Well it’s not really free. I just sold 2 investment properties and have to pay $300k in tax.

Speedy recovery

@sue_xbt Put it on spurs to win the nba finals

[DanielK @daniel38608]

@dario_MEfighter @Retired_Twink @loscharlos @elonmusk Exactly.

[DanielK @daniel38608]

@davidpattersonx I hope they find a cure for ME.

Life is brutal. I want my old life back.

[DanielK @daniel38608]

@dario_MEfighter @Retired_Twink @loscharlos @elonmusk Would be easy enough to crowd fund that amount

@sharpsuck @TheSharpPlays @brooks_truck @BurnerMy57037 @CapperLedger Where is the spreadsheet???

ME/CFS is one thing Chris Williamson wants to tackle when he's on the other side of it.

[DanielK @daniel38608]

@seanstidston I don’t have any access in Australia to any doctors with any knowledge so therefore I take nothing. All I have tried is low-dose naltrexone and it made me worse probably because the doctor didn’t know how to dosage it properly.

[DanielK @daniel38608]

@melissajwx_ I’ve been talking about this for ages now.
