Medical fraud should be a prosecutable criminal offense. Why are these researchers not in jail? "After 12 months of treatment (aka 'long-term'), patients treated with drugs (aka anti-depressants) fare worse than those given a placebo (7% remission)." (And in this now discredited trial the real results - not the ones that were faked by the researchers - showed no short-term difference between anti-depressants and placebos). When I starting getting sick again with #MECFS post a viral infection in 2013 - the only 'treatment' I was offered for FREE other than Pharma from my province was Hypnosis (yes, seriously. The province of Nova Scotia did not cover any actual medical treatment (other than psych meds) but it did cover Hypnosis). The only meds I was offered were psychotropics (anti-depressants, anti-convulsants, sedatives) and gabapentinoids. This was despite pain being my main issue (other than fatigue). It took years to be approved for pain treatment (tramadol). The insurance company actually required I continue taking these meds for the first 2 years of being sick because of incorrect psychological diagnosis. It wasnt until my policy switched at two years that I was able to refuse this medication and still get coverage. I often wonder if years of psychiatric polypharmacy prescriptions contributed to my decline - what was mild #MECFS worsened to Severe #MECFS by 2016. Those who fake clinical trial data are amongst the very lowest form of humanity.
