Professor Wessely and horses and zebras ...


BY Michael Maes and Frank Twisk:
"We are pleased that BMC has published our critique on the (bio)psychosocial model for ME/CFS put forward by Harvey and Wessely in an article in BMC last year.

Chronic fatigue syndrome:
identifying zebras amongst the horses.
Harvey SB, Wessely S. BMC Medicine 2009, 7:58. doi:10.1186/1741-7015-7-58.
http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7015/7/58).

In our commentary
Chronic fatigue syndrome:
Harvey and Wessely's (bio)psychosocial model versus a bio(psychosocial) model based on inflammatory and oxidative and nitrosative stress pathways.
Michael Maes N, Twisk FNM.
BMC Medicine 2010, 8:35. doi:10.1186/1741-7015-8-35. http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7015/8/35 )

we substantiate why the Harvey and Wessely model for ME/CFS ('unexplained fatigue') (http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7015/7/58/figure/F1) is incoherent and invalid, and why the label biopsychosocial model is inappropriate."

"A press release from the Netherlands indicates that the FDA and NIH have independently confirmed the association of XMRV with chronic fatigue syndrome as published last fall in Science. Apparently two journalists for the Dutch magazine ORTHO obtained a copy of a lecture by Dr. Harvey Alter in Zagreb which confirms these findings. ..."
