==Reviews== In the 2 Aug 2016 blog entry of [[Utting-Wolff Spouts]], the bloggers expounded on the unscientific premises of the Schaffner's theory: "Her poor scientific understanding, particularly apparent in her chapter on ME, is revealed in statements including ‘the ozone layer is shrinking at an alarming rate’ (actually it’s recovering). Her inability to differentiate between carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide is revealing ‘carbon monoxide emissions are still high’, no doubt they are but she means carbon dioxide (CO2‘s a direct greenhouse gas, CO is not2). Call me pedantic but an inability to understand basic science casts doubt on her ability to engage in discussion of a disease as complex as ME...Schaffner is not original, she follows a long, undistinguished line of cod philosophers who think they can explain away chronic illness in a non-scientific fashion, and why not? Real science is hard; molecular biology is hard, signalling pathways are complex as is the immune system. Why waste time and energy studying this when you can claim it is all imagined, after all, you have a good chance of gaining a knighthood without any of the hard work."<ref>Gillberg, C. and Jones, G. (2 Aug 2016). The Age of Ignorance [Utting-Wolff Spouts]. Retrieved from https://uttingwolffspouts.com/2016/08/02/the-age-of-ignorance/</ref>
