===PACE trial data release=== [[Virology blog]] by [[Vincent Racaniello]] has covered the PACE trial extensively. [[David Tuller]] has written most of these articles. A list of links can be found on Virology Blog [http://www.virology.ws/mecfs/ here]. The article that has a link to the RAW DATA at Reference 10. '''No ‘Recovery’ in PACE Trial, New Analysis Finds''' ''Virology blog'' By: Vincent Racaniello "Last October, Virology Blog posted David Tuller’s 14,000-word investigation of the many flaws of the PACE trial (link to article), which had reported that cognitive behavior therapy and graded exercise therapy could lead to “improvement” and “recovery” from ME/CFS. The first results, on “improvement,” were published in The Lancet in 2011; a follow-up study, on “recovery,” was published in the journal Psychological Medicine in 2013. The investigation by Dr. Tuller, a lecturer in public health and journalism at UC Berkeley, built on the impressive analyses already done by ME/CFS patients; his work helped demolish the credibility of the PACE trial as a piece of scientific research. In February, Virology Blog posted an open letter (link) to The Lancet and its editor, Richard Horton, stating that the trial’s flaws “have no place in published research.” Surprisingly, the PACE authors, The Lancet, and others in the U.K. medical and academic establishment have continued their vigorous defense of the study, despite its glaring methodological and ethical deficiencies."<ref>[http://www.virology.ws/2016/09/21/no-recovery-in-pace-trial-new-analysis-finds/ No ‘Recovery’ in PACE Trial, New Analysis Finds]</ref> '''Bad science has misled millions with chronic fatigue, court order reveals'''<ref>{{citation |last = Crew|first = Bec | date = 23 September 2016 | title = Bad science has misled millions with chronic fatigue, court order reveals|url= http://www.sciencealert.com/bad-science-has-misled-millions-with-chronic-fatigue-court-order-reveals|newspaper= ScienceAlert|location= Canberra|access-date= }}</ref> ''ScienceAlert'' By: Bec Crew. (23 Sep 2016) "Up to 1 million Americans and 2.6 percent of the global population are estimated to have chronic fatigue syndrome, and for decades, the illness has been trivialised due to a lack of scientific evidence supporting its diagnosis. But for those living with the disorder, the effects can be profound, and now an investigation into the two most commonly prescribed treatments - psychotherapy and exercise (seriously) - has found that they’re being recommended based on some seriously shoddy science." '''Independent investigation reveals NICE approved treatment only a fraction as effective as experts claim it is.'''<ref>{{citation |last = Burne | first = Jerome | date = 26 September 2016 | title = Independent investigation reveals NICE approved treatment only a fraction as effective as experts claim it is.|url= http://healthinsightuk.org/2016/09/26/independent-investigation-reveals-nice-approved-treatment-only-a-fraction-as-effective-as-experts-claim-it-is/|newspaper= HealthInsightUK|location= London|access-date= }}</ref> ''HealthInsightUK'' By: Jerome Burne. (29 Sep 2016) "Would any doctor continue to prescribe a drug which they had been told would benefit 20 percent of patients with a specific illness, once the truth was revealed to be around 7 percent, only one percent better than no treatment at all? You’d have to hope not and that concerned and angry doctors would then shout loudly that they had been lied to and that patients had endured years of pointless treatment."
