===[[Ellen Goudsmit|Dr Ellen Goudsmit]]=== Dr Goudsmit is a retired health psychologist who has published a number of criticisms of the PACE trial. <blockquote>"The PACE trial was scientifically extremely poor"<ref name="GoudsmitE20141213">{{citation | last1 = Goudsmit | first1 = Ellen | authorlink1 = Ellen Goudsmit | title = Response to article in the magazine published by the UK charity MCS-Aware | date = Dec 13, 2014 | url = http://forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?threads/response-to-article-re-pace.41779/ }}</ref></blockquote> <blockquote>"A treatment like GET is simply not appropriate for a disease like ME which is linked to infection and metabolic abnormalities.
