CORPORATE COLLUSION?
The UK Medical Research Council has a secret file on Myalgic
Encephalomyelitis (ME) that contains records and correspondence since at
least 1988; the file is held in the UK Government Archive at Kew and cannot
be opened until 2023. This present document is an overview of the
misinformation and contradictions about Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) that have pervaded some UK Departments of State
and other agencies since 1988. It also considers the involvement of certain
UK psychiatrists who have proven vested interests in the propagation of this
misinformation that is contrary to world-wide scientific evidence and that
for two decades has resulted in the medical abuse of UK patients with
ME/CFS.

================================================
Note:
This important document from Professor Hooper has been compiled for use in a
Judicial Review (which has no connection with any other Judicial Review) and
has been written to assist lawyers who may not be familiar with the facts
that are so well-known to the ME/CFS community (who may recognise parts of
it from previous documents).
It contains previously undisclosed and astonishing information about the MRC
PACE trials (pages 64 -70) and evidence of what Simon Wessely really thinks
about those with severe ME/CFS i.e. that they are "outrageous, crazy,
engaged in fantasies, lies and distortions" (page 96-99).
It also submits evidence showing that in relation to ME/CFS, the claim about
"evidence-based medicine" is meaningless.
