Thank you so much for signing this petition. I have submitted it to the chair of the NICE ME/CFS review committee with this letter:

Don't let vested interests derail the review of NICE guidelines on ME/CFS!

"Sufferers from ME/CFS have been concerned to hear of the removal of Dr Shepherd and the resignation of three members of the ME/CFS review committee, reported to be pro the retention of GET and CBT as treatments. The coincidence of the publication of an egregious article in the BMJ, suggesting the committee is dominated by rabid anti-science patient activists suggests to us that there is a concerted effort underway to discredit the work of the committee.

The publication of the draft guidelines brought hope that patients may longer be gaslighted and subjected to treatments that are useless or dangerous. Please do not be deflected! We urge you to continue with these vital reforms."
