Last week the Severe ME Advocacy Group heard from Line in Denmark that the psychiatrists had dismissed our letter as being from "uncredible sources".
Line added "They are using it against me, furthering their belief that I am delusional". It might be suggested that, having been provided with an array of links to scientific evidence of the biological basis of ME by a senior UK doctor backed by more than 4000 other people from all over the world, Line is not the person to whom "delusional" should be applied.
In an attempt to provide "credible sources" we appealed to internationally renowned ME organisations and the following are happy to go on record as supporting the letter:
Jaime Seltzer #MEAction (USA) Scientific Director and TIME100Health2024
Isabel Ramirez-Burnett Renegade Research (USA) Remission Biome Director
Giarda da Ros CFS/ME Italian Association
Joan Serra Hoffman Aliança Millions Missing Portugal
María Richardson Millions Missing Mexico
Hélène Bennès Millions Missing France
Bettie Hough and Mlindeni Gabela MELCuSA (ME and Long Covid Unite South Africa)
Once again, we appeal to the medical authorities at Arbejde Adlers Hus to read and respect the safe treatment guidelines for Very Severe ME patients.
Line has been left with no choice but to consult a lawyer to defend her human rights. If you are able to contribute, please help her pay the legal fees to assist her to fight psychiatric incarceration.
With many thanks for your ongoing support,
Sam Pearce
