Trial By Error: Correctives from Putrino & Iwasaki (and Others) to the Long-Covid-Is-Psychosomatic Claims

Trial By Error: A Response to Call for “ A New Paradigm ” for Long Covid in Lancet Respiratory Medicine
By David Tuller, DrPH Last month, The Lancet Respiratory Medicine published a comment called “A new paradigm is needed to explain long COVID.” Not surprisingly, this “new paradigm” is the same old paradigm that has been applied to ME and CFS patients for decades. That paradigm, of course, has been debunked and discredited–even though many […] (Source: virology blog)

Trial By Error: Double Talk on Mind-Body “ Dualism ” ?
By David Tuller, DrPH Proponents of the psychosomatic approach to ME and long Covid–as well as the broader range of so-called “functional” disorders and/or “medically unexplained symptoms”–routinely declare that those who disagree with them are engaging in what they dismissively refer to as mind-body “dualism.” The mind and body are not separate entities, they note, […] (Source: virology blog)
