I'm surprised there is no mention of Environmental Illness or Chemical Sensitivities as Dr. William Rea called it, in three text books he wrote on the subject. He spent many years advocating for, and treating thousands of patients at his clinic in Dallas, TX. His view which is not that different, is that it all starts with underlying exposures to chemicals, but is often in combination with other exposures like viruses, mold, etc. Unfortunately as people use different names and the medical community continues to mostly deny peoples experiences, little has changed.

I have zero energy,,,this is not living at all

Man psychiatrist really caused more harm than they help

Also known as prediabetes and malnutrition

Thank you so much for this video! May God help us all endure the suffering as well as being stigmatized and marginalized from the society and may He help repent to all the monstrous minds who play with genetics and develop biological weapons. It is interesting that dr Wessely works for the British Army. We are just casualties in some lab games that need a bigger cohort for testing their fantastic new toys. It is hard to believe, but sadly it is true.

If there's anything good about the horrible time Dianna Cowern (Physics Girl) has had since she got ME/CFS, is that her, and her husband documenting her illness, and her being such a well liked KZbinr, has brought a lot of awareness to the condition. I knew next to nothing about it before she got ill. Really hoping that awareness, especially among doctors, will improve, and fast, and this condition will get a proper boost in funding for real research. Thank you for this video, it was very informative, and on an important topic!

All my blood tests have been perfect, so am often viewed with suspicion, yet I hold no malice... certain that unless I had suffered with the condition would have held similar views. However, following a _'Mitochondria Function Blood Test'_ paid for by a friend, all the pieces fell into place. However, although my doctor has been very supportive I am saddened by the way much of the medical profession dismiss, or appear 'tone deaf' when they hear that my Mitochondria function, tells that my cells are only producing 9% of the energy they should.

I'm diagnosed with fibromyalgia but after reading about this I'm really thinking it's this. I sleep like 10 to 12 hours every day and never feel rested and I've been like this my whole life. That's not the reason I'm posting this though. I noticed that at least three people at the top of the comments said that they had been sick since 1977 or 78 and so I started looking into what might have happened then and the main thing that standing out to me right now is the regulation of quote unquote clean water. Which really stands up along with all the other research that I've been doing on things along these lines. There's anyone who reads this who has not always drink public water, please let me know.

i think bullshit19 takes that prize...

Exceptional documentary! Thank you for sharing this history.

Depuis le covid je suis fatiquée au debut je pensait du au tress du au confinemen jai 2 fois le covid je travaille 4 demi journée au lieu 5 je pr end des vitamine je veux retrouve la forme quand jetais ados

Jai refais un crasch tout laprès -midi ça fais longtemps que jai pas fait mon cas est leger

I had ME fir most of my life for reasons they of course blamed on me. As a child i was beaten for "going to such lengths to get attention". 36 years later i was diagnosed with Lyme Disease and several coinfections. Ive been in treatment the last 8 years and am SO EXCITED and overjoyed to report that i can now work out REALLY HARD for like 2 hours and have zero malaise. It feels miraculous. Anyone who is expecting this, I highly recommend researching lyme disease from a reputable source such as Lyme Project.

I’ve been living with this illness for over 20 years now . If the CDC hadn’t changed the definition of this illness back in 2015, I think I would still be fighting my doctor over graded exercise, and for my social security disability benefits. I’ve taken a shotgun approach to my treatment. Using pacing, the nicotine protocol , and using the breather . I have managed to make some progress in my recovery over the last few years. I can hardly wait for treatment or cure for this illness. And I dream of being normal someday!

😢

developed these issues after starting Vyvanse.

I have used Epstein Barr Virus Homeopathic Nosode to detoxify

Excellent job on this video. Please do one focused on the US too?

Thank you for doing this extensive research and making it available in such a spot on way!

The medical world thought Parkinson's patients were faking and called it the fakey shakies in the 1900s. Excellent video. My daughter and myself have been living with ME for 25 years now. Whenever we find anything that substantiates and validates the reality of ME we always feel like ; see, we're not lying about this. It helps. Thank you Broken Battery!

What's happened to Wessely? Has he ever apologised or been taken to account?

Similar to some fnd patients treatment or lack there of

Yes, the Epstein-Barr virus has effected me tremendously and stress related! I have a sub class three immune deficiency!! It’s ongoing! My life has changed! I had a wonderful life in my 20’s working three jobs, making money, saving! Then I got a cold keep calling in sick a lot, lost one of my jobs because of my illness! I didn’t know what was wrong, until at 28 years old I was dis with Epstein-Barr virus and went back to work in 8 months I relapse, had to give up my career if dietary management and night school I was I year out of trying to get a degree a dietary technician where I can have a career in a hospital setting! 2 more years I would have been a licensed Registered Dietitian! A major career I went on social security at the age of 28, at the high light of my life 😢

Excellent summary. It is extremely frustrating how the disease has been ignored by medical doctors and scientists for so long. For ME patients, COVID was in a way a good thing since the large influx of long COVID patients made the disease impossible to ignore and restarted some research. Not much though compared to other conditions of similar prevalence and severity.

"Exercise cannot hurt you." is BS. I code if I get too much exercise because of anaphylatoid reaction.

This Wesley dude hates women. Why has he not be sanctioned?

and still nothing has changed ,, about 90% of doktors have never heard of ME, hospitals still torture patients , and claim they are not helping themselves,,, and still childprotection is called by dokters and hospitals upon parrents , claiming they are mistreating the kids , not recognising ME as an illness !!!!!!!!

5:23 fear of activity? What a joke

So urned enough money or not. Just jealous? Now make clear, it s now mostly one of the effects of NT virus injection

Millions of pounds have been wasted. What about the time that has been wasted!?

HOW TO GET VALTREX (anti virals for Epstine Barr: If you need anti virals go online and look for these new companies that do treatment for STIs like herpes or prescribe Prep. Say you get frequent cold sores. I’ve done this and the MD I worked with even said he felt it was good for ebv when I asked. Just be sure you communicate any other issues you have honestly because it can impact your liver and other stuff. If you don’t have access to this go to whatever local clinic you have that works with sexual health like Planned Parenthood etc. EBV is a herpes virus which is why valtrex treats both cold sores, genital herpes, and ebv.

As a therapist, if doctors would QUIT SENDING ME PHYSICALLY ILL WOMEN TO “TREAT.” I’m getting close to putting together legal resources for these women (and men) upon intake. Yeah mindfulness and support can help with chronic pain and illness but actually medical treatment would be great.

I am between severe and very severe symptoms currently. I'm in bed 95% of the day and can only stand up for about 25 minutes a day. I have severe cognitive dysfunction, I cannot will myself to focus on anything for more than 5 to 10 minutes. It truly is misery to live like this.

Thank you for this documentary. The same setbacks in healthcare are encountered daily by Lyme and coinfections patients. We can learn a lot from this history.

This all sounds very familiar, with todays medical interventions 😢

Anyone has an idea, if my symptoms are caused by ME/CFS? I work as a programmer, so I work at the computer a lot. I do sports once a week and go on walks regularly. I have regular sight issues (flickering colors for 40mins every other week) which was classified as migraine aura since 10 years. Now, what is bothering me is feeling having low energy during the day or having issues with breathing (feels like not getting enough oxygen or the moment before your fainting or not drinking enough, but it is continuous) since 5 years. The intensity varies between days, sometimes are present throughout the day, sometimes hours, sometimes not. Symptoms may increase by stress, but must not. Physical activity doesn't necessarily make me tired more than usual.

Great summary of the history of diagnosis and failed treatments- but what does work?

I believe it's MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrom) and inflammatory responses to endocrine disruption from things like plastics, and fossil fuels, and such. We are poisoned for capital, and wonder why we are collectively ill. It's just our bodies being stressed out, by being literally poisoned by capitalism.

Have a happy new year Broken Battery

I have a theory. The cause of ME/CFS could be trauma. Psychological trauma of any kind. Because, one of the symptoms of anxiety or depression is typically low motivation and tiredness. Could it be that this disease is the body's defense mechanism against trauma

I've been diagnosed with ME since 2012, my symptoms were so vague my doctors used to think i was just a hypochondriac, until one day i got to see an on call doctor that had experience with patients with ME in the past, he seen it straight away, i got sent for many tests to rule out other diseases and then finally diagnosed. Unfortunately i was sent to a 12 week group therapy all about energy management and exercise ran by the NHS, needless to say, it was less than useless. 13 years later i work 20 hours a week, i usually have around 6-8 weeks off work a year due to relapse, my employer is very understanding and allow me to take longer breaks if needed, obviously i make the time back up, they are just lenient, a bit more like flexitime. I can 💯 say exercise is not a cure for ME, it might help with Fibromyalgia, but it aint helping anyone with ME, it's just a ridiculous notion, you can tell not one of these "scientists" have ME, otherwise they wouldn't spout this rubbish. I mean it's not just tiredness and limb pain, do they think my stomach and bowel issues are somehow fixable by a phycologist, or what about my horrendous memory, or what about the random flare ups where my body feels like it's on fire to the point I'm in tears, random pins and needles, random hot and cold body temperatures despite your surrounding environment, these so called scientists are a disgrace to their profession.

As an ME/CFS sufferer, thank you for putting this video out there. Thank you for the validation. That said, I wish my very own illness upon those horrid excuses for human beings that doubled down on graded exercise therapy. Just because the UK has seen the light, doesn't mean they've caught on elsewhere. I checked just now, and on the website of the University Hospital where I was initially diagnosed with ME/CFS. They still recommend GET. The whole CBT part connected to it feels like gaslighting to me, and has left a bad taste in my mouth for CBT in general, which might actually be a bad thing. Throughout a whole series of happy accidents I never was assigned GET at that hospital that diagnosed me in '07. Good God, fuck those guys with a cactus.

Medical misogyny kills. Thank you for making this video.

There is also a very serious problem misdiagnosing ADHESIVE ARACHNOIDITIS as fibromyalgia and CFS. ESI's are today's #1 causation along side Failed Back Surgeries. The medical LIES must be exposed if there is going to be any chance of having any healthy future generations. I'd be willing to go as far as believing that this is indeed a planned obsolescence of human health via genetics.

For anyone who's interested. Many people have reported recovering from CFS/ME and Long Covid by mainly implementing brain retraining. Wait! Don't freak out. It doesn't mean it's all in our heads. The theory is that our bodies are stuck in fight or flight and can never truly rest. Check out the channel Raelan Agle and look up brain retraining if you'd like to find out more.

Thank you so so much for making this video. Every healthcare professional (and most the general populace) need to see this!

Very interesting video, thank you

PAIN after exercise is the hall mark of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It should be Renamed MAST CELL ACTIVATION SYNDROME ie MCAS. If you are a CF sufferer, like me, ask your GP for treatment for MCAS. Ask for a referral to IMMUNOLOGY and ask the immunologist for a referral to a DIATICIAN for MCAS diet advice (it's unlikely your GP can make a dietician referral, but consultants can). We don't know the cause (probably vaccine injury, but they'll never do a trial to do that - did your symptoms start after a vaccine?!) but MCAS treatment is a SOLUTION. And solutions is what we need. And if you want PREVENTION, then don't get vaccinated.

Psychiatry, in my opinion, has only destroyed so many, many, lives due to severe chemical toxicity.

It can also be of iotrigenic causation, medical procedures using toxic chemicals that enter the Central Nervous System (CNS), along with blood.
