Ever wanted a cutting-edge film of a leading medical scientist fully au fait with the dirty business of M.E. politics and the somatisation lobby? A film in which a noted Professor of Medical Chemistry systematically tears apart the Wessely-School falsehoods, presents undeniable evidence of organic biomedical disease in M.E. and unequivocally fights for justice for sufferers of ICD-10-G93.3? A film which is not only stacked with scientific erudition and highly useful references but which captures a charming man of integrity & stature and which is highly watchable?
Yes?! Well it is now here in the form of an interactive DVD (DVD-R format) with PROFESSOR MALCOLM HOOPER available at cost price from the M.E. SUPPORT - NORFOLK (UK) group: There is no copyright on this film/DVD, it is a non-profit gift to the M.E. community from Professor Malcolm Hooper & M.E. Support - Norfolk (UK).
With great expertise Professor Hooper clearly spells out research revealing deep brain structure damage, biochemical, neuro-immune deficit and even genetic changes in M.E. patients - all of which absolutely demolish the deceitful psycho-social models of M.E. and their attendant CBT/GET 'treatments'. The latter of which Professor Hooper shows is a waste of time and money and for which medical professionals may well be sued in the courts. Notions of EITHER viral/bacterial OR chemical causation are overcome with research showing that BOTH bugs and environmental chemicals alike open up the blood-brain-barrier. These are allowing neurotoxic damage to occur with additional poisoning coming from wheat and dairy rich diets via a 'leaky gut' process. A whole prolonged physical dysfunction then being set in place where complex molecular & immune responses cause physical damage to the sufferer. Professor Hooper clearly shows that biomedical diagnostic testing is not only possible but should be done as a matter of course and that whilst there is no cure as yet, intelligent nutritional and other interventions can make a significant difference to a patient's life. Similarities between M.E. and other illnesses are shown but it is also clearly spelled out that M.E. is a unique biomedical disease in its own right with its own aetiology.
I therefore repeat, please, please, please, GET THE DVD, COPY IT FREELY and GIVE IT TO AS MANY M.E. SUFFERERS, DOCTORS, POLITICIANS, JOURNALISTS & LAWYERS AS YOU CAN POSSIBLY AFFORD TO.
