=== Drugs and treatments === '''Exercise and therapy cure for ME is ‘seriously flawed’'''<ref>{{citation |last = Whipple | first = Tom | date = 28 September 2016 | title = Exercise and therapy cure for ME is ‘seriously flawed’|url= http://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/exercise-and-therapy-cure-for-me-is-seriously-flawed-cm66p7kc2|archive-url= http://www.meassociation.org.uk/2016/09/exercise-and-therapy-cure-for-me-is-seriously-flawed-the-times-28-september-2016/|archive-date= 28 September 2016|newspaper= The Times|location= London|access-date= }}</ref> ''The Times'' By: Tom Whipple. (Sep 28, 2016) Paywalled. [http://www.meassociation.org.uk/2016/09/exercise-and-therapy-cure-for-me-is-seriously-flawed-the-times-28-september-2016/ Reprint available via The ME Assocation] "A landmark study suggesting that ME could be treated with exercise and psychological intervention is seriously flawed, scientists have claimed. If correct, it would mean that treatments recommended on the NHS, which have proved hugely controversial among Britain’s 250,000 sufferers of ME, are ineffective." '''Chronic fatigue sufferers getting the wrong treatment—thanks to a falsified study'''<ref>{{citation |last = Hubbard | first = Bryan | date = 12 September 2016 | title = Chronic fatigue sufferers getting the wrong treatment—thanks to a falsified study|url= https://www.wddty.com/news/2016/09/chronic-fatigue-sufferers-getting-the-wrong-treatment-thanks-to-a-falsified-study.html|newspaper= What Doctors Don't Tell You|location= London|access-date= }}</ref> ''What Doctors Don't Tell You'' By: Bryan Hubbard. (Sep 12, 2016) "Sufferers of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are not getting the proper treatment. The standard approach these days is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)—known as the ‘talking therapy’, which implies the problem is mainly in the sufferer’s head—but this is based on a landmark study whose results were falsified, it has been revealed this week. The PACE study had concluded in 2011 that 61 percent of sufferers were getting well on CBT and exercise—but the numbers who really benefited had been inflated three-fold by researchers." '''ME sufferers demand end to exercise treatment'''<ref name="ScotsGET">{{Cite news | url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/me-sufferers-demand-end-to-exercise-treatment-9ncc9nw6n | title = ME sufferers demand end to exercise treatment | last = Macaskill|first = Mark | date = May 10, 2020|work=The Sunday Times|access-date=2020-05-11|archive-url=|archive-date=|language=en|issn=0140-0460|quote=}}</ref> ''The Sunday Times'' By: Mark Macaskill. (May 10, 2020) Paywalled. Scottish ministers are being urged to withdraw a controversial treatment that is prescribed on the NHS to treat myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) but is blamed for leaving many victims housebound or crippled. More than 21,000 Scots suffer from ME, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome, and coronavirus is expected to trigger more cases. There are concerns that GPs will prescribe graded exercise therapy (GET), a treatment offered on the NHS that asks patients to continually increase their levels of activity and “push through” symptoms. Campaigners claim many patients have been harmed by the therapy, and they are pressing for it to be dropped in the UK. '''Immune-Modulating Agents Eyed for 'Chronic Fatigue Syndrome''''<ref>{{citation |last = Tucker | first = Miriam E. | date = 11 November 2016 | title = Immune-Modulating Agents Eyed for 'Chronic Fatigue Syndrome'|url= http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/871787|newspaper= Medscape|location= New York|access-date= }}</ref> ''Medscape'' By: Miriam E. Tucker. (Nov 11, 2016) "The illness known as "chronic fatigue syndrome" isn't typically considered within the purview of oncology, but a chance finding in 2004 led two Norwegian oncologists on a career-consuming mission to shed light on the controversial condition."
