Science, Politics and ME - Lifting the Lid on ME

Organised by IiME

It is important to understand the influence of politics on an invisible illness such as ME, how establishment forces affect the way research, funding and information is given. This book will do that.

Invest in ME Research has, as its objective, to change how myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) is perceived, treated and researched. We do this by raising funding for biomedical research and improving education about the disease. We are currently facilittaing high-quality biomedical research in UK/Europe

Story

ME patients are often not in a position to be heard and misconceptions/ignorance about the disease is compounded by a prejudiced denial of ME - as an ‘aberrant belief’ rather than a devastating physical disease.

Dr Gibson led an independent Inquiry into ME in 2006 which made a number of recommendations yet still the media and public seem unaware of the real suffering that continues due to vested interests that affect policies in healthcare, academia and the media. 

The book will definitively explain the influence of politics on healthcare – and ultimately ME patients. 

With the help of members in the European ME Alliance this book will promoted around the world.
