    Situation

    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 a 2006 Inquiry into ME yet still the media/public are unaware of the suffering that continues due to vested interests affecting policies in healthcare,academia,media. The book will definitively explain the influence of politics affects healthcare –and ultimately ME patients

    Solution

    The book will interview scientists, researchers, politicians, journalists, patients, carers and others and produce a definitive and authoritative body of research to expose the machinations and bias that pervades establishment organisations and, subsequently, carries down to affect the lives of patients, carers and whole families. Travelling through USA and Europe local interviews will be carried out with those who know the stories behind the politics and those affected by them.
