Re: Re: Professor Wessely and Dr White's views

"Professor Wessely can take a broad view, but not one so broad that
it encompasses contradicting philosophies. He must promote the concept
that CFS/ME is primarily psychologically induced or that it is not, but he
cannot do both. -Erik Johnson "

This indeed is a serious issue,

Can Professor Wessely enlighten us?

I feel the ME community derserves an answer.
