Karina Hansen

I'm assuming everyone reading this will already be familiar with the situation but if not here's basically what's going down.

Karina has now spent months in a locked psychiatric ward against her and her families will. Again, whilst it's incredibly important to highlight the lack of evidence supporting the idea of M.E being a functional disorder that's not what I'm personally going to focus on. It's quite clear that Per Fink is not interested in hearing evidence to the contrary. What is of paramount importance right now is that Per Fink and the drones at Hammel Neuro centre understand is that there is ZERO peer reviewed evidence supporting Graded Exercise Therapy for severe sufferers. You don't need to have a background or qualifications in science to understand that this makes Fink's intervention rest on very, very shaky ground.

As I alluded to in my previous post, the science is even incredibly questionable for the efficacy of GET in moderate or mild patients. A more detailed analysis can be found within this fantastic article. Just what does he think he's going to achieve here? A recovery? What? It's not going to happen. Sorry.

There is no debate left, she is being experimented on and I am gravely concerned that this will lead to her losing her life. Sophia Mirza was sectioned in 2005 in the UK and later died. Wanting to help her is not a good enough excuse when there is a precedent for interventions such as this resulting in death of the patient. Not that I think for one second Per Fink wants to help her. From his arrogant sentiments and complete disregard for scientific evidence I don't feel as though there is any exaggeration in stating that personal ambition and ego are the primary catalysts for his actions. It seems to be a rather disconcerting theme that blights the scientific world and one we're all very familiar with suffering from M.E.

I'm at a complete loss as of how to help. I've contacted journalists, emailed Per Fink, contacted celebs, M.E charities who aren't already involved, but what else? Will he even be held accountable should her health deteriorate? Why is it ok to experiment on a patient because you can flash a qualification around?  What happened to science? What happened to the rule of law? What happened to treating patients with fucking respect? I hope Karina is released but if the worst does happen I hope we can all put every ounce of energy we have into making sure those responsible do not get away with this.
