There is no 'medical establishment'. There are people trying to work out where their limited amounts of money should be best spent.

£1.6million is not much, for the scale of the problem, but I would not put my rational charity dollar into CFS funding, or indeed into any first-world medical problem, and I actually have some chance of being a sufferer.
