Actually, the main basis of my theory is research into how chronic stress affects the HPA axis, and how treatments appear to reverse this dysfunction in CFS patients. The "hand-wavy" stuff you refer to is really just to try to explain things better to patients, however the actual theory itself (https://peerj.com/preprints/860/ https://peerj.com/preprints/860/) should be solid. However, now that you point it out, I can see there are some sections of the website which I'll need to take a look at again. Actually, rather than blaming victims, I'm actually saying that most patients don't really have good information about the etiology of the illness, which is what I'm attempting to address. (There is some anti-psychiatric bias as well, but that is present in the general population as well). Anyway, if you have any constructive comments I'd love to hear them (email is probably easier). Otherwise there's probably no point discussing any further.
