| 851 | John W Taylor | Her advice is a great encouragement and practical help to those with CFS/ME |
| 852 | Kate Aidley | Through Dr Myhill's website I was able to test for Mitochondrial faliure and now I can get the help I needed from my own doctor as I have a proper diagnosis rather than just vague CFS. |
| 853 | Mr Darryll Moore | Having made contact with Dr Myhill's office earlier in the year and having found them to have been professional, courteous and efficient, as well as their information to have been informative, I am surprised and dismayed by this development, regarding GMC action.
I have read a number of Dr Myhill's publications, at no cost to either myself or the tax payer, and have found them to be balanced and entirely consistent within the current medical consensus regarding possible aetiology, diagnosis, pathology, treatment and prognosis of ME.
Dr Myhill's views might not conform with those of the NHS or NICE, they are, however, very much consistent with those physicians who fundamentally view ME as an illness organic in patho-aeteology.
I am not medically or scientifically qualified but have suffered this ilnness for a number of years and know from bitter personal experiance the plight of those who have fought tenaciously over the years to have ME firstly recognised as a genuine, debilitating illness which is organic in nature and then to effect the neccessary pardigm shift to fully research ME: this should lead to more accessible and efficacious treatment improving sufferers' lives, and those of their carers, and have positive implications for the British economy.
I have never been a patient of Dr Myhill's and can only comment on my 'remote' experiences.
I wish her well. |
| 854 | Gill Williams | as a sufferer of fibromyalgia who has been helped greatly with treatment for hypothyroidism and adrenal insufficiency I strongly support this petition for Dr. Myhill |
| 855 | Andrea Coleman | The standard NHS approach to the symptoms of multiple chemical sensitivities left me addicted to codeine based pain killers, written off by the GP as a hypochondriac and contemplating suicide, all at the tender age of 16. Thanks to Dr. Myhill I am now leading a normal life and have 2 beautiful, apparently allergy free, children of my own. |
| 856 | Anonymous | What about the rhetoric of patient choice? We need more GPs like Dr Myhill. Her advice and support helped me years ago and has continued to help countless others. This is truly a remarkable witchhunt. |

| 858 | alberto gomez sanchez | We the undersigned are astonished and dismayed at the reported intention of the GMC to take action against Dr Sarah Myhill.
We note that there has been no complaint by any patients about her professional conduct which has always been to seek to support and help a variety of patients with complex illnesses of an organic origin- ME/CFS, Gulf War Syndrome and the like. Because of the commitment of the UK medical establishment to a view of these illnesses are psychogenic in origin patients are being neglected, wrongly diagnosed, and given inappropriate treatments. We need more doctors like Dr Myhill rather than a witch hunt to suppress her healing arts and skills. |

| 863 | shani rendell | as i suffer with fibromyalgia, a condition which is not unlike ME i believe it is important for these conditions to be recognised for their severity and the effect on the lives for those that suffer with it. |

| 867 | Sarah mallinson | This is a traversty. Dr Myhill should be praised, not punished. |

| 871 | Linda MacDonald | As a Canadian caught in the same internal issues as all ME/CFS patients face trying to access reasonable healthcare in their homeland, I have also gone far afield in search of solutions and found that Dr Myhill's treatment protocol was comparable to that of two of our best Alberta CFS clinicians. Those clinicians who have not managed to alienate their patients and have achieved somewhat of international acclaim have done so through respect, through listening to the patient, and through intelligent use of available treatmetn options. They have also acknowledged the MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities) ubiquitous in their CFS patients, and endorsed the use of highly personalized dietary and energy managment strategies in the absence of available treatments to address the underlying pathology of ME/CFS. Could the British Health care authorities please recognize that Dr. Myhill is internationlly appreciated and respected for her approach?
It is the British researchers who have received considerable funding for unfounded psychiatric hypotheses about this by now well established biomedical illness, whose attitudes, practice and methods should be investigated for malpractice - and human rights violations.
The Canadian Human Rights Commission has issued a statement about MCS - that it constitutes a valid disability which must be accommodated in the workplace. Numerous law suits and rights cases are underway in Canada which are contributing to a similar status for ME/CFS.
the petition says the rest, thank you.

| 872 | Liz Wright | The work of ‘renegades’ like Dr Myhill is and always has been vital to progress and especially to patients. The BMA should be making distinctions between those who are breaking new ground ‘in working outside their area of expertise’ in a way which is having only positive repercussions for patients, and those practitioners who might be a danger to and exploiting vulnerable patients. Also, the BMA should be taking action to stop other doctors from using the BMA’s regulations as a way of attacking any individuals who are not conforming to their own outdated or prejudiced approaches. |
| 873 | cody | I have yet to try your treatment but when funds become available I plan on giving it a go. Thank you dr Myhill for trying to help people with CFS during this time of disbelief by most. |
| 874 | Ann Boehm | I have read commentary about the physiological basis of ME/CFS written by Dr. Sarah Myhill and have found it to be in keeping with much of the most respected international research delineating physical abnormalities in this patient population. It is alarming to hear that her earnest and careful efforts on behalf of so many erroneously stigmatized and very ill people are being undermined. Moreover, with so much evidence unmasking the neuro-immune properties of this illness, I find it ludicrous that the UK medical establishment is still clinging to the arrogant posturings of those who espouse a psychological explanation of the disorder. Censuring doctors as dedicated to unravelling the mystery of ME/CFS as Dr. Myhill makes no scientific sense, no social sense, no ethical sense. Let's see--what's left? Economic "sense"? "Political sense?" |

| 876 | Alexander M Aitken | Dr Myhill is undeniably at the forefront of providing medically and scientifically sound advice for the treatment and management of CFS/ME and has been a great help to me in my 11+ year illness, to which my regular GP has been of sadly limited help. This GMC hearing, based on surprisingly shaky 'medical' objections, seems to have originated as a personal disagreement. It is my hope that these professional distractions can proceed as speedily as possible towards a clear acquittal. |
| 877 | Margaret Aitken | The NHS has provided this family with an astonishing lack of help with CFS, hypothyroidism and eczema. Dr Myhill has provided us with effective treatments, explanations, reading materials and hope. I don't know what we would have done without her kindness and expertise. |

| 880 | Keith S.L.Daffern | Since my consultation with Dr.Sarah Myhill, the quality of my life after following her suggestions has increased beyond my dreams |
| 881 | PAUL KEENAN | Sarah Myhill is an immense doctor. A brilliant and caring lady who has helped me considerably.
He knowledge is far greater than any other doctor i have seen(15-16). She has actually help many patients using proven methods. Mnay doctors around the world who treat fatigue have refered to her such as Dr Patrick Magovern from Ireland and M.D DR Holtorf from The U.S.A uses the exact same protocol for treating fatigue.
It is obsurd that this is even happening. I think Obe's are also obsurd but if anyone deserved one it would be Dr Myhill. Why are doctors who actually treat people not being given encouragement? It is a complete joke; i am furious about this. |
| 882 | ChrisThomas | Dr Myhill's specialist knowledge and guidance have been invaluable to me. After 7 years of chronic fatigue, following her regime has greatly improved my quality of life. I can't praise her highly enough. I would say that after the initial one hour appointment, she knows more about my background and state of health than my GP does after numerous visits. She was professional at all times, gave me hope and encouraged me to take responsibility for my own well-being. Her methods work. |

| 886 | Kerry Conboy | Dr. Myhill is being targetted because she applies her knowledge to help people regain their health, despite constraints from GMC.
Her web site demonstrates excellent information.
Not one of her patients have complained about their treatment from Dr. Myhill.
This most certainly is a witch hunt, joning those of other doctors who sucessfully treat patients in the private sector - which is the ONLY way many poeple are able to receive excellent medical advice. |
| 887 | Dr. Kevin Pyke | Sarah Myhill has done a geat deal to help ME sufferers in this country. It is a shame there are not more like her who recognise this physical illness for what it is and show such understanding. The action of the GMC is a disgrace. |
| 888 | Irene Thorpe | I had the mitocondral profile test done via Dr Myhill. It showed I had heavy metal probem and a leaky gut. My Gp will not have mich to do with my treatment and I nead a Dr like sarah who knowladge surpasses most in this country |
| 889 | Paul McPartlin | |
| 890 | Louise Wiseman | To hear of such persecution is frightening in our so called free society. patients deserve freedom of choice. |
| 891 | Anne Miller | Dr Myhill's site has helped me tremendously, what a shame if her innovative approach to treatment might be censored and patient's choice limited. |
| 892 | Susan Gibbens | I do not understand why anyone would want to take action against Dr Myhill. She is the only Dr who has ever understood my illness. If you want to look into anyone then i suggest you look at the normal family practioners who have totally closed minds, unless they learnt it out of their medical text books it doesnt exsist . L |
| 893 | Helen Humphries | It is beyond belief to me that this is happening. I am a long time patient of Dr Myhill and she has more integrity, intelligence and less ego than anyone I have ever met in the profession. That someone should be allowed to question her proffesional conduct reflects very badly on the proffesion itself - and they used to say the law is an ass......... |
| 894 | Caroline Nash | Dr Myhill's scientific and evidence-based protocols have not only explained the causes but set out suitable treatment for my illness/s which my own GP, rheumatologist and endocrinologist were unable to help me with. I am now, after 12 years, on the road to recovery much to my GP's astonishment. We need more doctors with Dr Myhill's vision, dedication and commitment to patient care. |
| 895 | Maggie Leathley | I am one of the very few people I know to have made a complete recovery from ME. At the time I first consulted Dr Myhill I had difficulty walking and needed to spend 22 hrs out of 24 in bed every day, and had been ill for well over a year.
It is my view that the help I had from Dr. Myhill contributed very significantly to my recovery and that without this help I would in all likelihood still be unable to work or have a normal life. I will always be very grateful to Dr. Myhill for the help she gave me at a time when the NHS had nothing to offer me. |
| 896 | Brigid Burt | |
| 897 | Andy Croft | To the GMC... People with ME will be heard, you cannot sweep them under the carpet forever. You are merely exascerbating a growing discontent amongst patients by gunning for pioneering doctors like Sarah Myhill, whose treatment regimes offer common sense practise based on sound science, unlike concensus treatments offered by current general practise which are totally inadequate and virtually useless, i.e. CBT and GET. By this action against Sarah Myhill you are condemning many local ME sufferers to further misery and illness. There are a great many other patients across the UK who wish their region was as lucky as Powys is to have a practitioner like Sarah. Why not spend your money on patient support and biomedical research instead of this ludicrous witch-hunt? |
| 898 | Anonymous | i suffer from m.e and im disgusted with the level of help and support m.e patients receive,its clear that this dr has the best inerests of her patients and should be commended not carpeted! |
| 899 | Jenny Cook | Dr Myhill was and is hugely important in the care and support of a close friend of mine who has ME. Five years ago she was allergic to most things, Now (aged 60) she is just completing an MA degree and has a dog, can eat most foods & has returned to 9st 7lbs from being 6st 7lbs (she's 5'7").
She still has to manage the fatigue & can't walk far but she considers Dr Myhill to be a life saver. |
| 900 | Mrs J Shailer | Dr Myhill is the first doctor who has ever helped me in my struggle with CFS. Her advice has made considerable difference to me and I am very grateful to her. |
