Articles on ME by Professor Malcolm Hooper and Margaret Williams, written from 1986 to 2025

With thanks to both Margaret Williams and Malcolm Hooper for allowing me to put their articles on my website.

This page contains articles by Margaret Williams and Professor Malcolm Hooper (and a few others) together with related documents written by other people (for example, the Countess of Mar, Professor George Szmukler, Professor Simon Wessely, Professor Michael Sharpe, as well as official reports and the PACE trial protocol). The intention is to provide a valuable historical resource for researchers, advocates, patients and anyone interested in the illness Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. These articles illustrate how the “Wessely School” have ignored the biomedical science on ME/CFS for over 30 years.

Margaret Williams is the pen-name used by someone who spent her professional life in the British National Health Service (NHS), latterly in a senior clinical capacity for many years until severe ME put an end to her career. For professional and personal reasons she does not wish her own name to be in the public domain.

Malcolm Hooper is Emeritus Professor of Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Sunderland in the UK, and is an advocate for ME/CFS patients. He chaired the International Invest in ME Conference in 2008, 2010, and 2011. Professor Hooper is also the Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK National Gulf Veterans Association and President of the NGVFA (The National Gulf Veterans and Families Association).

Articles in bold are considered important or significant. Some that I would particularly recommend are –
