Sin poner en duda las buenas experiencias que diversos pacientes hayan tenido con él, creo interesante para tener una visión lo más objetiva posible valorar también aquellos casos en los que la experiencia no haya sido muy buena.
Buscando por Internet he encontrado una web en la que un paciente suyo, de manera objetiva creo yo, facilita los datos para poder acudir a su consulta a pesar de que en su caso la experiencia no ha sido muy buena.
Entre las respuestas a dicha entrada, hay una experiencia de otra paciente que me ha sorprendido un poco (aunuqe es del 2011):
"I have been consulting Dr. De Meirleir for a little less than a year now, and have -like others before me- come to the conclusion that it isn’t worth the effort, and certainly not the money. The tests are exorbitantly expensive, not refunded by national health insurance, and, as Johan said, not always relevant. The test reports seem to mean something to DM himself, though he always tells me he has to ‘interpret’ them, but not to other doctors. He constantly contradicts himself, saying one thing during the consultation, and recommending something else in his written recommendation to my GP. He knows his own ‘stuff’ about immunity, but completely ignores all other health aspects or issues. His recommendation for thyroid hormone, for example, would have killed me. Luckily, I was on the case and consulted my endocrinologist. There is no room for dialogue, true consultation or asking questions, not even a proper anamnesis. Symptoms have to be indicated by ticking boxes on a preprinted form, which he then silently reads in the presence of the patient, rather than -God forbid- asking the patient directly. His manner is aloof, sometimes even rude, and does not inspire confidence. I suspect him of seeing his patients, not as human beings, but as potential creatures for experiments and a source of income. During my last consultation, he roundly asked me ‘so what do you want from me?’, because I had the temerity of not getting better from his treatment. He then prescribed another series of tests amounting to 730 Euros (including a 280 Euro stool analysis, which my GP can have done at a fraction of the cost). When I explained I didn’t have that kind of money, I was told simply that ‘the Professor could not help me any more’.
Fine by me, I don’t want to be ‘helped’ in this way. The only good thing about seeing DM is that when I have to see the national health doctor to prove disablement and incapacity to work, I can honestly say I have tried everything possible to get better."

Yo sigo pensando que es la mejor opción a nivel Europeo para intentar encontrar una solución a nuestra enfermedad y que según comenta Sergio, son varios pacientes en España los que se están desplazando a verle y muchos los que mejoran con él, no quiero crear polémica, sólo saber algo más acerca de él, su trato y su praxis puesto que debe ser muy caro y complicado ir a verle, hacerse los análisis que manda y seguir sus tratamientos.
Sólo busco aprender porque seguro que soy un ignorante en muchas cosas.
Un saludo
