I have not had an opportunity to ask Dr. Lambert about this but he certainly did not know of its existence earlier, judging by the responses to Senator Colm Burke's questioning. Given the discourse whereby we have constituents contacting us to say the opposite of what the witnesses are saying about the evidence of international treatment, perhaps this is a case of the placebo effect among those who have spent €10,000 on treatment and have returned to Ireland feeling well.

Regarding the International Classification of Diseases, ICD, codes, Dr. Glynn said the ICD is just a dictionary. How does one get an entry into the dictionary? Can I write to the World Health Organization telling it I have a new symptom and would like to call it something and asking it to add the definition to the ICD codes the next time it reviews them? How does one get an entry into the ICD if it is just a dictionary?
