IMDb profile

Guido den Broeder (The Hague, 28 February 1957) is the founder and owner of Wikisage. He is a Dutch econometrician, author, politician, chess player, micronationalist, myalgic encephalomyelitis advocate and basic income advocate. He is the founder and chair of the ME Vereniging Nederland and the Stichting ME Research. He was also a board member of the Vereniging Basisinkomen and the Schaakvereniging Rotterdam. On April 1st, 2015 Den Broeder started the micronation Paraduin. He lives in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Education

From 1975 Den Broeder studied general econometrics at the Erasmus University Rotterdam, specializing in econometric methods, model building and economic theory. During his study he started working at the Netherlands Economic Institute. He completed his education in 1981 cum laude. His thesis provides evidence that only in times of significant economic growth, suppliers of labor have freedom of choice on the labor market.

Career

Den Broeder gained international fame with the development of the macro-econometric model AMO-K, which for some 15 years was used to study a number of strategic policy scenarios for the Netherlands.[1][2] From 1990-1995, he was a member of the Economic Committee of the Dutch political party GroenLinks.[3] He was a representative in Rotterdam from 1994 to 2002, and a parliament candidate in 1994 and 1998.

An accomplished chess player, he gained the title of FIDE Master and became champion of the Rotterdam region on two occasions. He finished second in the Dutch Correspondence Chess championship of 1980/81, and authored a number of tournament books.[4][5]

On 1 April 2015, as a protest move, he declared his Rotterdam home as part of a micronation, Paraduin. This was after the Netherlands denied him welfare and the Dutch court refused to hear his case leaving him without means to survive.[6][7]

Den Broeder was an executive producer of the action thriller The Russian Bride, released in 2019. It features a desparate father going to extreme lengths to find a cure for his son, who suffers from a mitochondrial disease.[8] He also wrote the science fiction novel Bellerophon, about a young man with brain damage who has to find his way in a strange world to fulfil a heroic destiny.[9]

Advocacy

On May 12, 1987, Den Broeder fell ill with myalgic encephalomyelitis, and never recovered. The diagnosis arrived at his house while he was playing a chess tournament in Hungary in 1990, where he succumbed to exhaustion halfway the event.[10] During the years that followed, he tried but failed to receive disability benefits, despite having been fully insured.[11]

In a letter to GroenLinks chairman Ab Harrewijn, 1996, Den Broeder asked for political attention to the plight of ME patients in the Netherlands.[12] A budget of € 2.72 million (6 million gulden) was eventually set aside by Dutch parliament for biomedical research into ME. However, after the Gezondheidsraad produced an advice on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) in 2005, the money was squandered on studies into cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and graded exercise therapy (GET) for CFS patients.

In 2004 Den Broeder was one of the leaders of a patient revolt against the board of the government-subsidized ME/CVS-Stichting Nederland, which denied ME and CFS patients influence on the foundation's positions and activities. To give patients a voice and counter the foundation's propaganda of CBT/GET, he co-founded the ME en CVS Vereniging in 2005, later renamed to ME/CVS Vereniging. As a chairmain (two periods) and guideline representative, he educated patients and doctors about the difference between ME and CFS. He furthermore criticised the publications of the Dutch Health Council and the decisions of the Dutch minister of health.

When in 2011 the International Consensus Criteria for ME were published and CFS got classified away from ME in the ICD-10-CM (published in 2015), the decision was made to disband the ME/CVS Vereniging. Den Broeder founded the ME Vereniging Nederland, the national patient organization for ME in the Netherlands. He has served as chairman until this day. Also in 2011, he founded and became president of the Stichting ME Research, a foundation whose purpose is to conduct, promote and interpret research into myalgic encephalomyelitis. He initiated several ongoing projects, including Wetenschap voor Patiënten (Science for Patients). Den Broeder's YouTube channel DossierME shows presentations and interviews from that project.

Den Broeder is a basic income advocate,[13] and served as a board member of the Vereniging Basisinkomen for 13 years. On several occasions he has suggested that ME patients would benefit from the introduction of a basic income, leaving behind the 'unfavorable lottery' that the current system for disability benefits has to offer. Findings by the Stichting ME Research indicate that half of the ME patients in The Netherlands have no or insufficient income.

Together with Wendy Boutilier and John Gabor, Den Broeder founded the international group Global Advocates for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis in 2016. GAME supports the application of the International Consensus Criteria for ME.
