I had a conversation at the NICE committee with Burton over the fact that pragmatic trials of this sort by definition cannot provide evidence of...
Yes, the predictive coding idea was backwards and they are all too dim to notice. The ideas seem about as new as becoming a druid or re-screening...
I see no good reason for a trial of this size not to be placebo controlled. I think making matched placebos can be expensive but in view of the...
Reading both the HVLand the Lewin blurbs, with reference to qualitative research and thematic groups it looks to me that at least this part of...
Bedbugs even?
It may do but if the Cochrane brand is no longer taken seriously it may simply emphasises the non-academic flavour of the school.
I get the impression that the new place is more an institution wanting to be a university than an established one. So it looks bit like beggars...
Except that it isn't really. Both Rorty and James had well-defined arguments for particular metaphysical approaches. James was also genuinely a...
What the author seems to be unaware of is that Chris Burtons' love of pragmatism is purely based on the idea of muddling along without doing any...
The title seems a bit precious. As far as I am concerned the immune system was always defined as an anti-viral pharmacy.
I see Cochrane as slipping rapidly down the plughole. There have been lots of reasons but I wouldn't be surprised if this particular move...
I think the very lengthy account of pilot trials and a few formal trials over 15 years shows that it probably doesn't work or is toxic. If it had...
This looks naive to me. I have not looked beyond the abstract though. I would like to see a much better rationale for giving IL-2 if I was on an...
That isn't quite the issue. I have no idea whether she believes anything or not. But I know that she was brought up in a sceptical scientific...
That is simply quack pseudoscience. It does not surprise me, unfortunately. RLHIM seems to have made it clear it is a quack outfit and proud fit...
I don't think EstherCrawley was ever biopsychosocial believer in the way that this group want to tells they are. She followed what seemed a...
That may well true.However, to continue the metaphors, a range of people here have nailed their colours to a particular mast when they need not...
It's a disgrace. And I am sorry that it has happened in my university centre. RLHIM made it clear that they were just going to do their own sort...
I have come to see things rather differently, having tried to engage with various founder members of Cochrane. These self-interested biases and...
This is a pretty weird statement. It seems that the 'objective' was to report the ones that did brilliantly, with no mention of anyone who didn't....
