That indeed strongly implies cherry-picking participants. It's as big a tell as having participants in a paraplegia trial that commonly run...
As we know with PACE and other trials, that would not be the case. They would just cheat yet again and claim that it worked beyond all...
So, by extension the Norwegian health authority considers NLP to be proven science? Because they can't have one and not the other. LP is based on...
I haven't seen much discussion on this point yet but beyond safety, after 11 years of the current NICE guidelines, where is the data on its...
Of course! I get it now. I was saying it all wrong. It's Leviosa, not Leviosaaaa. Years lost and it was so simple all along. It's them spooky...
Oh, so unblinded trials are a problem now? Or is that only an issue when it does not confirm bias? I'd really love for...
What kills me in this is how few of those there are. It's not as if there were 500 such diseases and giving in to any one of them would open up...
The first sentence either reads like a book report from a student who didn't read the book, or is correctly pointing out that it was a mistake to...
Objective evidence for it or bust. It's not that hard. It's fascinating and very entertaining. But you need actual objective evidence. Moving...
This seems like a very serious scandal in development. One that affects the whole of UK medical research. How common is it to arbitrarily exclude...

"Excessive testing" Oh, yeah. Totally. We are overwhelmed by testing. So many tests being done, thoroughly and there are so many specialists...
"Type A" personalities that are high achievers but also afraid of exercise and malingering and confused over normal bodily senses. It would be...
Anyone thinking that singing loudly is something ME patients should do does not understand much about this disease. Except maybe with earplugs and...
Yeah, that's a weird one. It's still a self-evaluation. That there would be an evaluator involved at all influences the outcome, which is of...
It would be great also if psychological research, often unblinded with self-reported outcomes, was not allowed to arbitrarily overrule biomedical...
The only way to help patients with a disease that medicine misunderstands is through research. Helping the researchers is exactly how you help the...
Same reason LP is being elevated to credible science by the psychosophists. When you want to sell your own personal brand of snake oil, you have...
This looks so much like the stories of cancer survivors who beat it by drinking fermented celery mush except they never actually had cancer in the...
I think it's because of their early promises. Can't remember who found it (on Twitter, IIRC) but their initial predictions was that CBT would have...
Separate names with a comma.
