I am not blaming parents. I am blaming physicians who use untested and implausible treatments. As indicated there is absolutely nothing reasonable...
I think it would have been better for AfME to say nothing at all rather than sound like they are trying to smooth over ruffled waters. The...
I am not sure about that. Increasingly when a do a citation list in a paper I find myself just putting URLs. Key bits of information are not...
Absolutely. I guess a more positive way of putting my thoughts would be that this is a really crucial area to investigate and assessing...
Hi @Cillian Dudley, But is it more than market research for the device in reality? No doubt you hope it will be useful to people but if the...
Lack of funding is never an excuse for supplying inadequately tested treatments - which is fraud. Nobody forces people to sell bogus medicines.
Actually extremely useful from my perspective but now redundant. Thanks.
I see nothing reasonable or responsible about using a treatment with no evidence base and no credible scientific base that will drive a wedge...
That looks like a partisan view. If it was a genuinely independent view it would be written differently. We would be given a few pieces of...
Yes, the H+ should have the arrow in the other direction. Where does the diagram come from? OH gross attached to carbons do not dissociate. The...
We have discussed this before but the answer I think is no because saline given IV will be passed out in the urine within 20 minutes just the same...
That looks to me like a redox change, not an acid-base change. Adding two uncharged hydrogens does not generate positive hydrogen ions. The added...
I am really not familiar with cell pH control but I am not sure things work like that. Lactate and pyruvate ions are basic rather than acid in...
I think it may be highly 'irresponsible' to suggest that homeopathy is only water. If I remember rightly the 'only water' is dropped on to chalk...
Is there actually any evidence for cells being more acidic and blood more alkaline. I am not a metabolic doctor but it sounds a bit unlikely to me.
It is basically a matter of finding evidence of abnormal antibodies that can reasonably be linked to the arthritis. For rheumatoid factor or...
It isn't really so much a case of subgrouping as of trying to pin down what physiological abnormality you think you might be wanting to address...
But 'having clinical effect' implies a cause and effect relationship, which cannot be deduced from single cases, only from formal trials. So there...
The trouble is that is exactly the same argument as used in the Cochrane review for amitriptyline (* see below) - no evidence but sure it must...
The Cochrane review is quite revealing. There is no decent evidence but the reviewers say it obviously works anyway so go on using it. This now...
Separate names with a comma.
