There is no sign of an abstract

 

Oh dear.

 

Coloured light therapy crap again??? It was proven useless and often harmful (by convincing people to not seek proper medical treatment) probably several times in the past. His "then it is logical that" is illogical.

There should be a list of "undead" treatments: silly pseudomedicine that keeps rising from the dead.


Why do I think that this "pilot study" will somehow end up showing positive results?

 

Alison Bested was a leading ME/CFS doctor in Canada a number of years ago. She then moved to Nancy Klimas’ INIM in Florida.

 

I think it sounds lovely. I could happily bathe in some pretty light rays.

Don’t @me if you all find out in about five minutes that this whole thing has a dark side.

 

"I need to publish something, and I've already done the cranial massage, the electronic detox, and the happy app. Crystals, maybe? Oh, I know – nobody's done coloured light for ages."

 

Did they control for the colours of the clothes participants wore during the trial period, what they watched on TV, how the rooms they frequent were decorated, etc? Did they do darkness controls? Perhaps they should monitor the auras of everyone the subjects came into contact with, including the researchers.

Or perhaps not, given the whole exercise is pointless.
