Both are ideological positions not supported by any form of science-as-process. Using a yoga technique known as g Tum-mo, they entered a state of deep meditation. Mephistopheles O'Brien @ 59 is spot-on: '...Massage to help you relax and ease soreness – fine. Of course there were those that were slow to accept the evidence, but generally I think the scientific community did a good job. There is evidence that personal use of CAM by health care workers is related to the provision of, referral for, or general openness to the integration of CAM therapies in health care practices. Again, when studies have actually been done (mostly not in the US) comparing traditional yoga practices to western exercises, the yoga practices are often better. Or that it's worsening. It's noted, however, that although the average of reported usage by physicians is the lowest, geographic variability in usage among physicians is the highest, ranging from only 24% of physicians in Denver having reported ever using CAM (I really didn't see that one coming, given Colorado's well-known predilection for embracing quackery) to 49% of physicians in Kentucky and up to 83% of primary care physicians at a medical school (it was the Morehouse School of Medicine, for anyone who's interested). I've been pondering this on and off today: I wouldn’t be so quick to write off Asian study of the outside form. With modern chemical agriculture, we *don't know how ignorant we are* -- we are dealing with *unknown unknowns*, to use Rumsfeld's phrase. Pretty damn near any branch of massage. I sound like I am a very ill individual, but for most of life I didn't visit doctors for more than strep throat or an upper respiratory infection. Funny how the authors get so excited about "trends" that confirm their hypothesis, and yet ignore similar "trends" that go the wrong way. Whatever happened later, I will always be grateful for the start in…, Here's a brief update on the move, announced last week. I don't think that it's a question or good and bad at all: it involves- like all life decisions- weighing the contributions vs the problems with any particular product. [btw, I didn't know there was a whole cult out there chasing lucid dreaming, to include taking drugs until I started studying sleep disorders and came across their ideas on the net.]. The recent discussion of the birthing at home kerfuffle* seems to support my concern. Add suggestion and a belief system (not to mention the desire to please one's hosts), and the effect may seem to have an anomalous cause (which it does not). When you get down to nuts and bolts, what are you talking about? The upsides to the visits, I felt like someone listened to me, I have no illusions about natural medicine anymore and I know that I have covered that base in trying to find out what is wrong with me. I can report from my own experience that a year and a half of tai chi improved my flexibility and physical function in a way that reductionist stretching never did, despite many efforts over years. Which strategy would be wisest? Much of what you see now is backlash against that particular form of ignorant arrogance. Massage to help you relax and ease soreness - fine. It’s times like these that I wonder whether the forces of pseudoscience have already won. Lie, the author, said and to see what the reasons are for whatever answer she came up with. There are also three aspects, or phases, to discovery: innovation (finding something new), research (finding out what to do with this new thing) and development (optimizing the use of the new thing). If you stick around here and continue reading in this area you will soon pick up the basics of looking at studies like this. In the larger sense, I am very intrigued by the possibility of controlling aspects of our autonomic nervous system. Lie's article. Maybe because I've been a semi-lucid dreamer since my teenage years, I just take it for granted, and I don't understand this burning passion to accomplish it like displayed here http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/ But, it is fine if you are trying to achieve it. However, in actual practice things get complicated with co-founding factors. Another doctor, Arthur J Morris, also infected himself with H. pylori, which made him ill, and despite initial treatment with antibiotics and bismuth it took 3 years of different treatments to eradicate. And it was glorious. Did someone say "risible"? It is a story of how one person can make a difference to stem the tide of disaster. And, yes, I thought all of the papers in either location were as rigorously scientific as a layman was ever was going to be able to access. There is still an entire scientific field, pharmacognosy, that is based on looking for useful drugs in plants, and traditional uses of herbs are a part of this. I have found sometimes my mind messes with itself. I do get the impression that the signal is nowhere near compelling, and absolutely not strong enough to overcome the minuscule a priori probability of there being a real effect beyond placebo. So basically this boy is walking by a dike (basically a wall that stops water from coming through). To summarize the three visits, I was advised to order a whole bunch of supplements, most I tried and not a darn one worked, since my fatigue was a mystery she dwelt on my high blood pressure (just like my GP) for a majority of the time instead, and when she advised that I just keep upping my melatonin dose until it improved my sleep, I pretty much ran away from that office. I did not do well on Paxil. I have made progress after the nautropath. All Natural Science with no Supernatural ingredients! The patient is asking for your recommendation for a complementary or alternative medicine (CAM) option that would improve his functioning and ability to participate in more vigorous physical activity. This is an excellent bird book that all Australian birders simply need to have. Lastly, as I mentioned elsewhere, a spot of good news today: Herbalife is being investigated by USA authorities as a pyramid scheme. You can learn a lot about large short-term effects, such as death, through trial and error, but there are limits. I can’t help but note that the very first sentence promulgates a common myth about CAM, namely that anywhere from one-third to one-half of patients use it; i.e, that its so popular that it should be considered mainstream. And THE SUN! I'll look into searching by MeSH terms. I never got to see that in person as I worked evenings (only worked with him when he rotated through them) but I did hear stories. I idly researched one of the stress-reducers on that Bulletproof site once, Heart Math. he uses the (tm) sign There isn't. My Ob/Gyn prescribed them and I have been taking them even since. Oddly, tearing down SBM is usually accompanied by a trumpetting of an alternative system or individual, often being the person doing the hatchet job. BTW, my very favorite in the Tibetan travelers' tales genre is 'Sungods in Exile' which turned out to be a hoax. But then I reassure myself by pointing out that, if you exclude exercise, diet, and manipulative therapies, vanishingly small numbers of physicians and other health care providers use anything that could in any way be considered “CAM.”. The people who are getting paid to be skeptical about the research before it is published appear to be failing in a big way, and I don't just mean this particular study. Diet and exercise as a way to reduce cholesterol and strengthen your heart - that's fine. :(, http://www.cancercenter.com/ctca-difference/integrative-cancer-treatmen…, Apparently they can boost your immune system. You can also shop using Amazon Smile and though you pay nothing more we get a tiny something. It was only when Warren and Marshall more or less accidentally found a way to culture H. pylori that their work became replicable and they had a way to convince the sceptics. This is called Mayûra-âsana. Many conventional drugs based on traditional treatments, such as opiates, cocaine, aspirin, digoxin, quinine, physostigmine, pilocarpine, d-tubocurarine, and ephedrine, for example; I could go on. There’s no evidence behind a lot of it, unfortunately. Between us I think we have most time zones covered. Case in point: the description of Mystic Heat has become quite standardised over the years, like a bed-time story, with "clouds of steam evaporating from blankets" as an integral element (the Harvard Gazette report is careful to touch that base). Ex : garçon - nm > On dira "le garçon" ou "un garçon".She put the frozen chicken fingers in the oven in time for lunch. How does he get doctors to order every test under sun? The harder find, and stranger still, was that the article with the most substance was at a business site here. Surprisingly often it isn't even a published paper that triggers an article like this, but a poster presentation, or a preliminary finding that shouldn't really get anyone too excited. You always have well reasoned, informative answers. I try whirly rope with spear. And why would you go to any doctor given that you distrust them? There's something funny about this discussion. If they did refine them, how is it that we find so many different versions of yoga and tai chi? SBM, on the other hand, tends to weigh observational studies and basic science into the equation. Are there, for example, insurance implications if the doctor is on board? I'll concede that my opinion about diving for some sort of Stuckey's gift shop–level materialist novelty in Lamaism is conditioned by closing in on the end of this and the tanking of Ch'an at the end of the Sung dynasty by virtue of, basically, endorsement of sitting around like a lump "meditating" on isolated words in straightforward observations. I am amazed when I IIRC, Alexandra David-Neel was quite cynical about the gTummo techniques, or at least unimpressed with them... in her account, the important part is the control of respiration, while the visualisations are just flim-flam (or a tool for ignoring the discomfort so the breathing exercises can be conducted undistracted). For news, history or politics, I always try to find at least three different sources, preferably on both central ends of the political spectrum, to see if they agree on the factual data. Thanks for the science behind it. And having just read his reply to my comment, I'll include it here as he expounded on this: "In the real world two things are the case-- first, scientists don't just report their results, they also offer recommendations; and in this case the scientists recommended using the lower blood pressure target. If it were on a website, I would be very wary of any that are not linked to academic or institutional sources. I only here because I heard this phrase on Scarface. It might be fair, if perhaps confusing, to characterize yoga and tai chi as boundary methodologies. Those working in the ambulatory setting were more likely than hospital workers to use CAM. I'm glad you don't, but remember that this is what gets rejected when doctors are hostile to "alternative medicine". shank @1, imr90 @3 -- To expand on this a bit, "evidence based medicine", as I understand it, tends to privilege the clinical trial as a form of evidence, while "science-based medicine" adopts what might be called a Bayesian approach -- assigning low prior probabilities to modalities which, in order to be effective, would require a wholesale reworking of well-tested laws of physics and chemistry. If you look at biologically based therapies, which includes any diet-based therapy, such as vegetarian diet, macrobiotic diet, Atkins diet, Pritikin diet, Ornish diet, Zone diet, South Beach diet, as well as any use of dietary supplements, you'll notice that 68.9% report some form of self-treatment, but only 0.3% doing "practitioner-based" therapy. The CAM narrative is that conventional medicine is so entrenched in its dogma that it took decades to accept the idea that peptic ulcer disease was caused by a bacterial infection.
