No Understanding, No Consent: The Case Against Alternative Medicine http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26806449?dopt=Abstract … If patients understood it they wouldn't consent?
@HannaIsotalus @Neuro_Skeptic I'm afraid I've a real problem with the so-called 'scientific' underpinnings of our safety/efficacy evidence >

@C7RKY @HannaIsotalus@Neuro_Skeptic I'm a fan of science but from what I've learned, I see v little scientific about the process at all tbh -
@C7RKY@Neuro_Skeptic Could you elaborate a little? -
@HannaIsotalus
@Neuro_Skeptic Sure. There are just too many weaknesses for me, any one of which may be enough to produce erroneous results > -
@HannaIsotalus
@Neuro_Skeptic 1 Trial design limitations 2 Changing outcomes measured post-trial 3 Unconscious bias 4 Peer review failings > -
@HannaIsotalus
@Neuro_Skeptic 5 Failure to register trials 6 Failure to publish trials That last one alone is sufficient, imho Any thoughts? -
@C7RKY@Neuro_Skeptic But yes: We need so much more transparency than we have now. (sorry about the million tweets!) -
@HannaIsotalus
@Neuro_Skeptic Don't worry. :) I'm always happy to learn what other people think, no matter how many tweets it takes... -
@C7RKY @HannaIsotalus@Neuro_Skeptic Transparency is the key. Science *demands* it. In fact without it, it's not science in my book, tbh.
