What's to say there weren't multiple spreaders?

Is there evidence to support acupuncture for pain? I had the impression such evidence was rather poor. Am I wrong?
From the abstract I assume this is just correlation with no demonstration of causality. I imagine being more unwell makes one more likely to claim...

Someone close to me suffers terribly from anxiety and your description is spot on. Just because CBT has been abused in our case doesn't mean it is...
But we know the general population data for SF36 PF is non normal due to hitting the ceiling of 100 for healthy people. (Eg. The first hit on a...

I get the point about using the general population rather than the presumably narrower patient group. But we've seen that the distribution of the...
Alpha particles are stopped by a piece of paper or a few centimeters of air. To do damage you need to ingest something radioactive and have it...
