Miscellaneous thoughts on evidence of clinical benefit

Theory, Observations, and Endpoints http://bit.ly/973RMz

There was once a time in history when doctors prescribed blood-letting, and

were convinced that it was effective - and could cite many success stories.

In comparison, homeopathy (water with trace amounts of different compounds)

along with good hygiene appeared effective! Each practice (disproven by

modern scientific methods) was based on a prevailing theory and substantial

clinical observation.
