Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 What came to mind is "creative statistics" I have taken many statistics classes for my degree, and have learned that you can havethe results you desire by changing the parameters, etc..... 9 out of 10 say that they prescribe *favorite name brand*. Questions such as how big a sample and other variables are needed. Proud Group Co-owner ThyroFeisty(Feisty)www.thyrophoenix.com Re: Armour consistency was: questions on Mexican generics This popped in my brain again this morning, while watching the news. Everything has to be scientifically proven... or it's not real... doesn't matter that we have thousands of folks that have made the switch to the standard of more than half a century... Anyway.. back to the news. They did a study that now says that high carb diets cause breast cancer. They concluded this by doing anecdotal research on a group of women located in another country, with an entirely different economic structure, climate and genetic base line. To me, that seems to be less than reliable data.... or is that just me? Right now, based on my history... I'll take word of mouth - first hand experience over a doc saying that I need to take these six pills to relieve my depression, pain and fat. And that stuff was said to me, a person with NO thyroid function at all.. and they still don't see a problem. Argghhhhh... It's a lovely Friday night, the beginning of what promises to be a pleasant weekend.. and I don't want to go to that dark place in my mind.. so I'm gonna stop.... oh... and take my dose of worthless pig gland..... *wink* Topper () Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
