This is an odd question.speedy7 said:
The "double blind" aspect of some studies is simply one factor utilized in some study design. In and of itself, it does not guarantee any specific degree of validity.

Validity? Well it reduces any chance of researcher/interviewer bias. If thats not an increase in validity ive not just got my BSc!

Nelson, I respect you a lot, and the inflammatory response to your threads made this board a lot more interesting, LOL...but I think maybe people are trying to get from you the same level of evidence you are demanding from them.
You ask for double blind ( not possible in the cardio example, though), randomized, controlled ,full text studies, yet you offer to back your oppinion the years of experience and knowledge you have and the oppinion of the fine people you know. I suppose if you were at a symposium or a scientific debate, you'd be ruled out for refusing to present hard evidence.
You know, personal experience IS, after all, a very low degree of evidence, that cannot back up any kind of recomendation .
It is VERY HARD to say without any shed of a doubt that someyhing is the ULTIMATE TRUTH, specially in an area that has sooooo much research to be done, so many unanswered questions.
Just my thoughts...
