And your qualifications over the scientists and professors that reviewed them and decided them worthy of publication are what?
Are you a scientist? Are you a professor? In what field? I suggest you take all these studies, find the strictest criteria you can come up with, subject all the studies to such criteria, then get the results published in a peer-reviewed respected journal. If anyone does this analysis, they will find the results robust and lasting. Your protestation of this amounts to prejudice and supertition until you have published a statistical model yourself. Whenever these studies have been subjected to stricter criteria, the results have become even more striking. Put up, or shut up. You are working entirely from prejudice and bigotry. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, akasha_108 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > One of the cited 12 ME studies was publsihed in the Journal of the > Iowa Academy of Science. > > Dillbeck, M.
