These guys are blind fantatic anti-TM fundamnentalists. They post a study, withoout reading it, that they think negates TM, but in fact is positive about TM. Then they post an study that shows that SSRS technique is "inferior to electroconvulsive therapy" and is no better than a placebo, and think this is a positive report. This is what disturbs me the most about SSRS people. They appear to blind fanatic fundamentalists with no published science to back up their wild claims. And it REALLY gets their goat....when I say: Hundreds of studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, positive effects replicated time and time again, in double-blind studies. (which in their poor understanding they do not realise that this is designed to negate researcher bias. They think double-blind study means "telling the researcher be quite and telling the subjects to "shhh" Lol, what a bunch of fundamentalist fanatics. They sound dangerous to me though. They tell people that SSRS got a degree in advanced physics at 17, when in fact he doesn't have any degree at all. Scary stuff. OffWorld ------------------------ Yahoo!
