Research: Third of Study Results Don't Hold Up - DOTmed.com

Complementary therapies are often dismissed by the mainstream medical establishment becasue there is little experimental evidence of their effectiveness.

Given that many therapies are hands-on it's difficult to devise double blind trails and the money isn't available for large scale studies because much conventional medical research is funded by the big drug companies.

Interesting then to see that in this recent study it appears that nearly one third of research studies published in majot medical journals may have been flawed.
