myopes............" That is wrong. Just say: "I should have been more
careful how I chose my words. Or admit you are wrong. It has to be
one or the other.
the scientific method gets in the way of Bates rhetoric. It's simple
to find lack of credibilty in The Method when parts of it are known to
be false, invalid, or detrimental.
to come up with any credible evidence that there is validity to The
Method. Nothing. If you want to discuss Bates in a sci.med heirarchy
of UseNet newsgroups, then you've got to come up with some science.
Otherwise, the proper place to promote Bates is in an alt. newsgroup
or perhaps misc.health.alternative. Not here.
new crop of Bates zealots shows up here for a while, usually just
after the pin-hole glasses people leave. This current crop is taking
longerthan usual to go away.
study to try to prove your point. It doesn't matter whether YOU think
it works or even if a whole cult of users thinks it works. You've got
to able to show cause and effect relationship. It is helpful to
understand the physiology that makes the connection, but sometimes it
is OK to present data that shows the cause and effect without knowing
exactly why and how. You can work on that later. Then you've got to
show it is both safe and effective, or at least exactly HOW effective.
You've got to be able to prove The Method is a safe and effective
treatment for what it is promoted to achieve.
still OK to believe the moon is made of cheese and the earth is flat?
I heard it's just those warped polycarbonate windows on the all
spacecraft that make the earth appear to a globe. Of course the moon
isn't made of cheese! No one believed that one. Did they?
