Evidence based Practise.....
WHATS ALL this JAZZ ABOUT!!!!!!

Sometimes i feel we do need it and at times when i read the researches that have been published, i think what RUBBISH!!!!

I share your frustration.

However, to be fair, i would like to know if a treatment worked for a condition - even if we don't know WHY it works. I don't think we need to understand why something works to be able to prove that that something works. They are 2 different things.

e.g. willowbark (where asprin comes from) was thought to "cool" the inflammation "heat" but it is an anti-inflammatory for a different reason. Still works the same.

So we can whinge about it or we can contribute to GOOD research. I hope someday to contribute - it's too easy to whinge!
