Guest guest Posted March 16, 2000 Report Share Posted March 16, 2000 same edition, different article (it admits medical science does not follow its apply 'rules of skepticism' to itself!)---so, the ot calls the kettle 'black': A recently published analysis of the therapies used in obstetrics lists a total of 276 practices, of which only 91 are deemed to have been shown to " reduce negative outcomes of pregnancy and childbirth " . A further 37 " 'appear promising, but require further evaluation " , 88 " have unknown effects, which require further evaluation " and 60 " should be abandoned in the light of the available evidence " . I see no reason to believe that obstetrics is significantly less scientific than medicine in general, so this suggests we have evidence of efficacy for only about a third of the forms of health care we adopt. So if we are to advise the public to shun charlatans, there is a lot in our own house which we must first put in order From: rob_davis@... Hi List, On page 12 of " The Cure for All Diseases " Dr. writes: > ...a good scientist... doesn't rule something out > until it is disproven to their satisfaction. It's HealthWatch (Summer edition, 1992) that refutes this false expectation: " The onus of providing evidence of efficacy is on those who promote a treatment and not, as is sometimes stated, on the scientific community in general.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Jeanne Where and when can I get a copy of the bill/law.

This is excellent news for the disability community, and on behalf of the New Jersey Special Education Practioners (NJSEP), I thank you for enduring all my e-mails and for your support. It could not have happened without you! And now the bad news. The Education Funding Reform bill passed both the Senate and Assembly, though the vote was very close. This is a huge disappointment to the disability community, but we are not giving up! The New Jersey Coalition on Special Education Funding Reform is contemplating next steps and we will keep you posted. Again, on behalf of NJSEP and the Funding Coalition, I thank you for your past support and I hope you will endure a few more e-mails and continue to support the critical effort to obtain a fair funding formula for special education.
