Just an aside, I know that modified snake venom has made a great antitoxin for snake bit victims for awhile. Judging from Google, there’s a lot of research into venom for other applications such as fighting cancer and heart disease.
Ok, don’t do anything that has ever come out of one of those studies. For examples, stop taking shots, don’t visit a doctor if one of your orifices is bleeding for no reason, don’t give a crap when your kidneys are infected, and speaking of crap, don’t do a damn thing when you haven’t had a bowel movement in over 2 months. Proceed to die. There, the studies work.
However, the conclusions you hear from the media are processed conclusions, like most food these days. It’s bad for you. 
Stupid people.
Stupid doctors.
Again, please, blame the doctors and their patients, not the studies. Not the science.
Come to think of it, that’s an excellent way to keep yourself healthy. It’s really too bad doctors don’t see it that way.
And then you could have a study to see whether studies of studies are legitimate. And then you could have a study to see whether studies of studies of studies are legitimate. And then…
This is a standard part of the scientific method, and includes followup studies to test previous results (replication is critical to accepting a finding) and meta-analysis to look at multiple sets of data.
The whole point of clinical studies is to separate out genuine beneficial effects of treatment from healing which would take place in any case without treatment.
Quack remedies sell in part because users “know” from their own experience that they are being helped, when the condition for which they are treating themselves resolved on its own either temporarily or permanently.
If it works for you, nifty. The late lamented Wildest Bill used to say this regarding all the weird supplements he poured into his system.
Personally, I feel a lot better dealing with science as opposed to personal testimonials.
A bit more on naturopathy for you.
“(I) keep the air in my room clean at night with purifier”.
Air “purifiers”, including the heavily hyped Ionic Breeze Quadra, have been found in consumer testing to be ineffective.
Dunno if they checked on placebo effect, though.
… who will study the studiers?
If you have even a rudimentary knowledge of statistics you can usually work out whether a study is legitimate or not. That’s what Confidence Intervals and P values are for.
Cochrane Reviews are usually a good source of information too, as they’ll identify the flaws in the studies for you, and usually integrate the data to give a nice simple answer.
There was one UK study on Oral Contraceptives that followed 46,000 women for over 20 years… before deciding that it was a safe medication based on the fact that the group who had used the pill had exactly the same mortality as the group who had never used the pill…is that long enough for you?
I did a google search on this when my DIL announced it one day. It had to be true because her father said so and he’s a doctor. As an idea, it seems to have been around since roman times. It’s been disproven by at least one study. Drinking milk when you have a cold leaves a temporary sensation that the mucus already in your throat has thickened. It passes. You will not create any more mucus that someone else with a cold who has not had milk.
Not that I expect the idea to die out any time soon.
I dunno. Coast Guard?
