Editor’s Selections: The Gonzalez protocol: worse than useless
September 16th, 2009 Editor's Selections No Comments
Travis Saunders selects several notable posts each week from Health and Clinical Research. He blogs at Obesity Panacea.
This has been a phenomenal week for Health and Clinical Research posts here on Researchblogging.org. Here are my favourites, and feel free to post your own in the comments below.
- Orac of Respectful Insolence writes a fantastic post on a new trial which suggests that the Gonzalez protocol (an “alternative” medical treatment for pancreatic cancer) is actually worse than placebo. A terrific dissection of an important finding which has received surprisingly little attention.
- adiemusfree of Healthskills examines the “myth” of core stability in two separate posts (link 1 & link 2).
- Northern Doctor discusses the results and societal implications an interesting study on heroin-assisted treatment for drug addicts.
- Laika’s MedLibBlog has the definitive (and dare I say encyclopedic?) post on why Wikipedia is not a reliable source of health information.
