Edzard Ernst
  • Randomization is not a four-letter word
  • Observational data is the base or foundation of
    the evidence pyramids currently accepted
  • Evidence Based Medicine is not a threat but an
    opportunity for TMB
  • While systematic reviews are important, we must
    remember, rubbish inrubbish out.

Trish Dryden
  • The profession of TMB is at an exciting place,
    just like a balloon whose fabric is laying flat
    on the ground before being inflated with hot
    air.
  • While we are gearing up for our balloon ride,
    many other professions already have their crafts
    airborne and have begun to ascend to great
    heights.
  • We absolutely MUST train students of TMB to have
    inquiring mindsbecause they are the next
    generation of researchers for the profession

5
Lesley Korn
  • What happens to old bodyworkers?
  • They become researchers.

Richard Nahin
  • There has been input in 4 of the 5 phases of the
    NCCAM 2005-2008 Strategic Plan from the TMB
    community
  • There is progress in the development of a
    granting program to assist practitioners in their
    CAM research training in non-terminal degree
    programs

7
Albert Einstein
  • If we really knew what we were doing, it wouldnt
    be called research.

8
Yogi Berra
  • You can observe a lot by just watching.

Martha Brown Menard
  • The plural of anecdote is data

10
Marc White
  • Hotel rooms now are equipped with devices to read
    and detect genetic patterning

11
Christopher Quinn
  • It is important to carefully describe the
    protocols used in our studies
  • For example In his study being conducted in
    Boulder on depression and anxiety in adults,
    bartenders were given one hour of training on
    listening skills.

12
James Oschman
  • Dont be afraid to make your hypotheses. If
    youre lucky enough, someone might even get mad
    enough to test it.
  • The cell is not a bag
  • Dont take your car to a quantum mechanic!
