   The Science of Natural Health   
      
   In the 20th century, the science of Natural Health was epidemiology.   
      
   In the 21st century, the science of Natural Health is environmental   
   epigenetics.   
      
   In regards to evaluating exercise and for other mind-body treatment methods,   
   Placebo-controlled trials and Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) are used to   
   determine effectiveness.   
      
   Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials can be used to test   
   nutritional supplements.  But, they are not all that essential,    
   lacebo-controlled trials and Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) will more than   
   do in most cases.   
      
   While science is immortal, people are not.  Therefore, as new information   
   comes in smart people have to learn to move on limited information generated   
   from less than perfect randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial   
   research.   
      
   Of course, epidemiological research is still being conducted in the new   
   millennium.   
      
   In all cases,  statistical methods are used to remove the effects of   
   confounding variables.   
      
   The non-existent person known as Jan Drew, carole, or any of their socks need   
   NOT reply.  Science Imbeciles should likewise give it up.
