   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 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 will 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.   
      
   In epidemiological research,  statistical methods are used to minimize the   
   effects of confounding variables.   This kind of research is still being   
   conducted in the new millennium.   
      
      
   The non-existent persons know as Jan Drew, carole, or any of their socks need   
   NOT reply. Brain dead zombies, like Oliver Crangle, should get a life. Science   
   Imbeciles should likewise give it up.   
      
   This post was developed using a kind of online Wikipedia development style   
   that allowed moi to explore my thoughts on the subject.
