Moonbat Medicine
Posted by Dave Blount at July 14, 2007 4:11 PM
Moonbats don't need Christianity because they have their own New Age religion, which consists of an amorphous stew of all things flaky. Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, sniffing incense, etc. heal not only the mind, but the body as well — and as for our souls, the enlightened will agree that there's no such thing.
The physical benefits of New Age moonbattery are well documented. Unfortunately, when Maria Ospina and Kenneth Bond of the University of Alberta/Capital Health Evidence-Based Practice Centre in Edmonton analyzed 813 studies of the impact of meditation (including yoga, Tai Chi, etc.) on health problems like high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and substance abuse, they found what a person with both feet planted on the ground might expect: the studies favoring meditation as medication are inconclusive due to poor methodologies and other problems.
According to Ospina:
Future research on meditation practices must be more rigorous in the design and execution of studies and in the analysis and reporting of results.
In other words, they should be done by objective scientists who aren't pushing an agenda. The same goes for climate change studies.
