Abstract

The techniques of evidence-based medicine (EBM) are being frequently used recently. The generally accepted theory is that if a medicine is not absorbed by the body, it will have no effect. However, the author has noticed that even when substances, including medicines, are not absorbed by the body, they can have a marked effect. In some cases, just bringing the substance close to the body can have an effect; in such cases, the efficacy of EBM for estimating the therapeutic value of medicines may be debatable. Therefore, a more accurate evaluation method should be devised. The author proposes that another group be introduced into trials. This group would include subjects who were exposed to but did not have an opportunity to absorb the medicine being tested.

Highlights

  • The techniques of evidence-based medicine (EBM) are being frequently used recently for evaluating the efficacy of medical technology and medicines [1]-[3]

  • This study reveals that even when substances, including medicines, do not enter the body, they can have a marked effect on joint mobility

  • The author believes that the mechanism which is causing the indirect effects on the subject is something like electromagnetic waves

Summary

Introduction

The techniques of evidence-based medicine (EBM) are being frequently used recently for evaluating the efficacy of medical technology and medicines [1]-[3]. The quality of the evaluation can range from meta-analysis and systematic reviews of double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials at the top end to conventional wisdom at the bottom (Table 1). The top three forms of evidence are as follows: 1) obtained from at least one properly designed randomized controlled trial; 2) obtained from well-designed controlled trials without randomization; and 3) obtained from well-designed cohort or case-control analytic studies, preferably from more than one center or. Systematic review (with homogeneity) of RCTs. Individual RCT (with narrow confidence intervals). Systematic review (with homogeneity) of cohort studies. Individual cohort study (including low quality RCT, e.g.,
