"More than 177,000 have hearing loss, and more than 350,000 report tinnitus." And hese are only the people who have sought care so far, there are probably thousands more adding to this as they return home in months.

God is not the author of sickness and disease. The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. Also, it is through sin, or ignorance, that we can hurt ourselves. But God can take that which is evil and bring good out of it. It takes leaning on His everlasting arms for that change to take place. Don't get caught up in today's rush to ridicule and make light of Christ. It is very "in" today to point and laugh at those who believe in Him. Secularism is the big wave that is sweeping America. But, it's influence is taking an enormous toll.

That means areas should as TRT should be starved of research funding - either directly or indirectly. They have had millions already. eg TRTer's can fund themselves if they so wish -- from their own profits.

Posts: 522 06/27/12 4:37 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Along with directing funding to promising areas of research, research needs to be properly scrutinised, no longer can so called 'therapies' be given an easy ride. In the words of Drummond Rennie: There seems to be no study too fragmented, no hypothesis too trivial, no literature too biased or too egotistical, no design too warped, no methodology too bungled, no presentation of results too inaccurate, too obscure, and too contradictory, no analysis too self-serving, no argument too circular, no conclusions too trifling or too unjustified, and no grammar and syntax too offensive for a paper to end up in print. Drummond Rennie, MD and JAMA editor
