. . This month's eNewsletter from eSkeptic discussed EMDR or "Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing." http://www.skeptic.com/eskeptic/14-05-21/ . The main gist of the article was about how easy it is for some treatments to become mainstream even before they are adequately verified through independent and credible researchers. This is especially true for Alternative Medicine where victims are desperately in search of remedies and are willing to try almost anything.
. . The best safety in such cases is to look for support from fundamental scientific principles. Extreme caution is advised when claims seem to defy good sense, are revolutionary, or tend to be of an occult or magical nature. Today, good science is rarely revolutionary.
. . This article is a good example of how some practitioners stay ahead of competent review by constantly changing the baseline for analysis, make exorbitant wide claims that demand extensive time to confirm, or demand unusual levels of "training."
