| Very interesting book suggestion/review by our friend Skeptvet. With all of this debate over the interpretations of Scientific Studies here's a handy little guide on how to go about doing so properly. How to Read a Scientific Study: The Pocket Guide to Critical Appraisal Posted on January 4, 2012 by skeptvet I just wanted to give a brief nod to a great, little book I read recently, The Pocket Guide to Critical Appraisal by Iain Crombie. In a grand total of about 60 pages, the book gives a concise explanation of how to read and evaluate the quality of a published scientific paper. As I’ve pointed out before, just because an idea or a study is published in a journal doesn’t mean the idea is correct of the study meaningful. The problem of Tooth Fairy Science, the creation of journals just for the purpose of promoting specific products or medical methods, the influence of funding bias, and many other factors external to a scientific paper influence whether the results and conclusions offered are reliable. But there are also many factors to consider within the paper itself when trying to decide if the information presented is reliable or useful, and it is this internal assessment the Pocket Guide to Critical Appraisal is intended to assist. After a brief introduction to the general issues involved in assessing scientific studies of various kinds, the book presents step-by-step checklists for the major types of study, including surveys, cohort studies, case-control studies, and clinical trials. Despite the impression created by the media, and often proponents of dubious medical interventions, that anything published in a journal can be trusted to mean what the authors say it means, the reality is that all scientific evidence should be carefully an cautiously scrutinized before we rely on it to inform how we treat our patients, our pets, or ourselves. Otherwise, there is a great risk that we will waste resources on useless or even harmful treatments or avoid truly beneficial ones on the basis of poor evidence. This book makes such scrutiny relatively straightforward even for the non-specialist. How to Read a Scientific Study: The Pocket Guide to Critical Appraisal | The SkeptVet

| She is trying to find a way to validate a test that has no science behind it that's her point.

\I think everyone here knows or should know that just because there is no as of *yet* evidence to back a certain treatment plan and or a test that mAY show fruitful promise does not necessarily mean one should not go ahead. You just go ahead with your eyes wide open. I am very cautious of homeopathy and naturopathy - I do know that in some countries and cultures this literally has been going on for thousands upon thousands of years. And there is a dense albeit usual verbal and sometimes written clinical history of the success of such treatment protocols. In fact the oldest known medical book is called the Yellow Emperors Classic Guide.... I along with others feel that this test is certainly in its infancy - and you will have to weigh the pros n cons of following what-ever the results are. But I do urge you to consult with a vet nutrionist if you are doing dietary changes as a result of this test - to insure you have a balance meal....
