Why spend all that money on a chelation when Kinoki foot pads are available? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exmEGrNqgcA Only $19.99!! They too have an independent study proving they work! lol john best. chelation. Why spend all that money on a chelation when Kinoki foot pads are available?

Nope, just solid information that helps kids. Too bad you and your mentally challenged associates can’t say the same." Well, ranting is I suppose a matter of opinion, but using phrases like simpleton and mentally challenged seems to show, if not hate, then perhaps an anger control problem. As a matter of fact, if the discussion here upsets you, why are you here? @JohnBest:

The group mean is a noisy measure of each individual's exposure. Attenuation bias from measurement error can lead to downward-biased coefficients. If immunizations are almost universal this result is not a problem, but I have to believe there was 7 used in the current analysis. To the extent the trends show up largely among certain groups (e.g., boys), it suggests either mercury interacting with something (genetic or environmental) or that an omitted variable affects some groups more than others. Both results are interesting and important. The latter, of course, casts doubt on the authors' interpretation.

I'm trying to write Part 4 of my critique of this paper, but it's so bad that I keep wondering whether it's worth it. It's like writing a serious essay on the movie Caddyshack II.
