This is an extraordinary compilation of the plants used by North American native people for medicine, food, fiber, dye, and a host other things. Anthropologist Daniel E. Moerman has devoted 25 years to task gathering together accumulated ethnobotanical knowledge on more than 4000 plants. More 44,000 uses these various tribes are documented here. undoubtedly most massive survey ever undertaken, preserving enormous store information future.
We provide a new perspective with which to understand what for half century has been known as the "placebo effect." argue that, currently used, concept includes much that nothing do placebos, confusing most interesting and important aspects of phenomenon. propose way those medical care, plus broad range additional human experiences, by focusing on idea "meaning," people, when they are sick, often respond. review several many areas in medicine meaning affects illness or healing introduce...
Control interventions (often called "sham," "placebo," or "attention controls") are essential for studying the efficacy mechanism of physical, psychological, and self-management in clinical trials. This article presents core recommendations designing, conducting, reporting control to establish a quality standard non-pharmacological intervention research. A framework additional considerations supports researchers' decision making this context. We also provide checklist enhance research...
Daniel Moerman presents an innovative and enlightening discussion of human reaction to the meaning medical treatment. Traditionally, effectiveness treatments is attributed specific elements, such as drugs or surgical procedures, but many things happen in medicine which simply cannot be accounted for this way. The same drug can work differently when presented different colours; with widely advertised names better than without name; inert (placebos, dummies) often have dramatic effects on...
A number of investigators are agreed that the popular medical systems tribal, peasant, and allied peoples "effective." Most literature closely examining effectiveness focuses on ethnopharmacological dimensions healing generally ignores psychosocial factors. Recent developments in psychophysiology may offer insights into these neglected areas. The specific idea to be examined here is successful "general treatment," or "symbolic healing," by either shaman physician, based part a mobilization...
An analysis of the control groups in double‐blind trials medicines demonstrates broad variation—from 0 to 100 percent—in placebo effectiveness rates for same treatment condition. In two cases considered here, drug healing covary with rates; is ultimate and inescapable "complementary medicine. " Several factors can account dramatic variation rates, including cultural ones. But because differs by illness, large effects one condition do not necessarily anticipate other conditions as well....
Abstract Aim To investigate the distribution of local flowering plant species richness in areas surrounding American universities. Methods Species university counties was compared with neighbouring counties. Data were derived from Synthesis North Flora ( http://www.phylosystems.com/prepublication ). Probabilities resultant calculated, and results also simulated. Results In almost every case there more reported county than its neighbours. Several possible explanations considered. We conclude...
In Native American Medicinal Plants, anthropologist Daniel E. Moerman describes the medicinal use of more than 2700 plants by 218 tribes. Information - adapted from same research used to create monumental Ethnobotany includes 82 categories uses, ranging analgesics, contraceptives, gastrointestinal aids, hypotensive medicines, sedatives, and toothache remedies. Plants extensive indexes arranged tribe, usage, common name, making it easy access wealth information in detailed catalog plants. It...
Abstract Background and aim Despite recent publications, practitioners remain unfamiliar with the current terminology related to placebo nocebo phenomena observed in clinical trials practice, nor factors that modulate them. To cover gap, European Headache Federation appointed a panel of experts clarify terms associated use trials. Methods The working group identified relevant questions agreed upon recommendations. Because no data were required answer questions, GRADE approach was not...
