Inadequate and Unsubstantiated Evidence
Posted on December 3, 2009 by Yael9 Comments
Earlier this year, an article was published by Boivin and Schmidt in the journal Human Reproduction.
The article presented a research, which concluded that CAM therapies might cause a decrease in pregnancies in women who were using CAM therapies during their IVF treatments. The article stated a decrease of 30%.
I was made aware of this misleading article by a colleague from Israel, Aviv Messinger, who along with Daniel Seidman wrote a response to the article. whic the journal chose to publish.
Here is the full comment.
