control experimentone made under standard conditions, to test the correctness of other observations.
controlled experimentone in which an exact replica of the animals experimented on are kept without any treatment in order to show what changes occurred in normal animals, reinforcing the view that the observed changes in the experimental animals were in fact the result of the treatment administered.
factorial experimentone set up in such a way that all levels of each intervention or treatment occur with each level of response.
field experimentone carried out in normal circumstances and environment, e.g. on the farm or in the cattery rather than in an experimental institution where many of the factors affecting the occurrence or severity of a disease may not operate.
laboratory experimentcarried out in a laboratory where conditions can be almost completely controlled.
latin square experimenta method of laying out a field experiment in such a way as to avoid bias by physical location.
prospective experimentthose carried out to see what happens if certain influences are applied to an animal or a group of animals. Retrospective experiments are those which set out to explain events that have already been observed.

Patient discussion about Experimental science.
Q. Re: They are treating him like an experiment I have to disagree with Lixuri on this topic. Holistic healing can work wonders and I also am a spiritual person, However with an illness such as bipolar disorder it is very dangerous to make statements such as a spouces love and presance can or will heal anothers emotional state. All of the love and affection in the world would not have made any difference at all with my partners illness. I am a very loving, patient and doting partner and all of my love and all of my presance could not stabilize her mood in any way. Encouraging people to take a holistic route with bipolar disorder can have devistating effects. I would say to combine the two, conventional medication and holistic health. Eating fresh foods free of chemicals etc, drinking water, becoming one with your inner self, aligning your shakras, meditation etc are all really good ways to stay healthy and active and moving and clensing but they are no substitute when dealing with the real illness this is...
A. I am so glad that the methods you have chosen are working for you, and I agree that those methods are helpful. Not only for people suffering from bipolar disorder but for humanity as a whole. We all hold on to our pasts and clensing is vital in maintaining a healthy happy life. In all respects. I do respect what you have done for yourself. You have to buy into that lifestyle in order to make it work for you. you seem to believe in reincarnation and karma enough to find the strength to stop yourself from hurting yourself and others. I guess my fear would be that if someone did not have that strong belief it would not be enough. Thank you for your insites, I would actually enjoy talking to you more about your methods and beliefs. Thank you also for your contributions
Q. Could anyone with similar experiences help me out with a remedy? My teeth bleeds every morning when I brush. I have changed my toothpaste to good quality 10 days before, yet the bleeding continues but I never had pain, so I didn’t visit dentist. But this bleeding does not seem to stop and keeps me depressed and confused. Could anyone with similar experiences help me out with a remedy?
A. You may have gum disease and may need your teeth cleaned. A dentist can advise on this.
There are various toothpastes that contain baking soda and peroxide which can help.
A home cure recommended by a periodontist is to mix a little baking soda and hydrogen peroxide solution in a small cup and use one of those rubber tipped tooth gum massagers between all your teeth on both the tongue side and cheek side. This stimulates the gum tissue and kills bacteria in the pockets. You can brush with this too. It works. Of course flossing every day is essential.
Q. Has anyone have any experience with this? I’m 15 years old male and having acid reflux. I have tried lot of meds but nothing is effective and I did not get any remedy. I came across something which says Chinese herbalists can help or even cure it. Has anyone have any experience with this? If you think it is a good idea? Please answer and I will be really grateful!
A. hey, waylon. if you want to try chinese medicine, go for it, as long as you understand clearly how does that medication treat you.
in acid reflux condition, some notes you need to remember are:
- you need to eat regularly
- you need to reduce your stress
- avoid some foods like: acid foods, coffee, spicy foods
and maybe you can try -if you want- consume daily yogurt with apple cider vinegar. apple cider vinegar is believed to be able to help gastric problem.
