It's absolutely immaterial "how many", what is most important is
that
there is no bias and that the researchers understand the spectrum
of
meditation practice, not merely a single, isolated brand or
technique
they are (in violation of a *true* null hypothesis) trying to
forward. Suffice to say I am able to access a huge number of
studies
most people would never see unless they were privy to specialized
journals, so therefore I read a lot more than your average person,
on
a monthly basis.
I'm intrigued about these specialized journals that are apparently
only available to a select few people!
Are these journals actually *secret*?? If not, I'd be interested in
being pointed to two or three of them. If so, I think we can
disregard any claim they might make to scientific credibility.
Medical journals are not secret, but often to subscribe you need
appropriate licensure or board certification to subscribe.
