Open University's Response to Dr. Sykes programme on reflexology

Thought this might be of interest. Answer back on the question of personal
journey

The phrase we used of the series is that:

"Professor Kathy Sykes sets off on a personal and scientific journey to
explore three popular, and fast-growing, alternative therapies:
meditation, hypnotherapy, and reflexology." So the answer is both. It
combines her personal opinions and experiences on all sorts of issues
with an examination of relevant scientific research, looked at in a
fair, accurate and objective way.

As for being "definitive", I don't think any of us would ever claim
that and few scientists would ever use that word when looking at
subjects like these for which there has often not been a tremendous
amount of high quality scientific research. On the other hand, do we
think the series presented the current state of scientific knowledge on
the subjects covered fairly and accurately? Of course
