As a skeptic, you demand good evidence before you accept claims. You possess tools that help you do this. However, some assertions rely on data and methods that use sophisticated and specialized knowledge. Health and medical issues, which will be the topic of Toolbox 2006, are an example.

You probably lack expertise in medicine, pharmacology, neuroscience, genetics, new medical technologies, statistics, various research designs, and other arcane information upon which health and medical claims depend. Certainly, you have not mastered all these topics. We believe that you need not be intimidated when confronted with such claims. Yes, the issues can be complex and obscure. Even the experts can go astray. Given certain principles and diligence, you can compensate for your lack of specialized expertise.

We will provide you with the tools to cope with even the most difficult claims. This combination of tools and diligence will make you a healthy skeptic.
