But I did turn to the person whose reasoned explanations convinced me there is no connection and he has. Here is Steven Novella's response: http://www.theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php?p=203 Steven Novella is the president of the New England Skeptical Society and a neurologist at Yale University. I'm not sure that makes him uniquely qualified on this subject, but he has written about it extensively and seems to know what he's talking about. I hope his explanation helps. -Ryan Hi Mike,

Steven Novella is the president of the New England Skeptical Society and a neurologist at Yale University. I’m not sure that makes him uniquely qualified on this subject, but he has written about it extensively and seems to know what he’s talking about. I hope his explanation helps.

Any thoughts on the merits of the case? Just curious what someone more knowledgeable than I am thinks about it all... :-) I wonder what you and Debi make of a case in Georgia, reported in the Atlanta newspaper:
