To Relief th= e Allergic Rhinitis without Medication!" (our reference Manuscript no. CMAJ= -09-1223), which you submitted recently to the Journal. Your manuscript has now been considered by the scientific editors at the CM= AJ. We have decided to decline the paper for publication. Your personal exp= eriment greatly intrigued the editors who carefully considered your paper. = However, to qualify for publication this new technique would have to be sub= jected to a proper controlled clinical trial. Perhaps Dr. Yip would be prep= ared to help you conduct one, possibly with the help of an epidemiologist s= killed in randomised trial design. When deciding upon the acceptability of a manuscript for publication in CMA= J, the editors also consider other factors such as its suitability for our = readers, its application to medical practice and other manuscripts recently= accepted or published. We thank you for giving CMAJ the opportunity to consider your manuscript. I= hope that we will be able to give you a more favourable response on a futu= re submission. Sincerely, Ken Flegel MDCM MSc Senior Associate Editor, CMAJ Professor of Medicine, McGill University CMAJ =E2=80=93 medical knowledge that matters CMAJ showcases innovative research and ideas aimed at improving health for = people in Canada and globally.
