When one reads studies or anecdotal things of a medical nature one has to keep in mind that most ideas written about never make it commercially or practically.

The publish or perish attitude in academia sometimes drives the papers. But also, luck seems to be working on many.

One of those you quoted in your first post involved ONE patient.
This just does not fly for very long.

Things that work...for PNs here, like lipoic acid have scads of papers over a decade on them, and still doctors are just learning about it. And it works, but few are using it, still.
