Default backwards clinical trial

This is regarding Dr. Jannetta and the amazing results seen in his parkie patient after he alleviated the pressure from a blood vessel on her peduncle.

Rather than do brain surgery on more PWP to see if they, too, experience the same impressive results, why not just get a lab rat or primate with no penducle compression, go in and compress their penduncle, and see if they get PD symptoms?

Why not? Cheaper and way less risky than brain surgery on a human.

Default true, but...

I think there is more to it than that...if he were to go back to animal models, it would set us back light years in the eyes of the FDA people. Plus, I am fairly sure he had patients scanned by MRI and out of 20 pwp, 78% had the compression.

The Doctor, I think, is trying to say and prove he has a major discovery on his hands. Again, unfortunately, I think this surgery will only work with some of us The good side is that highlights that this will embarrass the American Academy of Neurology to acknowledge that is ethically questionable to continue without testing for us anything; we're gaining too much knowledge and eventually they will need to change their ways.

So by going right to even more random pwp and testing "in the wild" and placebo he is way ahead of the pack. Or so it seems to me....
