From the respectfulinsolencecom article:
" '... Interventions targeting specific biological mechanisms are then prioritized and prescribed to optimize key biological mechanisms. Medication doses are specified to an individual’s needs. Individuals are re-tested periodically and the protocol is updated as necessary.'
What the hell does this even mean?"
With that type of attitude it will be hard to accept anything novel regardless of it's merits.
- jcranmer 8y agoQuite the contrary. The interior quote contains no information. The description provides no way to distinguish the results from a protocol of "we're making this shit up as we go along." For a field that is rife with quackery, any serious scientific study should be going to pains to distinguish it from quackery.

That blurb sounds impressive and "oh, I'm really being taken care of!" to a layman, but to someone with actual domain expertise it sounds like "I'll create a GUI interface in Visual Basic to track an IP address". Key questions to consider: What, exactly, is being tested? How? How do the results affect medication dosage? Which medications? How does this differ from existing medical practice where doctors routinely adjust dosages to balance efficacy and unwanted side effects?
