@mehelevetyone I realize the study wasn’t an experiment in and of itself. The data they looked at though represented what essentially were experiments on real patients. It is a distinction without a difference so I see you’re more concerned with nitpicky details like this because you don’t have an actual response to my points.
Also where did I claim anecdote was a good way to conduct medical research? I did not. Anecdotal evidence is a completely valid source to find ideas that might be worth trying and testing with actual research.
- meheleventyone 6y agoRight but until this actual research surfaces I wouldn't be too concerned about the anecdote particularly when the data from actual research shows two out of three parts of the suggested treatment to be actively harmful. I don't need any answer your points because you've not given any evidence to suggest they should be taken seriously versus the evidence that two-thirds of the treatment you suggest is still quite harmful.
