Being in empirical research myself, I'm well aware of the obstacles that new insights in science sometimes have to face.
It's rare though that the breakthrough comes via an obscure secret clinic in Mexico though which is only spread via "I'll email you".
- Nomentatus 4y agoBut it is not at all rare that such fly-by-night clinics grab someone's obscure result at third hand, rather randomly. They're a crap source of information, but not a disconfirmation. Where there's an ick factor, or a safety factor, as with infecting oneself with worms to reduce allergies, the effect is perfectly real. The Mexican clinics are either are either ahead of their time or unsafe; ya just don't know which.
- sooyoo 4y agoYes, and it's closer to a 1:99 ratio than 50:50, making it pretty irresponsible to promote any if them here.
- Nomentatus 4y agoI have a medical condition (highly comorbid with MS) for which I've tried, probably 1,000 or more approaches over decades. About ten of them worked (better together.) Three or four were key. Would recommend. Some of the things that worked best would have sounded too ridiculous for any Mexican clinic to try to sell to anybody. In my position, I think you would have been glad for any new (and safe-ish) ideas to try out, too. I just wasn't interested in paying the fly-by-night clinics, I don't advise that. Openness (not of the wallet but the mind) worked very well for me. Just really, really slowly. So I'm more of the "don't sit still" and "bring out the ideas," sort. 1/99 odds sounds damn good next to what I went through. So I don't mind people posting ideas here, it's an adult forum. Ish.
