20-50% success rate seems worth a try. Or not?

  It’s worth a try, but pretty disappointing to be getting an injection every week for a year and not have anything to show for it.

    I think in most cases the frequency drops to monthly after the first few weeks. Not trivial, but not terrible either.

    Most treatments, as far as I’m aware, take multiple years for maximum effect. The shots themselves as fairly painless if you have a good practitioner. My son’s shots take about 20 minutes from entering to clinic to exit; 5 minutes of waiting to receive the shot and 15 minutes to ensure there’s no adverse reaction.

  It's not a 20-50% success rate, this isn't a 2 week antibiotic course. Frew (2006) is one of the larger trials, two treatments, one group worked up to dosage of 10k, the other 100k. Higher dosage group had better measures of improvement across the board (excluding lung symptoms oddly), table III. https://sci-hub.se/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16461133/ https://sci-hub.se/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16461133/ There's also the Cochrane review https://sci-hub.se/https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD001936.pub2/full https://sci-hub.se/https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/...
