- acdha 3y agoI would strongly suggest reading the previous link and the Science paper it leads with (https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adg7942 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adg7942). When a large number of medical professionals say there’s something real and there are peer reviewed publications in top journals discussing options for treatment, it is highly unlikely that some rando with no relevant expertise is correct in arbitrarily dismissing it.
