Yeah, but the challenge is filtering those personal experiments through traps like "regression to the mean" and the placebo effect. And then generalizing them enough to recommend them to other people. I have no objection to personal experimentation, but the guy I responded to said he knew a cure for Crohn's that "the man" wouldn't let him talk about. That's a pretty dicey claim.
