TL;DR: It doesn't work.
Now is anyone surprised by this?
Did anyone not expect this?
Well you should have. Because it had bullshit written all over it from the start.
- amirmc 12y agoThat is not an accurate TL;DR. The DIY crowd report highly subjective improvements but the scientists are still in the early days of research (with one even ripping to shreds his own work when he discovered fundamental flaws). Some scientists are worried that the DIYers might push this into 'kook' territory and thus give a negative impression to the real research, which many believe has promise.
- id10t 12y agoBloodletters reported high subjective improvements back when it was the fancy new magic treatment.
- Jach 12y agoAnd yet, after modern medicine took over, researchers found there are cases when bloodletting is the appropriate treatment. (http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/hemochromatosis/training/treatment/phlebotomy_treatment.html http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/hemochromatosis/training/treatment...)

"There have been therapeutic effects shown in clinical trials involving Parkinson's disease,[18] tinnitus, amblyopia, fibromyalgia, and post-stroke motor deficits" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcranial_direct-current_stimulation#Clinical http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcranial_direct-current_sti...
- id10t 12y agoMaybe you SHOULD read the article. The effects where minor and the studies have severe problems. Also, Transcranial DC stim is something totally different.
