I apologize if what I shared sounded like a "scare quote". I was just responding to the question about whether this will be an available diagnosable drug anytime soon. It is really unlikely and there are some basic intuitive reasons why without going deep into any research.
Also, I didn't say I was unaware of anything in this field recently. I was replying to the specific individuals' research I mentioned earlier. I've seen plenty meta analyses and case studies but you need way more for this to be a viable medical prescription.
Finally, none of what I said is a statement on my opinion about whether this should be adopted or pursued more aggressively in medicine. You'd have a hard time finding anyone that wouldn't agree that prevention would be cheaper in the long run but that's not what you need to prove to a hospital system and the FDA. You need to have multiple phases of clinical trials and then convince a medical system that addition dedicated clinics are worth setting up for this.
- haswell 3y agoI guess I just couldn't understand the position you were taking when framing this as a "lot of work". It sounded like you were dismissing it casually, and if that was a misread, I appreciate the clarification. There's a certain common form of hostility that often emerges from some circles when this subject comes up, and I may have read into something that's not there. Yes, this needs trials. Yes, that's what's in progress right now. And the results so far are worthy of attention.
