This is my own extrapolation of the test.
What helped ALL was to tell a professional matters that each considered important, without any prompting.
Just like I am doing right here, right now.
By writing these words, if my logic serves me,
I am improving my memory.
Of course, you give me the “professional” aspect and, since I learned this early in life, and still remember:
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

By the way, the drug is still sold in the US, how do I know? One of my sisters is taking it daily. Yes, I told her the study but she “trusts” her doctor and I have no credentials in medicine, none whatsoever.
That is why I never identified the drug.
But, I hope you can devise a way to verify new drugs do no harm and not depend on the mortality rate and compensation amounts to decide, which is after the fact.
Of course, you must stop the Government accepting the test results of the drug company with no independent Government tests -a practice initiated during the Bush Administration.

How do you reconcile these with the fact that drugs had to be taken OFF the market because they killed patients. If you cannot figure that out, my words make no difference.

The following is specific, but could be generic.

It is a fact that nobody knows how the brain works.
It is a fact the Principles that would define illness or healing methods do not exist.

Most medical treatments related to the mind are along this:
“This drug has worked for others, I believe you should try it and I will be watching you very carefully, to see if it works!”

Of course, that is the same technique Herbal Medicine Doctors, called Shaman or Curanderos, used for many centuries but, they only used herbs and other natural products. Did some patients die? Must probably, but this is as far as Medical “Science” has progressed. Of course, you are shocked anyone with college degrees would claim that is the truth, that is true.

Don’t ask a Doctor what scientific Principles he or she follows most often. Some, will quote a Rule from a textbook because some don’t even know What is a Principle?
Tell them Newton’s Laws of Motion can be used to derive the trajectory of a baseball or a rocket. Could that be a Principle? But, can they name a Medical Principle?
Of course, they can tell that if A and B and C are true, take an Aspirin before going to bed and comeback next week.
That is not the application of principles, that is written in Medical Books and Doctors remember that.
The Mayo Clinic put all these Symptoms and Treatments in a computer and after many used both they concluded that the computer was better than the doctor at making the correct prescription. Does that prove anything?

Finally, and this one is personal, a few of my relatives were given “antipsychotic medicines” and three of them are now living a vegetating life. They lost the ability to respond to speech. By the way, none sued their doctors. In one case, the doctor was her brother.

But, the task of convincing doctors that they do not, at all, understand how the brain work is comparable to trying to convince a strong religious believer, to change religions.

One doctor, on PBS TV, was selling a book and at the beginning he said “Now, we can see what the Brain is doing using MRI real time images, we can actually see how the brain responds, while it is responding.”
The doctor never mentioned that the colored images of the brain were computer generated and displayed in colors chosen by the computer to highlight activity. What activity, they had and have no clue.
The “Immune System” is in the brain and drugs are sold to strengthen the Immune System but, how does it work?
One could ask, which connections, or synapses, are involved in healing and, if honest, they will say “I don’t know” and maybe add “but we are learning more every day!”
How can they strengthen or heal something they do not know how it works?
Most doctors, I have yet to meet the exception, do not know Canadian MRI studies that concluded that all the brain must be identical for its functions are relocated overnight, while the patient was asleep.
If the function of a synapses can change, maybe a function that fails can be transfer to another, you think?
Guess what? Jessica lost one third of her brain but, she said to Mike Wallace in TV, that she had to “learn how to think”, yes, I know, wish I could have asked a few more questions like “What do you mean?”

Can we bank on trust

as a rebuttal of sorts.
