>dosages eg. 4-8 grams. Why don't some of us start our own semi-controlled study. We can begin taking a certain amount and report every 2-3 days. I know it is not scientific, but I don't think pharmaceutical companys are going to do it. Could you imagine the millions in revenue lost if this worked.
Hi deli,
I applaud your idea, but there is no way for this to be scientific so why do it? First of all, there is no way for the study to be controlled or even "semi-controlled". What, are we going to buy our own placebos? -- we just won't tell ourselves which we're taking :) We also should be evaluated by a blind doctor, not by ourselves. And we need all of the results to be interpreted by people who know lots about math among other things. There are probably lots of other things that are necessary that those people who know lots about math and other stuff could tell us as well :)
> P.S Getting off the subject, I agree in the suspension of the neurology guy. There is no need for foul language. But in my humble opinion he has made more sense than many retarded doctors I've known.
This discussion doesn't belong here but I'll bite... Dr. Bob has decided not to allow "foul" language and so we should follow his rules. And I have to say, when you just said "retarded doctors", I consider that just as offensive as when LostBoyinNC1 said "bullsh*t doctors" -- which is to say I wasn't necessarily offended by either, but if "bullsh*t" is bad, what you said is every bit as offensive.
