Cool stuff. I've taken some heat over the years at this website for holding opinions that are sometimes not backed by 'clinical research'. But the reason is exactly because of these kinds of stories....there is so much we don't know....I believe it is a mistake to 'compartmentalize' our thinking. In this case, who in their right minds would think a sleeping pill could possibly wake someone up from vegetation?. No, common thinking would say to try Ritalin or Adderall instead, right?

Anyway, cool. I think the same type of accidental discoveries can be made for all of us....if we just try stuff....sometimes stuff that doesn't make sense on paper. For the new psychiatric patient, no, but for those of us who have been battling for 10 or 20 years or a lifetime, yeah, it makes perfect sense to think outside the box, because the box has obviously not had the answers we thought it did.

It's nice to be able to explain things. In this case, how did Ambien work? Well, it would be nice to know. We don't. It doesn't matter. Whether we know or not has no impact on whether it actually works or not. Chinese medicine is an example. We Amercans tend not to use those things because we require a scientific understanding. Chinese take a different approach and stick with things that have worked predictably for 2000 years whether they can explain it or not doesn't matter.

Giving a pill of Ambien to everyone in the world who is in a coma is of near zero risk, so I say do it. If it works for only 1% of them, that's a lot of reborn people!
