Ok, so this is totally unscientific, but if I were to just think about all I've seen at patient drug rating sites, psychobabble, and people I know in my life, I think the statistics would break down to something similar to this:
Remission.....10%
Significant improvement....20%
Quit....70%So in other words, through my eyes only, about 1 in 10 people is going to have a robust enduring remissioin. 2 more people are going to quite improved. The other 7 did not have encouraging experiences for varying reasons.
The drugs do work. Just not at the rate the pharm companies and abstracts of trials would have us believe. Science is not an abstract....it is absolute, it is fact....but within the medical/pharm community science seems a bit perverted because what is being putting out as scientific fact is not fact at all. Not an outright lie either. Not accurate, for sure.
