3 out of 10 by this one doctor. 9 out of 10 by 2 other doctors. So in reality the actual data is probably somewhere in the middle of those numbers.
But a serious question in your treatment is this:
WHY do you not want to believe it? That is not a scientific approach. When you automatically form preconceived personal notions in advance, and then discard actual information that discredits your own preconceived notions, that is the opposite of good science.
Science is supposed to be non-biased, non-slanted, objective as possible.
Do you think resistance of information could have anything to do with treatment resistance?

This is a huge number, and consistent with what you have reported. Still, I don't believe it. Dr. Bransfield directed me to the following article written in 2002:
