[QUOTE="alienskin, post: 2149807, member: 508073"] Not odd at all. Anecdote is not data - as scientists understand it. But it can be an important first step to gathering rigourous data. I'll dismiss it if it's all you've got, and you are saying that "it means treatment X is better". On the other hand, if you say, "it's all I've got, and it looks promising but frankly I have no idea yet. I believe further research will give us a better picture" then cool, we're in agreement. Yes, and that looks promising too because it's not based on anecdote alone. But [URL='https://www.virtahealth.com/thevirtatreatment']costing $249/month[/URL] for statistically similar results after 1 year. I'd be happier recommending the free Taylor protocol than one costing $3000/year (and if you were prepared to pay an extra $3000 a year for personalized care combined with Taylor's approach then it may be superior). When studies carried out by a company that profits from the success of said study, there is always a possible conflict of interest. [/QUOTE]
