From your article:

"The research article is a very poorly reported trial that provides limited evidence

Even the article didn't conclude what you say it does.

And your gibe about generating business for hospitals is so off the wall and so insulting, not only to medical care workers, but to the people who read the comment, that you should be ashamed.

Sorry but it does prove that TTO is effective in 41% of cases. That is a FAR cry over many other treatments. There also is alot of other data out there. This study was the first I am aware of.

I have an engineering back round. When engineers are presented with new data they act on it. The very fact that mainstream medicine has FAILED to even seriously study TTO is what they should be ashamed of. IF somebody walked into my hospital and offered me a 41% cure for a disease that is rapidly becoming "incurable" I would investigate it IMMEDIATELY!

Suppose you could reduce plane or car crashes by 41%. The Gvmnt and the public would crucify you if you didn't do it.

I do not mean any insult of medical workers. Management at many institutions that is the problem and if you think medicine is purely about high ideals and not profit I have some waterfront property to sell you.
