if it reduces the problem about 30% of the time
and INCREASES the problem in 20% of the cases
I get this=
10% likelihood of benefit
which would be a clue to look elsewhere, to me, and is WAY too narrow a margin to put on the list of possibles
what did I miss ?
why do I care ?
well, if it worked, I'd want to know
if it didn't work I'd want to know that also
PLUS - to me the COLLECTIVE goal is to keep trying to narrow the focus, until we have a much better handle on both cause & relief which will apply in a majority of cases
and I am one who sees the PRIME value in this board as being an information exchange/test/comparison medium-
so that's where I put my focus, along with several others
doesn't mean others can't find other values here too, of course they can -
so -
I APPLAUD Ricardo for his report & continuing participation,
but ALSO:
suggest it may be a little weak to include in the collective experience at this point
and if we're NOT trying to boil this thing down to some reliable, collectively demonstrated handle on CLuster Headache - then what's the point of even having the CHMB ?
