Obviously its important to understand the mechanism so we can potentially help more people. If it was placebo, it doesnt diminish the poster’s story, it just means there’s not therapeutic correlation
I downvoted - It's anecdotal (OP states it too). You don't know, he doesn't know, no one does.
That doesn't make the experience invalid.
You simply can't credibly recommend it to someone else, which the OP doesn't do.
