You&#x27;re completely missing the point. Those two things are not comparable. Yes, it&#x27;s not a controlled study. But it still has enormous value.<p>If I tell you I invented a cure for cancer, you should be highly skeptical of me. But if I tell you I have a cure for cancer, prove to you that I have cancer, then cure my own cancer - you shouldn&#x27;t give that treatment FDA approval, but you should sure as hell start the clinical trials process. Whereas if I do not treat myself or anyone else, you should just write me off as a crank.<p>That is the difference between the world before and after this self-experiment. It upgrades the probability in everyone&#x27;s mind that this is a real thing and it can really work. It doesn&#x27;t mean we should all go blindly get the treatment done, but it does mean we should take this research much more seriously. That is its value.
