Testing The “Individualization” Of CAM Treatments Shows No Benefits

1. Anecdotal:

I once had what turned out to be a mycobacterial pneumonia, 1994 it was. I allowed my wife to talk me into going to a CAM herbalist for it, thought it was the usual naso-pharyngeal stuff, sort of went into remission, thought I was invulnerable too back then, so some months later, it came back with a vengeance, wound up in the ER with two broken ribs from coughing, and buckets of greenish-grey stuff that I coughed up. Did you know you can break your own ribs from coughing? I'll bet you did. A round of antibiotics and it was gone in days.
