Hypothesis VIII
That designing protocols based on retention times is not founded in good scientific principles and that is the reason for the failure of current protocols for some that follow these protocols. And the reason for the likely unnecessary long length of time for successful treatment which is currently accepted.
—-----------------------------------------------------
That the retention time is what is currently used in designing protocols both with regards amounts and frequency.
I am different in that I have a different conclusion from the same information.
I did not make this discovery by trial and error and that is likely why it is not considered.
—------------------------------------------------------------
If this was my field which it is not I would study treatment protocols based on effectiveness for the individuals not limited by the current conclusions based on retention times.
I would also develop a severity of damage scale to the neurological system by symptom and not rely on x-rays proving extreme damage. I would start with that a person who can not walk without the aid of a device likely will not heal with current protocols and needs and deserves more robust treatment.
Then again I would not make assumptions on age of onset until a way to establish age of onset was developed.
In summary the retention times should not be used in designing protocols anymore than blood serum levels should be used to rule out B12 deficiency. A case of the diagnosis of B12 deficiency and the treatment are both fundamentally flawed, both resulting in preventable pain and suffering.
In my field this type of error would be called a fatal flaw. Meaning unless corrected the understanding will continue to fail the stated goal. In my field this happens consistently and the responsibility of the professional to find the flaws.
Note: The measurement of retention times is scientifically based in that it is repeatable. It is the selection set and the conclusions that are flawed.
That the EOD protocol based on retention times is effective for the physicians is not the criteria I used for my evaluation. Or part of my design criteria. The physicians did not feel a thing.
