> I just think its interesting...now, there's research on individual components of the old school Hoffer cocktails, but nobody (as far as I know...) has put the whole combo together with an appropriately dosed atypical and studied it long term. Shame, shame, shame.
It just seems like reaching. After enough negative trials that all the major medical associations reject the therapy, does it make sense to keep thinking they just didn't quite test it right? How did Hoffer even choose his specific protocol in the first place, given that he wasn't using controlled testing? Are we supposed to think he just had really, really, really good intuition?
I just compare it to something like the development of chemotherapy, which happened in the same time-frame. It wasn't someone coming up with elaborate, individualized drug combos. It was trial and error on individual drugs, then adding more agents in combination with existing successes. We ended up with some treatments that have stood the test of time and passed large controlled trials.
Thus I just think if high dose vitamin therapy was really effective, we would have very different data by now.
