You're right, that kind of study would never happen because the results would never get published in the medical journals... no doubt you realize that the journals are sponsored by the pharmaceuticals, they run full page ads and that's how the cost of publishing those journals are bought and paid... any editor of those journals would lose his job if he ran a study that discounted the significance of one of their major sponsors... I've already seen that happen when a research study was conducted at a major university to show that a reduction in carbohydrates reduced the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes... the journal's major sponsor threatened to pull their account if the journal ran that study... that is very scary, so much for pioneer medicine...

I believe many natural treatments are not well known due to regulation. However, an enormous amount of BS is also avoided. To be certain what you might want to try, ask a regular doctor. Many of them are very familiar with such things. They are not all machines. Ask Fallope. He is a Doctor and might have a useful opinion. If all fails find a 50s something, thin woman with her hair parted in the middle, gray proudly showing. She would likely be wearing a long sleeveless sundress with natural armpits. She says "Oh Happy Day" and plays the Appalachian Dulcimer. Her name is TieDye and her "old man" has wire rimmed glasses, an unkept beard and he eats her vegetarian meatloaf with lots of vegetarian ketchup made from organic tomatoes and turbinado sugar.
