That's fine, it kills time meantime.
A success without the data is really a failure,
A failure with the data is actually a success.
That's the problem with all of this ameture investigation we do. As you said, the mega-dose of niacin didn't work, so you moved on, thinking that trying a mega-dose was the right thing to do. So you probably missed an opportunbity because the approach was very incomplete.
You have to know why you are doing something and how you are going to do it, you have to know what to expect, and what the results mean. "That it didn't work" doesn't tell you anything.
Some took progesterone, but it didn't work, some took testosterone, but it didn't work. But they didn't even think that it may be very important to have the right dose or proper administration, and to take it under certain circumstances.
If you fail, but have the correct data, data that actually tells you something, then the failure is valuable.
I just got sick and tired of it. "Up to here" as they say. Trying and trying and trying, and nothing seeming to work, and zero answers from anything. I asked myself, WTF are we doing?
Like shooting at a target with your eyes closed.
I know you didn't invent any of what you said, but nobody among us can really pretend to understand it. There are some that may be on to something, but the formula is STILL in adjustment.
I will be surprised if a malformed gene has anything to do with it. But who knows?
