"Critics may say that
the inclusion of personal experiences is characteristic of
quackery. They will point out that the personal experiences
of people suffering or being treated for disorders are too
subjective for them to have value in assessment of the results
of the treatment and that only strictly objective assessments,
devoid of any emotional content can accurately assess the
progress of the disease or its treatment.
If the experiences are genuine,
are sufficient in number and cover a reasonable duration of
time with diversity of origin - there can be absolutely no
question of quackery being involved.
Infact, such experiences represent a very valuable source
of medical information, which in some instances is more relevant
than that which could be gained in a short-term clinical trial.
The following experiences are
from people in countries spanning the whole world. Some of
the writers have themselves been medical doctors and specialists.
These testimonials cover a period of 20 years and fall under
the following three categories:
These are just small examples
of written communications. Naturally there is a considerable
amount of verbal communication with telephone calls from USA,
Europe and Canada.
The similarity in the reports is so striking that it is considered
to be a valid indication of the effectiveness of the mussel
extract product.
It is now left to the reader
to decide whether these personal experiences are evidence
of the value of the product or is both scientifically invalid
and indicative of quackery."
