Sure, it could work. And if it does work it should prove effective in a double blind clinical trial.

Criteria for a quality trial:

  • Subjects are randomly assigned to a CAM therapy or a credible placebo
  • At least 50 subjects per group
  • Less than 25% dropout rate
  • Publication in a high-quality, prestigious, peer-reviewed journal
