    Most of the answers to why a specific drug works are “we dunno but we tried it, compared it to people who didn’t get the drug and these guys got better”. Medicine is crawling right now and I would love to see it run.

      Even going so far to use male mice for experimenting exclusively due to fluctuations of female hormones during cycle (which fuck up statistics)… In some cases leading to less effective medication for women than men.

      Guesswork at best…
