I thought they'd already tried this? I know someone who did research about this like half a decade ago. I may look at the study tomorrow.
Yes, it sais right at the beginning, that the original article was from 2019. But they updated and republished it, because they did new studies. This time placebo controlled, larger and longer. Previously, the initial reduction in symptoms was 24%, now they showed, that after two years it's 45%. Also, these are official clinical trials for FDA approval, so it's closer to be made available for the public now.
Also most research is straight up non-reproducible and, even worse, produces the opposite result of the study when reproduced. So this could be quite groundbreaking stuff.
