Comment: Often journals won't publish findings where a vitamin or herb is helpful and also avoid and deligitimize conditions for which drugs are not helpful, such as MCS, so that they can push psychiatric drugs. It's so important to research the financial ties behind a journal and the study authors. Mere publication in a journal is not assurance that rigorous scientific procedures have been followed and the study outcome is truthful.
