"OCAT patients went from degression to "improvement"."

All 18 of um or whatever the tiny number is. So I guess that's pretty much settled "science" for all 6 BILLION plus people on planet earth?

Not quite how the "scientific method" works. Takes a bit more than a single, micro "study", with a very small sample size and little time of follow-on to even know what the mid-term or long term effects are, potential side effects, if it even lasts, etc. There's literally 1000's of seemingly "miracle treatments" that look promising when first tried, but that get derailed and prove to be failures when tested and studied in larger population sets and over much longer periods of time. It's why out of every 10,000 drug candidates that look "promising" in the lab or very early staged, "maybe" 2 or 3 ever see the light of day as commercialized and salable, approved products- and even many of them prove later to be failures and unsafe. Remember the "miracle" called fen-phen? A lot of young people, who lost a lot of weight, but are now walking time bombs with permanently damaged hearts. Fen-phen was heralded as a literal "miracle" and had made it through all FDA trials and testing and gained approval.

Not a "cure" for blindness yet by a million miles.
