Sorry but it does prove that TTO is effective in 41% of cases. That is a FAR cry over many other treatments. There also is alot of other data out there. This study was the first I am aware of.

I have an engineering back round. When engineers are presented with new data they act on it. The very fact that mainstream medicine has FAILED to even seriously study TTO is what they should be ashamed of. IF somebody walked into my hospital and offered me a 41% cure for a disease that is rapidly becoming "incurable" I would investigate it IMMEDIATELY!

Suppose you could reduce plane or car crashes by 41%. The Gvmnt and the public would crucify you if you didn't do it.

I do not mean any insult of medical workers. Management at many institutions that is the problem and if you think medicine is purely about high ideals and not profit I have some waterfront property to sell you.

For nasal infections there was a statistically significant change. For skin lesions there wasn't a statistically significant difference. And that's in a study that isn't double-blind, although it is randomized.

Look, it bears further study, but that "study" is in no way conclusive of anything. I see "studies" like that every day, mostly from drug companies. Unlike many others, I insist on the methodology and statistical results. And, if you like, I can give you more ammunition, going on all night about the BS--for the profit motive. But this study is a lot the same way of a lot of others.

But to say hospitals deliberately omit effective treatments to generate business is, as I said above, lunacy. It's quite the opposite--expensive, unproven therapies and techniques are all too often used in a desperate attempt to stop exactly this phenomenon. Witness USP 797.
