The double blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study is the gold standard of the scientific medical world. It was purposely designed to eliminate experience, which in large part is where natural healing functions including experimentation and testing of CS, and other natural healing modalities, etc.
Real science deals in facts. Healing is not a fact. Healing is a process, an event that lies within each of us and it is a paradox. Healing deals with experience (anecdote). Since a healing anecdote does not comply with the gold standard of medical science, it is rejected. This is why true healing and medical science will always be at odds with one another. Are we reaching the 100th Monkey syndrome, when the knowledge becomes known to so many through experience that this discussion will move into the 'old wives category' and remain invalidated by the limitations of science? The home made chicken soup myth was finally proven regardless of the suggestions we should take medications. Too many of us know through experience that viruses, even big ones, appear to disappear with DMSO.
