Thanks ;)

yes sure, it can be many things - and a repeatability of 2 in 3 is not very much... just some.

It can also be that as the original article mentions there are many causes for a bad cold, that my system worked only with a part of them.

I just get a bit upset with (some other) people saying my personal experience isn't a properly conducted study - it sure isn't.

At the same time, these studies fail every day, in the end they are all just statistics, which can be forged, lead to wrong assumptions, or just be flawed in a failure criterion not being thought of until now - like, oh, 30,000 cancer studies... http://www.sciencealert.com/more-than-30-000-scientific-stud...

But I'm not even talking about cancer - and I sure would defintely rather try fighting cancer with a "western medicine" approach that has some reasonable success rate and never recommend anyone diagnosed with such trying to treat that thing with a spoon of Vitamin C everyday...
