We work case by case, client by client. Clearly, we can’t follow George’s example and publish an n-of-1 report for each one!
How do we implement the n-of-1 for homeopathy?
Fortunately, we don’t have to invent this
the combined n-of-1 trials is a weel worn path for us to use.
Here is an exerpt from the NIH article:
“The combined n-of-1 trials approach achieves the same goal: a number of n-of-1 trials are pursued and the best interventions for each patient are recorded.
Characteristics of the patients are noted and contrasted in order to identify distinguishing features among those who did best on a specific intervention. If such a characteristic is found, it is used to inform the use of that intervention in the future.
This approach essentially starts out in a small and focused manner, and then works its way towards insights that would immediately benefit a much larger group of patients.“
