Chet,
To sum it up, the cure has worked for all those that knew what a shroom was prior to taking them. In other words they had prior experience and good connections. Those that were inexpereienced largely didn't meet with any success. I'm not sure what this means, but I suspect that some people were ripped off. The only way we'll know for sure is if you all fly over to Scotland and come visit me. I am partially serious. Even better bring a film crew from 20/20 along.
I'd suggest that any amatuers who get desperate enough to try this, and God knows I've been there, should try LSD first since it is safer, more widely available, and easier to identify.
Taking everyone into account the success rate is about 50%. Like I said this assumes that everyone took shrooms that actually contained psilocilin or psilocybin.
Hey - and remember it isn't a cure, it's a treatment. The CH will still want to come back every year, the treatment must be taken periodically to prevent this.
I appreciate your interest.
