“I will make further implausible claims about this treatment for depression: works in five days or less leads to remission for >50% people. doesn’t require any medication. doesn’t require talk therapy (though it may be helpful afterward). is safer than water (in that you can’t overdose) and is considered a minimal risk procedure by the FDA. lasts for months to over a year for some.”
Framed ironically as 'implausible claims' but stated sincerely: SNT works in five days or less, leads to remission for over 50% of patients, needs no medication or talk therapy, is minimal risk, and lasts for months to over a year for some. These state the Stanford study results as general properties of the treatment.
Descriptive, retrospective, or a statement of preference; no future state asserted.
