    Yes, I understand, annual medical checkups including blood tests, ekg, eeg, etc. provide readings and measurement that measure an individuals general health. That was not the focus of the question.

    The how I am asking is how measurements of his condition tell us which of the multiple concurrent changes he made are effective and which had no effect, or perhaps even a negative counter effect? How is this providing useful data?

        Again how? With multiple treatments at once, how do you attribute to a certain treatment and not another, or multiple?

        Sometimes we don’t know the full extent of the affects of treatment over the whole body.

        And the methodology being used will provide no helpful data to help gain that knowledge.
