Right, I'm asking what you observed.



The main observation was "cocaine use". The inference was that this drug had damaged her mitochondria.

She'd turn into an anorexic, and become more psychotic. I'd feed her, and she'd get better. It seems to me that she needs to eat more regularly than a normal person.

I have a couple 'therapies' that help restore energy metabolism. Some of these obviously helped, but she was a difficult patient, and wouldn't use them regularly.

That's an enormous inferential leap...
