About this episode

The episode discusses why medical interventions vary in effectiveness among individuals and how German New Medicine addresses this issue.

Why is it possible for an intervention to work in 7/10 people? Why is that all of medicine is based on statistics and there aren't interventions that work 100% of the time with 100% of people? Why are there so many outliers? What explains why one thing works for one person, but not another? The only healthcare approach that has an answer for this is German New Medicine.
