Why has nobody reproduced Segal's results?[edit]

As far as I can tell, the existence of HSO has never been demonstrated by anyone except Segal and Segal has not produced anything since the first 2007 paper, which was a case study. I find it interesting that the three Segal refs in the bibliography are, in fact, this same paper presented in a manner that might make you think that there are actually more than one paper on this. Also, refs 2, 3, 4 do not work but I can't figure out what they were supposed to link to. Is this really notable? No reviews mention it, nobody publishes on it, and even the original author seems to have lost scientific interest. Desoto10 (talk) 03:49, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Someone who knows what they're doing, please read[edit]

I don't know proper wikipedia editing etiquette so I'm just writing this here, but this entire article should be flagged with a disclaimer or something (deleted) - this is a "phenomenon" reported by one guy, completely unsubstantiated, and the proposed "mechanism" he writes about makes sense only if you're on the wrong side of the dunning-kruger curve for biochemistry and neuroscience. No one has been able to replicate any of his findings. This is basically just bunk pseudoscience being given a greater guise of credibility by the existence of this article here. 2601:183:CA7F:3D30:5434:BE77:694:6052 (talk) 14:40, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
