Adaptation

There is some misunderstanding as to why some might reject a particular therapy. It is assumed that the individual denies the utility that could be derived, or believes that the effect of the therapy is a net negative to one's vitality, by some metric or another. There are, of course, other possibilities: Therapy elicits adaptation which produces measurable increase in immunologically mediating / active structures. The side effects are nil or are, at worst, an acceptable metabolic load of toxicity.

The literature and consensus agree that the adaptation falls within a range that is understood to be significant.

In spite of what seems like 100% benefit, the missing element is an agreed specification describing the optimal desired adaptation, as well as proposed methodology to assess the degree which indicates success for achieving that outcome.

A set of possible side effects as well as aproposed range of computability for each

In considering adaptation and computability, we must be mindful that: Our systems adapt to stimulii and the nuance of these adaptations does not have a limit of resolution, but a limit as to how well they can be perceived and observed.
