Trial: The process of making an inference about disease causation from an observed response of the disease to a treatment is called treating a patient "ex juvantibus" (from Latin, meaning "from that which helps") or: Let's see if it works. You would know that it does, when your cycles become regular and you start loosing weight. It may be worthwhile to put up with the sweating for 3 months.
