I was interested in the discussion. You were speaking as a medical professional and you are trying to evaluate this canine program, as opposed to drugs or anything else. Particular drugs don't work for everybody, either; some are successful with patient A, but not patient B.
I liked your notion that it may take a period of time to do a study, but that perhaps this is something that some other branch—the chief of personnel—could investigate, as opposed to a “medical therapy”.
That seems to make sense to me. Is that what you were suggesting?
