How it went for everyone who tried one of its treatments
Helped means they said it helped with what they took it for, which may be one symptom and not the illness. Each person counts once: someone who tried several of these treatments is split equally across those they said how it went for.
Shares are out of the 3,242 people who said how it went for at least one of them, each counted once, the parts rounded to whole people. 666 more tried one or credit the approach without saying how it went.
