I agree with Michael. Try to find even the slightest evidence that the system works. Once you start to believe that you can do something and that it truely works that is when the results tend to show up in a big way. Go into this thing with the mindset that you want to prove that this system really works (I know its hard to do especially when the inner skeptic creeps in).

But I really believe that with a mindset of trying to prove things rather than disprove them will produce more results (although it is counter to the scientific method).
