Just bear in mind there are people reporting the same cures from an all-plant diet. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.

There are also people who report things for almost everything. All of this anacdotal data is next to worthless.

Contrary to your beliefs there is lot's of data in favor of an all plant based diet (which i do not follow so I do not push any agenda here).

The data has been pretty clear since the early 90s and the large population studies that were made then.

Different diets foster different environments for bacteria. Different diets can work for many one works better than others

Its not my beliefs. I'm just pointing out that the simple act of strictly regulating your diet will almost always make you healthier because you have to watch what you eat and avoid crap like takeaway

Anecdotes are the first step to observing patterns that can lead to hypotheses that can be tested in controlled experiments.

Is there any other way that a chain of events leading to a scientific finding can begin?
