FWIW there are a fair number of people who report good results for this and the original post issues with keto, fasting and related things on Reddit. A bunch of claims around gluten too.

To add to this: You're fighting inflammatory disease. Generally, do and consume things that lower it. Mental inflammation included.

  Yes, excess sugar/carbs can contribute to inflammation.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to be a little rude here. You may be approaching this with good intentions, but don't do this. > Chronically ill people research their diseases ad nauseam. They try more treatments than they can count. In many cases, great scientific minds can’t crack a cause or cure. So unless someone asks for your advice, don’t offer it.

  The recent uproar about the NEJM issue containing only marketing is the counterpoint. Dr Fung pointed out that there's no wonder people turn to GOOP when the system is so broken. So while I understand and appreciate your point, I don't think you understand how corrupted medicine has become. It's now a necessity to do your own research. Dr Wahls curing of her own MS would be another example.

    By providing a suggestion, you're implying they haven't tried. I've spent ten years with a chronic disease with no known cause. I am currently on two trials. You are not capable of naming any suggestion that I have not heard, and that is common in the community. You don't appreciate my point - you're insulting by making your suggestions. You're suggesting that they haven't investigated something that affects every single part of their life.

      I meet people all the time whose sole source of information is their doctor. And, I said 'FWIW' as the very first word. I realize this is the internet but that's a stretch to find an insult.

        > I realize this is the internet but that's a stretch to find an insult. It's not. It's even in the damned article. If you can't understand that, you have even less business giving anyone advice, you're missing the humanity of the situation.

        You literally give unasked advice in your other thread. I'm not sure we can run open discussion boards with the principle that you can't insult anyone for any reason even unintentionally.

        > I'm afraid I'm going to have to be a little rude here. > You may be approaching this with good intentions, but don't do this. I calmly asked you to stop a behaviour. The insult was only taken when you asserted your belief that I, a victim of the situation, is fundamentally wrong, and that you, a random stranger, have the right to do something people, not just myself but the author of the article and many others, find harmful. Open discussion will always bring conflict. That's not the problem here. The problem is you've told something causes conflict, and you aren't responding with sensitivity, or grace. I've attempted to explain to you the nuances of the behaviour, and why that may cause conflict.

  > I'm afraid I'm going to have to be a little rude here. No, please don't. On HN, it's necessary to make your points respectfully and neutrally, regardless of how wrong others are or you feel they are. If you can't or don't want to do that, please don't make them here. We certainly did not need the dozens of comments' worth of petty bickering that this thread devolved to.
