Your citation doesn't backup your name calling: there is no information about failed attempts at replicating her results. There is an on-going study with 100 participants on the Wahls protocol. [1]
If I had taken your point of view, I wouldn't have cured my psoriasis. I wouldn't have witnessed someone curing their irritable bowel syndrome. I would have kept taking antibiotics instead of addressing acne with other techniques. In all cases, these were "sham" cures not proven by science according to your POV. In all cases these are now slowly being recognized as valid approaches for treating the disease.
By your reasoning every medical treatment that is accepted today would have to have previously been a "sham" before it was accepted.
What worked for Dr. Wahls might not work for others as well as it did for herself, but it did work for her. Name calling doesn't un-publish her case report [2] or halt the ongoing study of her protocol [1].

- _qua 5y agoDoctors who feel they discovered a radical treatment but can't convince their colleagues and then create a sales website with training courses and products are highly correlated with quackery.
- Broken_Hippo 5y agoBy your reasoning every medical treatment that is accepted today would have to have previously been a "sham" before it was accepted. A sham includes things like misleading folks. Before the current treatments were accepted, they were in trials. People willingly participated, knowing it was experimental. Folks buying books of unproven cures aren't privy to the same sort of openness. Classic scam behavior.
