No idea if we have the same health condition(s) but I know exactly the phenomenon you're talking about. It's interesting/funny how different communities display this at different levels, though: way too many people in the autoimmune arthritis groups try to brute force their way through with sketchy diets (spoiler alert, they don't prevent permanent skeletal damage the way medications do), but most (not all) people in the inflammatory bowel disease groups are like "for the love of god please give me every drug you've got." Doubly interesting that the conditions themselves are often comorbid and the medications that treat one frequently treat both. For cancer specifically, I've heard some pretty wild anecdotes about the Steve Jobs-esque diet truthers... and none that ended well. One guy told me that his dad had cancer, and the "shill doctors" were trying to push chemo, but his dad opted for some pressed juice(?) regimen instead, with apparent success. So I'm like "that's great, man, glad your dad is doing better" and he told me no, his dad did pass away... from getting chemo. Or so he claims. But it sounds to me like he really did just die of cancer.
