It seems like (if I'm reading it right) you cured yourself so congrats on that. Do note that unless you somehow cured at least a couple other people with Crohns using your method, it's quite possible that it only works for a small number of people (of which you are one), or even that you somehow had a mistaken understanding of the causation (i.e. something else cured it). I personally don't think it's a big deal, but there might be a risk of others trying your method and getting adverse results (I don't know what it involves so I'm just speculating here). Some people are offended that chronic disease patients with some intelligence can know their disease better than specialist doctors though. I never understood this reaction, I guess it's just some kind of gatekeeping that every profession has...

I'm not anything special. There are tons of people who are curing their crohns almost accidentally via other paths who just so happen to stumble into the cure because they threw a wide net. It'snot like I'm the only person ever to have considered it neither. Easy to find after you realize, so it's certainly well within the 'many many others curing themselves'. But you look at crohns forum and it's almost as if medication, surgery, and diet are the only options? Like what? Not even the wiki page is that limited. >Some people are offended that chronic disease patients with some intelligence can know their disease better than specialist doctors though. I never understood this reaction, I guess it's just some kind of gatekeeping that every profession has... That makes sense to me. For me, I just went and read every single science article available. I also have a great option to experiment on myself. Do something silly for a week or month and see how it works out. Journal and track how it goes. I figure I'm sort of half way alleging a conspiracy, but I really don't think so, there is no Illuminati who want crohns disease to get worse. I must say, my poos are so much better after lol. I'm also trans and I find the same thing, the communities are super hostile to anything which might end it because they get their identity from it. Not that I'm saying there's a cure to being trans/autistic. That happens pre-natal exposure.
