RE: This Needs Addressing - a long day's journey into the barrenness

Overly restrictive diets, to me, seem suspect because they can become the catalyst to sell books, products, or put more $$$ into the coffers of certain industries like the cattle/dairy industry.
100%! I began seeing this as well. I remember listening to a podcast with some big Joe whatever promoting this kind of diet and he started lambasting avocados as a scheme to control and manipulate us...I was like, dude. Come on. :))
I'm hoping your time at the Mayo Clinic brings answers (and healing) <3

Following the money is always a great way to sniff these schemes out. "Miracles" are usually revealed to be "snake oil" in the end. Oftentimes, the studies showing the things are beneficial are funding by the very same people/organizations that will profit by the increased sales. They have a new group of "marks" with every generation that comes of age. It'll be interesting to see if it's ever discovered that the carnivore or raw/primal carnivore dietary studies were funded by the cattle industry (which was a very bad shape due to the decades red meat was demonized as unhealthy).
Thank you! The Mayo is the last resort here in the states. If nothing comes of this it'll be time to seek treatment/care overseas. There are some decent clinics in Turkey and Switzerland from what I've read.
