All Those 23andMe Spit Tests Were Part of a Bigger Plan

I don't think many medical scientists support any functional medicine practice. I have no doubt much of the medical industry is extremely corrupt, but I have a hard time believing nearly all medical scientists are working against peoples best interests.

The two people you mentioned seem to be regarded negatively by the scientific community.

Dr. Mark Hyman

Looking at that journal it's definitely filled with crank nonsense.

And Dr. Gundry I assume is Steven Gundry, who is best known for false claims about lectins.

If you think those two are cranks, with their piles of credentials and active practices with tens of thousands of satisfied patients, who would you recommend I follow for health-related content instead?

This doesn't constitute strong evidence and isn't how science works.

I asked you for an alternative and you didn't provide one. Are you interested in solving problems or just throwing stones?
