It's far more reckless to tell people to do something specific because they supposedly have a very specific disease because it is very easy to misdiagnose symptoms.

There are so many symptoms that could either be something harmless (that can be fixed with a diverse non specific diet) or be cancer. If you spend too much time on medical websites trying to self diagnose you are at some point going to convince yourself that you have the worst disease of all the potential options.

Your point is valid. I would be dead if I hadn’t spent so much time researching. Doctors constantly dismiss symptoms as anxiety.

At one point I was in ER (second time) gasping for air coughing up blood. Totally chill from all the anxiety meds while Doctor was explaining how it was just muscle strain. He went white when x/ray came back.
