> If this treatment could be turned into a drug that had billions of dollars in revenue, as some arthritis drugs have, then there would be endless studies.

This is a thought-terminating cliche. It's entirely possible nobody has studied it yet.

It's also worth pointing out that drug companies have no incentive to research subtractive diets. They want to find additive treatments that keep symptoms at bay.

Wow, I wonder if I completely misread the parent. A few sibling comments seem to have made the same misinterpretation. Maybe it was edited after I responded?

It's also possible that it has been studied, but it only works for a few people so the positive signal is swamped out by all the nonresponders.
