I agree with you. And I have also been having health issues for years and doctors cannot really find what's going on. You know what's worse? They don't even care to find what's going on, they pay very little attention to me and just send me out with the same medication they give to everybody because they get 5 dollars for each patient that buys it. I cannot wait for many of them to be replaced by AI, it will be an improvement over the status quo.

Do you know how many times I've got prescribed a drug that would harm me more than do good? Do you know how many times I've got prescribed an antibiotic I'm allergic to, even after telling them I'm allergic to it, even after three different people wrote that down in many different places? Most modern doctors are criminals and I will never be ashamed to say that, because it's true.

Please keep doing what you're doing and ignore the naysayers, they're usually on some pharma's company payroll, sad.

You probably won't believe it, but that's not a thing. My wife is a doctor and I can tell you exactly how she gets paid. The only real misaligned incentive I've been able to find is that she could pad her paycheck by spending more ordering tests.

But she her pet peeve is doctors ordering tests that aren't going to change the course of treatment, so she's definitely not going to do that.

Curious if you've tried any harder core dietary interventions?

I eat pretty much everything, in a healthy way.

But it could be something I eat, definitely, what I have feels like a sudden allergy to something that I haven't been able to single out from the environment.
