Geez, in the US a supplement company is not legally allowed to claim it treats or cures a specific disease, even if it successfully does.
So why is a "programme" of groupthink from random "practioners" allowed to make this claim? WHY??

I have no problem with people offering practical strategies to help people cope with the mental effects of long-term disabling illness, but this person's dismissiveness of an entire patient population just because they don't capitulate to their grandiose claims like a herd of sheep is beyond the pale.

I wonder if this person ever thought that perhaps the anxiety was caused by gut issues. I did develop anxiety that seemed to correlate to how bad my gut has been. I have severe ibs and gut disbiosis. I can't just think that away. Plus i think years of Drs dismissing all the problems with my gut certainly didn't help in me feeling any happier. Maybe if they had helped me at some point in the 8+ years of suffering i wouldn't have felt so depressed. It is total bull.
