RE: Can Diets Fight Chronic Pain? The Science Isn't There article:
Those of us who eat paleo/primal and have had great relief and even cures from auto-immune issues, just laugh and laugh when we read this nonsensical propaganda.
It's not propaganda, so much as, you know, *science.* What works for you won't necessarily work for anyone else. What works for me is not necessarily a cure-all. No need to be rude about it.
The placebo effect is real and profound. People get better because they expect to, not because what they are doing has a curative effect. This is why some things work for a particular individual, but do not do so in scientific experiments.
To each their own, and there is no need for others to be competitive about their approach as opposed to others.
"Science" -- oh, the one that is funded by Big Agra and Big Pharma?
Yes, they always tell the truth, never hide or lie about their data, have no vested interest in outcomes and have only your welfare at heart.
