I know that this chat room is a helpful and caring place and it is in that spirit that I respond to the post by @lamoore about Dr Gundry's lectin elimination food plan for inflammation. I am EXTREMELY disliking of Dr Gundry and his con, to put it plainly. I have looked at, reviewed, and seen interviews with this man. My opinion is based on the unfortunate time I have spent watching and evaluating him and other medical charlatans over the last 6 years. The internet has created a vast ocean of these and other cons. If Gundry's "diet" is free, then by all means try it. His ideas and diet, which is heavily dependent upon buying his supplements, has been shot down by peer reviewed research. Lectins do exist, but data as to them harming us is non-existent. Lectins , most, are broken down by cooking. As for his diet being anti-inflammatory, no proof exists for it being as such. I am all in at trying anything if it is within reason and price. I, for example, have incorporated acupuncture into my treatment for PMR. For the price and time invested, I find it a helpful part of the package. Others on this chat space may find that a waste of money. So be it, for them. I just have a special place in the "disgust" part of my brain for Gundry, et al. Interested in this topic of challenging "Drs" and their miracle cures and ideas, then check out Dr Mike at https://www.youtube.com/@DoctorMike who has had many of these people on as guests to describe what they are doing. I think you might find it interesting. Even Dr Mike, a celebrity Dr, is suspicious to me but so far he is not "selling" anything. He interviews many of these internet celeb Drs. I was quite impressed with his challenge, yet respectful approach. His Gundry interview is quite telling, for me. And his interview with Dr Gupta is refreshing. Respectfully....
