So you built an entire Reddit forum where many people presumably suggest their treatments, "cures" and other remedies for handling crohns/UC, but here you are strongly and rather self-righteously criticizing someone who casually did the exact same thing? It was just a suggestion, not an insistence or a promise of a cure-all. Nor were they selling anything for that matter..

Yes, various alternative and experimental treatments were discussed with a strong emphasis that anyone considering them should first discuss them with their medical team. And people who posted with definitive language about cures were either downvoted into oblivion and chastised in the comments or permabanned if it was clear from their post history that they were commenting with an agenda. The person I replied to on here would have had their ass handed to them in the comments of the subreddit and then probably would have been banned since they’re clearly only spouting their talking points and not interested in creating a discussion around the topic.
