No idea; I'm not a doctor/specialist in this area so my opinions are largely irrelevant. I choose to lean on those who are specialists/doctors to give guidance on treatment of the symptoms while other smart people attempt to figure out the root cause.
Wow. You’re granting that complete deference a few centuries too early.
The corpus of medical knowledge available to experts is profoundly more rigorous that two centuries ago but nonetheless remains extremely shallow. Inventing a new culture of health management is an unfathomably large human effort and we’ve barely started.
And on the practical scale, the corpus that exists is informed by population averages not individual responses. When a study determines that a diagnosis or treatment is effective or not, it’s almost never establishing such as a universal truth, but instead informing clinicians as to what may most reliably help some statistical share of their patients.
As all throughout history, and for at least the next few centuries, yielding all care insight to somebody else is deeply irresponsible. You need to include your own curiosity, determination, and judgment if you want to take optimal care of yourself and your family as individuals.
This sounds like a lot of justification for "do your own research," and, in my case, I don't prescribe to that--at all.
Hey, by all means, you go ahead and use whatever tools you have available to you to make determinations about your and your family's well-being, but I'm going to trust the opinions of those who work with and treat these sorts of issues day in and day out for decades and avoid the opinions of those I do not deem to have appropriate credibility.
