Is Diet underrated?

I understand what Astroman is trying to say. The human diet IS meat and vegetables and maybe some fruit that is found.

That's what we as organisms eat. That's like a lion saying I tried to do the Zebra diet but it made me feel bad so I went back to spaghetti.

If that's true, then something else is going on there.

Yes, exactly, good summary.

With all "passion" of foods aside, our specific gene oriented methalation pathways and different pathogens in us have an end result effect on what specific foods do to us and why. The amino acids and neurotransmitters in us are reflected by this resulting in how we feel and general state of heath. Its bio/nuero chemistry.

For people who wish to go further into this, some Drs familiar with 23and me data can shed some light on this as a good learning point and possibly solve some individual food "mysteries" one might have as well as anything else reflected by ones personal gene imperfections.

I guess, as with everything, no one-fit-all solution.

One thing is though right:
eat glyphosate (all non organic grains) +
+ GMOs (soya, corn products)
+ meat or animal proteins full pesticides / fungicides (that eat GMO themselves, with modified proteins)
+ non organic milk products (with modified GMO proteins again + pesticides + glyphosates)
+ ONLY processed foods
+ no veggie no fruit diet
...
= you may get well of one disease temporarily with whatever treatments you are doing, but you'll be likely getting another chronic disease soon!

For the ones with allergies OR SENSITIVITIES, there is a VERY IMPORTANT point to consider:

1. Eliminating just ONE 'bad' item from your diet will make BARELY any change in your gut health.
Inflammation will continue.

2. the only way to start feeling some improvement is to eliminate ALL foods that cause you a sensitivity or allergy at once, keep it on diet for a few weeks, then come take a conclusion.

People who are sensitive to gluten and to casein, if you eliminate one but not the other, you'll feel almost nothing.

eliminate both, but not apples (suppose you react to apples without knowing), well, you'll see no improvement in gut health either (nor energy....). And so on.

---------------------------------------------------
Concerning gut health:

1. rebuilding the flora
2. repairing the gut lining after years or decades of damage
3. eliminating parasites
4. eliminate all food allergens (diet)

Unfortunately, all has to be done at once, or there won't be many changes either.
Diet (in case of gut health) is just one item...
