Patel Thompson, Jordan Rubin, and other self-cured IBDers as slick marketeers- thoughts?

Spontaneous remissions do occur. I had one that lasted around 10 years med-free and at that time was not doing ANY sort of alternative health stuff, supplements, probiotics, etc and was eating a diet high in refined sugars. Someone said earlier in this thread that many people who think they cured themselves using alternative meds may well have entered a spontaneous remission of this sort. So when a doc hears anything that is not "proven" in peer reviewed studies, they chalk it down that way too. However, as Princessa points out, there is alot of scientific evidence that falls short of the full peer reviewed clinical studies that nevertheless suggests things which may help some, and for which years later there may be peer-reviewed studies.... why wait years and years to DIY?
