Most interesting, thank you for this presentation. I do sympathise with the suffering which you have both endured & congratulate you on your resilience & the improvements you have attained. I completely agree with the discussion during the last 10 minutes about the need for a change of paradigm in the medical profession & how going outside the envelope of conventional medicine can yield amazing discoveries & results. In my own case, I had a bad bout of COVID a couple of years ago & have not been right since, going on to develop IBS & CFS. My conventional medicine practitioners (GP/Gastroenterologist/Dietitian) were of little help, simply ruling out anything too sinister & getting me onto a generic low-FODMAP diet which did little to improve my symptoms. I discussed the possibility of gut (microbiome) testing with them & was basically laughed out of court. I decided to pursue this avenue privately, having sourced a functional medicine group who could offer this test among others. The test results were enlightening & the subsequent protocol most effective, with my IBS symptoms reducing dramatically, such that I am now able to return to all the previously banned foods without any ill effects. This is a source of great joy! Still working on the energy & related issues, but I can say that my quality of life has improved tremendously since turning to the functional medicine approach.
