I agree on the “if they have something to sell” but there really isn’t much to sell here. Chew hard food, practice better posture and lip tape at night. It’s not a financially viable industry to sell in.
Occasionally people sell gum. But they aren’t rolling in riches in the process of selling gum.
Sometimes people facilitate accountability groups and there’s a finance factor there but it’s not very common. And that’s a private coaching group, it takes work to maintain.
Yes photos are open to manipulation by lighting and some are like that but I don’t think all of them are manipulated.
The cohorts are the studies of countries or societies with access to different diets. Weston price did that in the 1930s and looked at the skull records which are hard to fake (and hard to verify for others trying to validate his work). But it’s harder to find recent cohorts with strict diet limits.
I’ll try to dig up the case studies although all this work and it’s likely you will say that case studies are not convincing without rct’s. This is why I never published the draft. It’s a lot of work and it’s not worth my energy to prove the theory to random people on the internet.
I agree.
I believe that we need an rct but without subjective wins from the gradually mounting evidence, the whole conversation is me pushing uphill for a cause that I’m only a bit motivated to prove to other people.
I’m confident for myself but the potential cause area needs more research.
