Like all things in life, one decision is affected by other decisions and responsibilities.

"I recognized the symptoms of TII and permanently-reversed them,
now able to consume ANY natural food I choose (with obvious exceptions to toxic compounds, given my “choices”)."

I strongly believe that those "obvious exceptions" are all carbohydrates, like processed sugar.

My primary responsibility right now is to care for my aging parents, and their diets and eating habits strongly adversely affect my eating habit, simply because of not wanting to cook three separate meals.
But I have learned over these past 12 years that my body will tell me by my energy level, or lack thereof, what foods hurt my blood sugar.
I'm quite positive that your body has done the same.
I believe in the body's ability to heal itself.
However, with aging that healing process slows down a lot.

Another relative, my brother's wife's mother, had a cancer problem and her cancer became active again.
Her daughter had learned over many years that her cancer cells were a higher percentage of blood levels when her mother ate foods that converted to sugars quickly, like potatoes, and breads, and other sweets.
While visiting my brother, I asked her, if she liked dark green vegetables.
She said some of them, she could eat.
I got her some fresh turnip greens with purple turnips, and some fresh spinach and made her a salad, and cooked the turnip greens for about 3 hours, adding the turnips in the last 30 minutes.
She ate them and liked them.
The next day, when she had her blood tested, her doctor asked her what she had done, and said that her iron levels were way up, and that her blood cells had improved greatly to the good.
I told her that it was the micro-nutrients in the dark greens.

Whole food are a great health benefit, and processed sugars and processed flour kills.

Well then, I must be an alien. The Celiac-cured patients of Dr. Sidney Valentine Haas from over 70 years ago must also be aliens. Okinawans, too.

Sarcasm aside, I consume carbs on a regular basis, but smartly. Sugars as well, but avoid manufactured sugars (anything from corn or sugarbeets, including refined white sugar). The difference being the cliche’ statement “all things in moderation”. The exceptions should be obvious, but in my interactions with people it’s becoming clear that I might have to list those exceptions in much more detail than my simple, single-page “blacklist” to satisfy the needs of others. Most people don’t care about the details; they just want to know how to get from point A to point B. Sadly, much more is required due to all the hazards en route, so-to-speak. This may point to part of your own frustration.

I reiterate my advice: Seek a qualified ND. If you’ve been dealing with this for 12 years and continue to have health issues, the likelihood is that you’re missing something. I truly missed my calling, as solving problems is my skill, but I hate blood & biology. My own interest and resulting books were borne of a cliche’: Necessity is the mother of invention.

Considering all the people I’ve interacted with having similar stories, the odds are in my favor that there’s something missing from your approach.

Fast fact:
When I was eating a whole-food/clean-food/raw-food diet my health continued to decline to the point of severe nutrient deficiency. This prompted a new approach due to an obvious ignorance on my part. This also resulted in rewriting my then-book and producing volume II after ANOTHER hundreds of hours of research, dedicated autodidacticism and a yearlong regimen to regain my health. When I state of others about their own “ignorance” I do not do so out of spite, but rather encouragement to a path of enlightenment & discovery.
Thus, my experience with the approach of “eating clean, whole food” as panacea for human health is shot down in flames. So is “carb-free”. Gluten-free as well.

With that, a quote:
Genius abhors consensus because when consensus is reached, thinking stops. - Albert Einstein

There is no ‘diet’ to solve everyone’s problems. It’s a shell game...a manipulation of the public in what is now a grand scheme to profit off of our misfortune and control the population by means of health services.
Thus, controlling one’s health is a Conservative mandate, but I cannot claim that in my book for obvious reasons.

I encourage you to follow me and once you see how I address my new approach to physical health matters, it will all make sense. For now, it’s so secret that I haven’t even told myself in the mirror...
