I remember that incident.
The medical community is stuck in concrete.
They do NOT want to hear anything that goes against the narrative.
They did it as far back as Semmelweis when all he asked them to do was wash their hands.
And nothing has changed in hundreds of years.
Similarly the standard treatment for diverticulitis is an aerobic and an anaerobic antibiotic. I used to get hit 6 or 7 times per year.
I eventually started rubbing 2 brain cells together and figured out I should create a war in my large intestine and chase the bad bacteria away with some good bacteria.
I started eating yoghurt (with live and active cultures) several times per week. I also drink Kefir now that it is commonly available. The only time in the past 10 years I’ve had a problem has been when traveling and unable to keep up a healthy diet. (maybe 3 times in 10 years)
