spoiler tags and content warnings [cw]Hexbear CoC
for sensitive content that falls under Hexbear's Code of Conduct. You can find the spoiler tag here:

Alt Text of imageAlt text of image: a screenshot of a comment box and its editing options, with a dark theme, grey and dark grey background with white text. A skinny white arrow points to the "spoiler" option, which is an exclamation point inside of a diamond, and the 13th or second-from-the-last icon in the middle of the photo and at the top of the light grey comment box that reads "Type here to comment..." in white italic font

After clicking it, substitute the second "spoiler" with your content warning and the three underscores ( ___ ) with your sensitive content.


As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:

"Disability" is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.

Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.

Have you heard of Dr Joel Fuhrman? He's a doctor and nutritionist who has written a lot about autoimmune issues, his website might have some useful info. He is American though. He tends to cite his sources.

    He's a quack, and he cites things dishonesty. He also blames people's chronic health problems solely on their diets.

    While what he recommends, a mostly vegan and pretty healthy diet, is all well and good, he affords diet excessive power and those who fail to adhere to a "good" diet excessive blame.

    To quote Dr. Peter Lipson in his criticism of Fuhrman https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/your-disease-your-fault/

    As physicians, our job is to use the best available evidence to help all of our patients. It is not to dispense false promises, fake science, and a heaping portion of blame to those who don’t do everything we tell them to.
