> But I don't think you should go around telling people that a keto diet will cure them of their psychosis

They didn't say this. They described their own experience. Read their message again. You are, in fact, criticising the post for something not written in it.

> People should make their medical decisions based on consultation with their doctors or other medical professionals

This is exactly what the user described as their experience.

If you, god forbid, ever have a life-destroying ailment and discover a shockingly effective treatment for it, please tell many people what happened for you just as the user above is doing.

this idea of espousing effective cures loses a lot of steam when the patient in question was cured by psychic healing, quartz crystals, or energy projection.

That's why there should exist a level of self-moderation with regards to cure cheerleading; did the psychic crystal surgery remove the cancer, or did your body make a natural recovery? Many would be inclined to believe that the crystal made the difference, and that's a dangerous public opinion.
