> So the author was “prescribed” a cocktail of 5 supplements, found they could eat more protein afterward, and then assumed that Boswelia was the solution? Did I miss something, or did they just assume 1 of the 5 supplements was the solution?

The author isn’t explicit, but it seems like the pills were prescribed over a period of time, possible separately, possibly overlapping. The author describes using a spreadsheet up correlate which pills coincided with what dietary changes and identifying it that way. So it wasn’t an assumption, but it wasn’t definite either until it was properly tested.

> The author doesn’t even seem to realize that Boswelia is a notable anti-microbial

The author explains that they researched Boswelia and it’s mechanisms of action, so while they don’t explain everything they know about it in the article, assuming they don’t know basic facts about it seems unreasonable.
