Generally speaking, this is not the place to discuss amateur medical takes. Not only is it a bad idea a-la offering financial advice, but nobody on this site is guaranteed to be qualified to know if this is a right or wrong post. There could be a thousand comments on the submission before a single qualified person comes in to say it's all hogwash. In general it's just not worth the risk associated with this sort of topic. I tend to flag most health-related submissions that are not written by a qualified medical professional.

I'm not sure why it's being autoflagged (maybe just because it's from Medium), but this is the sort of content that would probably end up flagged manually anyways. Sorry.
