This is a classic example, frequently paired with a bunch of pseudoscience and smart sounding nonsense. Even if it weren’t personally offensive to me as an MS patient (diagnosed in 2001, when I in my late teens, and not for nothing—a soccer player and vegetarian in otherwise very good physical shape) this kind of speculative alternative health stuff muddies the water so that when looking for legitimate, bonafide information for autoimmune disorders and treatments, one has to sift through vast torrents of frequently difficult to distinguish bullshit. They go out of their way to appear legit, spend tons of money to push dis-/misinformation, and/or poison the well of mainstream science and research.
