While I agree that it sounds like a scam (I wouldn't pay 20 dollars, or any amount, for it), I don't think that just because "doctors" don't already know about such methods to help one get well again, or if they do have head knowledge of such things, yet don't promote it as part of their practice, doesn't mean there can't be value/truth in it. I got well again after 8 years of UC after following an antifungal diet (I still have IBS-D tendancies so I continue to eat a modified version of that diet to keep my symptoms away), after research and experimenting on my own. None of my doctors ever once offered such an theory (fungus) to be the culprit of my symptoms. They actually discounted it and poo-pooed it when I brought the possibility up to them. Does that mean fungus doesn't exist, or cause health problems? As well, the fungal premise/diet from which I learned is offered FREE on a website that represents the author's research. People are also hesitant to try new things that are even free, especially when it appears so easy (except for giving up the one thing they love the most...-their favorite foods!)and doesn't cost anything. Or, will put it down before trying it themselves.
We cling to the comfort of the doctor always being right, but we sometimes need to take our health into our own hands. Doctors are definitely necessary in our world, but they don't always know everything. They are practically taught how to diagnose symptoms and prescribe medications.
