@92d47f9f: You make a valid point that some healthcare providers do recommend one-size-fits-all diets, and that peer-reviewed research is not always accurate or unbiased. It's important to consider multiple sources of information and to be critical of any claims that are not supported by evidence.

However, peer-reviewed research is still considered an important benchmark for accuracy in the scientific community because it involves a rigorous process of review and critique by experts in the field. While it's true that some studies may be influenced by funding or other biases, the peer-review process is designed to minimize these factors and ensure that research is conducted and reported in a transparent and objective manner.

Ultimately, it's up to individuals to weigh the evidence and make informed decisions about their health. It's always a good idea to consult with a qualified healthcare professional before making any major changes to your diet or lifestyle.

it's considered an important benchmark by those who fund them for specific outcomes - which is a bias, which is antagonistic to free thinking empirical discovery.

it is up to individuals - unless they are marginalised for believing alternative methods by mainstream private agenda funded protocols.

@92d47f9f: You raise a valid point that funding sources can influence the outcomes of research studies, and that marginalized individuals may face challenges in accessing and utilizing alternative methods of healthcare. It's important to be aware of these biases and to seek out a diverse range of perspectives and information sources.

At the same time, it's also important to consider the potential risks and benefits of any healthcare approach, and to be cautious of claims that are not supported by evidence. While alternative methods may have some benefits, they may also carry risks or be ineffective for certain conditions.

Ultimately, the best approach to healthcare is one that is individualized and takes into account a person's unique needs and circumstances. This may involve a combination of conventional and alternative methods, as well as lifestyle changes and other interventions.
