I agree Philsta.
Even when googling scientific terms you can be directed to Kickas.
Even a cursory glance at Kickas will indicate many people are helped to varying degrees by removing starch from their diet.
To discount their experiences as nothing more than a placebo effect is disrespectful - to say the least.
Not to even know of the diet doesn't say much ....
I can't wait for the day when modern medicine announces its 'discovery' of the LSD/NSD.
