Yeah. I've made my own salad dressings forever because I don't like a lot of the store-bought ingredients. Considering I don't want my salads to be super calorie-dense, I only use like 10 -15% oil.

Yes! Lots of folks with chronic illness find themselves in a limbo where they can't get decent treatment or often precise diagnosis. Crowdsourcing relief has mixed results, but in such circumstances reports of rigorous trial and error with various approaches is sometimes helpful in the absence of the sort of care a lot of Americans now can't even hope for.

I got really sick and debilitated. Got a grim prognosis that I'd just get worse. Got me to really take my health seriously and do all I personally could through a lot of trial and error to see what might make for a better quality of life.
