He decided he could monetize his recovery by selling the "the cure" on a newsletter basis and using organic growth to make more money.

As he does point out he is not a doctor and his solution is not backed by extensive medical studies.

He could just write a document laying it all out, and letting people download it, easier for everyone.

(and try to get some researchers do the chekcing).

This is damn close to snakeoil.

I appreciate your skepticism.

> by selling the "the cure" on a newsletter basis and using organic growth to make more money.

I am not selling anything, the information from what is happening -> to how to recover (if it is relevant to you) is and will be freely available on this substack. It is not paywalled and I'm not intending for it to be.

Additionally where are you quoting "the cure" from? I will be sharing information for people to use to self assess if it applies to them. Recovery from chronic pain is rarely simple as your quote implies - instead it requires daily concentrated effort.

Please read this study from 2021: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34586357/

This is a valid point and I'll see how I can integrate it into future pieces, even if it's just collaborating with (legitimate) researchers. Thanks.

Something to understand is until yesterday no one knew I was in this space. Me DM'ing a researcher and asking them to vet my writing would likely have at best resulted in them letting me know they're busy. That likely isn't the case anymore.

Happy to discuss this in more depth. I don't see which part is comparable to snakeoil.
