Summary
Uses a probiotic MAF (MAF 878, roughly $100/month) alongside dietary changes, describing the combination as putting her "into FULL remission... From bed bound to hiking up mountains." The remission is not permanent: she has "gone off and on everything that is part of this for the past two years - and every time the remission goes and comes back," i.e. it recurs reliably with re-treatment but lapses if she stops or has an inflammatory flare. She explicitly rejects a placebo explanation given how reproducible the effect has been for her.
