PaleoCH,
Glad the links were of interest. If you google "molecular mimickry" (spelling?) or that term in conjunction with the word "arthritis" or "RA" you will probably get lots of interesting articles to browse, too.
In the case of IBD, Lutz emphasizes that in hisnpatients' cases, it can take years for the vicious cycle to tame down, with lots of backsliding here and there but with each flare being on average milder and milder, less frequent, etc etc.. and that dietary change is far from instantaneous in its effect. I have been LCing for my IBD for over 6 years and still have ups and downs i.e. flares, though I know of some others who did react more fully, much faster (months).
I think that diet, like everything,
is a component but not the whole story, but that every piece we can take out of auto-inflammatory activity makes for much better quality of life and increases the odds of other natural cures being able to take effect too. Besides, you and I benefit from the LC WOE in other ways.
