These threads begin with an idea and become a contest of opinions with people standing on oppossing sides. In the end they usually just fizzle out without anything meaningful being achieved. Seems we could be heading down the same path again. We really need a transparent database of what has and hasn’t worked then we can make more informed decisions.
PFS doesn’t just happen overnight for everyone so the fact that recovery took time to achieve is entirely plausible and should not be discounted.
Most people wait until it’s too late before they are willing to change. They are happy to live with the pain if it’s a comfortable pain. Many of these recoveries require people to go to extremes and many are simply happy enough to live with their condition if it’s comfortable. This is a limiting fear belief. Your brain doesn’t want you to change and avoid fear of the unknown.
