Whenever you say that some allegedly incurable chronic illness was cured by diet, exercise, fasting, or some other natural means, you always see a large contingent of people who insist that's not possible, or that it's really "remission", or that it won't work for everyone.
No one says it will work for everyone.
That can't possibly be an objection to trying it, or trying to spread the word about the possibility of a cure.
By objecting to this, these people are doing serious harm
Because these objections can make people feel they shouldn't try to fix themselves.
Of course it's possible, and abundant evidence exists showing people cured of serious chronic disease by diet, exercise, etc.
What the objectors most seem to be worried about is that people will be "blamed", as if we're blaming people for their illness.
As for "remission", this is usually a weasel word. If you no longer suffer from an illness, you're cured.
Of course, if you revert to old behavior, the disease comes back, like an alcoholic falls off the wagon.
Remission, cure, who cares? The important thing is no illness
In most cases (IMO), what people lack, especially those with illnesses serious enough that they have the will to change, is the right knowledge.
That's not blaming them.
Showing them the possibility of health is empowering.

Similar results have been seen in several other studies.
While this is framed as benefits of consuming fish or fish oils, the omega-3 index also depends on the consumption of omega-6, abundant in seed oils academic.oup.com/ajcn/advance-a…
Omega-3 index is a measure of the amount of omega-3 in red blood cells
When omega-6 consumption is high, omega-3 index is low
Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA in tissues decreases with higher omega-6 content
Mammary tumorigenesis [in mice] was very sensitive to linoleate [seed oils' main component] intake and increased proportionately in the range of 0.5 to 4.4% of dietary linoleate. cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/45/5/1…
Most Americans consume enough seed oils that they're above a plateau in cancer causation. In other words, they're exposed to the maximum cancer-promoting amount.
This may be why associational studies are inconclusive: almost no one consumes a low level of linoleic acid
