Problems are 1)funding 2)get it through an ethical commity

Dr Annika Dahlqvist puts all her revinues from the selling of her books into a research fund, but it will take a long time before that would be able to finance a large study. Here are some of the ideas that has come up here som far:

Make a small randomized dietary intervention study on diabetics already scheduled for amputations of feets and see if the intervention could reverse the need for amputation. This idea actually came quite far but was ruled out as “unethical” by established reserchers.

Another idea would be to make a randomized dietary intervention trial om people who had already suffered a heart attack. Mortality in this group is so high that a trial could reach statistical significanse on “hard endpoints” in a few years with only some hundreds of participants.
