Hi Wally,
Your comment has me confused.....
In reply to:
For Ebringer’s studies to cover the full range of those diagnosed with AS today he would have to include the worst cases of mis-diagnosis by the most incompetent rheumatologist. Can you be sure he did? Because if he didn’t, the ones he left out could be the ones who don’t respond to diet.
If they are mis-diagnosed with AS, but in fact do not have AS we would expect they would respond to the diet. Or are you stating this would be further evidence because we would not expect them to respond to the diet.
Interested in what you believe is a proper diagnosis for AS... maybe you shared in a previous post and I missed it. What are the symptoms of your friend that exercises (HLA B27 +/-, family history, ESR etc...).
Tim
