Eczema/rashes beyond like poison ivy and oak. I had an allergic reaction for the first time in my life, at about 30, and it was the first time I got huge rashes on my legs and feet and I could hardly walk for like 2 days. Went away pretty quick but I've got a lot more sympathy for chronic sufferers now
What is a medical condition more serious than people realize?

I've had flare ups of severe eczema across my whole life. Sometimes it's almost impossible to do anything but wallow in the itch and the pain and the flaky yuck.

T2 diabetes has effectively been cured, but you don't want to know about it, because vegans apparently. Great, nicely done, you sure owned those vegans. There should be fucking tickertape parades in the street because no one ever has to suffer from T2 diabetes again, but when the news came out, no one gave a single fuck. T2 is self inflicted, and to get rid of it, all you have to do is stop inflicting it on yourself and allow your body to heal. Every proven intervention requires the cessation of consumption of animal products. That's just the facts. But can't do that, it's too vegan. What the fuck ever.
Vegans don't mention veganism nearly as often as carnists mention consuming animals. If your culture war is literally killing you and your loved ones, maybe you're on the wrong fucking side.

This doesn't match my reading of the literature. Can you share the published papers on the vegan approach to reversing T2D?
Here is a published 5 year study on reversing T2D that doesn't involve the cessation of animal sourced foods https://hackertalks.com/post/7487475

Funny you should mention it.
T2D has a demonstrated 40% reversal rate in a 5 year study using just a ketogenic diet. Animal food optional, but it won't hurt a ketogenic metabolism to eat animal foods.
Though some T2D has been resolved with the rice diet in the 1950s, which suggests that a major source of insulin resistance (a key component of T2D) is inflammation from dysfunction in the randel cycle.
TLDR: people who have T2D have a extreme form of carbohydrate intolerance, so they do much better if they don't eat carbs

Yes, I have about a 75% chance to get a cough each autumn, which typically lasts around 3-4 months. The worst is when people who you are around constantly, like family, start expressing their annoyance. Sorry, it's not like I can just stop! And everyone says "just take some cough syrup". No, the cough syrup doesn't do shit!

Anti-medical movements are making me really worried about strep throat. Today it is mostly known as a mild infection kids get but without antibiotics it can be pretty deadly and cause permanent disabilities pretty frequently. The more parents who take their kids to chiropractors or use essential oils instead of going to real doctors, the more kids who will be permanently disabled or die from a disease that has been essentially cured. I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen more of this among some religious communities already.

Impaired metabolism affects 96% of adults in the west in 2021, I'm sure it hasn't improved since then.
Poor metabolism has huge systemic impacts over the entire body, it's the largest medical issue facing humanity
Impaired metabolic function presents with increased risk of
- hypertension
- obesity
- ectopic fat in the airway (snoring)
- type 2 diabetes
- cancer
- PCOS
- inflammation
- Alzheimer's and dementia
- gout
- cardio vascular disease
As a illustrative example there are nearly a billion people with diagnosed type 2 diabetes globally, right now. The US alone spends a over a billion USD per day dealing with diabetes complications.
