I’m a physician and at his age new onset of autoimmune disease is rare. What seems more likely to me is that the weird shit he’s been putting in his body caused it to trigger

is it even possible to track his progress when Johnson is using every supplement under sun for the sake of "health"? i can't fathom how. and does using 30 docs at once really yield better results than say... 5-10?
it just all sounds so fabricated

There's nothing to compare it to even if everything can be tracked. He thinks he's doing the scientic community a favor but he's really not. A sample size of 1 isn't going to yield any ussble results if there's nothing to compare it to.

Sample size of 1 isn’t the problem. Sample size can always be addressed by repeating the experiment 

Variable count is the real problem, even if one of the 9000 things he does, actually works, there will be no way to tell for sure which thing it was

Sample size can't be addressed by repeating the same experiment. That's not how it works. Believe it or not humans don't share the same exact chemistry between them. Between that and genes it would never work running the same experiment on the same person several times. It's useless data. There's a reason when clinical trials are done they choose more than 2 people. Defending this guy isn't going to make what he's doing scientifically significant.

if repetition can’t increase sample size, then neither can parallelism 

I don’t think you know what you’re saying at all, and I know for sure you don’t know what I said because you accused me of defending a guy who I absolutely am not
