Wow, that is just terrible to be in treatment for over a year and actually getting worse (yikes!) and people telling you to just hang in there. It is people like that that give alternative medicine a bad name. I have followed bad advice in the past and made myself a whole lot worse but at least I was the one making the mistakes; the whole reason to consult with someone is so that you don't have to go through this type of experience. I have no doubt that the NB method could help some people, specifically people that need to increase the fire energy in the body, for all others, eating large amounts of meat is extremely acidifying to the body and will make matters worse.
