Why eggs? Even if free range?

Subject: Polymyalgia rheumatica
out to have
some version of a leaky gut/molecular mimicry connection. Here's what he
said:
Forbidden for life:
All cereal grains: Wheat (spelt, einkorn, durum, emmer, kamut), barley,
rye, triticale, oats, rice, corn, maize, wild rice, sorghum, millet, teff,
amaranth, buckwheat, fonio, breadnut, cockscomb, cattail, chia, wattleseed
(acacia), Goosefoots (quinoa, pitseed, kańiwa)
Eggs of any kind.
Dairy of any kind.
Nuts and seeds of any kind.
NSAIDs of any kind.
Nightshades (tomato, pepper, eggplant, potato).
Alcohol.
Antacids that contain aluminum hydroxide.
Oral contraceptives.
Iodine (if you have Hashimoto's).
(I'm not sure why he didn't specifically mention legumes, but I would add
them to the list.)
What he doesn't seem to acknowledge is that molecular mimicry and
autoimmunity can also happen in response to an infectious agent, such as a
virus. I saw some discussion of PMR and GCA possibly being triggered by an
unknown infectious agent.
Posting this to the Paleofood list, in case anyone else wants to chime in.
Thanks,
Hilary
