I have heard of anecdotal reports where a dairy-free or gluten-free diet
cleared it up. More of the former than the later. Then in W.J. Lutz's
article "The Colonisation of Europe and Our Western Diseases", where he
blames ills in grain consumption he writes:

"In over thirty years of clinical practice, I have found, as published in
numerous papers and several books (3, 4), that diet works well against
Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, heart failure,
acne and other problems."

But nuts have hard protective shells to keep animals from eating them. They
don't need toxins to keep them from being eaten.

To an extent. Berries, with very small seeds, would have the seeds digested
if the animal eating them was bigger than a bird. So they have thorns to
discourage large animals from eating the fruit.
