“If we cannot have fun with each other on here without being offended, how can be make fun of all of the PC idiots for being offended.”
More than one person here didn’t take it as a jest, FWIW.
“I notice when you post and it just seemed like all of a sudden you were posting “natural cures they do not want you to know about†(and THAT was sarcasm too, not meant to be offensive.)”
Funny that you should say that, “natural cures they do not want you to know about.” I’m really not one to pursue the homeopathic type remedies and so forth, however, you may have no idea how close to the truth that remark goes. No matter what you want to call it, it is nothing but astounding to witness just how steadfast the medical community is towards withholding certain types of lifesaving and life changing medical information from their patients. My recent personal experience is just one of millions of examples. Not one physician in decades every disclosed the existence of very low carbohydrate diets or ketogenic diets as a therapeutic treatment for diabetes, which is eerily similar experience to the real life experience of the epileptic patients depicted in the movie linked in one of these videos. My own physician was surprisingly supportive once I used my personal research to suggest its use, but never suggested it is one of the possible means of treatment. Reading between the lines it seemed as though the physician was relieved I had finally found the solution without the physician’s help and was perhaps not responsible for departing from some kind of standard of car that could make the physician and medical license liable. Nonetheless, the physician suggested I needed to see a specialist about the diet. After an extended period of contacting every one of the several dozen endocrinologist within a radius of about 100 miles, not one was experienced and/or willing to support a patient using a ketogenic diet. When I reported this experience back to the general practitioner, they were not at all surprised. Given the way in which this diet has been used for centuries as a treatment for Type II Diabetes and the mayo Clinic used the same diet as a standard medical procedure in 1920 and decades later, any rational person has to wonder why today’s medical community withholds information about this formerly standard medical treatment from tens of millions of diabetic patients who will only progressively get worse as time goes on.
Thinking I might get lucky enough to find some kind of a resource listing endocrinologists who do support patients using a ketogenic diet as a treatment for diabetes, I telephoned one of the office of one of the doctors that made one of these videos. I had expected one of the receptionists to answer the telephone call and refer my request for a resource to contact a suitable endocrinologist. instead, the doctor answered the call himself. We had a short and very interesting conversation, but he wasn’t able to help me find such an endocrinologist. He observed that I was going to be very lucky to find one at all. My general practitioner later agreed. in other words, there is more than a little truth to the belief that there are some proven medical treatments the present day medical community is withholding from their patients.
Talking about politics, this immediate situation is one small part of the larger medical failure and non-scientific dogma surrounding the fraudulent medical publications by Ancel Keys relating to the role of fats in heart disease. So far the scientific hoax of Global Warming or Climate Change has not taken anywhere near the number of lives worldwide caused by Ancel Keys, organizations, and governments responsible for the epidemic of heart disease.
My wife is a physician and a strong advocate of LCHF. She is not in private practice anymore, but she told me that if she were, she would have a difficult time treating diabetes patients with an LCHF diet. That is because, if a doctor doesn't prescribe what is called the "standard of care," then they are liable to lawsuits as well as censure from the medical authorities.
My wife knows that the prevailing "standard of care" for diabetes, heart disease, etc is wrong in many ways, but the system would constrain her from treating the patients as she would see fit. So were she still in practice, she would feel pressure to continue the dogmatic failed treatments that she was taught. This is one reason she left practice.
From our experience though, for the vast majority of doctors, it it a matter of ignorance more than anything else. They were taught the diet-fat-heart hypothesis. And that is what they know. Dietary fat causes high cholesterol. High cholesterol causes heart disease. To remedy this you tell patients to avoid fat and always give a statin. No one gets sued for prescribing a statin.
The few, like my wife, who know better, either leave the system, take a great risk by going against the established dogma or go along to get along.
It is now the responsibility of the patients, as free-thinking individuals, to do their own research about diet and health. Use the medical system as a resource, but do not give doctors full authority over your body or your health. That is why information sharing, like you are doing here, is so important.
Keep it up.
