As anyone with real experience in Keto, you do not eat shit oils or fats. Particularly htdrigenated ones.
Speaking of oils.....
Dr. Berg - This Is One of the WORST Things You Can Eat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJFOF_VEwFs
What’s the one thing? I like Dr Berg, by the way, and subscribe to his channel.
This morning I made blackberry pancakes - yep Bisquick recipe calls for vegetable oil.
I almost always use olive oil but that just doesn’t work for pancakes.
My personal go to resource for the diet wars regarding Keto is Dr. Ken Berry, who prefers “A Proper Human Diet”, to what is called a Keto diet, because the marketing people and the big food people are glomming on to that label, and selling all sorts of crap that isn’t at all good for us humans.
Much of what is labeled “Keto” is NOT Scottish! (some of you will get that joke)
Such as seed oils, processed foods, artificial sweeteners, etc.
Dr. Berry has a website, and is very active on YouTube. Any of you with health issues might want to watch and read what he has to say.
dfw: I watched your Dr. Berg video linked in Comment #7 with interest. He described 3 groups of mice, all feed with alcohol, and a different fat with the alcohol—lard (pork fat), tallow (beef fat), and corn oil. The negatives for corn oil were very high. Then he said to avoid all seed oils, like cotton seed, canola, etc. which were typically extracted with a chemical process. He did not mention small specialty seed oils like sesame, or grape seed, which may be cold pressed or not extracted with noxoius chemicals as they are purchased by a more health conscious crowd. I would like to know more about other oil seeds like sunflower, pumpkin, and peanut, when not prepared with chemicals. He also gave recommendations on several meats, especially suggesting grass fed, or grass finished meats as more healthy and containing fewer potentially harmful elements by percentages. I encourage you to look at this video.
My early interest in health began as I watched my mother suffer with ugly vericose veins and open ulcers on the inside of her ankles. When I was 15 she had her veins stripped and was hospitalized while I stayed home from school and babysat for 4 days. I swore then I would never let myself get in her condition. My first baby was born at my age 31, and pink veins began to show up on my legs which began hurting late in the day. I refused to let myself be a martyr by working when in pain and lay down or put my feet up around 8 pm. Fortunately, I soon encountered Adelle Davis’s book Let’s Eat Right to Keep Fit, and by following her suggestions on supplements, in one month could stand up and work until midnight without leg pain.
I also needed an hour or 2 less sleep and began reading everything I could find about natural/nutriional health. This was in 1970 and after 2 years I had run out of popular health oriented books to read—about 1,000 hours of study. I had been a science major in college, but lacked key courses like organic chemistry to get much into hard science reading material. If I had been a person with stamina and money, I would probably have become a doctor. I had worked as a laboratory technician, so knew how to skim the professional literature for studies of interest. This came in very handy when Covid, and cancer entered my life space in 2020.
Over the years as various health issues affected me or my loved ones, I added supplements and modified our diets as I gained new information. I thus overcame back pain, repiratory allergies, and hypoglycemia. As I grew older, I encountered more supplements, many newer on the market or recognized for value, which continued to improve my health. Sometimes I decided I now needed a higher or lower dose of one or more supplements. Some work in the mental health area also was good for my overall health and wellbeing. I even ended up teach a 25 hour, ten session course in adult education titled “Nutrition for Health and Happiness.”
Now with the Internet, I have advised people with a named health problem to Google “Nutrition and supplements to Help _______________. Fill in back ache, heart disease, diabetes, immunity, etc. When the doctor told me I would soon need surgery for my cataracts, which are incurable, I thought NO!! and immediately with Google’s help found 3 or 4 supplements I was NOT taking, or had not even heard of. So I added some like Bilberry, Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Astaxanthin, and Blueberry/Eyebright. I feel my bright light sensitivity has improved about 70% over 3 years. I just had my eyes examined for my local government’s required annual cataract check, I asked my doctor if she could recommend every 2 years, rather than an annual check. After she had examined my eyes, she agreed to write in the change on the form.
Unfortunately I was pressured to take Covid shots, I chose J&J, if I wanted to have Thanksgiving Dinner with family in 2020. I was already angry with Fauci for leaving out virus stopper ZINC during his TV discussions with Trump about possible low cost useful Covid treatments in early April, which had been included in the same type of discussions in late March 2020. These discussions had been influenced by Dr. Zelenko’s letter, cc to President Trump and Chief of Staff, Meadows, dated 3/23/2020. I was horrified, but not shocked when Fauci later that spring told people Vitamins D and C were not helpful for improving immune health. I felt even worse when he announced a Covid study of “low cost medications HCQ and Azithromycin on hospitalized veterans. Dr. Zelenko had recommended VERY EARLY treatment of probable symptoms, using his 3 part protocol of Zinc, HCQ, and AZithromycin. Thus Fauci’s proposal of a Covid study in hospitalized patients and omitting the virus stopper ZINC was a plan to FAIL. Why was I NOT surprised when a few months later he was avidly promoting $3,000 a treatment drug, Remdesivir, produced by a company that was soon facing a class action lawsuit regarding some other drugs for unethical behavior leading to serious health injury in their customers? In late 2020, Fauci was finally forced, based on other studies, to agree that Vitamin D3 was probably a useful immune supplement.
While some experts had been disturbed regarding the rush job to get vaccines out to the public, Covid shots which came available in 2021, were soon being given far and wide, and even made a requirement for many jobs. Then people began reporting disturbing symptoms at rates higher than the early testing had suggested. These included serious heart and cancer issues. For me the most important study was the one regarding the IgG 1 thru 4 portion of the immune system. It appears that when subjects in this small study were first tested IgG4 was less than 1% of the total IgG system. After several Covid shots and some weeks later IgG4 was around 20% of the IgG system, and for some participants around 50%. These latter subjects were the ones who caught Covid. IgG2 which helps fight illness had almost completely disappeared at the same point. Apparently IgG4 becomes indifferent to allergens when people get repeated allergy shots, unfortunately it also seems to become indifferent to Covid infections.
TO DATE, I HAVE SEEN NO INFORMATION ABOUT A MUCH LARGER STUDY PLANNED TO STUDY THESE DISTURBING FINDINGS!!
In the fall of 2022, my brother was fighting metastatic liver cancer successfully. Spring 2023 he happily reported his liver cancers were shrinking and the doctors were talking about removing some of them. He also happily reported he had just taken his 4th Covid booster. My heart sank. I had just read the IgG information and not yet shared it with him. Two weeks later he was very sick, on much stronger chemo, and on the glide path to impending death.
Since my partner and my son were also dealing with cancer, I was doing a lot of on-line research. One study reported that very little Zinc was found in the cancer tissue of 9 common cancers, even though it could be normal or abundant in surrounding normal tissue. The scientists were enthusiastic about the use of supplemental zinc, and even proposed using an IONOPHORE to help get zinc into virus infected cancer cells. This was late spring 2020. I did not know about the ionophore they mentioned, but I did know that HCQ was an ionophore, and Quercetin, Resviratrol and others existed. By fall 2020, they were seriously less enthusiasic and subdued in their additional writings. Did Fauci tell them to STFU to protect his Remdesivir? I had immediately told my 3 cancer patients to add zinc and quercetin to their supplements.
I mentioned taking Astaxanthine for my cataracts. I also read that this supplement caused a speed up in the natural cell death (apoptosis) of cancer cells, while it helped normal cells live longer. Is this how it helps my cataract tissue? I immediately had sent my brother both zinc and astaxantin, and had my partner taking them as well. My partner and son are now in good health according to their doctors.
PLEASE URGE ANYONE WHO HAS APPROPRIATE INFLUENCE TO GET LARGE STUDIES STARTED ON THE IgG4 ISSUE. I believe the Covid shots really are killing people in a number of cases.
