Do you think the fraudulent medical racket in America makes more money off a sick gaijin, or a healthy gaijin?

Do you think the fraudulent medical racket in America makes more money off a sick gaijin, or a healthy gaijin?
Thank you! Will keep that in mind. And no matter what, we feel better, look better, and have more energy.
That is exactly right!
You’re in, #21!
Yup!
There’s no money in cures.
Docs, hospitals, and especially drug companies hate disease...?
Noooooooo way in hell.
There’s no way.
Chronic disease to them is like drug crime is to cops:
The war will be fought juuuuuuuust enough to provide an eternal standstill.
And not ONE nanometer more.
The standstill is protected, precious PROPERTY.
large quantities of carbohydrates is the worst thing most people can do to their bodies... particularly highly processed ones.
Keep your carbs under 100 a day, and unless you have a specific health reason to avoid fats stop worrying about them
This gives an idea of what VLDL and LDL carry, in normal percentages for people:
https://www.healthline.com/health/vldl-vs-ldl#ldl
You will note LDL for Joe Blow has as its content 25% protein. This, coupled with the small percentage of fat it carries, could explain why LDL creeps up for awhile.
Once I get to my target weight, I will probably add in a few more carbs, but from low-glycemic fruits, and I will eat some more legumes, which are things that are discouraged on a Keto diet.
Just want to quickly tuck in here before post 50:
It’s verrrrry common to pass through KETO FLU, which generally lasts 3 or 4 days, when you first start going keto.
Brain fog, low energy and risk of nearly pooping your GD pants about 3 or 4 times.
Nice, eh..? Should make you really popular.
But after you get through it the other side is FINE.
Honesty in advertising, and all that, sorry..!
Actually, that's not quite true. The WORST thing is eating high carbs with high fats together.
Keto is hard on the kidneys.

Some info for your consideration.
Does a High Protein Diet cause Kidney Disease? [WARNING: Myth Alert]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjQColM-q44

https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb-bad-kidneys
Dr. Jason Fung (nephrologist):
Dr. Fung: So, there’s two situations, if you have normal kidney function and you eat a high-protein diet and keeping in mind that we often recommend moderate proteins, high fat, low carbohydrate, but if you were to eat a high-protein diet, there’s really no evidence that it would cause kidney damage.
Now, if you have pre-existing kidney disease, there is a worry that the high-protein increases the level of strain on your kidneys and because you have the underlying kidney disease, it can’t take it. That’s fairly severe, kind of moderate to advanced kidney disease.
So, there’s definitely a bit of truth in that, that if you have kidney disease already, then you should be a little bit careful that you don’t eat excessive amounts of dietary protein. But if you don’t have kidney disease to begin with, then, really there’s no evidence that the high-protein diet is detrimental.
Now, keeping in mind, of course, again, I’m not advocating for extremely high levels of protein in the diet I generally advise people to stick to a moderate amount and increase the amount of natural fats
I eased into doing Keto, so I never got the “Keto Flu”, I just gradually decreased my Carb intake over the course of several weeks and eased into it.
IMHO, that's the keys to successful Keto, finding the amount of carbs to maintain your target weight. Currently, I am at my target weight and 50 to 60 carbs per day is my magic number.
Strawberries and blueberries with pecans smothered in heavy cream is my favorite add on.
..... whether they are even PERMITTED to talk about it, much less recommend it. And there’s a whole story in that area.

Podcast & info you might be interested in that covers this subject - people such as Dr. Fettke & Professor Noakes are being threatened, charged/persecuted for going against the establishment (the big food/pharma ‘Deep State’):
Where the heck did these crazy nutritional guidelines come from, anyway? Revisionist history with Gary Fettke, MD
https://carnivoremd.com/where-the-heck-did-these-crazy-nutritional-guidelines-come-from-anyway-revisionist-history-with-gary-fettke-md/
Note last paragraph below ...... Gary was pretty much persecuted - recently ‘cleared’:
In recent years Gary has focussed on the role of diet in the development of diabetes, obesity and cancer. He has been speaking out internationally on the combined role of sugar, fructose, refined carbohydrates and polyunsaturated oils linking together to be behind inflammation and modern disease.
Gary remains committed to understanding the central role of nutrition in everything ranging from our health issues to its role in influencing education, the environmental impact, economics, politics and belief systems.
He has incurred the wrath of regulatory bodies for his stand on public health, but he and his wife, Belinda, remain active defending the benefits of low carb healthy fat living. Their ongoing work has uncovered the vested interests and ideologies shaping nutritional guidelines at an international level.

Breaking news ... AHPRA drop all charges!
We are very excited, and relieved to be able to share the news that AHPRA (the Australian Health Practitioner’s Regulation Agency) have dropped all charges against Gary after 4 1/2 years of us insisting that he had done nothing wrong. No incident of patient harm nor patient complaint having been identified. Not only have they cleared Gary’s name of any wrong-doing, they have even apologised in writing!

Professor Tim Noakes (South Africa) also cleared:
Professor Tim Noakes Found Innocent!

Thanks! Didn’t know that Australia went after Dr. Noakes. I knew from his videos that South Africa put him on trial to keep his license and he won that case.
While I don’t know about South Africa, particularly these days, Australia is a MAJOR player in this game, and they have far more meat than they know what to do with. I suspect that the whole country could go low carb and not skip a beat - whereas that would be much tougher for most other countries.

Yes on Noakes/South Africa. Dr. Fettke was Australia.
Ok, that makes sense. Thanks much!
For me I try to keep it simple. Eat a balanced diet, meats, dairy, fish, carbs, veggies, fruits, green smoothies and red wine. Sweet snacks are ok too but not too much. Moderate amounts of food, exercise and rest. Never been significantly overweight in my life and although have to take meds to keep the BP in check no other major health issues at age 63.
Have some small steaks marinating and waiting to be grilled. I try not to overdo anything.
