Karl might want to stick to financial matters.
Insulin is bad. Got it.
With exception to the cited study, I equally-berate those responsible for this paradigm, but my excoriation is both more broad and excoriating.
He is almost 100% spot-on, without regard for a serious omission of why this got him all excited.
Sadly, most people don’t give a damn. This includes most here at FR.
One example, Celiac patients are told there’s no cure, yet it was being cured 70 years ago...
More that insulin is masking the issue.
Saves lives. But we have more diabetes than ever before.
The statin comments are similar. They do help some, but they are not the magic bullet that many thought they were.
How was it cured 70 years ago?
The new research in "gut flora", may be causing some diabetes in some patients. Antibiotics are good, to a point, but over use is destroying our bodies natural ability to fight infection.
Why is that? He happens to be correct in his analysis...look around you....then look at pictures of people in the 1st half of the 1900s. Oh, and look at our medical system too...
Statin drugs attack the bones, and so any benefit is lost in side effects. I won’t take them, and tell others to use diet as a way to control cholesterol. There are natural spices and ways to eat that will help more than statins.
The epidemic of diabetes lies more in diet than heredity, although we learn from growing up with family foods and eating habits. After 35+ years of saying how dangerous Dr. Atkins diet wad, and low fat the solution, CARDIOLOGIST, those with success, now say that low fat destroys the heart. I agree.
Ever notice how EVERYTHING has sugar in it! How to you stop diabetes if all processed foods have sugar in them? Poor people do not have option of always buying fresh, and expensive foods not tainted with sugar. There are other ways to preserve food without sugar!
Also, we need to have doctors in med school learn the basics on parasites, pets, and children. Because without getting those cleanses regularly once or twice a year, there will be diseases and physical issues, that are complicated by more pills without addressing the root cause!
I have a Physician/neighbor/friend that sold me on this idea years ago.
Cholesterol is a protective substance that is produced by the body in excess due to any of a number of different underlying causes.
Limiting the body’s production of cholesterol has no health benefits whatsoever and is actually counter productive.
The statin producers and their co-dependent physician accomplices are the real criminals.
So where does this leave us?
In Dead Man Ally.
I feel the same way about hand sanitizers.
My cousin is a director of a large pharma company. Listening to him talk, in a positive vein, about his business, I always come away with the difference between him and the corner drug dealer: His firm pushes legal drugs. See, a drug dealer may sell you heroin which you use because it makes you feel good. It is illegal and not FDA controlled. My cousin’s firm sells/pushes drugs they say are good for you and are controlled (as in by patent).
Recently he was telling me his firm just lost the rights to a drug which has gone generic which will cost billions in revenues. I asked, based on experience, why not just make a drug that combines two, rename it, get a new patent and go forward. He laughed and said they used to do that but lost a court case on making such marketing ploys.
Seems I used to take one of these marketing ploys. My doc said he was told a “new drug” would allow me to take two drugs but in one capsul. Of course, the two by themselves had generics, the one capsule had the two generics being marketed as a propriety drug. I wonder if one of the drug sales reps in the short skirts who used to visit the doctors office representing drug companies suggested the single tablet concept to boost sales. Of course they did!
(1) there is a strong association of cell phone use with brain cancer
(2) there is a strong association between breast cancer and previous abortions
(3) there is a strong association between breast cancer and alcohol consumption
(4) there is a strong association between breast cancer and use of birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy
(5) many cases of breast cancer are unnecessarily aggressively treated with chemo, surgery and radiation ... severely degrading the quality of life for the patient, without life prolonging benefit.
What did he write that’s wrong?
I have lived my whole life eating what my body told me it wanted. And it’s mostly fresh fruits and vegetables and meats.
I’ve eaten real butter my whole life, whole milk, REAL cheese (not cheese-like substances) and avoided things in a box or, to a lesser extent, a can.
And I am healthier than any one else in my family.
Here’s my advice.
When you shop, go to the fresh meat and fresh produce aisles and dairy.
There is nothing else you want to eat in any other aisle.
THROW AWAY anything in your house that is not fresh fruit, vegetables, or meat. Frozen veggies are OK but of course not preferred.
And - most of all - stop eating wheat in all forms. Bread, noodles, etc. Eat whole grain rice (brown rice) instead. I also take vitamins- ask me for a list if you’re interested. Don’t bother buying expensive ‘gluten-free’ crap- it tastes like crap.
In a month you’ll see a huge difference.
If this seems hard- or expensive- It’s not- because as your system cleans out, you will find you are less hungry- some days I have to remind myself to eat something.
If you want an easy way to remember-
1) scrambled eggs for breakfast (with onions, green peppers, ham, cheese, whatever)
2) steak or chicken salad for lunch/dinner. Not JUST a salad, the protein makes all the difference
3) pepperoni and cheese, or yogurt, or meat slices for snacks.
Use honey wherever possible instead of sugar.
Read up on natural antibiotic foods- sauerkraut and minced garlic is an amazing antibiotic.
It is true that anyone put on thyroid medication will develop diabetics.
There are all kinds of cause and affects going on in medicine.
Yup. They had limited diets and worked hard, i.e. exercised a lot.
"We were also told that weight was all about calorie balance. In .vs. out, thus the exhortation to exercise -- to increase the "out" and to restrict calories, in order to decrease the "in."

It doesn't work because it's all a lie and the people who ran it knew it was a lie..."
For starters.
