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...
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.
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.
(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.
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.
It’s all so confusing. I was convinced this was the way to go, but my daughter has gone vegan and wanted me to look into it, so I watched “Forks Over Knives”.
All plant based, no dairy, and NO OIL, shouts Dr. Esselstyn (Bill Clinton’s post heart attack diet guru).

I was told that only horrid nasty OP drugs could reverse the -4 OP, well I can’t take any med that has A-Fib attached to it and all OP drugs are Flagged for it, already had 2 ER trips because of them. I use only bone Vits/Minerals, and after 4 yrs, have dropped the OP score to -3. With improvement in all but 2 areas, which were the worst.
This just in: a guy in Iowa invented a carburetor that gets 100 mpg, but the evil oil companies bought it from him and hid it on a shelf in a big warehouse somewhere......
Back in the 1970’s it was big oil. Today it’s big pharma. Zzzzzzzzzzzz
Yes, everyone on the hundreds of thousands of highly-educated employees of pharma companies are in on the fix!

Wolfie, has this article been taken down? The link doesn’t work and I can’t find it at the site. I’m wondering why. BUT I agree with so much of what he’s written and what FReepers have said here.
