Your agenda is showing.
Dr. Atkins did slip on ice because of a widely reported ice storm on April 8th, 2003. He developed a massive subdural and went into autonomic system failure.
Part of the treatment for autonomic failure is the massive infusion of fluids to raise blood pressure. Dr. Atkins was 195lbs entering the hospital and retained 63lbs of additional fluids during the time he was in a coma. The large hematoma was removed from his brain (lapsing into a coma) and he was put a ventilator. Per his pre-accident medical directive, he was removed on the 17th from life support and died.
Dr. Atkins lost consciousness during emergency transport and was unable to talk, however fellow medical staff witnessed the fall.
Dr. Atkins suffered from
cardiomyopathy for three years before his death.
Two years earlier, the American Heart Association had pointed out that cardiomyopathies were either confined to the heart or were part of a generalized disorder, both often leading to death or progressive heart failure. Both groups excluded heart disease due to coronary artery disease, hypertension, abnormalities of the heart valves, and heart disease present at birth from the definition.
The autopsy results were illegally obtained by a member of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). The
PCRM are a PETA front group.
The PCRM was sanctioned, but never prosecuted for their illegal activity.
The PCRM are a vegan special interest group that used Atkins death as part of a disinfo campaign.
Are you a member of PETA?
Are you a member of PETA? No, I grew up riding horses and helping raise our family's beef cattle, hogs, goats, and chickens. We ate them all and still do.
My only agenda is trying to keep people from following horrific nutritional advice from a dead crackpot. I helped perform CPR on so many fat out of shape men during my 25 year career that the thought of my friends ending up the same way really bothers me. These were mostly needless preventable deaths.
You are free to believe whatever you want. I only want to remind you that 1 out of 4 men in this country die from heart disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men in this country. It is not the wisest course of action to play these kinds of games with the health of your heart. I know this from bitter experience.
