Calley Means Interview: Confessions of a Big-food Insider

[@para0677able]

I was labeled as being bipolar with severe depression, anxiety, mood swings etc. My doctors wanted to put me on all kinds of medications, including SSRI’s. Then one day about a year ago, I stumbled onto your channel and a few other Holistic practitioners and started researching everything you all were teaching us. One year later I’m 💯 free of all meds. First time in 40 years I’ve felt and acted normal. I cannot express my gratitude for all the men and women who refuse to sell out to big Pharma and tell the truth no matter it costs them. There will definitely be a special place in Heaven for all of you, I’m quite certain 😊

I have a similar story, after a conversation with a nurse practitioner, she said I was bi-polar and referred me to a psychiatrist.He said his job was to monitor my meds, if I needed to talk about things, I would need to see another professional so,I was on meds 3xday, and soon I wanted to reduce the meds. The doctor who prescribed them advised me, if I felt like unliving myself, to call a hospital or his office, so he knew the end result. I spent a week in a voluntary admittance hospital to redirect my thoughts, while they prescribed other meds. This allowed me to get off those. My self diagnosis, stress! Never, never, will I take another “anti” med.

[@nannygranny9534]

I have developed fatty liver, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes because the doctor was waiting for one purpose only and that was to get me on drugs. He flat told me he could not help me get well. Dr. Berry and others have. All of the above are now gone because Dr. Berry taught me how to eat a proper human diet. Thank you Dr. Berry!

[@williammentink]

Sounds like he was correct in his admission, that he could not get you well. No pill he/she could have given you would cure you, because there was no new healthy state for it to move you to. Pills never cure a condition, they help your body get to it's normal state. But sadly the SAD had made your body's normal state a sick one. Your diet change is moving you towards a healthy state.

Dr. Berry, you tell 'em. I was working in a nursing home around 2005 and had a thin, type one diabetic whose sugars were out of control. I asked him if he'd be willing to eat more protein and less carbs to see if it would help. For the next three days at each meal I replaced the carbs with extra servings of protein and we immediately had control of his blood sugars. I went to the facility nutritionist and showed her my documentation. She said he needed the nutrition from the carbs and that we couldn't change his diet. I was incredulous.

I feel ten years younger. I was reasonably healthy before but I was a stress eater and I would get slightly overweight (according to BMI) but I always said I felt fine, but some lab work indicated trouble on the horizon. These past 8 months made me realize that I wasn't as healthy as I thought. From my take I think the most helpful things I have done have been, #1 no soda, #2 intermittent fasting, #3 low carb.

[@drirene57]

As a physician, I did my best to encourage good nutrition, but food is soo addictive that patients would rather take a pill than change their diet. All physicians are aware that junk food is bad, but realize early on that few patients will change their eating habits. That being said, doctors are indoctrinated in medical schools that drugs are the way to treat everything. They call it “the standard of care” and physicians under the umbrella of corporations are required to follow the standard of care, and it’s monitored through the computer. Doctors are the unwitting victims in the current scenario. They truly believe they are doing the right thing, especially when they can’t get patients to change their diets. Unfortunately my awakening came in retirement when I finally had the time to take a deep dive into nutrition and health. I am very angry at the greed and corruption. Luckily we’re in “The Great Awakening” where corruption is being exposed.

[@mandatorym_y_o_c_a_r_d_i_t_i_s]

How do we get out from under "the standard of care"? They used it to shut down anything and everything they don't like. Some doctors were prescribing Ivermectin but only to be shut down by "the standard of care".

Yes, people are unwilling to change diets unless faced with a health matter or over obesity. People have the mindset, "well, I'm gonna die from something, why not enjoy life" mentality. Children though are the ones who don't truly understand because we pass down bad habits, only to realize in our adulthood how badly we messed up our children.

OMG, I relate so much to this. I was a Cornell trained Chemical Engineer working for Merck (now retired) when statins first entered the system. I was like Calley, just bought into all this. BTW, I am an African American female and believe this talk about Coke being taken away as racism just distracts from the things that are really racist (and they are real). Like Calley, for the last 20 years (i stepped away from corporate America and went into STEM education) I have made it my life's mission to educate everybody that I can. BTW, I am thrown this argument all the time: you are trying to take away the only food affordable but do you know that a whole rotisserie chicken from Walmart is cheaper than 2 Big Macs. So you have comparable price and availability and preparedness but what you don't have is addictive substances and marketing.

I would have made more progress talking to the wall behind her. I walked out of her office, politely read her papers, made my notes, and threw them away. I did go to the cardiologist as she requested just to try and spark a real conversation. The cardiologist freaked out, sent me for a ct scan.

@Vicky Padgett Was that recently, and did you have COVID? It's just an item of interest because I have long COVID. One of my early issues were heart related, and my doctor said my EKG showed I'd had a HA, and off to the cardiologist I went. 3 months later and numerous tests, I went in for a heart cath because of a blockage. Reports said I'd not had the HA, but an 'event' probably from the blockage. Came to after the cath to be told congratulations, there was no blockage. AND I was complimented by the surgeon for having the best heart in a 67-year-old he'd ever seen. COVID (and shots) can cause numerous heart issues, and mimic them as well. I've came across a few others since then.

When we got home from school each day, Mom would make a snack. Perhaps a fruit platter with apple and orange slices and some peanuts in a bowl resting in the center. Or ham and cheese on crackers with a pickle. Regular dessert was jello, pudding or coffee cake. Holiday dessert was elaborate. All had Real Butter.

About 10 years ago I learned the banks that manage the EBT/food stamps debit cards profit billions from the transaction fees. Where there are huge profits the only incentive is to enroll more people on the cards. If the cards limited purchases to unprocessed whole foods, how many wouldn't bother to enroll? In another article the whole welfare program is a financial leaky bucket where 1/3 of every $1.50 taxed actually reaches the recipient (that article was also about 10 years ago). Anecdotally, I was in the grocery line behind a white guy wearing a dealership mechanic uniform. He had a few food items, bottle of wine and case of beer on the counter. He pays for the food with the food stamp card (says to the cashier it was his wife's card) and pays cash for the alcohol. Of course I'm thinking "you could have skipped the alcohol and bought your own food". The abuses of the welfare program by government, corporations, and individuals have ruined a program most would support for those in genuine need.

And to answer Dr Berry's question, *NO* I would not have soda be food-stamp-able. I was thinking this before I was following Keto. Food Stamps should pay for food.

I've seen in Stores their grocery carts full of processed foods , I'm 58 years old , raised 3 children never thank goodness needed foodstamps, but even if I had . I wouldn't be giving anyone not even any of my loved ones the junk thats out there !

#3 cause of death is medical errors… but no one can ever explain why depressed people with low serotonin is given SSRI ( which basically portions out the low amount of serotonin you have ). Fun fact, 95% of serotonin is made in the GUT!!! So if you are low why not look into what is causing it? Would make to much sense, actually it has and the answer is so simple.

[@katiebenjatschek161]

What does PHD stand for?

[@katerandall4351]

PHD is acronym for Proper Human Diet - a term Dr Berry created to drive home his point that we need to eat ancestrally appropriate foods and Not the SAD (Standard American Diet)- we need to avoid ALL processed foods, only eat 1-ingredient whole foods - if it has a bar code then it is not a whole food or good for you. Avoid all sugar and sweeteners, vegetable and seed oils and anything processed/refined. The fructose in fresh fruit goes straight to your liver and helps create fatty liver - a fact my T2D Dietitian did not know when she counselled me to have a fruit smoothie every day (I ballooned from 210-255 pounds and had diabetic ulcers on bottom of feet - had to bandage my feet daily for 10 months before they healed!) went online and found Dr Berry and Dr Fung and started following their methods and lost weight, healed feet and able to walk an hour after supper each day! Still a journey to follow and PHD is a way to eat for life - never go back to SAD! Best wishes on your health journey - you’ve got this!

Btw, in the 1980s, tobacco companies started buying up processed food companies. I began noticing it while shopping. I saw labels like "ABC Foods, a division of RJ Reynolds". I wondered why and now I know why.

[@thefilersjourney]

As a young single mother (left abusive husband) I ended up accepting food stamps (I fought It as long as I could), it wasn’t much, I admit that to make it stretch as far as I could with mostly pastas and processed junk that “filled the stomach“-it also fed my addiction. I also purchased a lot of soda, my son didn’t get that. It was cheap then. I didn’t know better. I didn’t know that was the cause of my chronic pain and depression. I know now. Parents need to be educated properly to make the best choices possible for the health of their children. This lifestyle is possible even on food assistance programs if they are properly taught.

[@gotchaz45]

People addicted to sugar have the sugary food in addition to anything else they are eating. My daughter used to find dozens of empty cola cans under the car seats and tossed in the back seat. We are talking about an adult with means to go where they want and purchase what they want. It may take longer for them to die than a drug addict but guess who will have to nurse them as they die slowly of blindness, kidney disease, amputations, heart disease, mental issues, etc. And, if he's setting an example for your child, you may watch them repeat this terrible scenario. Would you tolerate a drug addict or an alcoholic just because they are more likely to die sooner than a sugar addict?

My earliest intro into the corruption of the industry was back in the early aughts when I did Atkins and it changed my life for the better. I even was fortunate to visit his office a month before he died after falling after a bad ice storm. He was NOT fat for the record. As I became an outspoken promoter of low carb I was amazed at the concern & horror that the normies expressed regarding me. The vitriol and lies by the establishment low fat promoters opened my eyes to the corruption.

[@Maam-xl4gu]

I did Atkins back in the 70's. I recently heard someone say Dr. Atkins died of a heart attack. I knew that wasn't true. I remembered it was because he had hit his head (I believe) when he slipped on an icy sidewalk. I did some research online about him and there was an article that stated he had a heart condition of some kind. Do you have any information or knowledge about that?

[@ssteel8401]

@@Maam-xl4gu in one of his later books he admitted to having an acute myopathy secondary to a viral infection . So of course the propaganda pushed by big Agra & big pharma screamed in unison that his diet caused a heart attack. What I witnessed then, 2000 - 2004, started me down the rabbit hole of how corrupted the medical system has become. Mind you I work in molecular imaging , so see some of the good & the bad within it. Meanwhile the standard American diet of highly processed foods gets continuous green lights by all the 3 letter gatekeeper agencies. Researchers who go against special interests get defunded, or worse. Dr Atkins was a highly educated cardiologist who made the mistake of asking questions.

I can speak about organics a little. We hired a well-respected and straightforward organic farming consultant. Part of my world shattered that day. I was asking him about best practices, the benefits and drawbacks of different fertilizers, etc. He said we could go in to business using only organic fertilizer that met all criteria and that that same fertilizer was more toxic to produce than newer synthetic fertilizer available. He said, do you want the label of organic, because we can do that, and the impact on the environment will be worse. I was shocked that you could qualify as organic and use an approved fertilizer that was worse than non-organic.
