Now I eat low carb, avoid seed oils, and weight train 3x a week. I regard myself as no longer a heart patient, and no longer consult cardiologist.

I said, "Why not see if it is necessary first?" So we did and it wasn't needed at that time. I hesitated because my brother in law had one, and the doctor performing the angioplasty caused a tear in his heart wall and killed him. The hospital still billed the insurance company and family. This is immoral in my view. I find it hard to trust any doctor now.

Fortunately I am a professional nurse and work in intensive cardiac unit for years. I challenged him to provide his point of view,while I defended my position. All he could do was nod his head up and down, indicating ‘yes’. Corporate greed is what drives many unneeded procedures. Many thousands of dollars for something the patient Does Not need.

Doctors no longer treat disease, they treat symptoms. ~ Canada

[@flinch622]

Insulin resistance [over a couple decades] led to a probable early demise of a dear loved one recently. As an outsider, I found myself both confounded by not having medical training myself, but also blessed that my work doesn't block me in as an institutionalist hectored by government edicts and minders. I am absolutely convinced diet [read lifestyle] is the most potent antidote to IR and its host of ancillary problems that *will* emerge if nothing changes. Key thing to note is a resistance problem mimics hunger - cells need their energy, and your body knows this. We don't need more calories, but greater efficiency/uptake in such a situation. Snacking 2x a day on top of regular meals means trouble lies ahead - only serious athletes burn enough carbs to warrant that. Think tour de France, triathalon or other endurance endeavors - I doubt they follow the rediculous "food pyramid" either.

[@msv9637]

They have no clue what causes inflammation either. Probably because a bunch of their ‘preventative care’ causes major inflammation.

You don't have to see a cardiologist directly to get a CAC test unless you are going the insurance route. You can pay for a CAC test out of pocket. It is not that expensive. It is not covered by insurance until you are at least 40 years old or over. The last time I took a CAC test my score was 0, which is a perfect score, and it was funny because all this time I had no risk of heart disease inside, but doctors were trying to prescribe me a statin, and worried about my cholesterol. CAC test is the most accurate predictor of future heart disease, but it does not make big pharma much money. Statin drugs and heart surgeries make the most money.

I'm 71. My calcium score was 2444 2 years ago. The cardiologists wanted to do a coronary bypass Inspite of the degree of calcium making it impossible to determine the amount of vessel constriction. After a few delays due to the COVID situation and on line studies I concluded that my quality of life was good and I had hoped that the keto (therfore high fat) diet would arrest further problems and so I declined surgery. The cardiologists therefore said since I was refusing their advice (op + statins & low fat diet) they would block me from any further follow up. No mention was ever made of low carb, low sugar diet although I was clearly prediabetic.

She eventually dismissed him from her care. She only cared about covering her butt.

I think another problem you didn't mention Dr. Dhand is fear of malpractice suits. Suppose a cardiologist says "Your problem is caused by insulin resistance. Eat healthy and exercise." Well, if they said that, it goes against the standard textbook answers that the professional medical societies endorse. So, if a cardiologist goes rogue and says "eat healthy and exercise." and the patient dies, because that cardiologist didn't give the standard textbook answers (probably some toxic pill), that cardiologist is likely to face a malpractice lawsuuit, and at best higher malpractice insurance premiums.

I've also heard that the average lifespan of a US Citizen is actually going down^^ - the richest 'Health Care' system in the world and the life expectancy is decreasing is very revealing - they are only interested [monetarily] in caring for the sick not giving advice to get people healthy.....why would they choke off their income stream.

You nailed it. We need to move away from main stream medicine & take responsibility for our own health

[@fastenit27]

@@geraldinecasey5741 Our Public Health agencies (FDA, CDC, NIH, EPA) are also responsible for our poor health. There are a tremendous number of toxic substances in our food, water, air and land. These exposures can affect our health in many negative ways. Too many toxic chemicals have been authorized by our Public Health agencies. If confirmed, RFK Jr's goal is to get corporate capture out of these agencies and improve the authorization process. He also wants to do more research on food as medicine and other natural health solutions, which very little research has been done. Kennedy may be our last best chance to fix our health regulatory system. Please contact your Senator and tell them to confirm Kennedy as HHS Secretary.

[@fastenit27]

@@blaze1148 I believe you are correct, but I don't have the research on this. One of the goals of our Public Health agencies should be to educate the public on health and disease, as well as preventing harmful toxins in our food, water, air, land, etc. These health agencies have been captured by Big Food and Big Pharma for many decades (at least since I studied health in college in the 1980s). There's has been little to no significant improvement in these agencies since then. In many ways our Public Health agencies have had a negative effect on our health because of all the toxins they have authorized that we've been exposed to on a daily basis. Our Public Health agencies and Health Care system need dramatic change. We the people (ground up) need to force these changes, because Big Business has too big of an influence - and that has been disastrous for our health. Now is the time to act and change our system. The window of opportunity may more open now than at any time in our lives. I recommend contacting your Senators and telling them to confirm RFK Jr as HHS Secretary as one step and also become active (in some way) in changing the health insurance industry and health care in general.

They're dumb on purpose, it's extremely profitable. And so very extremely expensive for the patient in every way. As a patient with an icd and atrial fibrillation, i've yet to meet a cardiologist in the TWO YEARS since I received my implant, It's ALL "cardiology nurses". Recently they wanted to up my dose of one of the four drugs they have me on. The medical ai i use says this is a terrible idea. Unless I want to end up in the hospital ER.

[@Vacaiable]

Incentivisation: The problem is simply the incentives that have been built into the US health care system. I live in Norway and my cardiologist is not paid per patient. He has so many patients that it really is in his interest to give me the advice that will be best for my health, to reduce future hospital admissions. He also has no incentive for not referring for procedures outside of his specialty. This is, if you like the micro side of the incentivisation here in Norway, at the macro level my cardiologist became a doctor because he is a wonderfully decent person and very clever, a Norwegian cardiologist lives a good, secure life financially, he will never own a private jet. What sort of people of people will be attracted to becoming cardiologists in Norway? Now, I make no argument for public versus private health care. I say this because the incentivisation in the US system also means, for example, that if you have money you will get the best treatment in the world and you can get this treatment immediately, no waiting lists... just pay the money. I am glad that I am not in government trying to work out the best way to incentivise systems. God bless Dr Dhand, he is a marvel.

As a person with high blood pressure my doctor used a scare tactic on me ( by telling me I was heading towards a stroke or heart attack ) and convinced me to go on blood pressure medications. He said I needed to limit my salt intake, and wouldn't listen to me that I'm not big on salt and prefer pepper and I thought my issue's were coming from stress. I research the prescriptions. No longer taking them and haven't issues like passing out,dizziness, weight gain etc. Probably helps that I love the carnivore/keto diet as it is what I mostly eat.....

[@Kathikas1]

When I recently asked for a HOMA-IR blood test to determine my insulin resistance my UK General Practitioner denied it saying he had never heard of the test! A few weeks later I asked for his advice on dietary supplements, specifically Vitamin D3. I was told they were not necessary! Last night I asked the internet if regular recurrent or further training was a licensing requirement for GPs - apparently, unless their surgery requires it, it is not … OK, we don’t have the same monetary issues that Dr Dhand discusses in this video but if the NHS lays down policies that lead to the above scenarios why would our doctors, who have mortgages to service and food to put on the table, stick their noses above the parapet?

" doctors should educate" I had to educate my cardiologist, explaining the high blood sugar was the cause of artery blockage because the resulting inflammation arrtacted the offending fat. Cut all the fat you want, your body will make more from the excess carbs. I also educated him on the difference between relative and absolute risk (the difference between 1.5% and 1% absolute risk doesn't sound that impressive like 40% relative risk does. He's a fine surgeon mind you and the Stent saved my life, but now he only offers stating pro forma and I tell him to write it his note that he offered just to make the regulators happy

Thank you for such real medical advice. Cutting carbs, eating mostly meat, intermittent fasting... l lost 15lb. I felt better and could breathe better. My new cardiologist prescribed Jardiance, a diabetic type of drug. I'm reluctant to use it, but l will try it. He seems to think it would help me live longer. After listening to your video, I believe l am insulin resistant. I continuously crave sweets-sugar. My blood pressure is good without heart meds. But l do have congestive heart failure due to an incompetent intern... who botched the catherizion he performed on me in 2011. Long story, however, he caused irreparable damage to my healthy heart. $$ I have lived with his incompetence every day since 2011! He changed my entire way of life at 51. I was never the same person. The cath, malpractice, caused a dangerous arrthymia, causing me to have a SCA in 2015. However, the Lord brought me back. It appeared that l suffered no ill effects from the SCA. All this happened in Florida. Needless to say, l don't live there anymore. I watch all your videos. Thank you.

[@SweetSassyBull]

I don't mean to be rude but why would you need the meds if you ate a high protein, low carb diet?

[@goldenpearlzs]

@SweetSassyBull l stopped it, gained back 15 lbs. Everything geoengineered now. Meat isn't the same since the current regime allowed Frankenstein food. Doc says it will decrease load on my heart. Intern that did a cath, on me, collapsed my right artery, had to put in 4 stents, heart was deprived of oxygen, so he gave me a heart attack & an arrthymia to go with it. In order words, l went to the ER for the flu & came out handicapped the rest of my life. Stay away from hospitals and doctors. You'll live longer. They only care about $$. Supposedly, the heart med affects carbohydrates, like the keto diet. For every lb l gained back, my breathing got worse. Also, heart meds reduce my pulse rate... double-edge sword, in my case. Reduce heart rate, less mobility. If the heart med doesn't work for me... then l will go off the heart med & do keto/intermittent, again...plus I incorporated a bit of yogi. It wasn't easy for me. Yogi, low impact, kept my body from hurting. Heart meds have terrible side effects, but l have a dangerous arrthymia now. That caused my SCA in 2015.

Thank you so much for using the term "dumb," though I must say that I was dumb for the longest time until I started watching videos such as yours and properly educating myself on what I believe is the real truth about modern medicine vs. alternative medicine. Right now, as you speak, my "d-mb" cardiologist is pushing a statin on me because my cholesterol, including my LDL, is through the roof, and that it's extremely dangerous if it's not treated. I refused to go on the statin drugs. So she pushed an alternative drug, repatha, on me, which I accepted because in a clinical trial 8 years ago, it did lower my cholesterol level without any evident side effects. I know the statins cause cognitive decline. Perhaps, Repatha does, too. But, I still feel reluctant to take this medication, knowing what I know now and, most of all, for fearing further cognitive decline. Now, it is true that all my readings are quite high: my cholesterol, my LDL, and my triglycerides, even though I'm doing the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting, and I've lost around 60 lbs., and my blood sugar has gone down significantly. My HDL is 40, which they say is lower than it should be. So, I don't know what to do. The way they put it, I'm a ticking time bomb. Many doctors in the past, including my current primary doctor, have thought that my cholesterol is familial. They still want me on cholesterol medication. I've had high cholesterol ever since I can remember whether thin or fat.

As a retired MD, I agree with you but would add that there is plenty of blame to be shared with other MD's as well ---in our training we were too often told to follow the "consensus opinions " regarding treatment; the problem with a consensus is that just because a lot of people agree, doesn't mean that they are right. Too often we were like sheep, following and believing another senior physician without proof. Like you are doing, it is more important to think critically and question dogma. History has shown that it is often the free thinker who is brave enough to question the accepted dogma who has made critical and noteworthy advances in science and medicine.
