Ep:285 LIES AND MALPRACTICE: SALT - by Robert Cywes

We need certain amount of sugar, let's not go overboard.

[@Dav624]

​We need 0 grams of sugar inside our digestive system any amount of sugar u put in ur body through the mouth only damages you and doesn't benefit you it only creates problems that ur body will have to deal with later when u eat salts and proteins it starts repairing the damage done by the sugar u put in it sugar is glue it's created by the body in the liver and is used to seal wounds and other blood leaks inside the body eating glue will eventually slow and slow ur digestive system down more and more until it stops entirely and dies it's not rocket science to understand​@@esvedra2419

I took care of my mother until her death. She was a type 2 diabetic and had bad swelling in her lower legs. Her doctors told me not to let her have any salt, even though she was craving salt all the time. They never said anything about sugar. There was no change in the swelling in her lower legs but she started having headaches and had weakness to the point she could hardly get out of bed. I took her to her doctor, he ordered blood work and told me again not give her any salt in her food even if she begged for it. Her appointment was on Thursday and my mother died that Sunday morning. On Monday morning I received a call from her doctor telling me I needed to bring her in immediately and have her blood work redone because her sodium level was really low and, if it wasn't due to lab error, it could be life threatening. I told him I couldn't do that and he told me again how serious this could be, I told him I couldn't bring her in because she died yesterday morning. There was dead silence on the phone and then he finally said he was sorry for my loss. If I knew then what I know now maybe my mother would still be with us.

[@NYNC88]

I'm so sorry for your loss. That was clearly malpractice.

I was in liver failure needing a transplant. Wasn't aloud salt. They never said a word about sugar. Even after liver rejection 6 years later not a word about sugar.i was hospitalized for low sodium multiple times 🙄 Have learned so much from the great Dr. Here! Lost my mom in 2010. My deepest sympathy ❤

I recently had a mini-stroke and was hospitalized for four days. The hospital would not allow me to eat meat, coffee, or sodium from their menu, but would allow me to eat carbs, sugary treats, juices, and sodas.

After 30 years, I'm learning SO much from you Dr. Cywes! I am trying to enlighten my fellow nurses to your amazing videos and what you're teaching. 90% of them think I'm crazy!

My BP dropped from an average of 125/80 (and occasionally 140/90) to 110/68 on this year's physical (I'm 56) after going LCHF on 3/1/22. The "establishment" will tell a person to drop salt to control BP then prescribe a diuretic when that doesn't work. It's almost like it's a conspiracy or something. It gives me hope that you're trying to get real information! Not always easy.

Fabulous, wish everyone could do the same except for emergency services!

[@itzakpoelzig330]

Exactly! Would you go to a mechanic who you know is cheating you and who is actively making your vehicle run worse? Of course not! So why go to a doctor who does the same? People live in this kind of induced fear that the only thing keeping them alive is their frequent doctor visits, when in fact most of them would be much better off if they had never seen a doctor. The only exception is for injuries and emergencies - and even there there's some scary incompetence going on. Do you know how common it is for surgeons to give "wrong side" surgery? They do the right surgery, but on the wrong side of the body! It is not rare!

[@gpetty5875]

I don’t bother trying to convince a doctor of anything. I just do my own thing and employ my doctor as a gateway to the medical industrial complex. Insurance companies make that a requirement.

I've decided to do the same thing. The insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid require we see a doctor once a year for wellness check ✅ aka physical in order to keep coverage.

I've been low carb almost 4 years. I salt the heck out of my daily meal and even put salt in my coffee, to replace all of the salt that had been in the processed foods I'd been eating before I went low carb. 1) don't fear salt 2) eat REAL food, never any FAKE man-made food

[@kathrin9674]

I figured out how to get salt into the body: squeeze a lemon put it into water nd add salt. Tastes good, actually.

[@goldstar846]

I salt my black coffee too!! delicious!

[@murraybrown855]

Started doing this myself. Can’t wait to hear what my doctor says to this as well as telling him I’m going off statins. I appreciate that they need to adhere to a “standard of care”, but not waiting another 20 years for medical associations to catch up.

[@carrieteeps6224]

My blood pressure agrees 100%. When I was diagnosed with high BP, there was no talk about what I was putting in my face. Just gave me a prescription and handed me the DASH Diet paperwork and sent me on my way. Let’s fast forward to the good part … I cut the sugar, added the salt, BP thanked me. My mother-in-law experienced the same thing and is now off her BP meds and no longer T2. I can tell if I consumed too many carbs the day before simply by how easily my wedding ring set slips on and off my finger the next day. Cannot even begin to tell you how much I appreciate you and others who produce content for us! PS - My new doc is impressed with the transformation.

Just yesterday a friend of mine passionately insisted that because he has congestive heart failure, salt is dangerous for him. His cardiologist has fed him this line. He is T2 diabetic, with multiple insulin shots per day. My sister in law was apoplectic last year insisting an increase in salt put her in the hospital (she also has CHF) and this information came from her cardiologist. I don’t think it’s a stretch at all to view what the medical industry (particularly cardiologists and nutritionists) disseminates about salt to be malpractice. Unfortunately, if a layman like myself attempts to counter this with facts, the response is incredulity and anger. So sad. But I keep trying. Thanks for the video Doc.

[@mauricioliscano847]

let your blood tests and bp talk for you.

[@JMK-vo8pv]

You bring up a great point, Julie. It really is a shame that so many medical and nutritional "experts" get so defensive and downright angry when challenged about biochemistry or human physiology. It is as if they cannot admit they could actually be WRONG! This makes for a very DYSFUNCTIONAL medical system.

[@jna9888]

@@JMK-vo8pv So true. My cardiologist literally walked out of the room when I asked detailed questions about HDL/TG ratio and other stuff. Told me to find a Chinese doctor or maybe VooDoo. Said not to call him if I die. He was a good plumber, installing 6 stents in me, based only on a stress test. I was totally asymptomatic.

I fear for the vast human population that eats corporate "food". The deck is truly stacked against them. The marketing power they are up against is staggering. When I go to places like costco and watch the carts roll out with enormous quantities of poison, it hurts my heart and head.

[@kennixox262]

As a frequent Costco shopper, I must agree with you. There however, if one really looks carefully, can find excellent quality low/no carb/sugar, low "corporate" junk ingredients. There are so many times that I wish I could point to other shoppers and tell them to put "that back on the shelf". It is sad to see overweight and obviously unhealthy people putting filth into their bodies. Your fear is not unfounded and is a national security issue as the military is having a difficult time recruiting for many reasons but one of the main issues is obesity and other metabolic health issues that deem a lot of people unfit for military service.

[@YouTuber-ep5xx]

About the only thing I buy at Costco is big hunks of aged Gouda. I'd buy meat, but it is way over-priced. Used to buy the rotisserie chicken, but that is off the menu now that I've learned that grain fed chicken's flesh is full of linoleic acid.

[@jobrown8146]

I can remember many years ago, more than 20, my GP said to me regarding blood pressure, as I was leaving his office, that they used to think it was salt but they are now realising that it is sugar. I wish he had said this whilst I was still in the office so I could have asked more questions. But I am glad that I did find out about low carb when I was diagnosed with diabetes in October 2021 because I have managed to put it into remission with only diet. I did return to see this doctor recently and gave him permission to say "I told you so".

[@rmonogue]

My cardiologist told me to eat more salt. I live at 6600 feet above sea level in a dry climate. I was having episodes of heart palpitations. He said he sees it a lot due to dehydration. Drinking water isn’t enough. We need the electrolytes to hang onto the water. His advice worked.

[@lynnluisi6226]

Oooh boy love the new production! Looks great! Doc you continue to factually prove that the general medical community doesn’t know the most basic information to keep people healthy

[@obijuan3004]

I know my doctor, for her own insurance reasons, can only follow the common medical practices as defined by the CDC, the FDA and whatever medical association that she has to belong to for her credentials. To deviate from those institutionally PRESCRIBED medical parameters is to increase the risk of a malpractice lawsuit. So, from patient's condition to diagnosis to prescribed medical advice (diet, drugs, surgery, rehabilitation, or other medical action) that flow chart for medical help is not for my benefit, but to protect the doctor from a lawsuit, based on the use of "best practices." Therefore, even if my doctor happens to know that a Keto diet would resolve most of my issues, her medical advice (to avoid a lawsuit) is to put me on an array of drugs or other "prescribed" therapies. The whole medical community is being held hostage by big Pharma, the medical community, and the big money that influences medicine, law, and politics. In my opinion its not doctors lying as much as it is the financial pressure on the doctors to protect themselves from legal action. Deviating from "best practices" is a financial risk.

[@bikeman7982]

Hi Doc. Totally agree with your message but I wanted to point out a discrepancy between sodium and salt in your calculations. Of course you made a disclaimer about the math 🙂. Salt is approximately 40% Sodium and 60% Chloride by weight. The USA RDA of sodium (not salt) is 2300mg which corresponds to nearly 6 grams of salt, so you are very close to the RDA. Mainstream healthcare recommends (pre) hypertensive patients to drop it to 1500mg. But if you look at the studies, it only drops the systolic and diastolic by a few points. I achieved a much larger drop (normal BP now) by going low carb (not even keto)! In fact I had to slightly increase my salt intake to avoid momentary dizziness when standing up. I'm now enjoying salt guilt-free (of course not going overboard with the amount). The irony is that salt shakers have almost completely disappeared from food establishments in the US, but you'll find several packets of sugar at the table.

[@wilmafoster6754]

Loved this video! I checked my spice cabinet and lo and behold I had a container of Morton's Lite Salt tucked way in the back! It claims to have 50% less sodium than regular salt...but if you read the ingredients, it also contains a bunch of other crap INCLUDING DEXTROSE!! I have experienced many occasions where I have tried to comment on my doctor's advice to be met with annoyance on their part. Dr. Ken Berry suggests that you should challenge your doctor with real knowledge and if they argue you should find yourself another doctor. The problem here is that there are not that many around anymore!! The good ones are so overbooked that you cannot get an appointment for 6 months or longer. The not so good ones, dare you to argue or find yourself another. If you live in a large city, you may be lucky to find another. But if you live in a smaller community, the choices are extremely limited. What is society supposed to do? I need to get off my soapbox now before I get thrown off!

[@MrBDezno]

Most medical practitioners in my rural area of the US just repeat the same old mistaken notions I've heard all of my life. It is both disheartening and infuriating. The betrayal I feel when a doctor asks things such as "Do you eat a healthy low fat diet"? And then tries to educate me about why I should be on a statin. I honestly only go so I can get a prescription for my thyroid medication.

[@gpetty5875]

[@l.a.7393]

My mom had a heart condition (heart attack, then bypass, then stents). So she was a patient of different cardiologists for years. And not even once doctors (including her family doctor) asked her about her diet. Her last cardiologist only told her to "eat less". She had an apple shaped body (overweight, but not obese), but ironically that cardiologist had the same body shape. :- \ So, many doctors don't know or maybe don't even want to know how food affects the human body. It does sound very strange, but that's the reality.

[@malzimus]

Another aspect is that the salt a lot of the food industry uses isn't the "good salt" and acts differently in the body. Also, if you check the labels, brands like Morton's, Great Value, etc. are adding dextrose and a couple other things to the "salt".

[@Philipk65]

Salt is important as it carries all the minerals needed in the human body, sugar is just a poison.

[@annjean8709]

Insulin acts upon the kidney to retain water, sodium, and other electrolytes (and uric scid). Most people have hyperinsulemia. I suspect people have issues with sodium because of chronic high insulin.

[@bikeman7982]

Yeah. The blood likes to hold 4g of glucose, but many people consume 100-200g of carbs each meal. On the other hand, the blood holds 45g of salt, so I have a hard time understanding why consuming 9g instead the recommended max or 6g of salt can make such a big difference in BP.

Thank you so much for this. I'm going to go and rerun it to fully understand it. This is so important, and the numbers came at us pretty fast. I wonder if a couple of graphics would help our comprehension a bit. Thank you again for the insight.

[@robertcywes2966]

Numbers confused me too🙂

[@BretAtwood]

This is such a great video Dr. Cywes! Very informative and eye opening.

[@bobomonkey702]

Hi Doc, great video! I started on Trulicity last Friday after our phone appt. It's a miracle. My blood sugars are getting back to normal! I'm feeling so much better. No side affects either. Thank you so much for all you do! Have a blessed day 🙏

[@edanddianahahn3484]

I just took Trulicity this morning for the first time based on your recommendation, Dr Cywes. So far glucose still about 135 all day with eating little to no carbs. We are hopeful. Sure are encouraged by all these success stories.

Ive been eating carnivore for a number of months to try it out. I've been able to get a handle on a number of health issues as a result. It has fixed my IBS and joint pain (inflammatory ailments). I eat A LOT of salt. My blood pressure is typically around 105/70 HR60. On a very carb restricted diet, salt doesn't seem to effect my blood pressure in any noticeable way.

Make Sure that you are getting enough Magnesium and Potassium too , it's very important when eating CARNIVORE I'm 11 months in and down 125 pounds 335/210 66yo and 6'2"

Now I am very low carb. Feeling much better. I use more salt. Bloodpressure went down very fast. Healthcare try say no salt. Lot of viruses here hit hard, other people are sick, not me.

I swear you’re one of the few doctors out there that actually thinks. What you just did is not rocket science. It just makes me mad. This is absolutely why I swell up like Michelin Man when I eat carbs. I can’t wait for my appointment this summer.

[@AP-nx6xo]

I swell up as well from sugar and carbs

[@annjean8709]

Great video!👏🏾👏🏾 I appreciate your passion and transparency!

My Blood Pressure is up around 200/120 and my doctor keeps saying salt is bad, but I don't think I ate salt much at all. The BP is just uncontrollable. I'm glad to hear he's lying or just an idiot, but I don't think he'll appreciate me calling him either.

[@Simply_Ngon]

Wonderful explaination. Thank you very very much! Stay hungry my friend!s

[@UnapologeticAhole]

I would really enjoy listening to you Dr Robert Cywes and Dr Robert Lustig talk PHD stuff.

[@pattylyman7907]

Same here at 65. When I went in for my Medicare physical I was not believed I had no medication list

[@bvdh9071]

i eat close to 15-20 grams of salt per day. very low carb diet high fat moderate protein. blood pressure has never been lower.

[@pobrien864]

I am participating in a hypertension study and they still recommend a low salt diet in addition to my cardiologist consult who wants to get me back on a statin.

[@MarySchiros]

Thank you for your posts, I learn more from you that is actually helpful than the 4 yrs of college biology.

[@lslikk5599]

Eye opener!!!!👏

[@balasandarkalieannan300]

Very informative video. Thank you for sharing. God blessed 🙏.

[@chadwinslow5493]

Thank you We need more of you

[@davidgoodell4298]

That's insane. How have been told this lie for so long?

[@dr.evelynsharp2351]

Maybe sharing this will help people understand. I hope so. Thank you thank you. I can't seem to explain well but maybe this will. Thank you

[@tomphillips8739]

I personally never believed salt is bad and told any doc that recommends that path, it was not going to happen, change docs. It is simple to "fire" a doc and find a better one.

[@mikedunningham9614]

Thank you very much Dr. The most important message I’ve ever received. Cheers Mike

[@lindasmith3502]
