[@alan30189]

You did the right thing. I think what your doctor is trying to do, is keep you from looking at information that is bad and misleading, because there’s a lot of bad information out there. Through your research you found something that was beneficial for your son, so good for you. I hope your son is well.

[@dillonmiller956]

My son has pulmonary hypertension diagnosed at 4 months. His doctors told us do not look up anything or try to research his condition yourselves. So my wife and I have read everything we can find about his condition, medications, and doctors and we have avoided a lung transplant that they told us was inevitable and gotten off of all but one medication and he’s turning 5 next week, is starting kindergarten, and lives a relatively normal, active, extremely happy life. Never listen to ANYONE who tells you to stop asking questions and avoid researching your condition. They’re trying to sell something that you probably don’t need.

Thank you Berry/Ovadia for talking about the "morality judgements" that are often made about patients. As someone who has suffered from body dysmorphia & food addiction/binge eating for decades (didn't realize what it was until recently) I can't tell you the # of times I see comments like "put the 🍴/🍩/🍕 down...just step away from table" or the pity glances from thin people or people who obsess at the gym. Conversations like this give me hope. Please continue to work on the older Drs beliefs. The transition from finding a gluten allergy to Paleo to Keto to Ketovore/Carnivore has made all the difference in my 15 yr journey.

But no longer. Our cholesterol is normal now and we are no longer pre-diabetic. Praise the Lord! I also used to be so badly inflamed in my body. That has been healed too. My knees usually don’t hurt anymore either even though I have no cartilage in either one of my knees. Every now and then my right knee will hurt. But that is usually when I have been on my feet most of the day. I am so thankful we were directed to Keto. We do not eat processed foods anymore. We look at all the labels on the food before we buy it. If it has bad oils in it or sugars we avoid buying those. We are still keeping our carbs low. I have 30 more pounds to lose.

Thank you again Dr Berry. I had my annual visit to my physician recently. In the past year I have done a mainly Keto diet, with intermittent fasting, lost 150lbs. My BP was 110/71. My blood work showed A1C of 5.3, triglycerides of 75, normal kidney function, normal liver enzymes, and everything normal except a total cholesterol of 310. My visit devolved into a 30 minute lecture on my need for a statin, which I resisted because I was still actively losing weight, which will elevate my LDL. I asked him about the reparative mechanism of LDL and all of the damage my previous SAD must have done. He did not want to hear it. I am looking for a new Keto friendly doctor today.

Several years ago my wife was put on statins for her cholesterol. A few weeks later she developed a problem with her one eye, her vision started fading and she could not see a full view like her eye was only half-open which it wasn't. Just prior to this she had a complete eye exam and everything was fine. She went back to the eye doctor and he said she would never regain normal vision. We asked what could have caused it and he did not know, he said it was like something traumatic had happened. After a couple of days of thinking it through it dawned on us that this condition started shortly after starting the statin drug. She asked her doctor and was told there was no causal effect from the statin. We looked it up on the internet and there were tons of stories just like my wife's regarding statins causing vision problems especially in women. She immediately stopped taking the statin drug and eventually her vision went back to normal. Virtually no doctors that my wife and I have ever gone to factor in diet. It's all about drugs. From all these testimonials, it sounds like Keto is the way to go. Happy for you, your blood pressure is fantastic!

At the same time a British doctor did a real study of heart diseased patients and found that it was sugar and simple carbs that clogged the arteries of patients. Keys caused foods to become low fat and dangerous for human consumption. Fats (good ones) are necessary to cover (sheath) all our extensive nerve system, to make hormones including sex hormones & many other functions. It also gave drug companies the green light to declare cholesterol a bad thing in the human body which it is not, and produce statins and other drugs which cause aching muscles, painful joints and misery to people until they die BUT, they make money!!!

There will never be just one diet good for everyone. Dr Berry is on the Carnivore diet, which is usually taken for issues no other diet addresses.

My Dad was dying from Cancer and was in the hospital. He had been a type 2 Diabetic most of his life, he control his diabetes by watching his sugar intake and metformin. While he was in the hospital they had his blood sugar up to 500 due to the high crab diet they had him on. I ask to speak with the dietician about the food they were feeding him everyday. The Certified Dietician actually had the gall to tell me, that you body has to have sugar. I said really, well you've got my Dads blood sugar up to 500 because of the trash you are sending up to his room. I ask her do you not have meat and vegetables for him to eat. So they changed his diet that day, and his blood sugar started dropping.. With cancer the sugar you eat feeds the cancer cells. So they had his blood sugar up to 500, great job!!

What a dream of an interview!! To listen to a Cardiac Surgeon tell of his journey into actual healthy eating, this is amazing! I am an old thoracic ICU RN who was sold on the low fat, low calorie diet for all my patients. In the 80's I was 'rehabbed' by one of my roommates regarding margarine. It was a slow uphill learning curve from there - now its only grass fed butter and beef for me and my loved ones - and it's so freeing to know that just eating meat is enough (my gut does not tolerate most veggies). Ciao for now.

[@MamaKalash]

Yes, margarine was first in another form, and first developed, as a quicker and cheaper way to fatten up cattle as they finished them, just before slaughter. It worked great, until those cattle began dropping dead of heart failure. So what did they do next? Well, someone got the bright idea to hydrogenate those garbage oils that they began with, and call it "Oleo," margarine, then market that to PEOPLE! 😱

Interesting trivia: Keto was brought to be in the 1920s as a means to manage epilepsy. My son has it (epilepsy) and we started keto about two months ago. He's currently on his longest stretch without a seizure since March and I've lost 20lbs as a pleasant side effect (I'm doing Keto with him as I didn't want him to have to eat so restricted all by himself). So it's been great for my 16 year old son, and for me as a former professional athlete who's creeping far too close to 50 who isn't as lean as he used to be.

In 2018 I was prescribed 2000 mg Metformin as well but I completely ignored taking it regularly. I ignored that I am Type 2. My blood sugar was regularly 400-500 - but I kept ignoring all. Fast forward to today, I can`t drive more than 60 miles an hour. It`s like I am in slow motion. I keep forgetting things. Hard to concentrate and hold a job. Like 10 days ago, I cut carbs and started taking Metformin regularly. Bread and sweets were the hardest part. But I replaced with flaxseed bread and occasional keto sweets that I buy. The point is, though, I am not counting calories. I have cut carbs (my daily food is, cucumber, tomato cheese for mornings, and meat + flaxseed, roasted almonds and salad. No fruits, no sugar, no bread, no carbs in general) The thing is, did you count calories? What if I am consuming lets says 4000 calories of fat + protein and very little carbs.

I believe in Keto and I.F. And from my extensive research I know it IS a concern to become too thin as an older person. I'm 70 and active, healthy, and thin. My sister is 73 and we both lost the weight we wanted to lose. But there are statistics that show that all-cause mortality is higher for people over 65 who become overly thin. So we have both asked trusted, fit friends for them to give their honest opinion if they ever see we getting too thin. (We know they won't say that out of jealousy) Good health! Just FYI: From an AI Overview : "Being too thin for an elderly person is dangerous because it can significantly increase their risk of falls, bone fractures, weakened immune system, muscle loss (sarcopenia), potentially leading to a lower quality of life and increased mortality rate due to the lack of protective muscle and fat tissue to cushion impacts and support their body functions; even unintentional weight loss in older adults can be a sign of underlying health issues."

This is probably pretty controversial, but the only time a doctor became emotional and irate with me was when I asked about the risks of vaccinating my newborn son. I'd had a friend whose son lost all his milestones after his 18 month immunizations, and I was extremely concerned. After the pediatrician's response, we left the office and never returned. And did lots of research, sadly without the help and support of a caring physician. Thankfully we eventually found family doctors who have patiently answered our medical questions, no matter how silly they might have seemed. My new doctor has also gently asked what other treatments we used at home and never chastised me for trying home remedies before coming in to him. They're rare, but they're out there.

Gym 4 times a week including 2 bootcamps. Have 128/75 bp. Resting heart rate of 50bpm. And a doctor looks at my total cholesterol and wants me on statins and to visit a dietician!!! How did they qualify as an MD? Like I’m going to listen to a dietician. The most discredited profession in the world!

Thankfully I have a female Muslim doc that doesn’t force statins on me. She did give me 10mg of Atorvastatin at one point and it brought my cholesterol down to normal range but I was getting joint pains, so I wanted off them . She didn’t have a problem with that .

I do chronic care management and damn near all of my patients have a trifecta of issues: diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hypertension. I ALWAYS start my care planning with an in-depth evaluation of their diet. I’d say 90% of my patients can correct their chronic medical conditions by changing their diet. The other 10% have structural/genetic factors. I’ve been able to graduate patients out of CCM by using the motivation of getting off of medication. The majority of my patients do not want to be on medication, so I exploit this desire to help keep them motivated. When I develop their diets with them, I tell them, the EASIEST way to KNOW if what you’re eating is good for you is how many ingredients it has and how quickly you have to eat it before it rots/moldy. If you have a food with one ingredient and it rots/gots moldy in a few days… THAT is a good food to eat. Teaching patients to eat Whole Foods, that are unprocessed can be a challenge- especially for those on a fixed income. Teaching them to eat naturally to where their ancestors came from seems to really help them with understanding the harm modern food processing techniques and availability of foods from various regions that are not native to your genetic make up are harmful. We like animals have developed a way of processing native foods from our native environment. The practices I work for don’t question my methods due to the success my patients experience while working with me. Thank you for confirming my technique and validating my success. Epinephrine is probably the only truly life saving medication aside from an antibiotic in specific cases.
