I for one definitely lost trust in the medical profession and I am getting a little tired of this kind of thing. After years of paying for meds I couldn't really afford, I went Keto. All my problems went away and the meds into the garbage. Finished my first marathon at age 74, enjoying life.

I have emphysema and 7 heart stents, and have been through the ringer in this industry. I swear that I don't remember one of the many specialists EVER asking me about my diet...in 12 years now.

At the end of the epoch, civilizations crumble. We are there now. You're welcome.....

[@TES-bt8sv]

Keep up your fight for the simple truth in medical science. Your information allowed me to fight back when I was recommended to be put on statins. My care team finally gave in and did further testing (APOB) and determined that statins were not needed., When I needed a new primary care doctor several years ago, I deliberately selected the youngest doctor that I could find. He asked me how I kept my diabetes, type 1 under control so well, I described my diet to him and he said, "Oh your keto, I do that also on and off, that's great." Good, open minded doctors are out there.

In that time I've also stopped the statin. While my cholesterol has always been high, it's actually decreasing slowly without medications. Knowing my numbers are decreasing, my Dr. still pushes statins not because of the high cholesterol, but because she knows about my diet.

I a lean mass hyper responder and had followed you for about five years. I’ve been on the keto diet for that amount of time and not really because I need to lose weight because I seen my health deteriorating. My A1c was starting to climb, my blood pressure was going up, and I’ve always tried to do what’s right for my health. I never smoked but I did follow carbohydrate, low-fat diet and was on statins. Started out with a calcium score above 100 around 15 years ago. Since starting the keto diet, my calcium score has climbed over 100 points a year. I’m now over 700 as of the latest check. My grandfather died at 27. My father died at 43 of heart attacks. Both of them smoked cigarettes. I thought that my rising calcium was just going over soft plaque that I already had. I know that that is not true. So I think you should acknowledge not having all the information that the diet is probably not right for everyone. I’ve been seeing the carb addiction dock for a couple years. Hasn’t really made a difference. I would volunteer and give any information and be an active participant in any study. My A1c at its highest was 5.7 and this is now 5.2 And it should be much lower because I don’t eat the carbs and my body just makes them. I’ve lost more weight than I wanted to. I lost plenty of muscle and I wish someone had the answer because I would surely listen. Thanks.

Saw a Dr Berry and Neisha video and I believe I will be carnivore now for the rest of my life. 62 yo female down 25 pounds and so much energy now. At my lowest weight since having my sons 30 yrs ago. Loving my carnivore life.

It's incredible how many of my friends have been on a keto diet and lost over 80lbs since March of this yr. I reversed my diabetes a1c 7.1 and now 5.1 also my blood pressure was 155/85 now 107/68 and my Dr. Said I had a blood pressure of a young athlete now..when I told her what I was doing I told her a keto diet .Her mouth dropped and said really ..lol I told yes you heard me correct..all she had to say was OH WOW..LOL. come on it goes to show you what Md.s know absolutely nothing..and the best is when you ask them anything the words are I Don't Know..and I'm talking many dr.s I have ask ?s to..Go big Pharma $$$$$ ..Dr. Berry keep saving lives your the best..God Bless you and your family..Happy Thanksgiving !!

My sleep specialist was very dismissive after I lost in the neighborhood of 50lbs and required my bipap be turned down. She almost ignored me. I've been carnivore almost 10 months and my blood pressure has also fallen to about 112/65 on average. My resting heart rate was also a huge surprise. It was always, ALWAYS at least 85+ at all times. The other night I measured it myself and it was 56. I did it twice to make sure It wasn't an anomaly. 56 again... I've now lost over 70lbs.

Most MD's certainly know nothing about nutrition, that's for damn sure.

[@AnastaciaMary]

Your poor doctor is so uneducated.

[@thefisherking78]

Thanks for the dose of sanity

[@songbirdkw]

Thanks Nicholas!

[@CC-iq2pe]

After doing Keto and seeing the Major benefits from decreased sugar levels, improved healing, improved cardio vascular capacity and general all around heath. I find it very difficult to understand how these improvements fail heart health. This seems quite sketchy to me.

[@equusmax8015]

Quite right, it's all about the science... Real scientific introspection and approach is SO MUCH needed and appreciated from us lay people.

[@Texasecede]

I lost 150lbs on Keto and I'm the healthiest I've ever been. No heart disease!!

[@chrisminifie219]

They have not detailed what this patient was actually eating. A ketogenic diet means different things to different people. Some so called ketogenic foods are highly processed.

[@ronspruill1901]

Dr. Stephen Phinney give a good reply as to why LDL goes up after a person is on keto a few months.

[@JoseGomez-gr3tf]

I am all here supporting your all on board with personal proof

"never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity" ....... or ........ "never attribute to stupidity that which can be explained by malice"? Rhetorical question ..... Doesn't matter as neither is acceptable!! Good job for highlighting ..... whichever one it is!!

[@kimmcnichols9650]

Thank you both !

[@JAdams-jx5ek]

The one CERTAIN thing about science is that in 100 years.... those scientists will look back on today and think... 'ignorant, truly ignorant'

[@crabbypaddy5549]

Yep, just like if we look back in history and looking at what they considered medical facts, we will find their facts flawed and outright dangerously wrong, even lethal. Slugs, drilling in head, phrenology, and on and on...some early philosophers thought fire lived within wood and could burst out at any time. Socrates and later Plato that were a part of the founding part of science, were logical in their thinking, but often came to the wrong conclusion, but.....but could admit they were wrong and encouraged discussion to disprove them. .....unlike Fauci's Science that is more like the opposite of the scientific process.

[@1MSally1965]

No, I think their thought will be the same as mine, “PAID OFF”!

[@erikRR]

Great job Nick

[@keywestfan2503]

“There ARE some upcoming data” “I’ll be interested to see what THOSE show” I love this guy for referring appropriately to data in the plural!

[@snyderflyer7365]

So, this applies exactly to me! 71 y.o. 180 lbs. really active guy. 2 stents 7 years ago. They also said I had evidence of LV damage. Put on statins, carvedilol and lisinopril. Started keto then easy transition to carnivore. Not trying to loose weight, but down to 140.....blood pressure normal..feel great. Talked with my PCP and decided I no longer needed the BP medication and I told him I wanted to stop the statins but stay with the carvedilol. We did this for 3 months and then did follow up blood work...yikes! all my labs went up. Triglicerides 103, Cholesterol 404, LDL 316. Glucose 109, IR 6. I know that carvedilol increases cholesterol so with out the statins maybe that's why my labs are high? All the drs in my area are conventional in terms of treatment so, I guess I am on my own.

[@guflportgyrl]

Being on your own isn't such a bad thing! They are bought and owned by big pharma, while YOU have YOUR best interest at heart! Follow Dr Berry and others like him and you will be just fine!

[@Ogikc]

Would be nice to hear Bart Kay's take on this as well.

[@michaelbeck8841]

Went healthy keto to clean the liver lost 60 pounds in 8 months at 60 years old . Then slowly went to full on carnivore lost an additional 10 lbs within a month. I have plenty of energy, no longer need testosterone replacement.have plenty of energy and inflammation is way down . I used to do the high protein lean 6meals a day . That worked well until I got in my late 50’s . Then it made me very sick . Thanks to dr Berry , cheffe and berg . Most informative accurate health information I have ever received Thank you for what you guys are doing !

[@sthenzel]

I was only 13 mins in and I already wondered if the patient in question is taking Vit D without K2, while having a calcium-rich diet. And what does ´ketogenic´ diet mean in this case? What did the patient actually eat? High amounts of plant-based fats, maybe? Bad fats and too much calcium in blood and tissue and the arteries may not like it, I think. Apart from that, even I see the massive holes in this case report. Either the authors are not as bright as they should be or they have an agenda (or sponsors).

[@slayerment]

Ketogenic means he ate a heavy red meat diet like lasagna and beef enchiladas 😂😂. Prob has diabetes as well at this point.

[@Robertjim7669]

​@@slayerment lasagna and enchiladas aren't keto.

[@karwood7]

After 8 years of Keto my HDL is so high and my LDL is low. Before I started Keto my LDL and HDL were terrible and I was diagnosed with insulin resistance. I'm 72 and have lost faith in the medical field.

[@peterpetino9590]

I have been on keto for a little over a year, my a1c 5.2, and I lost 60lbs.

[@marius2k8]

That Conclusion paragraph looks like a spasm of the statin industry losing its evil revenue stream.

[@hortensemason4073]

One bit of information, presented years ago, that stood out for me at that time, was research showing high carb with high fat caused a health problem of some kind, exactly what I don't remember. 😢 I have wondered for a long time why and how such different camps as plant based, even high starch, and carnivore and keto can claim reversal of disease , even cancer. I remember me being on the fence, not fully in, eating both higher fat and some high sugar things such as Dr. Pepper, put me at a greater risk for some kind of perceived negative health results, according to that research. I think it might have been presented by Paul Mason. I just remember it was a researcher that was calm and methodical. Was high carb present, stood out for me as information critical to consider in meat research.

[@Cali736]

Thank you Dr. Ken. for not caving to the evil cabal.

[@petertownsend252]

If he was aware of this paper and willing, I would like to see a followup interview with the subject 51 year old patient. I wonder if he is aware of how badly he has been used by the author(s) of the paper? He should have the right and a forum to speak on his own behalf in the 1st person. Let's hope he contacts Dr. Berry. I would really like to hear what he has to say about all this in his own words.

[@SL-kt2ep]

How do we know he was on the ketogenic diet? Are we solely relying on his claims of following the diet?

[@ascensionbias7528]

Send in Bart Kay

[@tawnyaelliott1268]

You did not really touch on the information in the abstract that said they got the patient's LDL down to 14. OMG!! This cannot be healthy

[@brenttuttle7268]

I would not want to be that guy with a 14 LDL😮

[@ambarnes1722]

After writing a term paper, researching more than 40 articles... I can see Norwitz is on point, not enough information available in the paper. My personal opinion is this paper adds to the hype of misleading data just like social media (gasp). The meandering descriptions having to be picked apart, put in order & without reliable data to back it up. 🙄I wish they had to wear patches on their lab coats like Nascar sponsors because this study was brought to you by XYZ Corp.

[@Andy-sh9eq]

If it is one patient, which it is as you say then the research data is useless

[@homeforfjfonderie2865]

Alarmist, sensational hit piece in a respected journal: Congrats, cardiac medical industry is sufficiently threatened by KD to allow "ads" like this in their journals.

[@brucemoose926]

Most GPs and cardiologist will skim the abstract and have their prior beliefs reinforced: Meat bad. Fat bad. LDL bad. Statins good.
