The 8 Things Causing Illness Most Doctors Can't Treat | Dr. Robert Lustig

[@markwhite6782]

61 year old arrogant man here. What Dr. Lustig doesn't know is about 3 years ago he saved my life. I listen to everything the guy says on every video. I started with his popular sugar video and it was eye opening. Since then I have lost 52 pounds and I'm literally off 7 medications I was on treating blood pressure, triglycerides, asthma, arthritis and RLS. I'm now 61 and in better health then I have been since my 20's because I totally stopped sugar, ultra-processed foods, Omega 6 oils and high carbohydrates and started eating real food. The weight came off very fast and I never went hungry. Wish I could tell him to his face what an impact he has made with me.

[@stripedrajang3571]

Wow. It sounds humbly to me. Why do you think you're arrogant?

[@danoyse8233]

Seeing that you referred to yourself as arrogant, you became humbled by disease and made a decision to sort yourself out. I have just retired from nursing after 47 years. There is something wonderful about giving professional evidence based advice and seeing the positive outcome, with any level of restored health or independence. However, there is nothing more soul destroying than someone who won’t even try. Someone who wants a pill, which may help but side effects of meds cause more issues. You can take a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink. Superb to hear you took the bull by the horns and got a result.Best wishes from UK

Because of the shortage of doctors here in Ontario, Canada I was without a family doctor for 10 years. When I finally got the call that there was a doctor with a space for me, I went in for a complete physical and some blood work. She phoned me a week later and suggested that even though my weight is perfect and my blood work is perfect, I should go on Lipitor because of my family history "just to be safe". Luckily I am skeptical and outspoken. I said "oh you mean the family history of my parents who both smoke 2 packs a day, one parent who is an alcoholic, both are not active and don't concern themselves about their diet. Both parents have had heart attacks and various cancers. That family history?" I am 68 years old. Never smoked. Don't drink alcohol. Been eating a vegetarian diet (would now be called whole food plant based) since 1979. I exercise daily. Stretching and weights every other day. Walk 10km every day. Needless to say, I did not take the Lipitor. I haven't seen the doctor since. I am healthier than she is!

[@dorisatkinson7259]

I am an admitted sugar junkie, and it’s catching up with me. Listening to this is inspirational, but like any addiction, easier said than done. One thing I have noticed about basic primary care questions is that they always ask how much alcohol you consume, but I have never had that question asked about sugar, and no doctor has ever pushed or even nudged me about losing weight. Sugar consumption should be a standard intake question.

Then again some people don't want to listen. My husband has type 2 diabetes. Loves dairy queen, eats tons of carbs, drinks 36 cans of diet coke a week etc. His doctor told him today he's in great shape, keep up the good work. Here's prescription for more statins and a glucose monitor, which medicare will not pay for until you are on insulin. I gave up a long time ago. At least he eats a good healthy dinner every night because I cook it. I can't control the rest of his life. I love the content of all these videos.

OMG 😱! Such powerful information that so many people don’t want to hear. I’ve saved my life by cutting basically all sugars and changing my whole food intake by real and proper diet, about 3 years ago. I was having UTI’s all the time. By now, no more! I was just given so many kinds of antibiotics for 34 years and no one talked to me about food and my « eating lifestyle »! I try to explain my findings to people around me but they laugh when I tell them sugar and processed food is evil. Keep on the great work ❤❤❤❤

Sugar is in so many processed foods that people feed to their children, and it starts them on a sugary diet for often the rest of their lives. And sadly for kids and adults in the hospital they are fed a lot of sugar and unhealthy foods.

I went to see a specialist to fix my problem of having chronic headaches. He offered me a pill to alleviate the headaches. I came here to find out why I had chronic headaches. He looks at me as if I told him something beyond what any patient would dare ask. Next doc: He asked me if I ever had a test to find out if I needed a CPAP machine? I did. This was not a solution either. With the help of an endocrinologist was to cut out sugar.

Exactly - same goes for eating real food. Back in the early 60’s, there were maybe a couple fast food outlets back then, McDonald’s was getting started, Winstead‘s, Funhouse Pizza, and a few others were sit down inside restaurants, but majority of individuals ate at home or brought their meals from home. Today, you can’t drive down a street without going past 15 - 20 outlets and beverages are so large from the beginning where they were 1/3 the size. Back then, people were physically walking and outside more, today they inside or are sitting mesmerized staring at there phone all day. Instead of being physically active, they are sitting with a bored attitude sucking up sugar drinks or processed snacks then wondering how I am so big and sluggish compared to yesteryears. Money back then was tight, today money is thrown out of the pocket for junk - Starbucks, Donuts, Fastfood outlets, new phones, new cars & trucks that cost $70,000 - $100,000. Buy, buy, buy, spend, spend, spend. Then you look towards tomorrow and listen where is my money and health gone to?

I recently grumbled to my GP about the weight gain that follows as a consequence of a pill that I take. Went from 9 stone to 10 and a half, at 5' 7" not quite overweight, but almost. I grilled him about the mechanism by which this happens - and he said, 'well, it makes you crave sugar'! Crazy world! I've decided to change the drug, but due to the UK doctor shortage, I couldn't pass the triage to get an in person consultation. On researching the drug, it says that if the patient gains over 3lb in the first few weeks, it should be deprescribed. I don't think harassed GPs have the time for look into drug contraindications.

I was told by a physician that to be covered under their malpractice insurance they cannot deviate from the standard of care. Meaning that they must follow preset guidelines for care and providing a treatment or offering guidance outside of these standards would be considered malpractice. Problem is, these standards and a large portion of the medical curriculum are greatly controlled by the pharmaceutical industry. Gone are the days when a doctor can use his brain and assessment skills to diagnose and treat. When was the last time you have gone to a doctor and been asked basic questions like how well you sleep, what type of diet do you consume, do you have regular bowel movements? The standard questions now are what’s your preferred pronoun, which gender do you identify as, and have you had all of your 500 CDC recommended vaccines. Our body is not assessed as whole system working together, it is divide by systems. If it’s your heart see a cardiologist, your lungs, a pulmonologist, podiatrist, urologist, hematologist, etc. as if each of these systems are stand alone and don’t work in unison for optimum health. There is not one person that looks at your body as a whole. PCP’s no longer have this skill. They are just a gatekeeper that does basic labs and testing so they can refer you somewhere else.

[@alisonkayveig9539]

It's the reason why we spend so much in (so called Health Care which should be called Keeping people unhealthy and returning customers). How can we overhaul the system. It needs a big change immediately or is this their depopulation plan? Sure seems like they want everyone dead.

💯 % ! I’ve noticed this even in my own practice and a lot more since COVID. The breed of new doctors that are paralyzed without an algorithm to follow is alarming.

Can we come up with a plan to reverse their symptoms?? There was NO RESPONSE! it's been frustrating to see them get sicker, while the medicine dosage just goes up! Oh & recently the Dr did not want to do anything, because my parent is older!!! When you get to a certain age... a bone spur in the shoulder causing a lot of pain does not need any help from you... after you have already tried cortisol shots to no avail!

Addiction to sugar, poverty, high price of healthy food and mono crop farming. They put corn and sugar in everything processed. Even our produce has less nutrients and vitamins due to poor soil. Let's not forget about toxic pesticides. I eat organic, grassfed beef, Pastured raised chicken eggs that cost more but healthier. I reversed a lot of my health issues 15 years ago by changing my diet. I used to have chronic bronchitis/pneumonia, sinus and ear infections. I had asthma and severe allergies. I was over weight and swelling joint pain. I haven't had to take antibiotics or steroids since changing my diet. I have celiac and hashimoto's. I take no medications. I do intermittent fasting and low carb. I stay off grains, gluten and dairy. I do better low carb. I have sustained a health weight for 15 years. I never got covid. I was vaccinated for covid and had boosters. I did get flare up of my autoimmune and also a metallic taste that went away with intermittent fasting and eating no processed food. The last two years working on my mental health and burnt out nurse 30 years at the bedside. I have slow gut motility and working on vagus nerve stimulation. I do Wim Hof breathing and cold plunging. I use a tens unit also. I struggle with ptsd and depression. I get gallbladder attacks and no sludge or stones. Most likely it slowly releases bile and then my whole digestive system slows down. I get IBS-C. I go to a therapist and 12 step meetings for codependency. Things are getting better. I do believe mental health is important to change your mindset. I was taught to care for others and not care for myself. I had a lot of negative and fearful thinking. I would get emotionally dysregulated and then over eat on carbs. Severely obese patients have more problems then over eating junk. The mental component has to be addressed.

I beg to differ on some of these points. I had some of these and "cured" them by eliminating alcohol, only getting fructose from whole fresh fruit (not juices or similar), reducing chocolate (reduced theobromide), changing my exercise routine with an extra hour a day of low impact (the equivalent of walking an extra 3.5 miles in one go), eliminating coffee, and reducing salt. The result? BP from 145/100 to 130/80 on a bad day. On most days when relaxed my BP is now 110/68. Ah yes I reduced my weight by 70 pounds as well. The fat around my liver has reduced by 80% to slightly below normal levels. I have actually increased my calorie intake but the increase is purely from beans, pulses, and vegetables (not counting potatoes or grains),

PLEASE LIST: The 8 Things

[@patrickfitzgerald409]

Have you actually watched this you numpty?

[@tashaamey660]

There were 2 lists of 8: type2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia, fatty liver disease, PCOS then i think he called these diseases that aren't diseases: glycation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, membrane instability, inflammation, methylation, autophagy Next stop: google, right?

[@davidmusial1611]

He should mention minerals prevent and treat chronic disease

[@allanpatterson7653]

I think that pouring antibiotics down the drain does not help either. So the anti biotics may kill some bacteria but it will only wound a lot more which get an immunity. The original patient may stop taking the antibiotic before it is gone from the system it comes back immune to that antibiotic.

Awesome video, thank you.

Brilliant

[@withmessagesofvirtueiamunt2380]

Number one way to treat anything is to get your patient to care about themselves. No the case today. The doctors don’t care for their patients, so the patient cares less about themselves. Treatment starts with care. Haven’t found that here yet.

The most fascinating of talks. I must buy the book. Although I thought I'd downloaded an old podcast when I heard COVID mentioned.

"Modern medicine doesn't respond well to new ideas." So much right with that statement, and so much wrong.

add the VAX to you list of disease causes

[@flamingofan5411]

Yep. A have a lot of friends with new issues and most of them are finally associating them with the vax. The docs can’t find reasons or solutions. Some docs even saying, yep. It’s one of the side effects. 😡

So is this why when your sugars are low or under good control with lower insulin ,your blood pressure lowers?that Is exactly what I see in my patients

[@virginiaviking6723]

It would be great if we (UK) were offered an blood test if were showing symptoms of any of these. I have cholesterol test but no idea of I have a fatty liver? If I did, and the result was bad, I could take and implement dietary advice.

[@vcbrittney4072]

Contrary to the brainwashing that high cholesterol and a fatty liver are caused by a red meat and a high fat diet, it is actually a result of a sugar diet. A high sugar diet leads to a fatty liver especially in correlation with a diagnosis of type II diabetes due to the excess sugar being converted to fat and stored in the liver where it can quickly be converted back to sugar for energy when circulating sugar in the blood stream drops below a certain point. When the diet is constantly high in sugar, the liver doesn’t have the need to release any of the fat that it is storing and therefore becomes very fatty and cannot function properly. A fatty liver and high cholesterol can be reversed by removing sugar from the diet and allowing the liver the opportunity to convert the stored fat back into sugar so it can be used for energy.

Sign up for your public housing waitlist now if you can't bring yourself to fix your processed food addiction. I work with endless clients as a housing advocate - case after case of 20-70 year olds with a list of health conditions and either on the street, in a shelter, or being evicted.

What do the "people in 3rd world countries eat?" I've always been under the impression that they were mostly malnourished and subsisted on things like rice and other starches (hence all the videos and photos of kids with emaciated limbs and enormous bloated bellies?)

[@dianacoles1017]

Those photos are from times of famine. The third world is more prone to periods of famine but it is by no means the norm. In prosperous times many people in the developing world eat a diet high in a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables, grains and pulses and not much meat. Until the west gets to give them the benefits of global capitalism they are not eating ultra processed food.

Red meat is a superfood, don’t listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. The biggest problem for people is the vegetable oils they cook with.

[@leonardgibney2997]

Doctors are good at sending you away without a diagnosis. This has happened to me many times. For them if what you're presenting with isn't in the handbook of diseases or instruction manual they're stumped. I often have a better idea of what plagues me than them. But it's swings and roundabouts. A surgeon recently restored my sight.
