A keto doctor


(Charles Mitchard) #1

I dont know if this is the place to post this but thought I would let the admins move it if its in the wrong place.
Got rushed into hospital the other week with a kidney stone. I have broken my leg, finger, spine plus many other injuries from a lifetime of having fun. Never have I been in so much pain as that evening.
Only a 2.5mm stone but ARGHHHHHH.
The pain eventually went away so they thought it had passed but I got a bit of a talking to about level of ketones in the urine sample. I was expecting this so didnt say much other than to say I was following a keto diet for my diabetes. Yeah, I was told off, in fact he was downright rude and very disparaging.
Two days later it struck again and I was rushed in once more.
Kept on pain killers and obviously uring samples multi tested.
What really surprised me was the (different) Doctor this time round.
I warned her that my urine will have ketones as I’m following a keto diet.
Well blow me down with a feather, she then said “Well done, so am I”. “Awesome isnt it:”
We got talking and she left with the comment “I cant talk about it with the medics here as its heretical but keep on going, the benefits are well worth it.”
Looks like some are turning round.
My doctor is impressed with my results but has said he cannot tell others to try as its totally against all the guidelines he has to follow.
He was also very impressed with the way my cholesterol levels had reacted from the heavy consumption of animal fats. Completely against all the dogma preached today.
