I want to apologize for some of my terse messages over the last few weeks.
It’s a result of frustration with the current situation which as I see as this:
In the same way the UCI (cycling’s governing body) shielded Lance Armstrong from his positive doping results (this is an established fact) they failed to do the right thing because there was too much money flowing in as a result of the “beats cancer - wins the Tour de France” story.
In my view, it is the same with the American Diabetic Association, and the American Heart Association. There is too much money in the fight diabetes and heart camps. For every time a medical scientist publishes a rigid paper showing the benefits of X, there is a corporation willing to pay for an poorly laid out observational paper showing the opposite of X. End result - “Coke with HFCS is just as healthy as Coke with sugar or even a serving of OJ” And they’d be partially right as long as that serving of OJ wasn’t at midnight in a Brentwood garden.
But the avg American is easily fooled and just reads the headline as they eat a McGriddle, hash browns and Coca-Cola each morning.
I’ve realized my former primary Dr. is either inept, obtuse, corrupt or best case, hamstrung by the standards of the associations and governing bodies that would prevent him from supporting and embracing KETO and IF for his hundreds of morbidly obese patients.
Maybe if the members of those bodies and my former primary had to cut off limbs of diabetics on a weekly basis like Dr. Gary Fettke, they might have the conscience or courage to do what we all know is the right thing.
I don’t believe in conspiracies. Oswald shot Kennedy, the US went to the moon and the large medical associations don’t want a cure. They want to dip their cups, now buckets, into the river of cash flowing to treat the symptoms of these illnesses without ever looking at the root cause.
What other explanation can there be for these associations to continue to recommend 200-300 gms of carbs daily? Go to hell Dr. Ancel Keys, and every last one of your adherents and lemming practitioners.
This morning, I tried to explain the link between sugar, fructose, inflammation, CRP and IL-6 to a diabetic friend who is MO, coronary disease and the walking definition of ‘doing the same thing- expect different results’ insanity that used to be funny to me. His Dr. either ‘never told him that’, told him ‘something different’ or the complete opposite - that’s if he even heard what his Dr said.
In just a few years, I will be standing next to him after they cut off a foot or have kept him alive after a massive coronary just long enough to say good bye and take zero satisfaction with - I should have listened to you.
People are sick, people are dying. It’s a pandemic. I’ve been to three funerals this year and was a pallbearer at 2 of them.
Like Fettke states #wecantwait
It’s time to be as “mad as hell” and “not going to take this anymore”.
My apologies to those that are truly trying and those that are patient enough to try to help for those that aren’t yet.
But right now I’m as mad as hell because the answer has been there all along. The problem is not only is it essentially ‘free’ the US and perhaps the world economy would be decimated if we gave up the modern fad diet of sugar, carbs and processed foods.
Imagine the local Walmart devoid of its middle aisles and all of those farm sized people looking endlessly for Cool Ranch, Snackwells and 100 calorie sized cookies servings they’ll have 10 of.
Why do they even have powered grocery carts? Isn’t that god’s way of saying you’re too fat to shop?
Yeah, the photo below is funny but it also makes me as mad as hell.
