What FOOD Does Dr. Berg Eat?

(8 year Ketogenic Veteran) #23

Great. Now I want a salad.

Salad is what my food eats. :wink:

I don’t know Dr. Berg from Adam, but when I see Dr. in front of your name and you don’t have crippling student loans from med school, it feels like you are taking advantage of authority fallacy.

If he’s just Mr. Berg, Doctor of Chiropractics, then you may view his credential with a bit more in line with the actual credential.

Dr. Fung is a bariatric surgeon or somesuch. Real doctor, real insurance, real loan bills, etc. still fallible. But at least he not only finished the whole nine yards of education and got board certified by some group of peers.

Again, I dunno Dr. Berg at all. Few enough Keto allies in the world. So it’s good to have one, even if he might be casually taking advantage of people’s credential bias.

Nephrologist, IIRC.

I’d like to put on my admin hat for a moment here and encourage everyone to spend less time tearing down others or engaging in credentialism, and instead address the ideas. I know Matt already addressed this, but I want to reiterate…if the trend continues, we’ll lock the topic, and start removing posts.

I’ve been binge listening to Dr Berg’s podcast over the last few days and find it quite entertaining and he does seem to know what he’s talking about, certainly more than Jimmy Moore who has no medical qualifications at all yet is held in high regard by many.

Yes he sells his own products, but everyone has to make a living and he’s no different. There are very few podcasts that have no advertising and no kickbacks going on.

This was the topic over several bottles of wine years ago between my cousin and I (we tend to talk into the wee hours of the morning every time we get together). He attended medical school in the US, doctored at the ER’s in Oakland and the bay area before being forced back to Canada (along with his American wife) by US immigration (seems they take exception when you’ve been on education visa’s for 14 years) :smiley:
Anywho - his opinion was to not trust anyone who says that they’re a nutritionist, as doctors really aren’t taught enough nutrition in medical school to even fill one chapter in a book.

Me, I think the AMA (and other medical associations around the world) should stop succumbing to the thick wallets of the pharmaceutical industry and be educating physicians on food first…drugs and surgery should only be in extreme cases.

Why revive a ten-month-old thread to say something that was said 10 months ago?

#32

To be honest @6dbd47fb91a07cea573e it sounds as though you might work for Mr Berg.

You know that if anyone goes and looks at your profile that it looks kinda like you joined up under a fake profile for just one purpose, Scientology boy?

Speech was over-the-top. :wink: Thinking the same thing.

(Allie) #35

TLDR

Seems like advertising to me.

(Doug) #36

Disinformation taken directly or paraphrased directly from Berg’s clinic - there is stuff previously put out that is exactly or nearly exactly the same, with the same delusional tone, i.e. “They are really going to believe this.”

(Allie) #37

They clearly think we are stupid.

No stupidity in these ketone fuelled brains :joy:
