I have 2 friends who were on statins, beta blockers and diuretics who decided to go carnivore after my success. Between the 2 of them they have lost almost 100 lbs and all meds except one statin are gone from both. It works for everyone I have met who sticks to it without exception. I have never met an obese carnivore.

which gives you energy for doing sports all day

Good for them
Sounds about right from a future physician
from one healer to another, i think the two of you would do better if you acknowledge some truths will be unknowable (humility) and other *truths* may not be so (skepticism). the best physicians balance this well, strive to be honest with their patients and never shun questions. also, everyone, at some point or another, has benefited (or will benefit) from a physicianâs expertise, even if that individual is flawed or the system is corrupt. bashing an entire profession seems shortsighted, disingenuous and petty. i hope one day someone will be able to change your perspective âđź
I acknowledge that the majority of surgeons improve peopleâs lives and have the ability to heal. This is not my experience with physicians at all. The majority I have dealt with and it has been many having 4 children (1 with a congenital heart condition) and a large dental practice in which I am privvy to the health/rxs of my patients do not heal patients. They manage symptoms with an increasing list of medications over the years. I have many close friends who are physicians and most are miserable as their care of patients is dictated by either insurance companies, hospital health systems or corporate group practices.
Im also sick of listening to fat doctors who have little to know knowledge of nutrition who rely on their credentials for superiority all the while their patients are less healthy and on more meds.
Eh. By the time you need a surgeon you needed a lot of other things first. I see most of the medical system as a cash grab.
Preach!
fair enough. just gets old getting bashed from all sides when youâre doing the best you can in a demanding profession with inevitable bad outcomes. iâm sure youâre a wonderful dentist (sincerely) and do your best to counsel patients on all aspects of prevention, yet they still come with their bombed mouths for you to fix. it may baffle you that people ignore the most common sense approach, but youâre there to help with the tools available and hopefully without judgement and arrogance to cloud your ability to heal. focusing on the warped incentives (for example, taking moral hazard out of the mix by letting people choose with their own âskin in the gameâ) would be more constructive than leading people to think theyâre seeing crooks with every appointment (especially in times of vulnerability and suffering when youâre most prone to emotional decision making). thereâs bad doctors and dentists, because there are bad people, but we owe the good ones enough respect to not generalize the whole lot
Of course there are bad dentists, but generally it is a dentist with poor handskills or poor ethics. I really donât know of a single dentist who doesnât advise practicing oral hygiene. Why brush when thatâs kind of a hassle and we can easily fix any cavity you might get in less than an hour. This is akin to how most physicians treat nutrition with patients in my experience. They believe itâs too hard and they can prescribe life long meds so why bother?
Iâm going opposite to carnivore in the sense of meat since Iâve noticed from experience of cooking it over the years that something unusual with the texture and consistency is apparent.
I was vegan for almost 3 years and quite healthy except anemia. All my numbers are improved on carnivore though. I get my most my grass fed beef directly from ranchers and love the taste and quality.
