I have come to the opinion the creators of the infamous food pyramid should be buried beneath it. They may actually be accountable for as many deaths over the past 5 or so decades as are the China flu influencer crowd
Very cute:) Having been to Egypt 3 times, I can attest to the power of those darn pyramids. Now this is where it gets interesting, we still can't figure them out without some insider (psychic) input, as well as a few star-traveler insights.
Even leaving the science fiction beliefs aside, if one has even a passing familiarity with the Pyramids and the claimed level of technology that existed when they were built, it's still a damned impressive achievement and borders on the very limits of what was humanly possible. And there are even more difficult to explain buildings and such in other parts of the world.
Meet a British Army engineer who was stationed in Egypt for many years and studied the Pyramids. He came away convinced that humans did NOT build them!
Do you think most physicians have adequate expertise and knowledge to advise their patients on optimum diet, nutrition, vitamins and supplements? I have never in my life had a GP discuss and or even mentioned these subjects to me.
Which is why you need to stop using a conventional MD. Only see ones like functional or holistic medicine docs, nurse practitioners, osteopathic or even chiropractic practitioners who can and do order regular blood test and make recommendations on supplements. There are even “telehealth” medical groups around country you can use.
I don't have a primary doctor either (despite having "good health insurance" and paying a lot for it). I haven't had one in years, even before the scamdemic.
When I was young, I had constant yeast infections around my nuts, on my inner thighs. The doctors all were so apt to provide creams, salves, and pills to "fix me", but not one of them ever told me the reason for these happening, and how to stop them permanently.
So in my early 40's I met a "health practitioner, as an acquaintance. I just so happened to met him, and his wife (also a practitioner), and met for other reasons. So, one day his wife asks me how healthy I was, and if I ever got sick. I told her about the "jock itch I got from wrestling some dude in high school, my annual bronchitis bouts, and so on". At the same time I claimed I was perfectly healthy. Little did I know.
She asked if I was ever on antibiotics? I told her when I was young, I was on them for tonsilitis, and other things. Once my tonsils were ripped out, then I didn't get strep throat anymore.
So she prescribed me to start repairing my immune system, which she said was shot. I had no idea, but decided to follow her recommendations. Within a year, I no longer had any yeast infections, I stopped getting bronchitis, and I rarely, if ever saw another doctor. I'm 56 and I haven't seen a rash since that time period before I met that practitioner.
So, NO, no doctor ever wanted to "cure me", but they sure did like prescribing medications for me.
The health practitioner told me that "your gut flora was descimated by the anitbiotics, chlorinated tap water, and booze." She said that "your intestines are critical to your health, and without the good bacterium, your body (intestines) cannot properly absorb the nutrients needed to allow your immune system to function. "
My inability to fight off standard environmental fungi which my body manifested as yeast infections, jock itch, toe fungus, was from poor intestine flora. Also the frequency of common colds, which lead (in me) to bronchitis, which every fall, I would suffer from.
Her advice was " You need to replace the damaged /dead bacterium with new good bacterium. Go to the health food store and get PB-8. Acidophilis pills will help your digestive tract come back into proper function, and eventually your immune system will get the absorbed minerals through your intestines necessary for repairing itself. Make sure you refrigerate it once you buy it, as it helps extend the potency of the product."
I believe wholeheartedly what she said, and i still take PB-8 today.
She made zero money off of me, and simply told me this because i was then involved in their lives from a chance meeting.
I'm sure other, higher quality commercial sources are available today, but this worked for myself, and my wife, who no longer had vaginal yeast infections, after starting the PB-8. My dogs take it now, as well
In fairness, in my mid-40s when I had borderline "high cholesterol" but otherwise was healthy, my GP had me try (I think it was) Brewer's Yeast, Red Yeast Rice and forget what else. It made virtually no difference in my lipid panel, so I discontinued. Alas, my health plans changed and I had to find a new doctor. NB: this was when I still ate a relatively unhealthy diet. Only very recently have I become more attuned to eating well (age 61). Fortunately, again no serious healhty issues. I'd been on the usual statin and BP med for a few years (I was naive) and after doing some reading, decided they were not for me. I decided it was time to become healthier in diet and supplements. My current GP, after learning I dropped all the preventative meds, did suggest I watch my salt intake. Does that count as nutrition advice? (For the record, by now accustomed to looking up stuff...yes, it's ture that sodium raises blood pressure...a tiny bit. As far as I can tell, it is only a risk in the old and frail and maybe not a really big deal even then.)
Agree! I have read many times that most doctors do not receive a single semester on nutrition or anything that helps the body heal on it's on, etc. They just push pharmaceuticals on you and don't even talk about side effects. You really have to fight them too.
Goes beyond cognitive health. Good brain nutrition PREVENTS the need to prescribe SSRI's and etc. Prevents shootings..the last in Maine! PTSD, PPD and other mental derangements would be reversed if the physicians were taught the value.!
Went through two "medical weight management" programs. They both pushed my body into rebound weight gain and the second one, in particular, seemed to be geared for failure and a push toward bariatric surgery (which I didn't do). All I did to get weight gain that wouldn't go away is get pregnant. I hadn't changed anything else and since then changes to my diet to make it mostly grain free, low in dairy, higher in vegetables, low in sugar, etc. haven't made a difference. Neither does exercise. Neither have supplements.
Sounds like you are adjusting your diet and life in the right direction. Some advice I have read is to remove all seed oils from your diet and increase the amount of calorues from protein. Based on what you have already done I would not give up and does take time to lose weight. Slowly losing weight may be a better long term as well. Also, stress seems to be a factor for me re weight gain.
Seriously get a better MD or chiropractor or naturopath or medical clinic like The Wellness Company (that does Telehealth) or OnePeak Medical (which we use in Oregon), that will do more thorough blood tests and evaluations, especially on thyroid to include freeT4. Dr. Malone’s recommended supplements here are on target but you do need some one to monitor you with them.
Here is an example of what you are talking about, I think. Whether this theory completely explains cancer is not the point but resistance to considering is the problem.
Eat food as close to its natural state as possible and remember the lipid theory of cardiovascular disease is BOGUS!
I eat lots of eggs, raw full fat Jersey milk (from our runs into PA, good bless the Amish!) raw milk cheese + kefir and lots of grass fed beef. Never been healthier 💪🏼
Experimented with the milk and real deal yougurt and determined it is an inflammatory for me. Ah well. I do like dairy, but I limit it to small amounts of real cheese. Can't bring myself to use the "substitute" stuff. My daughter is a teen and practically lives off milk.
Creatine is a remarkable muscle hydration key. Long and short muscle fibers love this benefit. While we make our own measurable creatine, but as we age we fall short of better best amount. So a supplement is easy to incorporate. I do this almost every day. If I do heavy leg press or deadlift I can sometimes have the dread of charlie horses in lower leg calf's if forget to take some prior to exercise. But it works fine after a good leg workout as well. I get leg cramps from winter snow shoe romps.
It has never let me down as a rapid remedy. It fits in nicely with a whey protein intake bump for real active folks over 50. That's when declining nutrition values creep in to bring around loss of strength.
But you can choose to stay on top with a little fitness knowledge.
I haven't had a personal physician ever. An occasional need for a doctor is always a crap shoot, I always affirm and trust (as well as my own intuition) in the one presented to me (I know, woo-woo). I don't recommend this as a practice for everyone, it has worked for me. I have extraordinary faith in the "flow". I also am great at manifesting parking spots. (This was in response to seeing your personal physician about supplements) Come on doc, let's talk.
I took vitamin D3 as a child. My mom was big into vitamins. She called it the sunshine vitamin. I take vitamin D3 now as well. My cardiologist recommended magnesium and potassium for good heart health. I will have to check into creatine.
I would agree with these… because of my own health issues both my Internal Medicine and Functional Medicine doctors have recommended Glutathoine, high dose and usually in gel or liquid format.
I also take Creatine. I am 68F concerned about bone density and that is why I am taking it, but I am glad to know it helps with cognition. I have read that it can raise creatinine levels on blood tests, but is not related to kidney damage. So, I will stop taking it about a week before my annual blood tests. That is coming up, so I plan to discuss with my doctor.
What to make of the vitamins claiming 125% or 1,000% or 38% of your daily recommended amount? I just want my daily recommended amount, no more, no less.
The RDAs of most nutrients are extremely under-researched and the results of a medically-dominated "health" system. I would never take those numbers as holy, though many of them might be decent guidelines. If you really want to know what is right for you, get full blood work done and consult a good nutritionist or specialist in Functional Medicine.
I assume those daily recommended amounts are inadequate at maintaining health even if eating a proper diet. Foods like cereal, pastas, breads, and others all contain added vitamins/minerals and we think our body is absorbing them. Even in the 1970 there was a real concern that the soil food stuff grows were sorely depleted of natural vitamins. I believe that most vitamin supplements are synthesized. Foods grown in vitamin rich soils should be preferred. Supplementation is probably required but the exact proportion between, say the B vitamins, seems way off. I suppose high use over time can wear out the organs that must remove excessive amounts.
Natural is all well and good. But you overlook one possible issue: Doctor Atkins in some of his books makes this point: For some supplementation goals, especially to treat certain conditions, supplements are the only way to get enough. You literally cannot get enough from food sources. Vitamin E is given as an example of this.
Just an uneducated guess, Mona, but I always figured that was a result of them ( a mineral , say ) being chemically bound as a molecule in such a proportion that it was cheaper to manufacture and list, rather than reducing/oxidizing
Thank you very much! This will be helpful for my own review a d for discussion with my Doctor. She recommended ilnot taking vit d or multivitamins. I get very minimal sunshine year round. Today was eyeshot day, so not seeing well
I was taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 for several months until my neurologist ordered a blood test because he thought that was too much. This was the result:
Vitamin D 25-Hydroxy
Your Value
147.7 ng/mL
Standard Range
30.0 - 90.0 ng/mL
So he had me stop taking it for 2 weeks and then reduce the dose. I now take 2000 IU. What’s the right call here?
My primary care doc advised me to cut back on the D3 supplements. He said levels above 50 ng/mL would cause a build up of calcium in heart muscles for a person at my age (low 70s).
Maybe -- that is precisely the type of risk I was speaking about in my comment elsewhere about taking extra supplements. If you have the resources and the inclination, consult "the literature." Your doctor may be right. But it's equally possible he's wrong. Perhaps the risk exists, but it's outweighed by other benefits that a certain Vitamin D level provides. The answers are not always easy to find.
Or maybe they are. For example in the Vitamin D case, I googled “Vitamin D maximum tolerable limit” and got a huge number of hits. Most of the sources seem to say 4000 IU.
Again, the usual disclaimers apply: What’s safe for most might be harmful to some. Or for certain conditions, taking a far greater dose might be valid – but perhaps best done only under medical supervision.
Please see the research articles cited and discussed at: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/. This now begins with vitamin D3 supplemental intake recommendations by New Jersey based Emeritus Professor of Medicine, Sunil Wimalawansa, to attain at least the 50 ng/mL (125 nmol/L) circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D level the immune system needs to function properly, without the need for blood tests.
For people not suffering from obesity, the ratio is 70 to 90 IUs (0.8 to 10.0 micrograms) per day per kilogram body weight. People suffering from obesity need higher ratios.
For 70 kg 154 lb without obesity, 0.125 milligrams (5000 IU) a day, on average is a good amount. "5000 IU" a day might seem like a lot, but it is a gram every 22 years, and pharma grade vitamin D costs about USD$2.50 a gram, ex-factory.
Unless you think you are just a body, you are NOT what you eat.
Nutrition however impacts body health and body health is very important for proper human functioning.
There are cases, however, of people with extreme body problems who are very sharp mentally. That is only an indicator of something we should all know is true but don't: We are not our bodies. In academia this truth is given very little attention or support. We desperately need that to change.
I had a major health event in April/May 2022 where my kidneys shut down and there was concern that it might be permanent. Thankfully, all is well now. One of the key factors was my creatinine level being too high. I'm sure this is different than creatine, but it's odd that the two words are so similar.
6 years 100 percent carnivore, myself, no supplements, no more meds, and in the best health of my life at 71. Same for tens of thousands now of others. Many more benefits than simple weight loss - if you are willing check out the docs I referenced and the voluminous testimonials from so many people who have resolved autoimmune diseases, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and many more. The evidence is there, for the open minded, nothing illogical about it.

King Tut would have loved such advice.
He died a boy king.
He was buried in that darn pyramid. Poor kid. 😂

Edgar Cayce had some information about who and how the Pyramids were built. Worth reading, if you ask me SD!
That must be the part in those scriptures that claims "all will be revealed" 😂
I'm convinced it's eons old space traveler stuff. 👽
I agree!

Ya, I dropped my GP a couple of years ago when he told me the vaxxes were safe and effective. Have a telehealth doc now.
I don't have a primary doctor either (despite having "good health insurance" and paying a lot for it). I haven't had one in years, even before the scamdemic.
A brilliant Chiropractor/Friend kepr Me out of a C5-6 cervical fusion. It was “not good”. Ed
Ditto.

My recommendation. Get you blood levels assessed more often - mid-winter and mid-summer.
Everyone varies on the amount needed (or not needed)- but 147 is a little high.
2,000 IU may or may not be too low.
Vit D levels are higher in the summer.
Keep it above 50 ng’s! NIH bought into NAM assessment that 30 ng’s to 90 ng’s is the range!
Not correct! Helps support big Pharma goals not the patient!
My primary care doc advised me to cut back on the D3 supplements. He said levels above 50 ng/mL would cause a build up of calcium in heart muscles for a person at my age (low 70s).
I take K2 with Vit D for that very reason
Maybe -- that is precisely the type of risk I was speaking about in my comment elsewhere about taking extra supplements. If you have the resources and the inclination, consult "the literature."

More likely over medicated on BP and:or statin drug impact! My opinion!
I’m not on any of those, but maybe my doc is and it is affecting his cognitive abilities.
Please see the research articles cited and discussed at: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/.

Creatinine is very different. My guess is that they have the same root.
"The English word 'create' comes from the Latin word 'cretus', which means 'to make, bring forth, produce, bege'."
