Far too many people out there with difficult-to-treat conditions are dismissed as hypochondriacs, or are just told "it's all in your head." I don't have any experience at all (either personally or as a practitioner) with Lyme, but I was on the Lyme Ninja Radio podcast a couple months ago, talking about low-carb diets and Alzheimer's disease. (http://lymeninja.com/amy-berger/) So many people in the low-carb community are well familiar with the kinds of incompetent medical professionals you wrote about. So ignorant and uninformed, it's very scary. <br /><br />Your post was excellent!Tuit Nutritionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708859914305178756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-78868533374609164352016-04-02T13:07:35.962-04:002016-04-02T13:07:35.962-04:00I'm a homeschool mama of 5, though mine are 6 ...I'm a homeschool mama of 5, though mine are 6 months to 9 years.

Thank you so much for your endorsement and sharing. I really appreciate the traffic this is sending to my site. I rant every day about the abuse of, and disdain for, people with often "invisible" chronic illness. This issue goes far beyond the MDs who refuse to open their eyes. There needs to be a systemic shift in thinking from "every illness can be accounted for by the presence of antibodies" to "the spectrum of illness spans from sub-immune (lack of antibodies) to autoimmune (too many antibodies)." What my close activist colleagues and I are finding is that the "system" at the very top levels likely knows this, but won't admit it for two reasons. 1) The cost to treat millions who suffer with immune deficiency (Lyme, ME/CFS, GWI, fibromyalgia, post-sepsis syndrome) would be astronomical. 2) To reveal the mechanism of these immune deficiency diseases would betray the source of the autism pandemic. I get into the science in many of my other posts. Sometimes it all seems so futile...so support like yours really helps to restore my faith.

Remember the medical system and drugs/pharma/food industries are doing very well out of this situation so its not a crisis as far as they are concerned, in fact the opposite.<br /><br />To get philosophical for a moment, have you read William Ophuls book "Immoderate Greatness", it's about the factors that drive civilization decline. He identifies the key drivers and we in the west are fulfilling his criteria to the letter, ie we are in rapid decline and the future doesn't look particularly good, at least from where I stand. <br /><br />To get back on track one of the features of decline is the polarization of the segments of society, particularly the abandonment by the elites of the basic social contracts that hold any society in place. This is evident in many areas, witness the absolutely obscene transfer of wealth that has and is taking place particularly between the lower classes and the top 1% or so over the last few decaeds. This process is accelerating, mostly through the rent seeking of the financial sector who are now in control. Part of this is a predatory attitude towards the rest of society and what is happening in the medical/diet arenas is a small part of the total. What the answer is I don't know but I think there is trouble ahead.<br /><br />Got your book, its good, ploughing (if that's the right word) through it.<br /><br />Cheers.<br /><br />Tim.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566361944570795169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-16229807403543084922016-04-01T15:27:52.127-04:002016-04-01T15:27:52.127-04:00EGAD! for the momma!....great post, as you know I&...EGAD! for the momma!....great post, as you know I'm an MD. I do not take offense at the rant...I've been through a rough time myself as a patient 36 years ago. That was what drove me into medicine. I had to get the credentials so i could help people. Now, I speak locally on educating yourself on better nutrition with low carb diets. I myself eat ZC and I function much better that way. Not everyone can do that so I try to work with them. It's a painful process to get them out of conventional thinking. But, i can steer them your way for great information written at the public level. ;)Larcanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109743909244156390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-45526431981122144932016-04-01T14:36:49.915-04:002016-04-01T14:36:49.915-04:00Jimmy Moore has a great podcast of a talk given by...Jimmy Moore has a great podcast of a talk given by Dr. Ron Rosedale. He describes the "Spanish Paradox" (wryly pointing out that only medicine has "paradoxes"--other sciences realize a "paradox" means the theory is wrong and then they change the theory!) which is that Hispanic patients have high rates of obesity and diabetes, but tend to live, on average, 2 years longer than their Caucasian counterparts. He attributes this to the fact that a large segment of the Hispanic population in this country has either limited or no access to primary healthcare. <br /><br />BTW, I'm finally able to download the Kindle book and reading it now :o)JanKnitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06178703790352191912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-70907536046754961712016-04-01T12:41:56.712-04:002016-04-01T12:41:56.712-04:00The last time I went to my doctor (the one approve...The last time I went to my doctor (the one approved by my insurance) was June 2014. I'd been doing all the right things, making all the right choices but my fat loss results were pitiful. I was feeling decent, but not *good*. At that time, I was exercising (usually HIIT) 6 days a week. I had to talk myself into it, but I did it - every day. No endorphin rush for me, though, exercise only made me super sleepy. <br />I told her I really felt like (as I still do!) *something* is off in my body, and if I could just get that thing (or thingS) in balance, I felt like my brain fog would disappear, I would *feel* better (physically, mentally, and emotionally) and my body would let go of the excess weight. I wanted her to run a slew of tests to determine where I was out of balance. (I should add here that the only reason I went to her, as I have been unsuccessful with MDs for non-emergencies in the past, was because she had a reputation for digging until she found the problem).<br />She offered me a prescription for Cymbalta. I told her I was quite certain I was not depressed. I'd been depressed, and this was not it!! She said it would "help me make better choices". We'd just talked for 15 minutes and she had told me I was doing all the right things!! I told her I was making the right choices just fine (although it was admittedly difficult to continue, day after day, to eat right and work out when my results weren't anywhere near in line with my efforts). <br />She told me she had another homeschool mom with lots of kids (I have 8, only 5 still at home though. and I do homeschool....) and she finally talked her into taking Cymbalta and all her troubles were over. (Let's not even get in to that one...) <br />I repeated that I did not feel like I was depressed, and she said, "I agree, you aren't. But this will still help you. Try it for a month." I told her I would consider it, but I really didn't think my problem was not enough anti-depressants. <br />She told me - and this is a word for word quote. I know my brain is fuzzy, but I was so shocked by it, it is seared into my memory - "Don't bother coming back to me until you are ready for me to talk you into taking Cymbalta." <br />sigh. the mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06442659609532682275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-53648849765282540702016-04-01T11:30:40.949-04:002016-04-01T11:30:40.949-04:00I will always be grateful to the nurse practitione...I will always be grateful to the nurse practitioner who encouraged my father to try an autoimmune diet (very paleo) for his RA. He will be coming off his last medication soon. He was able to discontinue his medication for acid reflux within two weeks of starting. And I greatly admire my father for being willing to change his diet. Too many people I know just want a pill or an injection to cure what ails them. (Dad's va doctor dismissed the autoimmune diet idea, of course, even after he was able to stop using medication)Rural Catholic Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00042421637636646604noreply@blogger.com
