I'm 82, in robust med-free health, with scan-confirmed clean arteries, In the Health Industry since 1963. (Owned and operated a chain of Fit Clubs.. also in the Far East for 40 years). I don't know if I'll go down well/at all disagreeing with the mainstream ideas promulgated here. I came to this site via a link in a Health Letter and found the D A advice, unacceptable.

Dabetes2 has been reversed in one week, mostly within 2 weeks with a ZERO grain, ZERO Sugar/HFCS diet.

The Mainstream's calories, cholesterol, food groups and RDAs are outdated, inaccurate and will not be amended.. as that disinfo fuels the Sickness Industry, which in the US alone an obscene 3.5T$ a year.. feeding on the sickly, weak and overweight.. mainly from false advice. Grains good say the food groups.. NO THEY'RE VERY BAD.

All grains are high in lectin plant phenols, chemicals that desensitize cell membranes to insulin, causing insulin over production. Grains are also high in leptin plant hormones that interrupt signaling between the liver and pancreas, causing insulin disruptions. These 2 cause obesity and diabetes2.

Wheat and most other grains raise blood sugar. A slice of organic whole wheat bread raises blood sugar more than a candy bar.

Grains are high in carbs that fatten. Digested carbs 1st top-up muscle and liver glycogen, stored sugar. The rest is rapidly converted to body fat in the cells' mitochondria via the Krebs cycle. Digested fat only slowly converts to usable energy molecules in the liver. (Human Physiology, Vander, Sherman, Luciano)

Grains raise artery-calcifying tri-glycerides, are high in phytates that block calcium and iron absorption. White flour has residual chlorine from bleaching that depletes immune-boosting body-stores of selenium.


Grain's Celiac disease, leaky gut, has over 300 symptoms, so you won't know you have it! Some of the symptoms are abdominal pain, nausea, constipation, and diarrhea every time you eat bread, rice, or pastries. Then you would have wheat or gluten intolerance, as do 60-70% of the population.

Diabetics advised against eating saturated animal fats but that speeds artery calcification! Arteries calcify from.. (not from dietary nor elevated total blood cholesterol). Triglycerides already mentioned above.

1. High blood homocysteine. This needs to be lowered with B vitamins B12, B6 and folates. Surprise. Butter and cream synthesize all the B vitamins in the gut with the help of the 'friendly bacteria'. In along term, large scale study.. two groups were geographically separated by their work. They were of the same genetic origin, the same age group and the same activity level. Those that ended up in the North cooked all their food in butter and ate plenty of animal fat. They smoked more than the Southern group. The Southern group had a pure vegetarian diet. YET… The Southerners had 15X (fifteen times) the heart disease incidence of the northerners. Note butter contains vitamin K2.. that directs calcium to hard tissues, bones, and away from soft tissues, arteries! (Malhotra SL, Dr. 1974- Published 11X in The Lancet).

Butter is high in... Vitamins A and D, essential to the proper absorption of calcium, necessary for strong bones and teeth; the protective omega fatty acids are in perfect proportion; health giving: arichidonic acid, short and medium chain fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid; iodine, selenium, manganese, zinc, chromium, and lecithin.. in a form easily utilized by the body. Idiotic advice is to klower/cut out butter, cream and full fat milk products. I cook wit butter and eat globs of it.

2. Artery inflammation is caused by insufficient anti-oxidants in the diet. This inflammation, shown by a high LDL 'marker' reading, leads to calcification,. Surprise. 2 egg yolks daily have sufficient anti-oxidants, selenium, l-cysteine amino acid and vitamins to stop inflammation in arteries, and thus prevent calcification from this cause. Eggs are high in vitamin K2. Eggs are high in the phosphotidyls.. serine and choline both essential for the nervous system and the development of young brains and maintenance of older ones! 2 or more egg yolks at breakfast stabilize blood sugars through the day, preventing the after lunch and dinner 'lows'. Idiotic advice is for 2 yolks a week. I eat up to 10 a day, with at least 2 raw yolks, shells well washed, whites cooked.

Grass fed animal fat is high in artery protective OM3, LCFAs and CLA.

Let's hope the Mods don't delete my controversial Hello piece.
 
Oh, and salt. The kidneys control sodium balance within 2% whether one ingests 50mg or 25gms. Commercial salt used in restaurants, packaged foods, and available on the shelves.. has been heated to 1200C. Although the chemical is still sodium chloride, there's been some changes in it's structure.. so it's not recognized by the body. In the sensitive, blood pressure rises rapidly. Search Himalaya, evaporated sea or natural mined salt.. And high blood pressure does not cause artery calcification, the 3 main causes are listed in my first piece. Reducing salt intake is dangerous for health as the body will remove salt from the bones and other organs to maintain a specific blood level.
 
Hi and welcome.

Thank you for all that interesting information

I think you will find that there are quite a few of us on this forum who also believe that a HFLC diet is the answer to our diabetic problems and that RDA guidelines are based on poor or outdated science. I did find it quite scary initially to go against the established advice of low fat, low salt, low sugar, wholegrain carbs but my BG did not drop until I cut the grains and sugar out of my diet altogether. I had 6 weeks of a diet that felt like eating cardboard before I introduced fat back into my daily food and what an absolute pleasure it now is. That means that I am much more likely to stick to it for life and reduce the amount of insulin I need (I am type 1) to a very minimal amount. My Dad ate butter inches thick on his bread and fatty bacon and eggs fried in dripping and untrimmed lamb chops all his life and had a heart as strong as an ox at 84, when sadly his lungs let him down.
From the small amount of research I have done on line since diagnosis I am reasonably convinced that the modern low fat advice of the past 70 years is likely responsible for the modern diabetes epidemic we are seeing today. I now eat butter and cheese and fatty meat on a daily basis and only moderate it to keep my weight stable on a very low carb diet, but don't worry about the actual amounts I eat in excess of the recommended daily allowance. I am loath to advocate the same for others though as they must make their own mind up about what is and isn't safe for them.

Yep, completely agree, I followed lchf diet, reduced my bg back to normal range, lost 4 stone & never felt better. I also have heart disease & angina, haven’t had any angina pain in over 6 months & my heart is stable for the first time in 5 years :D
 
Heart 'disease' is not a disease but a deficiency condition, as I outlined above. The amino acid EDTA cleans arteries, but Docs make the excuse that removing calcium from the arteries may expose a weakness in the artery wall that the calcium deposit was 'safe-keeping' and the artery may rupture when it's removed. Without an EDTA clean-up, you risk the broken off bit of calcium that'll block the artery and kill. It's illegal to import oral EDTA into UK, available on line in US. Docs are reluctant to give the drip EDTA as that's only 'scheduled' for lead poisoning. (In Thailand, where I also live, some mainstream docs give the EDTA drip. I took a friend who had angina to one of these Docs, and he got EDTA 'drip-cleaned'). Orally, 2 X 500mg EDTA caps a day clean 30kms of the arteries in 6 months. A friend coming from US? Interestingly about 30 years ago a study in China showed that by supplementing with 2mgs of folic acid daily, 3X the idiotic RDA, carotid arteries blood flow improved as tested with ultra sound.

Hmm I have a faulty LMNA gene that caused dilated cardiomyopathy, so only part the angina part of my issues could be improved from the diet changes, but sadly they won’t change my genetic make up :(

Mods are happy to let the thread run for now, but ask that everyone remembers the forum rule about being respectful of others views. Posts will be edited or deleted if necessary.

@Thomas Turk may I ask what your qualifications and experience are?

To add my piece, many would disagree that it is possible to reverse type 2 in two weeks. Many would also say that to use the word ‘reverse’ is misleading and prefer the word ‘remission’, as type 2 will return if the individual reverts back to the lifestyle they led prior to the initial diagnosis.
 
I feel that the OP's style is perhaps a little too confrontational but that the content is interesting and worthy of discussion and look forward to a lively but hopefully polite and considerate debate.
I would be disappointed if it was deleted or blocked.
