Lies My Doctor Told Me: Medical Myths That Can Harm Your Health

Product Information

Berry's work that make sense (though not necessarily because of any big pharma conspiracy theories or stubborn medical professionals). Berry isn't so gentle with his colleagues who are still spouting this old, erroneous information about diet, drugs and conventional "wisdom" for treating a whole host of chronic diseases. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. He also encourages people to work respectfully, and develop a partnership, with their health care providers, but admits that some doctors simply won't welcome change.

The author is a doctor who woke up one day to take action to provide better remedy to his patients instead of blindly following the bidding of capitalist, profit-making interests of the big pharmaceutical industries and government food and drug regulatory bodies. I have no idea how many medics have read this book, or maybe it just flies under the radar, but it provides a very interesting peek into the medical industry. What about the correlation of skin cancer and Australians--surely the Australians don't eat the unhealthiest diet in the world but they DO have high incidents of skin cancer. Her story is largely a personal one, focusing on her mother's cancer journey and how following a Keto diet helped her to get through that.As a fair skinned redhead, you're never going to convince me that I should get out in the sun and start roasting myself when ten minutes in my skin starts to burn. In his book Dr Berry discusses a range of mainly diet related issues but has little evidence to back up his claims. This author loves pre-warning me of what this book entails and that I should befriend my doctor, but not really telling me any useful information. Like so much of the science, the guidelines were bent and molded (sometimes aggressively so into something unrecognizable) to suit the needs of all the someones trying to sell us their somethings.

I'll admit, I find this idea intriguing, partly because I've always had a hard time believing a little sun was detrimental. This is a fantastic book that teaches how the medical paradigm refuses to change their position on health information that is completely backwards, and unhealthy, despite the newest studies and data proving what they are teaching is wrong. There are some 'lies' that I discovered a while ago (great to hear another take) but so much of the book is new to me.When most of the studies are performed by big Pharma, isnt it obvious there will be bias and statistical misrepresentation ?

It's a food that provides certain nutrients that might be good and might be bad depending on the context of the diet and the person's health. At least there should have been some disclosure somewhere that this was his personal belief especially as much of what he advocates in his book follows these dietary guidelines. At the high level, I agree with the overall message the author is looking to convey here, namely that just because someone is a credentialed MD, doesn't mean that they necessarily are the be all and end all authority of all things, and that at the end of the day, since you're the one that has to live in your body, ultimately the buck stops with you when it comes to being responsible for your health, and being willing to challenge thinking that may be out of date. I've changed my salt to pink sea salt already, added something to be screened at an upcoming blood test, and *sniff* cutting back on milk--or rather, using cream or half and half instead though I want milk (I like milk .When listening to the book in one sitting (it's not very long), the repetitiveness is noticeable and annoying. Ken Berry is here to dispel the myths and misinformation that have been perpetuated by the medical and food industries for decades. I personally think the tendency towards laziness would be exacerbated by a complete lack of medical standards. And it's probable, even likely, that a lion who kills a lactating gazelle consumes (and enjoys) her milk as part of the meal.

Is it just me or does the narrator or at least their voice randomly change on many occasions totally ruining the flow of the book? I can anecdotally concur that Scarsdale, Atkins and Keto are the only diets where I can really lose weight. Add to this the fact that I'm known as the spelling and grammar mistress by almost everyone who knows me.Unfortunately, I think the initial concerns regarding salt intake was more directed toward those who already had high blood pressure. This book will help you sort through the medical myths and the outright lies, and begin to develop a health partnership with your doctor. Author claims that milk is not good for us because we are the only animals who consume another animal's milk. There are so many doctors, nurses, nutritionists etc in these reviews panning this book's content in ways that clearly contradict the actual, real world, lived experiences of people who eat contrary to popular advice with immense success. This was a super one-sided presentation of the argument that made it sound like these standards are completely useless, which is ironic in a book accusing others of lying.
