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

Product Information

SECOND - BIGGEST RED FLAG - Dr. Berry says, and I quote “to keep the size of this book under control, I have omitted footnotes and lists of works cited….You can use Bing.com..or google.com to search any health topic” I have NEVER read a book which includes medical recommendations that did not include notations for research! That was just crazy and you can bet i followed up and did my research to verify any medical claims... I have just finished this book after watching some of Dr Berry's youtube videos. I have found that I really enjoy his videos. I love that he is not a regular doctor that just wants to prescribe drugs and make crap loads of money off it. Instead, he tries to tell you you don't have to spend a ton of money on drugs, processed food (crap) and to not blindly listen. I can anecdotally concur that Scarsdale, Atkins and Keto are the only diets where I can really lose weight. I'm currently on Keto and do not feel hungry, nor do I have the post lunch energy crash that used to be so familiar. It's a boring diet after awhile. I do like sugar and desserts--though I'm learning how to make Keto substitutes. Anecdotally I feel better on Keto. I don't have gut trouble. I don't have constipation and headaches. And I've curtailed the "put on 10 pounds every year" that I've been on and am now losing weight. It started as fast weight loss and is now settling in at 1-2 pounds a month. Anecdotally I have to listen to my body. I don't know if science agrees, but for me, this is a healthier diet. Yes, I agree there were a couple spelling or grammer errors in his book, but it does not harm the message in the least. I don't know of a single book I have read where there wasn't at least a couple errors, so for the people that gave less stars for that, I gave FULL stars for the message. I don't think a couple the the's deserved a star loss because the information in this book is very eye opening.

Author claims that milk is not good for us because we are the only animals who consume another animal's milk. While I don’t have a study to repudiate the claim that Grains are more fattening- I will use simple logic on Dr. Berry’s argument which is “If meat was more fattening than grains, farmers would use it to fatten up their cows instead of corn.” This one is just silly... Berry’s Advice: Don’t go out of your way to eat extra fiber. Humans have mostly eaten fatty meat for thousands of years and seldom do we need to consume extra fiber to stay regular. The findings - Among US adults, higher consumption of dietary cholesterol or eggs was significantly associated with higher risk of incident CVD and all-cause mortality in a dose-response manner- aka the more cholesterol you eat, the more likely you will have Cardiovascular disease and die. my link text But everything we breath in, eat, drink, live in, is toxic these days - so it's no surprise that everyone, even youngsters, are ill with serious diseases. And small health problems soon become much worse once Big Pharma gets you in its grip, as I know to my cost.Now my thyroid treatment is almost sorted it's time to deal with my osteoporosis. I'll be doing that myself and is one of the reasons I bought this book. What I liked most about his book is that each chapter goes through a myth and then he refers you to read other books that go into depth about the myths that we have been taught.

I then found out that, contrary to Big Pharma-related medical practises, it was better for my Crohn's to improve my immune system rather than suppress it. This was a huge turning point. I can't express just how huge. Dr. Berry's information is MOST DEFINITELY important! I am relatively new to the Ketogenic lifestyle. My progression through diet awareness followed a similar path to Dr. Berry's--first Paleo/Primal which I discovered about 6 years ago, then to low-carb Paleo/Primal (following Dr. William Davis's 'Wheat Belly' plan) which had me drop 35 lbs and got me off my diabetes and heart meds. Then I was inspired by another practicing physician, Dr. Annette Bosworth, to stop flirting with Keto and have a committed relationship with it. This was about 2 months ago and I've never felt better! The author has made every effort to ensure that the accuracy of the information within this book was correct I tend to agree with him. Unfortunately, I think the initial concerns regarding salt intake was more directed toward those who already had high blood pressure. At some point, the recommendation got taken out of context and ultimately bastardized. Impact of Dairy Products on Biomarkers of Inflammation Show Negative Correlation: The findings- consumption of dairy products is inversely associated with low-grade systemic inflammation – read: Not only does milk not cause inflammation, but dairy products have been shown to reduce inflammation! (This one even surprised me!). https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article...The reason this is such a long-winded review is to make people understand, through my personal experience - both distant past and present - just how poor GP and so-called specialist's knowledge is about all disease. They are trained by Big Pharma-sponsored universities and medical facilities. That's all they know and they seem perfectly happy in their ignorance, despite the lives they are ruining. They don't do it on purpose; my endo said she was taking SERMs, herself. They will also take the poisoned pills for their own illnesses. It's just ignorance coupled with overconfidence in themselves and the 'system'.
