The native americans called that rabbit sickness, from eating too much lean meat when times were rough. That is not a ketogenic diet, as ketogenic diets are low carb, moderate protein, and high fat. Keto has been used since the 1920s to treat severe epilepsy in children and adults without anyone dying from the diet.
I have been researching and experimenting with my own diet for about 15 years now. I have gone over two years eating less than 40 grams of carbs a day, never was I in any danger of dying. I don't need to read the article to know that something I have lived thru is true. The statement regarding bodybuilding is also an obvious lie to anyone who has friends who does bodybuilding as an amateur or a professional or follows people in those circles. If the medical medium is going to claim that someones diet is going to kill them, he should at least make sure to get their diet correct.
I am very careful about making absolute statements. When I do I am 100% confident in those assertions.
What is funny is that when I started low carb and keto dieting, after trying vegetarianism, everyone said I would die from no carbs, that it was quack science, and that it was obviously a scam made to sell books and videos. Now you are calling it mainstream science. I don't know how old you are or if you are old enough to remember when anyone who did low carb was a crackpot. The science took a long time to catch up with the experimenters who did the diet because it works for what it claims to do.
I agree with you completely on chronic disease and modern medicine. The current system is corrupt and makes people sick. However I also do not throw the baby out with the bath water. There is a lot of good research being done on diet which is almost completely ignored by the government, FDA, dieticians, nutritionists, and mainstream doctors.
My own research into health and diet has led me to a different conclusion than medical medium. I believe that meat is necessary for optimum health. When it comes to this subject, I prefer my own discernment over someone else's, I don't care if they are a medium, doctor, dietician, or nutritionist, or even a higher density being.
if you read the article you would see where you're misinformed. "The entire premise of the keto diet is incorrect to begin with. The diet involves restricting carbohydrate intake while focusing on high protein and fat intake. The theory is that this way of eating causes your body to go into a metabolic state called ketosis, where you efficiently burn fat as an energy source for your body and brain.
The reality is, it’s not possible for your body to go into ketosis if you’re eating any amount or form of sugar whatsoever, including the natural sugars found in most foods. That means anyone eating even a tiny bit of nuts, seeds, avocado, cheese, butter, tomato, or green juices is taking in natural sugar [he's also mentioned how meat contains natural sugar in the form of blood sugar]. Unless someone is eating only bacon three times a day (in which case they’d feel terrible and cause even more damage for themselves down the road), they’re not entering ketosis." https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/truth...genic-diet
true keto kills. the keto diet we have today is not true keto as it contains a certain amount of sugar, such as in the foods listed above. the article talks about why some people experience temporary health benefits from following the modern keto diet (because they cut out processed food).
the reason i mentioned bodybuilders is because i happened to just recently see news of a famous bodybuilder dying of a heart attack (https://www.the-sun.com/sport/3446217/he...on-sports/). medical medium teaches about what leads to heart attacks (which is high fat intake, and eating high amounts of animal protein (i.e. to build muscle) means you're also intaking high amounts of fat. conventional understanding can be wrong about basic fundamentals like this.)
you say you're 100% confident, and i understand that you have plenty of reasons for believing what you do, and i don't think you're trying to be misleading at all, but you're being presented with an alternative viewpoint, with sources and articles linked, yet claiming that it's false without reading it. that's just bad faith and fallacious.
i'm not trying to convince you of anything btw. i only felt motivated to respond because you directly attacked what i shared and called it an outright lie. this can turn off others from this information since this is a public forum, and when i have experienced and seen this information bringing deep healing to people, that bothers me. this is why i respond.
i agree that there's good research and info out there, but there's also a lot of bad. also, i've mentioned it in previous discussions, but medical medium is not against eating meat.
edit: i said i'm only responding because it bothers me how you invalidate what i share without giving it an honest look, but instead of just addressing that, i addressed more points so if i'm being honest with myself i'm responding for more reasons than that.
