I like them for being nice, but I generally don't have much hope for that family, so I am not actually surprised by their inability to do something to improve health. It is easier to do nothing, especially for the people who are not healthy.

Even my former mother-in-law (with RA) didn't support her grandson's (psoriasis, asthma, pet allergies) attempts to follow the diet I recommended (not a LCarbing, rather something what my son eats - no gluten, no hot spices, citruses, tomato based souses).

I just re-certified to taday in Family Medicine...one of my two board certs...anyway..I may have missed a few questions due to my approach to taking care of a patient. I work in wound care and that means folks that don't heal naturally because of , usually, metabolic disease. Sadly I have 30-40 year olds in worse shape than some of the 70-90 year olds....sigh. When I give them my lowcarb paleo-ish diet (just two pages long) most tell me they cannot do it. But, they can stick their finger and shoot insulin. I just don't get it. When I was told 30 years ago that I couldn't have gluten, I said okay what can I have? Over the years I have tweeted it a lot to become what my WOE is today. I am healthy, slim and happy. I enjoy food and good company. I don't miss fill in the blank so-called comfort foods.Larcanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109743909244156390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-64368044891338182242015-04-15T15:39:21.258-05:002015-04-15T15:39:21.258-05:00thanks, Jan! yes, even small pleasant changes IF ...thanks, Jan! yes, even small pleasant changes IF THEY'RE THE RIGHT ONES can make a big difference!tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-22979219330852739442015-04-15T15:38:00.313-05:002015-04-15T15:38:00.313-05:00I've never heard it -- perhaps I should! than...I've never heard it -- perhaps I should! thanks for the idea!tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-23289822755431455192015-04-15T15:36:54.328-05:002015-04-15T15:36:54.328-05:00yes, there are plenty of "luxurious" and...yes, there are plenty of "luxurious" and "sinful" foods that can be innocently enjoyed on LCHF! :-) it's what adds that extra something to what is a very health-promoting WOE!<br /><br />...and you're so right -- the miserable LINGERING is what is scary about chronic disease!tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-13702125774528373302015-04-15T15:33:41.012-05:002015-04-15T15:33:41.012-05:00Tess, this is a fantastic post with so many valid ...Tess, this is a fantastic post with so many valid points.<br /><br />I was so sorry to hear about 'Horfs' relation...... and yes 70 is a good age - but diabetes is affecting so many more younger people. I am convinced lifestyle, or a change in lifestyle, can help so many people. There are those who do feel cheated if they leave the Doctors surgery without a prescription - whilst for a lot of people a change in foods, exercise etc can be so beneficial.<br /><br />Indeed RIP Horfs cousin.<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-48084939834632008282015-04-15T13:26:02.362-05:002015-04-15T13:26:02.362-05:00Ever wonder how your doctor chooses which medicati...Ever wonder how your doctor chooses which medication to prescribe?

However, living till 70 is not too bad for a very unhealthy person. Nowadays a much worse fate is possible - to be hooked to machines for years and suffer. My aunt (not a blood relative) who ate mostly sweets all her life, was obese and diabetic with a blood pressure 250/100 suddenly died at 69 couple years ago. She even didn't take medications and believed it was wrong to avoid things she liked to prolong her life. I think she was lucky not to suffer.<br />What I appreciate a lot about LCarbing is the fact that it doesn't require from the followers to avoid all tasty foods, just impulses control and some immunity to a social pressure are enough.<br />Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-63953754524631059342015-04-15T11:58:14.885-05:002015-04-15T11:58:14.885-05:00thank YOU, H -- i'm glad to hear you like it! ...thank YOU, H -- i'm glad to hear you like it! i do so hope that young man is able to learn and profit from JF's knowledge -- his videos impressed me!tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-90706696086936916582015-04-15T11:31:22.528-05:002015-04-15T11:31:22.528-05:00Tess, thanks for this great post.

I talked to my cousin's son last night and found out that he watched the video to Dr. Fung's "the two big lies of Type 2 Diabetes" (I sent him a link on FB) and has contacted Dr. Fung's office. He has all sorts of health issues for a man in his 30's, is diabetic, overweight and suffering. He also has 3 beautiful children who need their father to be healthy. Hopefully he will use Dr. Fung's resources and nurse himself back to health.horfilmaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02985242055432277616noreply@blogger.com
