They (doctors) lie to themselves that they are working with Big Pharma to find a cure (for T2 Diabetes). Now, they can believe themselves to be the noble healer facing this deadly onslaught. In truth, they were traitors and turncloaks. They betrayed their patients trust and broke the oath of Hippocrates to first do no harm.
Was it written by some kind of health nut? Conspiracy believer? An alternative practitioner who hates doctors because they get all the government funding? Someone selling the latest and greatest health product? Someone caught up in the emotion of it all with no regard to the science?
No, no, no, no and NO!
It’s one of my favourite LCHF doctor’s, Dr Jason Fung, a nephrologist (kidney specialist) from Canada.
Here’s the full quote. He is talking about the advice and education from the medical profession in general to patients with T2 Diabetes.
“This is typical of the medical establishment. Doctors, dieticians, diabetic educators and generally everybody interested knows that Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is a dietary disease. If you can lose the weight, then the T2D wil go away. Everybody agrees with that. So, it is clear that T2D is a fully reversible disease. But a dietary disease requires a dietary solution.
This is where the breakdown occurs. Doctors treat this dietary disease with lots of drugs, and then watch as the patient continues to worsen. This is driven by the big pharmaceuticals and big food companies who sponsor lots of research into drugs and really don’t want people to get better. They give prominent doctors lots of money to speak to other doctors. They send them on fancy trips all over the world. Unfortunately, they have corrupted the academic doctors who write national guidelines. This leads doctors to tell The Biggest Lie. The lie is that T2D is chronic and progressive. You’ve got it, get used to it!
But this is not simply a lie they tell you. This is a lie they tell themselves. Doctors watch patients get worse year after year on medications. Taking more and more drugs to keep sugars down. So, either they admit that they are giving the complete wrong treatment (drugs for a dietary disease), or they lie to themselves that the disease is itself progressive. Psychologically, they cannot admit to themselves that they are not only bad doctors, but allowed Big Pharma to buy them off. They are shills for the drug giants, and not the healers they thought themselves.
No, they cannot do that. The psychological damage is too great. Instead, they institutionalize the lie that T2D is progressive and they are doing the best they can. They lie to themselves that they are working with Big Pharma to find a cure. Now, they can believe themselves to be the noble healer facing this deadly onslaught. In truth, they were traitors and turncloaks. They betrayed their patients trust and broke the oath of Hippocrates to first do no harm.
This is all despite the all the evidence in front of their very noses that T2D is fully reversible. Lose the weight, lose the diabetes. Denial is powerful and pervasive, not simply a river in Egypt. If there is only one thing you need to remember, it is this. Type 2 Diabetes is a fully reversible disease. Don’t believe this ghastly lie. That is the first step to reclaiming your health.”

That kind of stuff makes me want to weep at the sheer magnitude of it. We’ve seen our health decline since 1980 and the introduction of the Evolving Food Pyramid’s because of this.
Can I suggest that if you’ve got T2 Diabetes and your doctor, dietician or diabetes educator starts telling you one of their favourite lies (yes, there are more), how about asking them if they’ve heard of Dr Jason Fung a kidney specialist from Canada? Ask them if they are open to looking at his website or Youtube videos?
The public in this way can do a better job of educating doctors than Big Pharma can. It’s our responsibility to do that. After all the public is the ‘one’ that suffers the consequences of those lies.
Unfortunately we give an extra-ordinary amount of weight (pun intended) to the opinions of our doctors and ‘health’ professionals. Which is why I’m always delighted to hear & see doctors shift from the dark side and start speaking out about what truly creates health.
Thank God, Goddess, All That Is for them: )

And if you know someone with T2 Diabetes please pass this on. That’s the way we can become each others saviour.
