Just read this LOL
Am I missing something here? Brainwashing? What the heck do we have to gain from promoting a regime that works? A shared feeling of success? A feeling that some good has been done? Oooh how sinister?! LMAO This would be laughable if it wasn't for the fact that people are going to end up suffering by listening to this nonsense.
A Hb1Ac of 5.3 with no meds whatsoever. Reversal of fatty liver disease. Reversal of sleep apnea. Increased HDL, lower LDL, decimated trigs. Normal blood pressure. Increased energy and elevated mood. I think that says everything.
I think the brainwashing comes from those who want to feel better about their own predicament. I don't need to tell people 'there, there it'll be alright' to make myself feel better about all my meds and increasing complications. I am not pumping myself full of insulin as a type 2. I am not afraid to test an hour after meals because the numbers scare me. So who is exactly doing the brainwashing here?
I am merely telling people what has worked for me, if people don't want to listen then fine. I'm sorry but 'success' as a type 2 isn't being put straight on insulin. When (if) that happens to me I will know I've done everything I possibly can to prevent it.
For the life of me I can't see the problem with telling people about what has worked for them. We're the supposed extreme ones for wanting to do it naturally and not wanting to rely on medical intervention as the first point of call. In what sensible world could that be described as extreme?
The choice is simple for type 2s - reduce carbs or increase your medication. There it is folks. No conspiracy. No brainwashing.
Let the individual choose without us having to resort to language such as 'brainwashing'. It's pathetic, if people want to be complacent in their own predicament then fine, but they should at least allow the others the opportunity to take more care of their health and receive all the information available.
