Worrying Attempt To Silence Doctor Who Advocates Lchf

[Oldvatr]

This shows that the official health system is being threatened by LCHF and similar diets.

He is being gagged not for the advuce he gives, but apparently for the very act of passing comment on using diet to control a chronic condition.

This is not the first, since it has happened in South Africa already, and I suspect he will not be the last.

I understand from the article he had been 'cautioned' over dietry advice in relation to Cancer? which if there are significant clinical concerns I do kinda understand - though not saying I agree wholeheartedly.
The article does clearly state 'important to note' that he had NOT been cautioned about LCHF in relation to Diabetes treatment??
There are many who do see this as controversial - with advocates on both sides, so isn't this always going to be contentious?

Similar to the position being followed by Diet Doctor among others.
