I was trained like the average internist to prescribe pills. Now I take pills away, and heartburn pills are some of the first pills I take away when people go on a low-carb high-fat diet. Even cancer is responding in animal models to lowering the carbohydrate in the diet.
Steve Phinney on Pemmican and Indigenous Diets

Not just my bike racers were on low carb diets, but the roughly 3,000 patients that I used a low carbohydrate diets on during the 20 plus years of clinical practice consistently told me they had less colon problems, less concerns about constipation or diarrhea, when they were on a low carb diet, containing very little fiber, compared to a fiber rich, “optimum balanced” diet.

All this means a Type 1 diabetic loses the ability to produce life-giving insulin. A Type 1 diabetic must…

That’s over 4 years since I first failed a glucose tolerance test and was told my pancreas would be very, very, very, very unlikely to ever recover more function, and instead would be more likely to fail, since it was already stressed.
