    When I started learning about nutrition, I stopped trusting dieticians, when I was planning my pregnancy, I stopped trusting obgyns, when I had my son, I stopped trusting pediatricians. I'm beginning to believe the entire medical system needs to be started over from scratch.
  • @PardieDiem
    One correction. The goverment doesn't pay for anything! It's the American taxpayer that pays for all goverment programs. Give credit where it's due.
  • @CB-ul2np
    I was an RN that ran a clinic for one of the major companies. The corruption and fraud was staggering. I quit. I wanted no part of it.
  • @krakoosh1
    I’ve noticed pharma commercials now don’t even tell you what the medication does. They just show people enjoying their life laughing and dancing and singing, then tell you to just ask your doctor about using the drug. This should be illegal
  • @lisakaye9340
    I’m an administrator at a mid sized hospital and Nephrology is one of my divisions. Thank you for providing this information. Our biggest obstacle to moving patients to home dialysis- are the patients themselves. They want the brick & mortar dialysis. I’m going to review our education process and materials. We also partner with nutrition- but I do not know what is being taught. I’m going to find out. ❤
  • @ddunning6207
    People are given drugs that screw up the kidneys, then go to dialysis while remaining on the drugs that caused them to be there. 🥺🤬
  • @laurenglass4514
    I had a friend that got untreatable kidney disease and he went to 3 top drs in Texas He refused to take their answer and went to a nephrologist at Johns Hopkins He told him there was no study but he could change his diet and get some exercise and the goal was to keep dialysis off as long as he could He did exactly what the dr said he was in his early 30’s now this is 30 years later and his kidney function has never declined He asked for his complete documentation and he can’t get it because they said it was part of a study He was confused about Johns Hopkins refusal He’s living proof that it can work
  • @GoneCarnivore
    I'm 48, the Doctors have been telling me for the last 10 years that I have the kidneys of a 65 year old man, whatever that means. Carnivore diet reversed my kidneys issues significantly.
  • @ShaktiFlowww
    I work in healthcare for specialists and I’d say about 85% of our patients have preventable conditions
  • @boink800
    And yet, people refuse to give up eating sugar which causes this mess in the first place.
  • I'm watching my father die slowly. He was exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam, then had SARS 20 years ago, that led to progressive health problems. His diabetes doctors had him on a 200 carb per day diet, and then were shocked when he went blind and his kidneys failed. He has been on dialysis for 18 months now, and he has very poor quality of life. He has quit eating anything except small amounts of desserts, and sleeps all the time. He has gone from a vibrant, vigorous man to this feeble shell of himself. It breaks my heart! The dialysis center sends home recipes for him to eat and they are nothing but sugar. The whole situation is sickening.
  • This is another "why" to stay healthy, eat right, exercise, and live a proper human life. I never want to have anything to do with dialysis.
  • @DrTonyHampton
    Listened to the entire interview. Now it's a little clearer why nephrologists are not excited to learn I've helped a patient reverse their failing kidneys with keto/carnivore. So sad! Ordered two copies and will be showing his book to patients with the hope it will motivate them to adopt a lower carb dietary approach.
  • @walllee6470
    My mom was on Dialysis for 19 years before she passed. She took her care seriously and would tell the tech and the doctor to slow the machine down if they ran her to high… At her funeral her doctor said he felt he lost a colleague…. She would help the other patients advocate for their treatment as well.
  • @sageysage8638
    This was highly informative. Years ago my father was on dialysis and it was just shear torture. He was so miserable and had no quality of life, and his fistula was constantly getting infected. After so many years of just being a living corpse, he gave up and decided that he wanted to die and refused his dialysis treatment and died within a week. As much a I grieved for his loss, at the same time I was relieved that his was no longer suffering. To me, the whole process was just evil. The torture was unspeakable.
  • I am a dialysis nurse. The government are requiring that 25% of the patient to do treatment at home. Most patients refuses cause it's a lot a work for them and a lot of doesn't feel like doing it. We are trying to get to do home dialysis. I push meat as best as I can but doctor's encourage vegetables and carbs
