70+% of the calories in steel cut oats is from carbohydrates. That's not healthy.

I eat about 10 eggs daily, only use butter. You need animal fats, no veg "fats".

You do, I'm not arguing that but you also need vegetables in your diet. Leafy greens are a great fiber source and they can be eaten at any time. Most LDL cholesterols bind to that fiber and then you pass it. Same with oatmeal

Man I've kicked sugar for so long that it makes me bleed out of my ass when I have more than ~30g a day.

Been on my latest keto diet for 2 weeks and woke up hung over today. Saw orange juice and it looked so cold, wet, and refreshing I said to hell with it today's a cheat day.

Chugged a half gallon and ate 2 twice baked potatoes I picked up, because cheat day. 20 minutes later, I pissed out my ass. It was an obscene amount.

Are they saying that her kidney failure was directly related to that drug? There's a thousand and one reasons why kidneys can fail. I'm sorry, you lost your mother. I lost mine too.

The stuff they give people for cholesterol is so much worse for them than just having moderately elevated cholesterol. Plus cholesterol itself is not bad for you, its a secondary byproduct of the true problem which is diet. Cholesterol is the repair molecule and janitor of your body and its production is increased when your body responds to illness, stress or injury.

The drugs they give you wreak havoc on your kidneys and liver. The mentality is like putting people on chemo for things like food poinsoning.

I'm really sorry. My mom was killed in a auto accident when she was 46. It will be hard for a while but but just remind yourself that you'll feel better in time.

Sorry to hear that man. That being said, kidney failure is not a commonly associated complication with Lipitor (liver failure is). Lipitor is (or was) the most commonly prescribed medicine in the US...and is in most cases, is handled without any problems other than muscle weakness and/or elevated liver enzymes.

But you are correct, in saying that exercise is an alternative to the medicine.

It's typically caused by eating cereal grains, bread, pasta, sugar, and similar refined carbohydrates, especially when they're mixed with vegetable oils as in fried corn chips, french fries, breakfast cereal, crackers, etc. These foods increase your blood volume because glucose binds to water molecules and it causes high blood pressure which damages the kidneys. It's scandalous the AMA doesn't address this issue. Medical doctors are generally discouraged or even forbidden from discussing dietary issues with patients. Listen to youtube lectures about the "LCHF diet". This has become a huge issue in recent years. People with this disease do have elevated blood cholesterol but that's caused by hyperinsulinemia, the body's response to a high carbohydrate diet. When patients full-stop carbs they piss out a gallon or two and this lowers their blood volume rapidly decreasing blood pressure to near normal levels. This disease is easily reversible by dietary changes, and dietary changes are far more effective than drugs.

Lol and the fat boys want us to pay for their self induced shitty health. Picking yourself up by your bootstraps actually fucking helps.

this is pretty accurate. i had blood pressure that hadn't responded to medication. i was on a really high dose considering i am not overweight and i am active.

fast forward and i was having acid reflux after eating carbohydrates. i was told to cut all grains for 2 weeks and reintroduce one at a time. I woke up on the floor. my blood pressure had plummeted because the bp had plummeted so low on the medication. kept a low carb diet since.

and im allergic to oats. I break out in hives in my esophagus. no other exterior symptoms.

Diabetes and high blood sugar draws fluid from the tissues and fries the little tiny nerves that control the diameter of capillary blood vessels. This causes all the things that slowly (or rapidly) kill non compliant diabetics. The retinas of the eyes damaged and leads to blindness, The circulation of the lower limbs damaged and leads to sores that won't heal and loss of feeling, the damage to the circulation of the heart muscle and obesity slowly or rapidly kills the heart, the tubules of the kidneys are fried leading to renal failure. I am a nurse and used to run a dialysis clinic.

People should try some variant of this diet (Atkins/Keto, etc.) and see how they feel after two weeks of honestly following it. Especially using only organic raw ingredients (meat and vegetables). You will be surprised how much lagging and mental fog you thought was getting old was just your diet of US government subsidized, RoundUp tainted grains poisoning you.
