I tried the keto diet and after 7 or 8 days came extreme fatigue, vomiting, not thinking straight. I couldn’t keep food down.
Then I went out and bought some flatbread. Ate it slowly with water. In about and hour or two I was fine.
Not everyone can tolerate keto.
Keto doesn’t cure infections, diabetes, cancer, cardiomyopathy, etc. There are times you must have medicine; that’s why people live longer now than 200 years ago.
The point of the post was that many life saving medications are either from, or their precursors are from, mainland China.
The government should have never allow companies to make us this dependent on any one country. For instance if there is a bacterial infection killing many people and China cuts us off then we are up a creek without a paddle.
Sometimes things are more important than whatever the “business leaders” or the “chamber” want.
Keto is a little more complex than that to do, especially when you start. If you ever try again I would recommend watching a lot of videos, from Dr.Boz, Dr Stan Eckberg, Dr.Berg, and others. What you had is described as keto flu and most people experience some level of it for a few days when they begin.There are things you can do to mitigate those rough first days such astaking pkenty of salt and electrolytes.
And actually, much evidence is coming in that many many long term diseases can be reversed by a keto diet.
Dr. Christopher Palmer, head of Harvard Medical school Psychiatry department has written a book called Brain Energy about his discovery that many mental illnesses are in fact metabolic disorders and can be controlled or even cured by a ketogenic diet. Heres a good video if interested. https://www.youtube.com/live/GUvkLS0P8DU?feature=share
There’s more and more published studies that many illnesses can be reversed by a keto diet. Type Two diabetes absolutely hasbeen reversed by keto, as well as high blood pressure, heart issues and lots of others. Im very thankful for the medicines we have, but in light of the U.S. precarious situation, it seems prudent to try as much as possible to get as healthy as possible.
