Today in the @Telegraph Starting off a whole week on T2D we have a big piece on how our team have improved diabetes care for our UK NHS population 🥳 Just eat nutritious food that doesn’t put your blood glucose up!! 157 cases of drug free T2D remission @bigfatsurprise @KenDBerryMD @drjasonfung @lowcarb_aus https://t.co/3Vk3lMoPdd

[Dr David Unwin @lowcarbGP]

Why am I not surprised!!

[Public Health Collaboration @PHCukorg]

Like all movements, none of this would have been possible without you.

Over the last 10 years, you have helped us grow from a simple idea into a movement dedicated to improving metabolic health and changing lives through knowledge, community and support.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported the Public Health Collaboration over the years, our members, volunteers, speakers, healthcare professionals, donors and supporters.

Together, we have continued our mission to educate, inspire and empower people with the knowledge that many chronic diseases can be prevented and, in some cases, reversed through sustainable lifestyle change and good metabolic health.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

Here's to the next 10 years, and to making an even bigger impact together.

[The Real Dr. Steven Horvitz @IMWHorvitz]

Thanks Bret.
How do you answer those who state the benefits of ldl lowering is overstated?
How exactly does an LdL particle, “all by itself” increase heart disease risk?
Do you see ldl as active and causal or as a marker of a system in or out of balance?
What NNT do you believe makes a statin worth using for secondary prevention?
Do you believe high ldl or insulin resistance is a bigger factor in heart disease risk?
Are there truly other statin studies and data from the past that were never published or are being withheld because they showed no or negative benefit in this debate? What do you say to the argument that cholesterol is part of the healing mechanism?
Why do nonogeneraians mostly have high cholesterol?
If lowering cholesterol with a monoclonal antibody like Repatha increased all cause mortality, does that mean lowering cholesterol is healthy?
It’s tough in science to make something a fact as all we need is one theory or example that disproves it to make it not a fact. So it will forever be a debate and over the past 5 years people are opening their eyes to the manipulation from Big Pharma. So even if big pharma all of a sudden became totally truthful, I think people would not believe them. So the statin debate is as much a trust debate as a true mechanism debate.

[John Tickner 🙂 @jgtickner]

@bschermd Thank you for a nuanced and balanced post

I think the problem (cardiology vs social media) is because the proven benefits in secondary prevention likely relate to pleitropic effects (increased Nitric oxide production) rather than LDL reduction to which Cardiology is wedded.

[Dr David Unwin @lowcarbGP]

Yet another case of drug free T2 Diabetes remission🥳 He just stopped eating the foods that put up his blood sugar (yes carbs) Dramatic weight loss, no hunger as low carb stimulates NATURAL GLP-1 production Well done that guy!! @StevenBartlett @drchatterjeeuk

[Bret Scher, MD @bschermd]

Cardiology calls statins miracle drugs. Social media calls them poison.

Both sides cite published scientific papers. How can they be looking at the same evidence and reaching opposite conclusions?

As a cardiologist, I think both sides are are on to something. Let me explain. 🧵

[Jan Ellison Baszucki @janellison]

Years ago, I learned of a published case study describing how a ketogenic diet helped @Carobeckwith recover from a 15-year battle with anorexia. Today's newly published research is a direct result of Caroline and her family's valiant journey, and their determination to help others explore the metabolic intervention that put Caroline's anorexia into remission.

At @BaszuckiGroup we've been honored to support @GuidoFrank and his team who designed, launched, recruited for, completed and published this pilot trial of ketogenic therapy in weight-normalized anorexia nervosa.

This paper is the culmination of many years of hard work--including from those who participated in the trial. A second study is already underway.

One family's journey sparked one clinician-scientist to want to learn more. Together, Dr. Frank and the Scolnick family have challenged the field to explore the metabolic roots and treatment possibilities of a disorder in which current treatments fail far too many.

Please share widely. A second nation-wide trial is enrolling now.

[Dr Jen Unwin @drjenunwin]

My son’s best mate is running 104 miles today in Scotland for an amazing charity helping suicidal people. Please support if you can. Track his progress in the next post 🙏🏻 Come on Angus!!!

This is so self indulgent, forgive me as I’m acutely aware this whole thing is *not* about me at all.

But I’m currently on holiday. In Greece. Unable to sleep again. Constantly churning over the death of poor Henry again. As I have every night.

It’s all I’ve posted about on here for days. Have had fun nights out and dinners with friends but then come back to my hotel and am on here continually reading reactions, reading news and opinion about it all.

I know it’s an obviously shocking and awful story so this isn’t a huge surprise but it’s had a disproportionate effect on me. Not sure if others can relate to this or not but I really just can’t stop thinking about it.

(Again, acutely aware this is not, and shouldn’t be about me. Am just over- sharing)

[Dr David Unwin @lowcarbGP]

This is the third study showing a ketogenic or low carb diet may help with eating disorders. Previously some worried that restricting a food group (carbs) would make eating disorders worse I have not found this in clinical practice @BDA_Dietitians @BrownAdey

Contemptible, deliberate, disingenuous and racially motivated smear of Badenoch.

This was done by Starmer government’s Ofcom.

Big thanks to the team at YouTube for helping us fight the censorship and restore the livestream despite Ofcom’s authoritarian regulation.

[Rachel Brett @ArborVS]

@benonwine Yes

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

The rage is there, Starmer, because the people who should be handling these problems are both incompetent and evasive

This is righteous anger
