@thelowcarb_rd@RobertWallSt You can come off it for social stuff, you then might find you want to go back quickly. That’s how I discovered my wheat intolerance.
@thelowcarb_rd Funnily enough, when I discovered I had arthritis in my CV spine, it had flared up badly. When I went to the physio and we talked Keto she said I would come off meds as it’s an anti inflammatory diet. She was right. So who is organising all this knowledge?
@Square1Wellness We certainly do, I belong to a Meetup group and they are lovely, but some think they are going to have a painful death and it’s all downhill now! 😢
@BenBikmanPhD@SwissRe Also vitamin D test, as a teacher indoors for years when I finally had a test it was horrendously low. My bone pains when within 3 weeks after good supplements.
@LowOxCoach1 Oh it turns out his AI and google info finding was bang on correct. Another garage has now confirmed the problem. So no use the Internet, that’s what it was designed for.
@LowOxCoach1 I was in court recently where the person challenging the bad service had the judge and garage sneering at him for Google info finding. At thenend of trial the judge and garage barrister used Google to work out his compensation! You couldn’t make it up! 🤣🤣
“Don’t Confuse Your Prescription Pad with Critical Thinking”🧐 (Mini Rant)
I’m about to say what a lot of people and patients want to say, but might not have the words.
Let’s start with an observation. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has noticed the pattern:
Some clinicians on X increasingly seem to treat credentials, prescription authority, and clinical status as though they are arguments in and of themselves.
They mock “wellness influencers,” appeal to their ability to prescribe medications, or cheer on vulgar attacks against dissenters — all while conveniently sidestepping the actual data.
They know who they are.
And more importantly, you do too.
Here’s the uncomfortable reality:
Medicine is changing.
The era of tightly gatekept information and unquestioned authority is ending. Patients are becoming more informed. Younger physicians, researchers, and scientific commutators are more willing to challenge assumptions.
Science is becoming democratized.
And that is a good thing.
To be clear, clinical experience has value. But experience alone is not infallibility. It can sharpen judgment, or reinforce confirmation bias if it’s never challenged by data, humility, or self-reflection.
Having access to a prescription pad does not automatically make someone wise, rigorous, or intellectually honest.
Otherwise stated: don’t confuse your authority over a prescription pad with critical thinking.
@lowcarb_mark@PHCukorg Are you going to that meal the organise? I wasn’t overly impressed so won’t be there. Im travelling up each day so have packed my snacks. I prefer the rib cap. 😀
@LowOxCoach1@MerrileeMe47638 Maybe he has sponsorship, I think there’s a lot of distraction against a real human diet. Someone is also trying to hijack fibre.
