AF loves to promote his message through fear, he has previous during the so called "Aids crisis". His description of some people's reticence in regards to this experimental treatment as "ideological bullshit" and how they should be prevented from employment in large corporations or excluded from education, like how is this any of hisfeicing business!!
His mild mannered paternal outward persona belies a very disturbing human.

Let's go with this one. A mate just turned 60, T2D for 10 years treated with all the standard drug protocols. Carrying too much weight,has nasty foot ulcer for over 12 months, diabetic retinopathy requiring injections into his eyeballs, regularly shits himself and now on insulin like a T1.
He hangs on every word of his dietitian with the healthy whole grains and low saturated fat, 5 a day, healthy cooking oils crap. All the while steadily declining.
Someone who is severely insulin resistant(carbohydrate intolerant) eating loads of carbs. In what universe does that make sense.
Won't listen to a word I say regardless of me showing him evidence of 100s of people just like him resolving their symptoms by drastically reducing the carbs in their diet.
Adamant he's going to listen to the doctors and nurses, they know best after all. And he's married to a nurse!
Sorry couldn't find any humour in this sad tale.

Why should he listen to you?

I assuming your advice is based upon "your published" scientific research. The research has been conducted to relevant standards and peer reviewed to the highest degree? Yes it is. Or is this just 100s of anecdotal claims that is used to back up your views and no serious scientific basis behind it?No it isn't. If the answer is as I suspect, then he's absolutely right not to listen to you.

I've no doubt diet and healthier lifestyles can help "reduce" symptoms for certain conditions, even if it's just for mental health or a placebo effect. Lots of the stuff I read is pure pseudoscience and backed up by no real scientific research or clinical trials, which is morally wrong and downright dangerous.
T2 diabetes can be put into remission by diet and lifestyle,FACT.
Sit outside the endocrinology dept. to get a feel for whats coming down the tracks, it would be motivation enough for most if they were at least presented with this advice by the "professionals"

I think if you read the study itself they are trying to demonstrate that there is a significant signal that could imply that the vaccines may be problematic for some people. Further independent studies should be funded to either prove or disprove this. Plus vaccination programs suspended for all except high risk individuals until we understand the risk/benefit better.

I wonder what the Far Right opinion is in relation to this immigrant medic?

We are all old. With advanced age comes more illness. The population is aging. By 2037 1 in 12 people will be over 65.
Yeah we are all going to die at some stage no dodging that but I do not agree that we have to accept the largely self inflicted chronic diseases so many are inflicted with. None of
this helped by the scientifically baseless health messaging we have been duped with for the last 50 years.

Sounds a bit Joe Rogan tbh.
Try these authors.
Nina Teicholz
Gary Taubes
Dr Malcolm Kendrick
Dr Chris Knobe
Professor Tim Noakes
That'll do for now, don't want to overwhelm anyone.

"The NHS is one of the biggest employers in the world, with some estimates putting it as high as the sixth biggest only behind the Indian Ministry of Defence, US Department of Defense, the People's Liberation Army of China, Walmart and Amazon."

Quote from: Last Man on April 17, 2024, 09:18:58 AMSo you have heat in the rads but no HW?

Aye, rads pumping hot, The boiler in fairness hasn't had a check up in a few years, some parts were replaced a while back, was just looking a quick temp fix till I get someone to have a quick assessment on it, she's said someone might call this evening but I'll not hold my breath
Is your heating timer 2 channel i.e. separate buttons for HW and heating? If so there is a motorised valve somewhere. If your copper cylinder is upstairs it usually would be prioritised by convection (along with the upstairs rads) unless your motorised valve is foobarred which seems most likely at this stage.

I urge anyone struggling in this regard to look up Dr Georgia Ede (psychiatrist) May well not be the whole story but its certainly part of it.
