“Thank you Ben and Dr. Cole for your sincere enthusiasm and caring for the health condition of people.
It is very inspiring and gives hope that, if we treat our bodies as God intended, eating the food he created, unprocessed at its most basic level, in proper proportions can be used for healing and medicinal purposes and actually help us live longer, more prosperous and better lives.
Since starting my Keto Plan. I have noticed big changes less irritability, more tranquility, inflammation has dissipated and weight loss of 6lbs.
My first week of being on the Keto plan, my occasional hangery pains were different - I had more control over them and worked through it until I could get to the proper Keto food. The other diets of high-carb, low-fat I could never fight the hunger pains and always irritable.
In the past I tried the Keto Diet but, was unsuccessful not having the proper information of what and how to work through and overcome the Keto Flu or hunger. On my first attempt at Keto I just assumed the Diet was not for me because of those symptoms but, having the knowledge of what caused it and how to avoid going through that phase or pitfall (being the lack of sufficient potassium and staying well beyond hydrated), definitely helped me get through it.
Your input and those of your colleagues, like this video, help quench the fear factor that other diets and pour medical information has buried into my brain and every skeptical baby boomer I talk to. There is a mental jaded skepticism towards the word, “Diet” because of the failure rate of most, if not all of them. What’s helped me the most so far is when I would have a question or concern about the Keto Diet I would research the answer through various resources, books, online MD’s, Peers, yourself included and find the answer. This also help me to get rid of the old way of dieting, which I believe we have been brainwashed to believe.
The big food corporations, medical corporate and their business money machine that is afraid of financial loss and the loss of billions of dollars of revenue, which even they are lost to, think they would be dissolved if people actually turned to food as a medicine when in actuality they just need to be re-educated or informed and take step in a new direction to build a different better healthy machine.
Just on a small note, if you haven’t seen the Netflix Documentary, The Magic Pill, it’s very enlightening and I strongly recommend it.
It’s a little corney, even nerdy, but if you can get past that part it’s very revealing.
This simple documentary was my first step to the revelation of unhealthy food industry.
It gives a great health perspective about foods, how we eat, what we should eat and why. It dispels fallacies about healthy fats, low carbs, gives insight to unhealthy ingredients the food Industry provides in abundance and how
it all developed. It flips the old high carbs, low fat food pyramid up side down. It’s an older documentary but, still proves out and supports what you are saying in your video.
The awareness I’ve come to is that the medical world throws around the word, “health” and we all bow to it with trust thinking the FDA (They) know what they are doing and have our best interest at heart when in reality they are just as uninformed about nutrition as most people are and out of their own fear they must keep the giant Industrial food machines well oiled thinking that if these mass producers stop they will go broke. Of Course, they are not seeing the bigger picture that If millions of people die of bad food choices within the next 20 years they are going to lose tons of money anyways. I understand quick and easy food access and consumption idea (fast food, pre-package eating as it caters to the fast pace American life-style) but, nothing’s worse then always being unhealthy or feeling terrible all the time and not knowing why.
Hard choices need to be made and changing the way we think about food as medicine and how it contributes to health and wellness. It takes determination and commitment until it becomes 2nd nature.
What you and your friends are doing is helping that happen.
Wellness for life!
Thanks you again,
Your mission is in my prayers,
Valerie Carter”
