My 2 children and I have all had miraculous healings as a result of dietary changes and supplements. My son was probably on the autism spectrum but 35 yrs. ago diagnosis was not good. His whole personality changed over a 2 week period when I was able to figure out food sensitivities which were causing his learning and emotional problems.
Then the 3 of us got into some cutting-edge nutritional research at the Univ. of TX which prescribed the proper supplements for each of us. I was in the study for 25 yrs. but my son's gut was healed in only 3 yrs. so that he could eat anything with no ill effects. And this was not uncommon in that study!!! This child who was a terribly disabled mess at the age of 8 graduated National Merit Commended and very popular with NO emotional or learning problems! But has your typical M.D. heard about it?
I, myself, could have been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue as a child and made an amazing recovery at about the age of 30 I cut a lot of carbs, including grains and dairy, out of my diet. Now, at the age of 66 I have FAR more energy than I did as a child. No aches, no pains, and NONE of what are considered by the AMA to be "normal diseases of aging". Why? I believe it's because of the diet I've been on along with the supplements tailored to MY needs for the past 30 yrs.
I don't know what ax the first poster has to grind. Probably he's a doctor. The American medical establishment is educated "cradle to grave" by Big Pharma, which hasn't figured out how to profit from food and supplements so they won't fund research on nutrition. And they fund a huge amount of the studies which are done. One reason that our nation wastes HUGE amounts of our GNP on inferior medicine is that the typical doctor is egotistically ignorant of studies such as the one my kids and I were in THIRTY yrs. ago! If they would open their minds instead of attacking the messenger millions would have their health improved and the US could use our resources to actually help people who need it. Because better NUTRITION can cure health problems which the AMA throws huge dollars at while causing a humongous number of negative side effects.

Dr. Hyman and his book "he Blood Sugar Solution" grabbed my attention when Charlie put him on the show and introduced him to an audience of old folks like myself.
Lots of PBS self-help crap is sold to raise money for the least offensive public service network.
CSPAN and BLOOMBERG, two other helps to old people to keep their mental faculties up to par for very little money, are my other favorites.
When I can't stand the crap, I go to Turner Classic Movies (whome I believe is owned or otherwise managed by Time Warner) for good advice from the times when I was young.
As to Blood and Sugar, I've been a lemon fan all my life. I do like chocolate and sour fruit a lot. I like lots of near-bitter goodies too.
Still I've got congestive heart failure (CHF) which means death always minutes away -- even if the minutes pile up to a decade. I fight it with as much tennis and swimming as I find convenient.
After more than a decade with no drugs and no doctors after quintuple bypass surgery when I was 76, the kids forfced me to see a cardialogist because of SOB (shortness of breath when your are an sob). I went and he cured me with extended nitgro glycerine and blood pressure reducers. But he promises I'm living on luck -- not brains.
So I'm all worked up by Dr. Hyman. I'll follow up on him afeter I move in with my eldest son. I'm too stupid to live alone.
Dr. Hyman has a point when he says we can do more against some acute symptoms than belly fat. I've never been thin, but not usually more than 5 to 10% too heavy.
I'm in favor of millions of well trained paramedics being used for free by all of us when we want one. After practice as a paramedic, I would invite the best of them to become licensed practioners in the many specialties we reserve for MD's.
The whole universe of "doctors" ought to be reformed to allow guaranteed income experienced professonals to compete with the best "doctors" until people started in the profession at age 15 and became licensed "doctors" under a system that was fair and very good at identifying gifted people whose ability to diagnose disease and healthy ways to overcome sickness on account of their talnet and knowledge -- who would consent to 100 percent recording of the results of their actual performance.
Our main problem is that because liars and quacks would take over without government control, and too many of these would impoverish all our good doctors, we have a system that reduces the universe of doctors to less than half of what we need. We should err on the side of protecting incomes for wannabe doctors as the system, over time, proves from results that the doctor you like is no quack.
Meanwhile, research oriented doctors, whose education is more comparable to engineering than medical school, can probably keep much of what we do without wholesale change.
Today's practice, where doctors see large numbers of insured customers for almost no time at all, is aimded at profit more than anything else. If you're happy, it's because he's a salesman and you're lucky.
HOWEVER, all of the above is exaggerated and full of half-truths.

Finally! Someone has the courage to say what's really going on with the medical profession. Thank you, Dr. Hyman. It's funny the way Charlie talks right through his guest's words when he doesn't want to hear the truth.

Yes, I know someone who did just that, reverse their condition by their diet.

Charlie, for you buddy:

SharkswithfrikingLazers 03/20/2012 06:04 PM Report
Yes, food is the most important medicine on the planet.
EAT RAW!
SharkswithfrikingLazers 03/20/2012 06:02 PM Report
Yes, diet and exercise.
Got it medical profession.
Come back when you know how to override thousands of years of evolution that says eat sugar and don't exercise.

Charlie, you sure skipped over the fecal transplant rather quickly.
"At the Centre for Digestive Diseases in Sydney, Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) is now being extended beyond CDI, to other conditions including Ulcerative Colitis[21][22], Autoimmune disorders[23], Neurological conditions[24], OBESITY and Metabolic Syndrome/DIABETES[10].
The future of FMT is likely to move away from crude, homogenized human flora and progress towards the use of highly refined stool, comprising bacteria only and mixed with a cryoprotectant to be frozen and stored for usage.
Ultimately such an extract can be dried, powdered and encapsulated to be administered as an enteric coated medication for use in a number of flora-related conditions.

Charlie, perhaps one of your guests will set up a donor bank? They can still be full of "it" but in this case "it" has to be the good stuff. How about that Chef with the vegetables tattooed up and down his arm?

Oh, Oh Charlie . . .
Salon Article:
Note to Dr. Hyman: Larger is a measurement of size and isn’t synonymous with swollen.
Note to Dr. Hyman: Association is not causation.
“Before I could change the channel, I heard Dr. Hyman make the following comments: “The way we think about disease, mental illness, and our brain aging, actually has nothing, nothing to do with how our body actually works … The way we think about disease is all wrong … the name of the disease tells us nothing about the real reason or the causes of them. Diseases don’t exist.”
Surely this rather unconventional opinion should have caught the attention of those responsible for airing this program on public television. I find it hard to believe that this type of rhetoric can be seen as consistent with mainstream medical wisdom, even by those who are not well versed in science.”

This is an important subject, but not a new one. "Body, Mind and Sugar" was published 60 yrs ago. Americans in particular ingest far too much sugar and carbs generealy, not just in things like cookies and sodas and ice cream, but stuck in all sorts of other stuff to increase sales. I rarely eat processed food of any kind. One would hope the increasing demand would entice more to get into the business of producing more fruits and vegs.
