How Do You Know?

    How do you know which autoimmune diseases can be significantly improved or reversed by an ultra-low carb way of eating?  Easy answer.  All of them.  Diabetes Type 1 and 2, Chrone's, IBS and IBD, SIBO, psoriasis, eczema, epilepsy, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, MS, Parkinsons, lupus, myasthenia gravis, celiac disease, pernicious anemia, and Alzheimers.  Not a complete list by any means, but you get the drift.  Some are harder to control than others, with T2 diabetes being one of the easiest, and MS one of the hardest.

     Going beyond the world of auto-immune, technically speaking, are such conditions as obesity, fatty liver, gout, atherosclerosis, gastroparesis, asthma, periodontitis, severe acne, and osteoporosis/osteopenia.  An even more incomplete list.  Then there are mental conditions such as depression in all its many variants, schizophrenia, cognitive decline/Alzheimer's, and very nearly the rest of the mental disability list in textbooks that respond very well to very low-carb eating.  Scoff as you will, but emerging research, and by now millions of anecdotal successes dealing with those many ailments are ever more coming to light.  Which makes the increasing drumbeat of the deluded plant people, and their demonization of animal products, red meat especially, ever more dangerous to public health, and evermore makes our population sicker and beholden to big food and big pharma.  As Professor Harold Hill said, "Makes your blood boil?  Well I should say!"
