Wired,
I'm glad you think you can CLAIM someone did something when you have no proof, much like your approach to healing AF. I'd love for the posts to be brought back. You will clearly see that saying that AF doesn't exist and questioning someone's claim about 1)having AF and 2)healing AF, are quite different, but maybe I shouldn't blame you, its probably the lack of glucose from low-carbing that's causing you this confusion.
Might I remind that my initial response to the OP, in which this all began, was to work with his doctor on the identified issues on his lab test, which were low thyroid and heavy metals. Why pursue anything else at that time? You say because you will tank the Adrenals. Last, I checked, the
Iodine forum was healing AF left and right as a result of bringing the thyroid back online. There's another method being used to heal the adrenals as well called T3CM using Dessicated Thyroid to heal the adrenals. So it appears that this is NOT "common knowledge".
Yes, I do edit my posts. Quite similarly to you, except I am editing mine for grammar errors, while you are editing for content and changing your words.
Your personal attacks on my character are absolutely false. Yes, at one point I ate all raw. SO DID YOU! But now I do not, but I understand the importance of carbs, which is why I am healing.
I am certain that a lot of people who end up CZ have been through the doctor route. But, I also bet that a lot have not gone to the doctor right away and started googling symptoms at first sign, just like I did. Men often do not go to the doctor unless it is an extreme circumstance. Eventually I found out that doctors were unable to help me, but I am extremely glad I eliminated other illnesses like hypothyroidism before I started trying random internet protocols, which is absolutely stupid. I'd love to see your statistics seeing as how you know everyone on CZ went to doctors first.
How long have you been dealing with AF? At what point do you start adding in carbs? While I agreed with most of what Faith said, I also posted a link to a study about why people can't tolerate carbs and its due to low carb diets. There are also more studies from the National Institute of Health that regard low carb diets as causes of insulin resistance and reactive hypoglycemia. EVERYTHING YOU STATE THAT COMES WITH AF, IS A DIRECT RESULT OF LOW-CARBING. Maybe you might have developed some intolerances to certain foods. I have grain intolerances. Can't eat corn, rice, quinoa, none of it. But that doesn't mean I can't tolerate any carbs.
Because it doesn't align with your views it is now a "haters paradise". Ha! you are hilarious! Its been said sooooooo many times that not one protocol works for everyone. I have no problem with this. But you on the other hand believe your methods to be flawless and applicable to everyone. I, on the other hand, don't believe this, however, I will express my views and if needed, post the studies that support my claims.
You can down play me as a newb. That's fine. Just because I haven't been posting to CZ for very long. I've been dealing with my sickness for years, however. I've already been down the low-carb route. It didn't/doesn't work. If you want to be tired and not sleep and have brain fog, low-carb just might be for you. I didn't heal one bit until I added in carbs.
