[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 741200, member: 18958"] Dear Bluebell: Jason Fung MD (who I referenced in a post to SWOT) is a nephrologist (kidney specialist) who is in Toronto but his work is all over the internet in articles and youtube videos. He became interested in intermittent fasting and diet as a way to help his patients with diabetes a disease which compromises the kidneys. His work (also seen on dietdoctor.com, I think) is very accessible and he is warm and human in his manner. His clinic actually takes distance patients by coordinating with their physicians. As I research the things that have affected me in my life I am finding core things that may be responsible. Like for example I was born 3 months prematurely at a time this was a huge deal and they did not know how to respond to these infants that survived. I am seeing now that aspects of my personality and response to stress, and my temperament and the way my brain works....good and bad....are likely related to the circumstances of my birth and the lack of response by professionals who did not know how to help me or my parents. Likewise I think that Elsi has given us a great gift by sharing her focus on inflammation and how it can affect everything about our bodies and minds. I KNEW about this but I refused to keep it front and center. Why? Who knows? This Dr. Fung by putting his patients on an intermittent fasting, low carb diet protocol is able to wean them off of cholesterol medicine and by my understanding positively affect heart conditions. This occurs even with very ill individuals. Blood sugar drops precipitously. While I myself would not involve myself as his patient, I very much rely upon his work to guide me to make personal choices about my diet and behavioral choices. I was able to lower my blood sugar--by accident. My doctor got alarmed by my high blood sugar. While he did not tell me, I saw I was pre-diabetic. By the dietary supplements I used to lower cholesterol my blood sugar dropped a waaaay lot below anything that would even be concerning. (My cholesterol dropped too.) Unfortunately, I stopped doing all of these good things, when I became despondent about my son. But I started again. While nobody here can speak to anything medical with any authority, there are people here who have done a lot of online and book research in order to deal with themselves and their lives. I trust the people here. [/QUOTE]
