At some point Dr. Hampton is going to lose his membership card. I am sure many doctors are casting votes in private.

Tony is some good people. In the past there was a lot of backlash against doctors who encouraged the carnivore diet. Dr. Baker had his license suspended for a time because of it. 
I believe the tide is turning though as carnivore becomes my mainstream. 

Yep. I'm about halfway thru Dr. Baker's book. 

I watched a video last night where Dr. Pauldinin (spelling?) was being grilled by the panel on "The Doctors". It was brutal, but mostly very rude. The appellate judge was sitting on the panel berating him on why he was an expert or not and she was in need of Carnivore, Atkins, Keto, something. 

I'm lucky my neurologist is totally onboard, and my primary doctor is close. He likes the results, but he gives me the cholesterol talk the last couple times I had appointments. 

I agree. At some point the medical field has to say, "Hey, wait a minute. Let me check that out", especially as more and more people report the positives. Maybe even more so when those positives are medical issues just not weight loss. 

Sort of bored at work waiting for our supply plant to catch up. Filling the time with carnivore research/reading.

Totally butchered his name in the above post.

Incredibly rude people.

And she was right. Saladino is anything but an expert. He was the wrong person to represent and advocate for Carnivore. Did a lot of damage. In fact he is still doing a lot of damage. An opportunist at best. He's selling watermelons now. Sugar crowd is bigger, more views, more likes, more money. 

She was rude. And obviously more passionate about berating than the subject matter at hand. 

"I don't agree. Please explain" would have went tons further. 

The doctor/nutritionist to his left made valid points on what she believes to be true but she was respectful and professional with her opinions. Then the male doctor toward the end had to hyper play his opinion for television. 

I'm currently carnivore and have eliminated a lot of things that I didn't know was killing me. Literally. Now I know how I feel so I doubt I reintroduce anything that I have eliminated. Mostly because maybe carnivore can't correct it next time. Just somewhat afraid of rocking the boat.

But with that said, if someone chooses to reintroduce sugars and carbs, more power to them. he won't be the first person to use the flavor of the month as a means to boost income. 

If I had issue with him I think it would be leading off with, "I'm a doctor", as that gives him credibility with the masses regardless of his content. That part I do struggle with.

"the doctors" show makes Sally Jesse Rafael and Maury Povich look like Pulitzer prize winners. The Armstrong sisters were on that with him and got muted. If you go to their respective channels they tell all about it

Paul got unfair treatment. That grey haired woman was an obnoxious pig. Very rude.

“Where did you gain your background in nutrition?” Asked the fat lady to the man in impeccable health.

Like to know exactly which EPISODE/season this was so I can watch while I work please.

You're one of the lucky ones like @Geezy with them being on board.

I tried to educate my cardiologist but he was condescending in his response to me, so I pulled the trigger

told him and his staff to Prove my liver producing 80% of my body's cholesterol was trying to kill me?

In the next sentence I told him if he can't him and his staff are f'n fired. (I didn't hold back promise you this.)

I will admit when I'm wrong for what I do or say but DO NOT belittle me or treat me like an idiot for lack of

formal education.

School of Life has served me well and damn sure bet you I'm not above learning/re learning vs halfwits that

hold degrees.

We had this very conversation at work yesterday but it was about Engineers not Doctors.

Memorizing the formulas and equations and theories can get you an "Engineering degree" but does not necessarily make you and "Engineer".

I started off in the naval Nuclear Power field, then to a Nuclear Power plant, then to an industrial enzyme facility, to a chemical plant and now to a Pharmaceutical/Chemical plant. I have worked with probably every type of Engineer known, and sometimes the "Custodial Engineer" is the most valuable because they can actually use a much higher percentage of what they know.

I only made two years of college while "at sea" in the Service. I have to suppose somewhere in the junior/senior year there is a class that I never got to titled, "As an Engineer/Doctor you do not have to listen to anyone without a degree" and in parenthesis (and only a small portion of those with a degree). I believe the disconnect begins there.

Most doctors, but not all, are repeating to us what they memorized. So, with that, cholesterol is bad. Period. Saturated fats cause heart failure. Period. Prescribed medicines are needed daily for a lifetime. Period.

Sort of to the point, but from a different angle. A few months ago, our dog passed away at 14 years old. The veterinary oncologist in a very high-end veterinary hospital came out and amongst these much younger, very clinical in approach, vets and techs he was much older. (Been around vets my entire life) He was one of the very best I had ever been around. He spoke as a doctor, and animal lover and listened to every work I said. He factored me and my thoughts into the path forward. At the end of the visit, I told him as we stood in a multi-million-dollar facility that I did not want to offend him, but he reminded me of an 'old family horse doctor' who would be more at home in muck boots on the farm. He laughed and said that was probably the best compliment he had ever received. He was a doctor, not just a Doctor if Veterinary Medicine. (if that makes any sense at all)

Babbling, it is 4:30 AM and the gym opens in a few minutes. Had some time to kill.

I love Bart Kay's review of Saladino or SaladIdontknow as he calls him.

I think my life's ambition now is to hear Bart Kay calling people an imbecile.
