You mean the Diagolon group who's leader is a cocaine using ceramic time travelling goat ?

The Diagolon that the House of Commons said was a "violent extremist organisation." but has never committed a crime ?

The same Diagolon that the RCMP determined: "DIAGOLON does not pose a criminal or national security threat." - Royal Canadian Mounted Police https://finance.yahoo.com/news/documents-reveal-shocking-rcm...

Diagolon is a meme and you don't get it, which is ok but stop spreading misinformation.

Fiat currencies are an almost perfect exploitation of humanities fatal flaws (greed, unwillingness to acknowledge externalities - i.e. selfishness).

Fractional reserve lending are an almost perfect exploitation of humanities fatal flaws (greed, unwillingness to acknowledge externalities - i.e. selfishness).

The answers for Canada's public health care system differ slightly but aside from the potential monetary issues for people without adequate insurance in the US, the Canadian system depends on capacity if you aren't a) a critical care patient b) high profile i.e. athelete, politician etc

1. Almost impossible to shop around 2. Instead this is a Dr's or a public system policy choice. 3. Dr's incentive is to minimize costs 4. Your ability to aquire healthcare is based on limited availability and your condition. If you are critical you will get immediate care, if you need a MRI - perhaps 6 months, if you need a specialist i.e. liver doc, sleep study, orthopedic surgeon etc, 1+ year 5. You have very little choice. Finding a family doc is very constrained

OBVIOUSLY, this depends on the province as health care is a provincial domain.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Not sure why people insist on posting comments like those identified. If you were publicly identified as making those comments, you would definitely be at risk of losing friends/jobs etc.

But that said, Parler isn't alone in their issue with inappropriate comments.

The benefit of low carb is the reduction in your body's production of Insulin.

Insulin resistance after decades of high carb diets, regardless of the # of calories consumed, is the source of all metabolic disease.

Low carb is going to reverse this, a simple reduction in calories won't.

The low carb diet also has access to your entirety of fat stores.

Insulin resistance will result in a huge amount of insulin in your blood stream. Insulin prevents fat from being removed from your fat storage so a reduction in calories, while it does show a short term (i.e.6 week) reduction in body weight, it also reduces your BMR which is why people regain the weight lost.

Once the alpha cells in your pancrease are insulin resistant, they will be producing glucagon causing elevated blood sugar compounding the problem.

tl/dr; - Insulin resistance is the source of all metabolic disease. Reduce it via a low carb/fasting lifestyle.

Dr's are also incredibly uninformed about Keto, Carnivore, low carb in general.

The response I've received from my Dr friends regarding nutritional intervention vs drugs, is that "diets don't work".

They have no clue as to recent research being done. Changes to medical "best" practice are generational and take a long time.

Its certainly not "completely uninsured" but I'm not sure I'd say it's an unmitigated good.

If you want a sleep study and it's not life threatening, 1 year. If you want a consult with an orthopedic surgeon, 6-12 months followed by a surgury in 6-12 months. If you want a liver specialist consult, 6-12 months.

Sure, living in the US without insurance is definitely hazardous but I wouldn't compare having insurance in the US with healthcare in Canada.

Insulin Resistance is the start of (all?) metabolic disease. So easy to resolve using fasting, intermittent fasting, keto, carnivore etc diets.

Unfortuneately it slowly builds up over decades and only once disease has progressed do Drs move on to treat the resultant disease (and mainly with cholesterol lowering drugs).

Instead of measuring fasting glucose levels (which indicate diabetes), insulin levels should be measured as they are the leading indicator.

Those numbers are going to go up if your hospitals are overwhelmed.

Additionally, a very large percentage of health care workers will catch the virus, this will further reduce the amount of capacity.

Loss of health care workers could be a long term issue as well given the CFR in a place like Italy.

Keep your inflammation down as well, that is going to be far more of an issue than your BMI.

With regard to organ donors, the meth problem is causing all sorts of heart valve infections due to users injecting impure substances into their veins.

This, of course, is no issue for people in non-socialized medicine countries, but in places like Canada it puts a further strain on available hearts as the meth users end up being another drain on Cardiac resources.

Seems like a lot of trauma to have multiple open heart surgeries.

Seems like something like a portable ECMO (not sure if that exists) would be less invasive

(ECMO is for oxigination which probably would be overkill in this situation)

"Patients will wear a 4-kg external controller pack that contains two rechargeable batteries (providing about 5 hours of operation each), although they can also plug in directly to a power outlet."

This seems like a potential issue.
