I believed my genetics allowed normalcy with little sleep. I was so wrong. It was a tumor in my adrenal. My healthcare professionals thought I was paranoid. I had an overwhelming feeling of doom. I’d have runs of ventricular tachycardia on the EKG. Unfortunately I wasn’t a fan of mRNA technology with refusal placing me in an awkward position. I kinda went off their radar long enough to drop a significant amount of weight by juice fasting. The interesting thing is this feeling of panic, paranoia, fright/flight anxiety or whatever became manageable. Once the weight came off I went mainly animal based concentrating on protein. This came in especially helpful with surgery. Now with the tumor excised any mental dyscrasia is but a distant memory. The important thing is to use a low carb diet to reveal the trees.
@30:00 in the minds of "normal" dieticians who believe carbohydrates are essential, they would assume that carb restriction will create an eating disorder. It would be similar to having a water restricted life or an air restricted lifestyle. If you MUST have them, the only logical conclusion is the development of a phobia around such things. When doctors with circular logic rule the planet, this is what we get. No progress, no actual thought, just robots. Thanks for continuing to break the mold.
Fantastic info from the great Paul Mason! I too am appalled by the very idea that there is a threshold for considering auto-antibodies as too high. The correct amount is ZERO! Shocking really. Great to find out how right I have been about so many things, when I hear Our Paul clearly explaining them. I'm sorry he still thinks school is a good place for kids. He should be home educating them !!
I have plaque, CAC score of 12. Ive been given the statin talk many times. When I didnt want those I was offered the other type , fancy inhibitors. I said if you can tell me the numbers needed to treat, ill consider it. Silence. Cardiologist didnt know. The alternatives she wanted me on are not for use on their own but in combo with statins according to the Cochrane Review. I've done my 'Mesa' score. I'm low risk. The letter back to my GP from cardiologist said I "wasnt interested "in cholesterol lowering meds. Not true and I told my GP so. I told her It's important to ask the patient not just read the letters because Ivey never said I wasnt interested, Im VERY interested . If in my case there's a benefit please enlighten me, I do want to live! Never has anyone in my medical team enlightened me appropriately.
27:24 absolutely! It wasn’t until I figured out that I was sub-clinically hypo-thyroid that I was able to understand my high LDL-C & treat my migraines! 😮
Re: ferritin. There is light ferritin and heavy ferritin. A blood test does not differentiate from the two. Light ferritin found in the blood on a blood test has already emptied the iron out of it. Ferritin in the blood is little more than a marker for inflammation. It is not indicative of iron stores. If hemoglobin is normal then you are not anemic. If there is a problem with dysfunctional iron it is likely due to a copper deficiency. Copper is necessary for ceruloplasmin to regulate iron. This is why taking chlorophyll often resolves iron deficiency or at least an iron deficiency diagnosis. It's a matter of getting iron out of the organs and back into circulation.
6:01 This is misleading. I'm certain you are fully aware of the Australian vitamin B12 lab results guidelines, as it is written in plain English (you only quoted half of the statement, omitted important details). There are 2 tests: Total serum vit B12, & Active B12 (Holotranscobalamin). If Total B12 is 400 pmol/L or less, they test Active B12 levels, to clarify B12 status (over 400 pmol/L is regarded replete). If Active B12 levels are 35 pmol/L or less, then it's regarded as Vit B12 deficient (regardless of Total serum B12). The Active B12 test is much more expensive, therefore only undertaken when clarification is needed.
@@KenJackson_US Nah, he was just enthusing about it as a superior statistical measure. Really. He would laugh like a drain when it was pointed out, I bet. I am an Aussie, and I think he's the bee's knees. I watch him whenever I can. No need to defend him! 😂 I was not having a go at him. Really. 🙏
I can't seem to get both my vitamin D and platelet count in the reference range. If I take vitamin D, my platelet count drops. I never feel sick from either out-of-range biomarker, but it really sucks that I can't do anything to make my doctor stop worrying.
The irony is that in Oz 🙃🦘🇦🇺🙃 the results come back with a reference range, as Paul says - but for cholesterol, they suddenly start caring about TARGET ranges for primary and secondary interventions. They then say to aim for LDL under (some very silly number). Then the doc pushes statins. I dont recall any other ones with a "target" like that. There is a LOT of pushing. They even wanted to put statins in the water, like fluoride. 😮
I have a feeling it will be shown that prolonged fasting can heal many autoimmune conditions. High ferritin? Prolong fasting to get that ferritin down… etc.
What are your thoughts on the (apparently) developing science of “Metabolomics”, whereby advancing mass-spectrometry / AI systems etc are being used to provide personalised health data and subsequent individual plans? Are they another expensive pseudo-science aimed at sucking cash out of the wealthy “worried well”? Or could they become a valuable mainstream diagnostic tool?
Now I’ve been waiting to hear this.. I read “Rethinking Diabetes “ by Gary Taubes.. we need to “Rethink Cholesterol “. We have been lied to for years… mostly for the medical profession and big pharma to push their drugs.
They restricted egg yolk consumption by scaring people about cholesterol. The real reason is to restrict the complete nutrition present in yolk. We were too dumb not to realise that an entire fricking animal comes out of yolk meaning everything that animal body needs is in yolk. What a scam !!!
Here is what I learned from this video. If you eat the SAD, you are going to need a genius of a doctor like Dr. Paul Mason to keep you well. Good luck with that. If you eat Carnivore, you are good to go. The body is too complicated to mess around with things that we did not evolve to eat. Your body is amazing. Give it what it needs.
Weird food pyramid.. The meats should be on top, veggies and fats be on second top. If you tip the pyramid around so it stands normal, the meats should be on the bottom, veggies and fats on second floor 🤠
Totally agree with Australian blood tests not designed to detect any problems. My dr kept testing me and of course it was always in the "normal" range, but mysteriously disappeared when I started 3000mcg a day of Methyl B12. My dr apologised for the system!
If only there was a Paul Mason in every suburban general practice. Alas it can not be so so I am searching out a new doctor. Haven't found one yet and I haven't visited my regular GP for over a year for various reasons.

Well duh ...if you don't check levels, it's totally irrelevant. Most of us do like to see these markers vastly improve with healthy woe. It's great biofeedback as a kind of reward for this woe. Just as a CGM or glucometer give immediate feedback to how foods affect glucose levels.
I had a cardiologist who wanted me to take statins because my LDL was 'too high'. He got a bit annoyed when I asked him what level we were trying to get down to. His answer was "zero would be a good outcome"! My wife and I looked at him and I said "If I could get my LDL down to zero, I'd be dead wouldn't I, given that LDL is an essential component of life"? He gave me the prescription, I got them and didn't take them, I also didn't consult him again.
What I can not understand is why my mother at 100 years old is placed on a satin to increase her chances of survival over a 10 year span. There is only one chance in a thousand that a centenarian will reach 110. Actuarial tables are most unkind to centenarians, even in the best of circumstances. That would apply to most of the medications she has on prescription and she takes a few morning and night.
Yes, my cardiologist was annoyed when I asked about possibly a test to determine the size of the LDL, but he was in this lecture mode referencing the Jupiter Study on cholesterol, given that Dr Paul Mason has enlightened my understanding of how statins/cholesterol relationship works, I no longer will visit that cardiologist, the lack of acceptance that a patient might have a point that he disagrees with is unfortunately common in Australia. My doctor is far more accepting/supportive of my Keto lifestyle.
Dr. Paul Mason is a brilliant physician & educator, and is always a pleasure to listen to and to learn from. Glad to see there's a new generation of Masons on the way 😊
Dorevitch gave me a Holotranscobalamin of greater than 146, their requirement was greater than 27 (pmol/L). Guess I was higher than their reference range.
Dr Ken Berry has a book called Common Sense Labs; it's available as an e-book. In it he gives the standard and optimal ranges for the various tests. For example the standard reference range for fasting insulin is <10. The optimal is between 2 and 5. There are some blood test results (eg various cholesterol) where he states the standard and the optimal is "it's complicated"). I'm in Australia so our numbers are different to the US. Instead of trying to convert the book numbers I convert my numbers so I can check against the book. There are conversion calculators available online; I use the omni calculators.
"Incredibly, the Seventh-day Adventist Church have an overpowering influence over the establishment of dietary guidelines and dietary and medical education." Well if we did people would be more healthy and less prone to disease. Mixing the SDA message with big pharma is disingenuous. It is NOT part of our message, it is literally the opposite. Having said that some of our institutions pushed the vax. But that behaviour is actually against the beliefs of the Church as a whole. You would not know it from our 'offical' publications but it is the truth. If you want to know more you can ask me.
This was really interesting and it's impossible to deny our historical nutrition history...and our disastrous current propaganda about what we should be eating.
TWO COMMENTS: 1. If carbohydrates are so toxic, why would we have ever evolved a pancreas and the hormone insulin to make use of glucose as a source of energy? Same goes for glycogen and glucagon. 2. Any "randomized-controlled trial can be designed to obtain a desired and predetermined result. Therefore, the first question to ask about ANY study is "who funded it".
Actually carbohydrate is not dangerous if it comes from real food. The problem start when we eat processed carbohydrate which actually these food industry remove the antidote for Carbohydrate(fibers). So glucose spike is dangerous which only happens when we eat processed carbohydrate like pasta, refined flour. So eat real food and u will be perfectly fine
