Dr. James Muecke AM - 'Blinded...' 

A message to my fellow Grandmothers , stop being a sugar pusher,no more lollies,biscuits, fruit juices in my home.10 grandkids still getting used to the change.Oma doesn’t bake cakes anymore.

I'm sorry, but breakfast probably is the most important meal of the day. That's why I'm just cooking up my breakfast now at 2pm, a 6-extra-large-egg omelette with salt and plenty of butter and a few slices of bacon on the side. 3 of the eggs had double yokes 💪🏽 Thanks for the advice, Kelloggs

An Aussie doctor reporting on the facts. The authorities won't like that.

I feel fortunate that I found low carb and now carnivore though solving my adult life long IBS. However, I’m still the weirdo who eats fats with my protein and no processed foods. Those around me are still hooked on eating ‘lowfat’ because of their worries concerning cholesterol. The whole of society needs to rewire their brains about healthy eating. This man talk is brilliant.

Australia needs to heed this message. As A older Ausie male in my 70TSs I can recall "Australia rode off the sheep's back" wool was an worldwide in demand commodity & fatty lamb, hogget & mutton was mostly a very cheep by-product enjoyed by every Ausie. Lard. dripping was used for cooking everything, puddings tasted delish. only oils available were from chemist's, medical purposes in small bottles. Low carb diets A proven healthier diet. Thanks doctor.

I have gone low carb since Oct last year had a blood test 1 mth in and was borderline on the diabetes and high blood pressure 3mths later all had reversed Now 42 kgs lighter still going strong on low carb I am finding it easy and eating basically out of my backyard and my chickens My eyes werent showing any signs but my vision is improving I am back wearing my first pair of glasses

This presentation by Dr Muecke is brilliant. I also saw his 'Turning the Tide' video late last year. Proud to see a South Australian doctor tell it like it is.

Excellent presentation Dr Muecke, videos like this should be made available in all schools and hospitals in Australia, they should be a compulsory requirement for health education in all schools.

We need more truth-talkers like this!

Cravings can be conquered, once I’m in a state of ketosis I have no cravings.

Thankyou this needs to be shared to the world! So hard to get people to listen!

Thank you so much for bringing our "First People" in on this subject. We can't afford to lose them.

This video should be shown to med students....teachers....school children and their parents ....and most certainly workers in care homes . Low carb down under educated me enough to not get diabetes when I realised I had all the symptoms. God bless you Dr Muecke and all the other specialists in the LCDU group. Gilly wife of Mark

I reversed pre-diabeties without ever knowing I had slipped into it. After going on a low carb diet I noticed that my vision became noticably clearer. I didn't know why, or if I was imagining it. But I learned later that fuzzy vision is a symptom of pre-diabeties. Really scary to realize the road I was on.

Having been blind since I was basically born, it's hard to imagine a world with sight for me. I might be able to detect some form of light but I'm not even sure if I can. I definitely don't see colour if I do see light. I have to be very close to it as well. I guess the only thing I could really compare it to would be going to bed with normal hearing and waking up with none. If that ever happened to me I would be afraid. Because then that would be two senses lost. Sometimes I find my blindness a blessing because people rely too much on site, to the point they may not even see if somethings gone bad, or if someone is lying. I can tell if somethings gone bad by either the smell or the feeling, and I can tell if someone's lying based on how they're speaking to me. I love that about myself.

Very clear presentation, packed with facts. Excellent. Thanks.

Truly one of the best and most straightforward lectures about diabetes i have seen. Thank you:)

Wonderful presentation thank you 👍🙏 we need to get this message out to help the younger generation 💕

What a thoroughly excellent lecture! Thank you Dr Muecke. So clearly articulated…and (relief!) no silly video or presenting “gimmicks” which (for me) often detract from some presentations and confound people like me seeking such vital, helpful knowledge and advice.

This was an amazing presentation. It's very sad that T2 diabetes can be reversed but patients aren't told about it.😐

James is legendary. In his own lifetime! So many easy to understand messages in this video/presentation. PERSONAL accountability - to learn, understand, choose - is vital.

Thank you for speaking the truth.

Excellent presentation on why we should all cut our processed carbs, sugar and seed oils.

Wonderful presentation. Everyone needs to hear this.

Thank You 🙏

An excellent talk. Very clear, pitched at the right level. It is a tough sell to most people to evangelise low carb real food but this guy gets it right. An education on public speaking from a sharp cookie.

Brilliant presentation.

First low-carb eating and now almost carnivore: it’s done wonders for my type 1 diabetes. I had many symptoms of type 2 as well. A1C as high as 10% on the American scale, now often under 5%. (About 86 down to under 31 mmol/mol) I have retinopathy in both eyes but it’s barely progressed of late. Cataracts have required both natural lenses to be replaced with artificial implants, probably related to too many years of high blood glucose. I was diagnosed type 1 in 1970.

Wonderful presentation!

This guy has a great voice. I could listen to him talk for hours.

I never thought blindness would happen so fast

TOFI to HOTI, love his new coined phrase. Thank you Dr and LCDU for these presentations.

Great summary love it

The carnivore diet is the real answer!

One of my 1st cousins went blind from her Type 2 Diabetes...and subsequently died from it in 2012 at 57 years old, as well. She was 18 months older than me, and left minor-aged children without a mother. That was far too young to die from a reversible condition!!!

Great talk! It would be so good for society if we could ditch the sugars, carbs and seed oils!

Thank you!

The good thing about Covid is a stumbled upon this type of video and they directed me to keto and carnivore and to reduce sugar and no HFCS

This channel is just awesome!!! Thanks for all contributers

The tragedy of this talk is it only has 850 likes. This is exactly how I got my lifelong friend to lose 85 pounds and CURE his type 2 diabetes. I said, man, remember when we got your dad's leg cut off? Remember when we got his other leg cut off? Remember when we buried him? Remember when you mom had unexplainable weight gain and gained 90 pounds of water in a couple months and then we buried her? Then I said, look, I'm not coming to read you books when you are blind, I'm not carting you around when you lose a leg. He heard me, he also WATCHED me lose 50 pounds in 5months on Keto. Today we are FREE!!! Still living and loving life! If none of this bothers you, or your a "Tofi" and think you are untouchable, just remember Type3 diabetes, Alzheimer's and dementia can get you with no other sugar addiction symptoms.

Thanks so much for this talk, what a great and passionate medical doctor, it makes me tears. As a medical doctor, we have to try our every effort to save these preventable blindness.

Powerful presentation. Outstanding!

Oh my goodness. This man is gorgeous to look at; and, of course, make so much sense regarding the diet. Yummmy. Who is that unfortunate woman sitting behind him??

One issue I have is the measurement of blood sugar, millimolar per littre. As science trained I understand mmol, but I have to calculate the grams per L. At 5 mmol/L that is 0.9 g/L of glucose in the blood, for the average person that is less than 5 g of sugar total in the blood. 2 teaspoons of sugar can potentially double the blood sugar. Using grams of glucose per litre rather than mmol per litre would give everone a clear indication of how little sugar should be eaten.

Absolutely outstanding lecture - thank you so much

I was able to regain my eyesight after I lost a portion of it over a period of time. I'll explain how. Ive been losing eyesight off and on for the past few years. I noticed that reading fine print became very difficult and at times my vision was very hazy especially in the morning and at night but eventually it would go away and my sight would return to normal. At the time that this all started, I was under a lot of stress, and not eating properly all the time. High stress can induce insulin resistance from the high cortisol that constantly strips protein from your muscles and turns it into glucose. The constant levels of glucose in the bloodstream is what triggers insulin resistance and leads to higher blood sugar levels and eventually nerve damage including optic nerve damage. About 2 years after the eyesight damage started, I began taking a supplemental compound that helps heal injured tissue, ligament, tendon and yes, bone. The compound is a peptide that professional athletes and sports medicine surgeon have been giving their patients after surgery to rapidly improve healing and its called "body protective compound 157" or "BPC-157" for short. I noticed that after taking a cycle of bpc-157, my eyesight would return to perfect clarity. There was no longer any need to use reading glasses. But then Id notice that overtime, my eyesight would flare up and then it would clear again. At the time, I made no connection to the bpc-157 and improved eyesight. Looking back, I also realized that not only stress, but certain foods made my eyesight far worse and they were coffee products, chocolate, especially alkalized chocolate powder and dairy products. Oddly, consuming added sugar alone never triggered eye problems although, I would think that it should. I've been doing extensive food elimination diets and tracking the results for a few years. When I avoid these food triggers in my diet, I dont experience vision degradation. I believe that the bpc-157 is working because it removes damaged tissue and stimulates healing by increasing growth hormone sensitivity at the receptor of the tissue, allowing for rapid healing. After we stop growing in our late teens to early 20s, growth hormone becomes the bodys "repair hormone" which is why bpc-157 works so well to repair injured tissue, tendon, ligament, bone and also damaged nerves. FYI, dont use bpc-157 directly in your eyes. From what Ive read, this can increase ocular pressure inside the eye which you don't want. I dont know if bpc-157 can work for recovering from severe vision loss. Maybe it can improve the condition? But it does work for recovering from minor vision loss in my experience.

A video that every doctor should get every new T2D patient to watch. I'm now scared shitless, I'm completely addicted to sugar and getting off it while being $ poor and time poor is proving almost impossible.

When i was eighteen i tried to bulk doing all kinds of wierd stuff but i still remember drinking protein shakes mixed with 1-2 dl of sunflower oil.The stomach pains where insane

Thank you so much! I’m ketovoire for nearly a year-to clear arthritis from accident and I don’t want my cataracts cut….getting better! I’m just heart broken over many of my senior friends, in pain, confused, falling over, deaf. I’ve got such negative reactions if I say, “…have you thought about changing your diet…?”….i just listen,……I found out the diet lie- hopefully they will too, is that ‘tough love’ ?🙏

This is pivotal.

Ketosis is like a lubricated playground slide for my weight. All I have to improve is sleep and avoid toxic people around me. I've done it once (-21kg) and I'm on my second attempt with a help of doctor (-8kg in the last 4 months).

Cheers More of those talks please. And thanks for this one..

Thankyou for caring!

Brilliant! We need more of these easy to understand uploads. It doesnt have to be complicated. Its not complicated. The message is blatantly obvious. Stop eating carbohydrates, and seed based oils. It is the answer. We should have huge taxes on all carbs, make them as expensive as tobacco and alcohol.

Thank you for this

If you're not type two great, but you are not free, you are most likely on your way, because of the sugar, trust me it is not easy, but when done OMG, you have to do it because I don't have the words to explain it, can be joyfully tearful is best I can do. Wonderful positive podcast thanks

It’s often claimed by diabetics and also by many doctors that it is genetic whereas it is that families eat the same unhealthy diet.

Thank you for another great lecture. Also, 22:50 Stress: Yeah looks like a form from the ATO

Xxxx a most relevant to me, excellently presented Pierce of work...GOOD JOB X N

I wonder when that man was in hospital having his amputated procedure what he was fed? I can imagine the high sugar slop was still on offer. Criminal

I was waiting in the Prince Charles Hospital for an ambulance the other day, and given biscuits (cookies) with my coffee by the nurse.

It's impossible to keep toddlers from eating sugar. I personally eat keto and always cook at home but toddler goes to daycare and they get "healthy coolies for toddlers" with only natural sugar which is still sugar. And she gets 0% fat "no sugar" yogurt drink and of course every other week some kid's birthday is a "small" piece of cake 😒 honestly it's like fighting the ocean tide. Even for lunchb they smear margarine on their bread.. Not to mention the packaging of these sugary treats are sooo attractive that if we go through the sweets isle in the supermarket my toddler is drawn to them like a magnet 😬 and it's getting harder and harder to limit the sugar intake the ilder they get. I can't imagine how we'll manage to keep her diet healthy when she goes to school

There's people ranting about sugar, and of course it is bad, but I didn't get a weight loss/health turn around until I cut right down on starch from grains. Only half the message is reaching people, and that won't do the trick.

A young cancer patient at one of the preeminent cancer centers in California was recently served soymilk, Raisin Bran, apple sauce, apple juice, orange juice, watermelon and grapes for breakfast. To make it even worse, they're vegan, so they're eating a steady diet of carbs and sugars all the time. It doesn't surprise me that their health is in decline--but no medical center or nutritionist should be colluding in this decline by serving such an execrable meal!

Brilliant

A great summation of the worldwide epidemic and the action plan needs universal support. Our political “leaders” who need to buy in will see their donor stream dry up.

I am told that the "Heart Association" will give their tick(s) of approval on the payment of significant amounts of money

Cut out all seed oils, sugars, carbs and processed foods. Eat plenty of meat with saturated fat and get lots of movement, sunshine, fresh air and good sleep. And eat once a day. Great metabolic human health comes from human behavior and that includes eating human food. It's that simple.

Here in America, the standard treatment of Type 2 could best be characterized as supervised neglect overseeing disease progression.

Big food and big pharmaceutical are not going to tolerate this - they won’t see their profits threatened by the people being fit and healthy.

Reasoning always sounds better with an Aussie accent.

T2D is a huge money spinner for big pharma

No problems then blind over night !

I'm surprised most of the fruit isn't circled as well on that Australia Healthy Eating chart.

When you feel anxious and depressed. EAT MEAT AND REPEAT🥩💪🏽🥓🍳

One of the biggest wake up lines in the lecture is that it takes about 13 years to get a diabetic diagnosis. In western societies, it is estimated that 80% of people are ostensibly undiagnosed diabetic. When blood sugars start spilling backwards into the blood, as the doctor said, you have been diabetic, maybe even up to 20 to 30 years with all the damage occurring. Anybody that’s a bit fat around the middle, is probably diabetic. And most western society adults aren’t just a bit fat they are grossly overweight. If you measure your height in inches and measure your waist, without lying, around your bellybutton divide your height into your waist, if it is above 0.5 you’re diabetic, or at least you should assume that you are and deal with it.

Can I share this video on my youtube page

Even things like vitamins are now made with soy, and soy oil. Even in Australia.

When my bp is high I can eat sweets and it will drop to a good area, is this because or cortisol is being reduced?

Doctors need to have group classes on nutrition for better health. Not one on one. My doctor said she doesn't have time to discuss this...15 minutes per patient

Correction: there is no vitamin D rays early in the morning. Need to hit it mid afternoon.

Some oncologists have bowls filled with candies at the reception counter

Recap by Tammy AI

Re: fructose Is it true that fruit juices are the main dietary problem here, whereas whole/raw fruit still has fiber to offset the effect? Which is advisable, to avoid only some whole fruits or all of them?

If this lecture doesn’t change how people eat, what will?

Good presentation but can’t the seating of those behind be better organised to be less disruptive.

I love a doctor that is actually losing business by helping patients get well. Hard to find a doc that gets it in the corrupt medical system. Kick the traditional system and do it yourself.

Great presentation but no mention of hyperinsulinemia

Looks like now all low carbon advocates agree seed oil is bad. But we have foods that are labelled as keto friendly that is filled with seed oils.

I am not buying that less processed grains are better. It is still all glucose whether it has a bit of wheat germ or or bran or not. Doctors repeating it over and over doesn't make it true. Sure, processed food makes it easier to eat more glucose, fructose and seed oil but it isn't much better if you cook similar foods at home.

Actually break*fast IS the most important meal of the day, bcz if you never break your fast, you eventually die of starvation. Very clever marketing though. I have very fond memories of the Sesame Street song by fun puppets about breakfast. The low fat diet trashed my health by 2019, and very low carb fixed almost everything. I would have died without low carb or insulin injections etc. I chose a radically different diet instead of any meds or surgeries. To my shock, 3 days after going KETO, I didn't need help to get up onto my feet & walking, still very painful feet from 15 worsening years of Plantar fasciitis, but then at 3 weeks the pain COMPLETELY STOPPED!!! Unreal. It was starch/fruit/sugar causing all that pain!!! My podiatrist never mentioned the dangers of starch/fruit/sugar for foot health.

The poor geese are tortured to make their livers fatty. Think about that when ordering.

People want to believe what they want to believe, truth is the matter of opinion in their perspective, that's the reason even people have diabetes that aren't wiling to give up high carbs diet.

Wake up and see - You need to quit the carbs

It isn't government allowing predatory advertising... it is government facilitating it by shielding them from legal liabilities... such practices would not be tolerated in the Free Market... the liabilities would make it not cost effective in the long run.

Sugar blinds Sugar tortures Sugar destroys the mind Sugar kills Unsurprisingly the four horsemen of the apocalypse are the phases of sugar addiction. Euphoric white light Physical pain Mental health Death. The pale horse I thought was for sugar and refined flour is actually green. Gangrene . However the first horse is the first experience with sugar. Then it goes down hill on roller skates. Do you have a bumper sticker? This is a big problem with a simple introduction.

If nutrition was required in medical school the doctors-in-waiting most likely would be taught the Dietary Guidelines.

Then the world, or the Japanese invented High Fructose Corn Syrup, (wonderful stuff) and things just got worse in America because it was cheaper than ever and corn grows everywhere.
