Life Carbohydrates and inflammation - Page 8

I’ve heard a couple different places now that eliminating carbohydrates from your diet can help eliminate inflammation.

As Lewdog (very douchtacullarly) pointed out, I have arthritis. I’m wondering if eliminating carbohydrates will eliminate some inflammation. Anymore I have no idea what the **** is based in science and what is hippie bullshit. This kind of sounds like the latter, at least in my head.

It’s not something I’m super excited about, but would be willing to consider if there is a science-based good probability of materially affecting the inflammation.

Well, there's that... I probably missed lewdog's reference/hyperbole. I think the OP's original question was rational enough to not be in the same boat as "flush teh toxins!!!"

The little bit I've read on inflammation made it seem like relatively new research and unknown (but, that was like one thing I read), as far as low-level inflammation and possible issues that arise from it.

I was doing keto before it was cool, I don't want to be associated with the next outrageous diet fad...

After three weeks I had a blind episode while driving and severe dizzines,panic attacks, anxiety, head pain, eyeball pain . didn't think about it being side affects until I went to refill my medication and they said it had been recalled.

After investigating I found the medication had been contaminated with a known carcinogen and looking up the side effects all my symptoms were listed.

I made up my mind right then I was done with this shit. I cut out ALL CARBS except what I get in a salad. I've now lost 20 pounds in two plus weeks and my blood pressure is right where it's supposed to be.

I'm on no meds now and feel better than I've felt in years.

I had been on blood pressure meds for 25 years.

Good for you. Those AMA docs are all just pushers for the drug companies. Im pushing 60 and on zero meds. Fug those guys.
