Ms. Erin Chamerlik is my featured guest for today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast. Ms. Chamerlik is host of A talk-radio show, “Get Better Wellness.” She is going to talk about “Holistic Nutrition.” While I have continued to share my messages with many of you here that diabetes mellitus is a preventable disease, which is detrimental to whomever became one of the victims and would squeal, “Why me? Why me!” However, I have also learned that many of you may not believe that you would ever become a diabetic, because you were healthy and invincible and could eat anything, which contains sugars and high amount of carbohydrates. But, I want you to understand that those who are diabetics now were used to be healthy and not believe that they would become diabetics one day. And, unfortunately, they had. However, if a diabetic victim would carefully restrict carbohydrate foods, he might have the chance to reverse the progression of his diabetes mellitus, although I am not talking about a chance of curing his diabetes mellitus. Ms. Chamerlik, a reversed diabetic, is interested in helping others reverse the course of diabetes mellitus. She interviewed me on her radio show on October 17, 2011, for reversing diabetes mellitus. Today, she is going to continue our discussion “holistic nutrition.” I bet that you want to know more about that too. Let us tune in and start the show now! Link for Ms. Erin Chamerlik’s website

In today’s episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast, I have Mr. Steve Shoulberg and Dr. James Carlson as my special guests to discuss “Carbohydrate Restriction as A Modality Under the Standard of Care.” As we have seen more people are getting heavier, becoming diabetics, and suffering various diseases during the recent decades, many more of us are trying to avoid falling victims to or to recover from such a health hazard by switching to carbohydrate-restricted diet. An increasing number of physicians has also become aware of the erroneous teachings in the relationship between carbohydrate consumption and its ill impacts on their patients’ health, and wish to incorporate carbohydrate restriction as a modality in their practice. However, physicians are concerned about how this new modality is treated under the standard of care. On November 29, 2011, the Center of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that it would cover a year’s worth of obesity counseling for Medicare patients. In the wake of such a meaningful initiative by the CMS, the need of clarifying is more pressing than ever that how physicians can incorporate the carbohydrate restriction approach into their practice for helping their patients for weight loss and restoring their patients’ health. Mr. Shoulberg’s legal expertise and Dr. Carlson’s comments should be very educational for all of us, both the lay public and the physician alike. Let’s tune in and listen to this rare podcast episode. References for Mr. Shoulberg’s interview; 1. Medical Liability in a Nutshell (West Publishing) Marcia Boumil 2.

My interview on my last podcast, Episode 75, with Mr. Ian and Mrs. Jennifer Eloff for their work on a new cookbook, Low Carbing Among Friends, has received a very enthusiastic response from many of you. Today, I have the four coauthors of the cookbook, Mr. Kent Altena, Ms. Maria Emmerich, Ms. Caroline Ketchum, and Ms. Lisa Marshall, as my featured guests. I wrote my book, Carbohydrates Can Kill, only after I had successfully lost weight and observed improvements in various aspects of my health, as well as “unearthed” more than a thousand of scientific literatures that all point out the detrimental health impacts of carbohydrates. As you may suspect, many authors of cookbooks must have some personal experience and interest that motivate them to explore and write recipes. To no exception, each of these four coauthors has their own individual encounters and want to share with you the results of their exploration in creating delicious dishes while in carbohydrate restriction. I have had the opportunity of peeking into this cookbook and feel I am greatly honored to have them on this show. I am anxious to learn more about their personal stories in related to carbohydrate restriction. Their stories should help all of us reiterate the reason or reasons that we have for adopting the dietary style of low-carbing. I bet you too want to listen to them now!

Today, I have an interesting couple, Mr. Ian and Mrs. Jennifer Eloff, as the featured guests of today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Show. Mrs. Eloff is a regular blogger and author of seven cookbooks with three best sellers. Mr. Eloff is an information technology specialist-turned publisher. I have been sharing my knowledge in carbohydrate restriction with you and my professional and social circles, many people would come to me and ask if I have a recipe or two for sharing with them. I surely have a few, which I can readily give out. However, I always wish that I have many more in my collection. I also realize that my like is not necessarily someone else’s. Therefore, I need of a well of lots of recipes to choose from for people who have different taste. Mrs. Eloff and four recipe writers have joined in writing a cookbook in combining the specialties of each of them. Mr. Eloff as a publisher is certainly fits well among these five talents. Today, I am going to ask Mr. and Mrs. Eloff about what the motivation is to drive them doing such an unusual and brilliant work. I am sure that the six individual’s stories will be your driving force in adopting the low-carb dietary style.

Sharing the observed results with others helps us piece the puzzle of diet and health together. In that direction, I have always enjoyed the Listener’s Roundtable Discussion with my guests who would bring me lots of initiatives and outcomes that could be impossible for my to learn by myself. All of my guests today have promised that they were going to talk about something very interesting. You are anxious to find out what they are going to talk about, right?

Dr. Uffe Ravnskov is my featured guest of today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast Show. During the recent decades, cholesterol has become a household name. Everyone is talking about how much his cholesterol is, how much his bad cholesterols are, and how much his good cholesterols are. Everyone is worried about his risk of atherosclerosis, which affects all arteries including those of the heart, neck, brain, aorta, and others. Most of them understands that atherosclerosis is a disease with cholesterol deposit on the vascular wall. With that understanding, they want to make sure their cholesterol numbers are lower. Otherwise, their physicians would definitely go after them for prescribing with Statins. But, wait. Is it true that you have a high cholesterol number means you are having a high risk of cardiovascular diseases? I know you would like to know the answer, and want to have it now! Dr. Ravnskov is an internist specialized in kidney disease (nephrology), and a vast knowledge in cholesterol and its related issues. Of course, he is the best person, from whom you would want to learn the answer to you question. What are we waiting for? Let’s start our interview now and hear what Dr. Ravnskov will tell us about cholesterol. Website: The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics (http://www.thincs.org/) Books: 1.

On today’s episode of The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast, I have Ms. Jill Escher and Ms. Darlene Kvist as my featured guests. Darlene Kvist In my weekly blog article, “Carbohydrate Addiction”, published on October 24, 2011, I pointed out the potential addiction of carbohydrate foods, especially those of which high in glycemic indices and glycemic loads. Among these foods, sugar is the most dangerous. I have seen many people and their physicians have failed to recognize such disastrous health impact, which is a result of hyperglycemia. These people and their physicians continue to allow the addicts to feed themselves with many carbohydrate foods, especially sugars, for extending the vicious cycle of addiction. When sugar addiction happens in children who have no knowledge about food choice, their parents’ must be equipped with sound judgment in selecting healthy foods for the children. As the traditional Halloween festivity is approaching, we all should be vigilant in preventing ourselves but also our children from suffering with sugar addiction. Jill Escher Ms. Escher is the organizer of a campaign, the first “Sugar Addiction Awareness Day October 30, 2011.” She is a former sugar addict and has been actively helping prevent others from falling into the same trap, from which she has successfully escaped with lots of efforts. Ms. Kvist is a nutritionist who joins Ms. Escher in this important movement with her enormous knowledge in carbohydrate addiction. I am very anxious to learn more from both of them about sugar addiction. I trust you too want to hear what they are going to share with us. Let us start our interview now!

Ms. Kimberly Hartke is my featured guest for today’s Carbohydares Can Kill Podcast Show. Ms. Hartke is a publicist at The Weston A. Price Foundation. With her personal use of fresh farm products including raw milk, Ms. Hartke has been working very hard for protecting the individual’s rights in purchasing farm products directly from local, small farmers. Because of the politics, many small, privately owned farms are forced to close their businesses, under the laws and regulations lobbied by the financially powerful, large farming corporations. Most of us have not been aware of these laws and regulations, until such time when we are unable to purchase farm product from our local farmer. Some of these laws and regulations may be enacted in good intention for protecting the public’s interest. However, some of these laws and regulations may be enacted as a result of protecting the interest of the powerful farming corporations, and deny the individual’s rights in free commerce. Admittedly, I, like you, am unfamiliar with the issues surrounding these laws and regulations, which govern our local, small farmers and our rights in free commerce. Please join me and tune in now to hear what Ms. Hartke will share with us her knowledge in these issues. Website: The Campaign for Real Milk This page is sponsored by:

It is my honor to have Mr. Fred Hahn come back to a special podcast series of Carbohydrates Can Kill Show on Geriatric Medicine: strength Training and Seniors. This episode is the last of the special series. While it is true that studies have shown exercise is not prerequisite for weight loss with the carbohydrate-restricted diet. However, evidences have shown that proper exercise would help utilize blood glucose and lower the blood glucose level, which is important not in the efforts of losing weight but is also critical in reducing the risks of developing diseases such as, but not limited to, diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis, hypertension, and et cetera. Besides, only through exercise, one can keep his physical condition especially his muscles and their strength at the optimum.  This is particularly true in the case with the geriatric population. Mr. Hahn is an expert in physical training who has a great knowledge in helping people especially seniors reshape their body. I am excited about this great opportunity of learning from him about how we should strengthen our body. I bet you are also interested in hearing from Mr. Hahn about strength training. Please tune in now and listen to this informative interview.   Mr. Fred Hahn: www.seriousstrength.com

Welcome to the Carbohydrates Can Kill Show. Today Dr. Su is joined by Michael Fox, MD as they discuss the effect of carbohydrate consumption on women’s health issues, particularly in regards to PMS, Menopause and post-menopause. While addressing the importance of men’s health concerning prostate cancer, women’s health is also one of the foci of this special series on geriatric medicine. Of course, gynecological problems are the diseases, about which the female geriatric population is most concerned. These gynecological diseases include cancers of the female reproductive system. Apparently, there is a line, with which we can unquestionably draw separate the women who need obstetric care in addition to gynecological care from the women who no longer need obstetric care. Notably, both obstetric and gynecological disorders involve the same organs – the reproductive system, there is a link between the diseases of the two subspecialties – obstetrics and gynecology. We have known how carbohydrates, especially in excess consumption, affect the obstetrical health. Links between carbohydrates and the gynecological disorders are highly possible. Dr. Fox, a obstetrician/gynecologist, who specialized in reproductive endocrinology and infertilities, is the right expert for this special topic, Geriatric Gynecology and Carbohydrate Consumption. I am very excited about this interview. And, I bet you are too. Let us go ahead to tune in for this informative discussion now! The best website is Jacksonville Center For Reproductive Medicine    

Stephen J. Freedland, M.D. is my special guest of today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Show for the fourth episode of a special podcast series on Geriatric Medicine. Dr. Freedland is associate professor of surgery and pathology, Duke University School of Medicine. One of his special research interests is prostate cancer, in addition to obesity, nutrition, and diet. As one of the well publicized cancers for men, prostate cancer had invaded 217,730 males in 2010, and took away 32,050 lives. It was more than one out 10 patients with this notorious cancer lost his fight. Besides, prostate cancer does not only happen in the elder population, but is also found in the younger males. Of the total number of patients with prostate cancer in 2010, 0.6% were found in males between 35 and 44 years of age, 9.1% in males between 45 and 54, 30.7% in males between 55 and 64, and 35.3% in males between 65 and 74. Only 19.9% were found in the males aged between 75 and 84 years, and 4.4% were 84 years and older. Although we still do not know the etiology of prostate cancer, Dr. Freedland has worked very hard at both the laboratory and clinic in hope that we can prevent and/or curing prostate cancer. Dr. Freedland is here to share the findings of his researches with you and me. Let’s tune in to this very informative interview. Website: Dr. Freedland’s Bio (Duke.edu)

Today, I have Scott Mendelson, M.D., Ph.D. as my featured guest on the Carbohydrates Can Kill podcast Show to discuss Geriatric Medicine on Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is one of the well-publicized mental disorders involving the geriatric population. We all realize it is both mentally and financially detrimental to both the Alzheimer’s patient and his family. It is not only important for us to find effective treatment(s) for the disease, but also critical for us to understand the cause of this disaster and its prevention. Unfortunately, up to date, there is not an acceptable chemical or drug treatment for the patients. However, it is my knowledge that restricting carbohydrate foods should have a positive impact on managing or treating the disease, especially when the patients take in middle-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Dr. Medelson is a psychiatrist who has published a book with topics on Alzheimer’s disease and metabolic syndrome. The latter is an important issue related to diabetes mellitus, or, more specifically, to hyperglycemia. Are not you curious about what Dr. Mendelson is going to tell us about this disease? Yes, I am sure you are. So, let’s tune in for this interesting interview now! Beyond Alzheimer’s: How to Avoid the Modern Epidemic of Dementia (Amazon)
