It’s only my story and my route to health everyone needs to work out their own solutions, already had a bit of abuse from the trolls on the Facebook group which is to be expected 😮
These trolls clearly don't know human history, the cultivation of crops(wheat,corn potatoes etc) is only about 12,000 years old. Modern humans are between 200 - 300,000 years old and predominantly calories would have come from hunted meat and the fat from it. I'd love to try this but can't eat dairy or pork so it would have to be mainly beef(poultry is not fatty enough)and eggs.
You will find the negative comments, most are AI auto bot generated. Fakebook is a rife with it. You're going against the doctrinal dogma. I've seen this everywhere on social media... fb is the worst. The negatory towards you is a psychological game play to shut you down and make you give up yourself promotional positive experience. The best you can do is block each fake profile as they come. Keep going, and dont let them get to you.. always remember most are fake ai bots.
I can only speak for myself, I’am 71, 74kilos, 6 foot average build. I keep away from processed foods, only eat fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts, berry’s, 90% cocoa just one small portion a day, once a fortnight steak or beef. Chicken, fish twice a week, rice, 5 eggs a week, oatmeal 3 times a week, rice, sourdough bread or whole meal bread, butter. One black coffee 2 green teas a day. I take no medication, sometimes zinc, cod liver oil and magnesium occasionally, no alcohol or any smoking. Lots of exercise, 3K runs twice a week, swim laps, play badminton, loads of walking. Try and get 7 or 8 hours sleep, meditation a little yoga, weights in the gym once a week. Sometimes miss breakfast. It’s not a diet it’s a lifestyle. Plus a good relationship with a very traditional Thai lady who cooks amazing meals, life is good! 😊
Don't accept sugar or any food or drink that converts and feeds your body with sugar. Eat as many eggs and as much meat as you want, you'll be much more healthy.
I had a medical with my GP 1 year ago and was told the usual...high BP....pre diabetic...need to go on meds.My response was NO...I cut down on carbs and only ate between 0900 and 1700.Had another medical 3 months later and 12kg lighter and all was good.I went to Thailand for 2 months eating rice every day and went back inti the danger zone..... Now back in UK and back on track..
Have been doing carnivore/ keto since early 2019. Never even had a common cold once over this period. Our ancestors have been eating this way for 300 000 years. Hunt, eat, then fast until the next kill . Occasionally eating berries or the like if available. Eskimos have thrived on only fish and blubber for eternity. A' meat only' diet is thus inherently the most natural way to live and couldn't be healthier.
here is some interesting information , trainee Doctors studying to become qualified over a 4-5 year period , recieve less than 1 months training on the subject of Nutrition !!!! So if you bother to educate yourself by reading, trying new health approaches & joining common groups of interest , you will be so educated in comparison to most doctors when it come to nutrition , that you will be able to educate them !!! Example …… u want to invest in real estate then find an accountant that also invests in real estate . The same applies to a good Doctor to care for your body & offer advice , one that has a full understanding of Nutrition & Lifestyle . Not some stranger that opens his Big Pharma bible & picks a drug that might work or might kill you …..
I had a conversation just last night with a mate of mine who is back in the UK. His son has recently qualified to become a doctor. I asked him out of those 5 years of intense studying, how much of that time was spent looking at nutrition and preventative natural medicine. The answer; Nutrition... 2 lectures = 4 hours maximum. Preventative and natural medicine... None. You only need to Google; HOW JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER INFLUENCED MODERN MEDICINE Then you'll understand.
I've been on the carnivore diet for 2.5 years. Previously high blood pressure and diabetes. My staples are butter, eggs, beef, and fish. Not even spices for me. I lost 30 lbs in the first 2 months. Everything he said was spot-on. The carnivore diet is not a restrictive diet. Eat as much as you want. Im naturally on the OMAD diet without being hungry, and it has given me freedom in my life.
Well done Dave and you are so right about the insulin levels. I am 65 and do the 16 and 8 fast for 4 or 5 days a week. I am no longer diabetic and my cholesterol is at a lifetime low. I have the genetic cholesterol condition and doctors told me that I would never be able come off statins.
I am loving every comment that I am reading regarding others who have discovered the truth, and what is possible without medication. Stick with it, and stick with us... Looks like we might have a bit of a new movement happening here 😉🙂 Well done Ben
Genetics play a large part in this as does your physical condition lifestyle and your internal gut biome. It will not be suitable for everyone. If it works for you then great just make sure you get regular bloods done to check your overall health stats. As we age many of our problems are related to slowing down in life, especially when we retire. Key is a healthy diet and getting regular cardio and strength exercise. Training to strengthen your balance muscles is especially important especially as muscles loose size and strength in the normal aging process.
Personally do water & sea salt fasts 4 days of the month. For me ,abstaining from caffeine allows both body and mind a chance to relax and thus detoxify. Worth giving it a try 🙂
Awesome video everyone, David, thank you for sharing your journey, information and transformation. Everyone should think about, invest and take action with their own health. Looking forward to the upcoming in-depth interview. 🙏👍
Our pleasure! Next interview will be with our mate David Lee and after seeing the amount of interest in this subject, we'll be adding a little more every now and then.
@ThailandSights what an inspiration, congratulations on your health outcomes. It's one thing to know something, it's another to practise it. Will most certainly look into this topic further. Once again congratulations
Thanks for the comment if your eating optimally a two or three day fast would be easy as your body will just use your stored fat if you can’t do it through extreme hunger you are craving sugar/carbs
Thanks for sharing! Dave has hit the nail with his journey with Autofogy. It starts slowly even after 18 Hours of fasting, and has it's peak at 72 Hours. So you really do not need to fast longer than 72 Hours at the time, but it surely don't hurt to prolong the fast a day or so longer either as long as you feel well. That means that you reach Autofogy with one(OMAD) og two meals a day. And only eat clean real food like meat, fish, eggs and so on and NO supplements what so ever... And it don't hurt to add Garlic, Broccoly sprouts and leafy greens to the diet.
@@ThailandSights I agreed. But the reason could also be that the body is not in Ketosis yet. Because to be in Ketosis helps a lot in my experience. But we are all different and react differently to different approach to fasting. And that means we have optons if one way to do it fails, we can try a different way until we succeed.
Thanks for the video and advice. Last year, I lived in the Jomtien area for 6 months and my monthly budget was $3K and that's with companionship with a regular Thai lady for 3x a week without buying any LDs and barfines. I did not eat any western food due way more expensive and been eating Thai food in the market. In my early 50's now, I was planning to retire but I changed my mind in the very last second and back to work again in CA, started from scratch. Will do this again, next year.
I have a similar story. I'm currently early stage carnivore and feeling much better. They are lying to us, and the plandemic opened everyone's eyes. Well those that are looking.
I'm not so sure it "isn't promoted." I mean, for diabetes/blood pressure/etc. issues the first advice out of Doctors' mouths is lose some weight and get regular exercise. Then they write you the prescriptions that you'll be on "forever" because pretty much nobody does the lose weight and exercise bit. Good on you for doing the lifestyle changes (seriously, I really mean it. Great job!), but don't act like the medical community is keeping it a secret because there's no money in it or whatever. The sad truth is, people are lazy and Doctors know it. Given the choice between lifestyle changes and just popping a couple pills a day, most people opt for the easy way.
This. It's funny how people endulge in food, cigarettes and alcohol and then complain they become dependend on medication. Like buddy, you brought yourself into that situation in the first place. Big pharma is actually what's keeping you alive.
@@wijn1008 That part. I got diagnosed with high blood sugar once and I made huge lifestyle changes, lost weight, and my vital signs all normalized. Most people who "need" insulin are type 2 and could manage it with diet and exercise, but almost everyone refuses. My doctor was shocked I took them seriously and made changes, they said I was one of the only patients they'd ever had who turned things around after a bad blood test result.
@@anna-xz9yj Well done! I wish I had more patients like you. But most of my patients just want to eat pie and sit on their ass so we have to up their insulines.
@@anna-xz9yj Any easy test is to try fasting for two or three days if you cannot do it easily then your probably addicted to sugar/carbs as soon as your body burns all its glucose store it would normally burn the stored fat naturally, but if you find yourself starving after just a day something is wrong.
@davehobwest Talking with Dave in this interview, he says about a qualified doctor admitting that alternatives to what is seen as 'standard practice medicine', is not recommended as "There is no money in it". My family doctor back in the UK when giving advice about a child with Ulcerative Colitis, said the best thing to do would be to visit a Homeopathic Doctor, based in Glasgow, Scotland and gave us his number. The family doctor asked us not to mention this to anyone else in the surgery as it could jeopardise his standing in the practice. There is a definite bias against "natural" or "alternative medicine".
The problem as we get old, there is a point we cross losing wight wise, that makes our face looks like 90.... If I get down to six pack lean, which I did in my 50's, my face looks like 80... so I am trying to be 15 pounds above six pack lean and looks my age.... health wise should be the same
Pretty simple for me...its the math...want to gain weight...increase calories...want to lose weight decrease calories...and if you cant stop eating your favorite foods then add exercise to your day because in the end of the day its about losing calories before or after consumed...
@@TheIsaanFarang of course there's countless variables...but give me someone who reduces their caloric intake and ill give you someone whose losing weight...lol
My Doctor never once mentioned the effects that Insulin has on the body he was only interested in blood sugar and the reduction with medication. He never mentioned that a reduction in carbohydrates will reduce blood sugar and Insulin. With elevated insulin you cannot loose weight as one of the main purposes of Insulin is to store energy. By prescribing me Metformin for over 20 years I did not realise that it was only treating the effects of a bad diet. Over a long time of researching this subject it is more about hormones and the effects of foods on the body more so than just calories in and calories out 80% of Americans are overweight I just used Americans I saw some figures somewhere and it is not their fault as the Standard American Diet recommended carbs as the largest proportion of your daily intake.
that is a fantasic video love it my friend here in canada is doing this he said its great i am going to give this a try as well thank you so much for doing this video its great to get the word out i love your videos been watching you stuff for a long time keep up the good work i love you both take care always
These people who are super health conscious but are too lazy to exercise baffle me. Listen to Dr Vonda Right on the recent podcast of diary of a CEO. If these folks had bothered to exercise, they perhaps wouldn't need these extreme diets in thier twilight years. All imho!
Good point John, but hindsight is no good. Lets take the situation as it is, that someone decides today to improve on their health. It can be done. I know Dave Ossie really well. He was in a bad way for many years. Something ignited him to do something about it. He did, and without exercise, he has turned his life around. Now that he is in better shape, he is starting to get into exercise.
It doesn't matter where you live if eat crap then crap happens. Never understood these farangs who come here and want to eat steaks and pies and corn flakes. Abundance of natural fresh ingredients in every market or store. Okay a sausage or 2 here or there doesn't matter. Also a decent diet combined with exercise is even better. I do 4/5km walk every morning and a few hours in the garden. Makes a world of difference. Appreciate not everyone is lucky with their health..🤗🙏
Freedom of choice to eat whatever you want, wherever you are is down to the individual, but there is some great information available to help improve your life.
The heat helps to suppress the appetite Jerry, but many westerners don't switch to a Thai diet. They will opt for the western food that is readily available.
@@kev12364 I understand that that part of their culture as well. My wife is Thai as well who hates sweets. So, it makes it easier for me to avoid them as well! Even though sometimes I sneak it in. 😂
Will be going over the calcium subject soon Harry. In the meantime, please watch this video. It explains perfectly how many of us are unaware of something we may have, that needs to be addressed immediately. th-cam.com/video/NSPcuGjstN4/w-d-xo.html
Dave, i wish to congratulate you as you look great and you are very right about your diet. Kevin, My fiance' lives in Udon Thani and she has been to Canada three times now. I have been in the process of relocating there. She has her own beautiful home there and i am a Doctor but leaving my practice. She is only 39, never been married and has no children. I am 56 and i also have no children but a Widower. I wish to ask you Keven how much does it cost for health insurance there ?? Regards, Shannon
I'm in pretty good shape with just a couple of things that I went through in the distant past. Mine costs about 6,500 per qtr and I have a 40,000 excess on any claim. I took the policy out when I was 59 years old.
Great effort mate. Everyone needs to find what works for them and you certainly have. I’ve been practicing intermittent fasting for a few years 16-20hrs no food daily. I feel fresh, alert and don’t have an problem working out on an empty stomach. During my eating time I eat healthy but have whatever I feel like. I’m not giving up Vegemite toast and a cold beer.
I would never eliminate carbohydrates from my diet, but try to include those that have some positive benefits - so more berries, fruits and vegetables, and less cakes, biscuits and bread (I take but minimise). To eliminate these foods and focus only on meat and dairy will increase your risk of cancer and heart disease.
Depends on where you get your information from. Pook and I still eat fruit and vegetables, but not so sure about the increased risk. There is a guy who was interviewed on the Dr Berg TH-cam channel who was sent home from hospital with stage 4 cancer. Cured himself mainly through fasting and a carnivore diet. Thanks for your input 👍
@@TheIsaanFarang How many did something similar ... and then died? Science is backed by evidence, not anecdotes. You're welcome, I comment because I think views expressed in the video shouldn't be accepted as scientific fact.
Well Kev your never going to beleave this, such a small world we live in, every interesting video by the way, I got chatting to Dave after watching this video and we discovered we both worked at the same place doing pretty much the same job, yet we never met while he was working there, pretty incredible, not only do you give great content, your building a network of people meeting each other!🙂
How strange is that Steve. Many call it "The Law Of The Universe" Some will scoff, but with all that has happened to me, I'm a strong believer. All the best mate.
Fantastic episode. Carnevore works. You don't have to suffer. Ribeye every day is not to bad. And it is absolutely true that big pharma wants you sick. Greed. Cudos to you for spreading the message. BTW, my wife is from the Khemmarat area.I love it there. You made my day. Keep enjoying life❤
I first became interested in this type of eating after watching the Netflix series “Alone” which is basically a starvation game played out in the wilderness. One of the contestants killed a Moose and I just assumed that he would outlast everyone that season. He even rendered most of the fat from the meat and was eating that, but he could not stop dropping weight and was pulled from the competition by the doctors. Dave is right about getting over the tipping point to where the body starts to metabolize fat stores is the key.
Over age 50 one things for sure get a 6 month PSA blood and prostate exam done ,, there are many many men with zero ZERO prostate symptoms walking around with a ticking time bomb running away inside them ,,,, get it done !
Cor blimey mate never knew that , sorry it was just an observation ,, btw I have a mate still going still smoking at 80 odd years on one lung , other one removed over 30 odd years ago
The reason you put on weight after fasting is that you were gaining muscle and losing fat with daily movements as light exercise. Protein is tied to testosterone and muscle. You were on an athlete's diet without you realizing it. Enjoy!
Please don’t get into the blame game thing, as a doctor I get pissed off when people accuse me of not doing enough we are just trying to help people as a profession
You have to understand why people are starting to question the drive behind what big pharma have been doing for so long with the help of the medical profession. The son of a good friend of mine has just qualified as a doctor in the UK. I asked him how much of his 5 years of hard work and study was spent looking at nutrition and natural remedies. His answer; 2 lectures (max 4 hours) on nutrition, NOTHING on natural remedies. Listen to the interview and what Dave was told by his doctor, 20 years ago. He told Dave that he would be taking tablets for diabetes and blood pressure for the rest of his life. A bit of research, and Dave cured himself. No more medication = no more profit for the drug company. Where and when did you study?
Good luck trying fasting if you live with your Thai girlfriend. Pook must be one of a kind, Dave. Those girls "geen kao" every 2 hours, god knows where they put it, but nothing gets between a Thai girl and her food. 😄
typical farrang vid ,don't agree with a lot but some made sense . I'm from London also ,been here 23 years and yes ,I'm not fat also . Walk my muts every morning ,average trip around 6 or 7 km ,which keeps me out of the 'wat' for the time being . keeps me being cremated . Why not mention the health care here ,it's wonderful and if your ailment is outside the basic Thai NHS available the cost will be minimal . Health insurance a waste of time in my view but up to each individual ,if you've got the dosh then pay when needed
It’s only my story and my route to health everyone needs to work out their own solutions, already had a bit of abuse from the trolls on the Facebook group which is to be expected 😮
Will always get a few Dave.

I'd love to try this but can't eat dairy or pork so it would have to be mainly beef(poultry is not fatty enough)and eggs.

Watch Doctor Anthony Chaffee he talks about cholesterol and says he does not even monitor it anymore
Just came off a 48 hr fast last night . Lost 2kg lol . Not why I did it . Just did it for a detox .
Love hearing these stories, well done.
Genetics play a large part in this as does your physical condition lifestyle and your internal gut biome. It will not be suitable for everyone. If it works for you then great just make sure you get regular bloods done to check your overall health stats. As we age many of our problems are related to slowing down in life, especially when we retire. Key is a healthy diet and getting regular cardio and strength exercise. Training to strengthen your balance muscles is especially important especially as muscles loose size and strength in the normal aging process.
Personally do water & sea salt fasts 4 days of the month.
For me ,abstaining from caffeine allows both body and mind a chance to relax and thus detoxify.
Worth giving it a try 🙂

Over a long time of researching this subject it is more about hormones and the effects of foods on the body more so than just calories in and calories out 80% of Americans are overweight I just used Americans I saw some figures somewhere and it is not their fault as the Standard American Diet recommended carbs as the largest proportion of your daily intake.
Well done guys 👍
Five day fast ? Does it only involve fluids ?
When Pook and I do any fasts, we only have water, black coffee, green tea and Apple Cider Vinegar for the duration.
@@TheIsaanFarang it’s a very interesting video mate and I’m very impressed with the results achieved by Dave. I’m going to give it a go.
that is a fantasic video love it my friend here in canada is doing this he said its great i am going to give this a try as well thank you so much for doing this video its great to get the word out i love your videos been watching you stuff for a long time keep up the good work i love you both take care always
Thank you Lloyd and good luck 👍
I cant open the link to Dave's channel
Click my little picture here should take you to my channel

Should be okay now Steven
These people who are super health conscious but are too lazy to exercise baffle me. Listen to Dr Vonda Right on the recent podcast of diary of a CEO. If these folks had bothered to exercise, they perhaps wouldn't need these extreme diets in thier twilight years. All imho!
Good point John, but hindsight is no good.
Lets take the situation as it is, that someone decides today to improve on their health.
It can be done.
I know Dave Ossie really well. He was in a bad way for many years.
Something ignited him to do something about it. He did, and without exercise, he has turned his life around.
Now that he is in better shape, he is starting to get into exercise.
That link for Dave doesn’t work. Spelling error maybe?

Have just fixed it Justin.
Thanks for pointing it out 👍
Thanks mate
It doesn't matter where you live if eat crap then crap happens.
Never understood these farangs who come here and want to eat steaks and pies and corn flakes.
Abundance of natural fresh ingredients in every market or store.
Okay a sausage or 2 here or there doesn't matter.
Also a decent diet combined with exercise is even better.
I do 4/5km walk every morning and a few hours in the garden.
Makes a world of difference.
Appreciate not everyone is lucky with their health..🤗🙏
Freedom of choice to eat whatever you want, wherever you are is down to the individual, but there is some great information available to help improve your life.
I stayed in Khemmarat, back in 2017 - did a farm stay - nice to see ya'll had good visit
Great place
I was exactly the same got told in2007 I had type 2 diabetes I was 110 kgs followed a strict diet I am now 72 kgs I did that by myself
Thanks for sharing John.
So pleased that you have seen things for what they are and now turned your life around.
Well done.
I’m sure the food in Thailand was a factor as well! Soooo much better than the U.S.! Call me crazy, but there is a big difference!
The heat helps to suppress the appetite Jerry, but many westerners don't switch to a Thai diet. They will opt for the western food that is readily available.
My wife is Thai, and she never eat Thai street food, a lot of food here in Thailand is very unhealthy, and get many Thai people with diabetes.
@@TheIsaanFarangFor me personally, I have embraced the Thai culture with open arms! I eat tons of vegetables when we go are there.
@@kev12364 I understand that that part of their culture as well. My wife is Thai as well who hates sweets. So, it makes it easier for me to avoid them as well! Even though sometimes I sneak it in. 😂
I forgot to say thank you all for sharing your personal experiences and stories with us! Very cool!😊
Thank you what a great video and a big thanks to Dave, all the best Ray.
So your mission now Ray is to go around all the the green hut cab shelters and spread the word... Good luck 😄
@@TheIsaanFarang 😂👍
Thank you 🙏🏻
Ask Jeremy clarkson what he’s now allowed to eat or not eat ….. so confusing
I wouldn't listen to a word that bloke says.
Just watching him trying to climb in or out of any low slung car shows how unhealthy he is 😉😄
Can't wait to hear about the calcium..i was just tested .there saying i have a problem with calcium...Thanks for this info .
Will be going over the calcium subject soon Harry.
In the meantime, please watch this video. It explains perfectly how many of us are unaware of something we may have, that needs to be addressed immediately.

Very inspiring story Dave, thank you for sharing. You all look like you’re living your best lives in Thailand. Best Wishes!
All the best Allen
Loving the TH-cam channel mate but the facebook page is absolutely awesome, plenty of great content and advice 🇦🇺🙏
Glad you enjoy it and thank you for your support 👍
Fasting is the way to go...been doing it for sometime 💪
Works for Pook and me 🙂
Dave, i wish to congratulate you as you look great and you are very right about your diet. Kevin, My fiance' lives in Udon Thani and she has been to Canada three times now. I have been in the process of relocating there. She has her own beautiful home there and i am a Doctor but leaving my practice. She is only 39, never been married and has no children. I am 56 and i also have no children but a Widower. I wish to ask you Keven how much does it cost for health insurance there ?? Regards, Shannon
I'm in pretty good shape with just a couple of things that I went through in the distant past.
Mine costs about 6,500 per qtr and I have a 40,000 excess on any claim.
I took the policy out when I was 59 years old.
Great effort mate. Everyone needs to find what works for them and you certainly have.
I’ve been practicing intermittent fasting for a few years 16-20hrs no food daily. I feel fresh, alert and don’t have an problem working out on an empty stomach.
During my eating time I eat healthy but have whatever I feel like.
I’m not giving up Vegemite toast and a cold beer.
All the best 👍
Great stuff, whatever works for you 😃
The problem with all the protein is that my brother ended up with high cholesterol.
Too much protein can can cause kidney damage and kidney stones.
@@kev12364 Another annoying myth spread by the veganists. Read the papers on high animal proteïn intake, there is yet no evidence that this is true.
@@smrriles5668 show them.
@@smrriles5668 as youtube is deleting my comments again: please provide these studies for me.
@@kev12364not true
I would never eliminate carbohydrates from my diet, but try to include those that have some positive benefits - so more berries, fruits and vegetables, and less cakes, biscuits and bread (I take but minimise). To eliminate these foods and focus only on meat and dairy will increase your risk of cancer and heart disease.
Depends on where you get your information from.
Pook and I still eat fruit and vegetables, but not so sure about the increased risk.
There is a guy who was interviewed on the Dr Berg TH-cam channel who was sent home from hospital with stage 4 cancer.
Cured himself mainly through fasting and a carnivore diet.
Thanks for your input 👍
@@TheIsaanFarang How many did something similar ... and then died? Science is backed by evidence, not anecdotes. You're welcome, I comment because I think views expressed in the video shouldn't be accepted as scientific fact.
processed carbs are your enemy , we evolved eating meat & animal fats…...
Well Kev your never going to beleave this, such a small world we live in, every interesting video by the way, I got chatting to Dave after watching this video and we discovered we both worked at the same place doing pretty much the same job, yet we never met while he was working there, pretty incredible, not only do you give great content, your building a network of people meeting each other!🙂
How strange is that Steve.
Many call it "The Law Of The Universe"
Some will scoff, but with all that has happened to me, I'm a strong believer.
All the best mate.
Fantastic episode. Carnevore works. You don't have to suffer.
Ribeye every day is not to bad.
And it is absolutely true that big pharma wants you sick. Greed.
Cudos to you for spreading the message. BTW, my wife is from the Khemmarat area.I love it there.
You made my day.
Keep enjoying life❤
If everyone was healthy, the drug companies would be out of business.
All the best 👍
Was in Khemarat town last night for a few beers now fasting for a few days.
I first became interested in this type of eating after watching the Netflix series “Alone” which is basically a starvation game played out in the wilderness. One of the contestants killed a Moose and I just assumed that he would outlast everyone that season. He even rendered most of the fat from the meat and was eating that, but he could not stop dropping weight and was pulled from the competition by the doctors. Dave is right about getting over the tipping point to where the body starts to metabolize fat stores is the key.
Thanks for sharing Allen
It works, I lost 1kg a week. You can eat green vegetables. No fruit or vegetables with sugar. No carbs like nuts, pasta, rice or beard etc
Thanks for sharing Terry... Well done
Nuts are not carbs. But a good source of protein.
Over age 50 one things for sure get a 6 month PSA blood and prostate exam done ,, there are many many men with zero ZERO prostate symptoms walking around with a ticking time bomb running away inside them ,,,, get it done !
Absolutely, plus a calcium scan every now and then.
Will be speaking with David Lee about that soon.
You seem to be gasping for breath Kev at the end of sentences ,, maybe I’m wrong but never noticed it before in your vlogs 🤷♀️
By product of losing half a lung when I was 22... but that's for another time 😉
Cor blimey mate never knew that , sorry it was just an observation ,, btw I have a mate still going still smoking at 80 odd years on one lung , other one removed over 30 odd years ago
He means intermittens fasting....
??? 🤷♂️
The reason you put on weight after fasting is that you were gaining muscle and losing fat with daily movements as light exercise. Protein is tied to testosterone and muscle. You were on an athlete's diet without you realizing it. Enjoy!
Thank you
Please don’t get into the blame game thing, as a doctor I get pissed off when people accuse me of not doing enough we are just trying to help people as a profession
You have to understand why people are starting to question the drive behind what big pharma have been doing for so long with the help of the medical profession.
The son of a good friend of mine has just qualified as a doctor in the UK.
I asked him how much of his 5 years of hard work and study was spent looking at nutrition and natural remedies.
His answer; 2 lectures (max 4 hours) on nutrition, NOTHING on natural remedies.
Listen to the interview and what Dave was told by his doctor, 20 years ago. He told Dave that he would be taking tablets for diabetes and blood pressure for the rest of his life.
A bit of research, and Dave cured himself. No more medication = no more profit for the drug company.
Where and when did you study?
48 hr fast a week works well
Well done James.
Keep it up and reap the benefits 🙂
Good luck trying fasting if you live with your Thai girlfriend. Pook must be one of a kind, Dave. Those girls "geen kao" every 2 hours, god knows where they put it, but nothing gets between a Thai girl and her food. 😄
Pook will tell you... She's an Essex Girl 😄
She does really well with her eating habits.
It’s called Insulin Resistance and it’s directly related to Diet ! Just saying and this is a fact !
Going vegan makes people really strong. Lewis Hamilton is vegan.
going vegan will not make you strong …. Going vegan is a guarantee to muscle wasteage as we age
No strong carnivores? 🧐 🤔 🤷♂️
typical farrang vid ,don't agree with a lot but some made sense . I'm from London also ,been here 23 years and yes ,I'm not fat also . Walk my muts every morning ,average trip around 6 or 7 km ,which keeps me out of the 'wat' for the time being . keeps me being cremated . Why not mention the health care here ,it's wonderful and if your ailment is outside the basic Thai NHS available the cost will be minimal . Health insurance a waste of time in my view but up to each individual ,if you've got the dosh then pay when needed
Re healthcare, I agree, paying when needed does make a lot of sense if you can do it.
