> organic foods improve vascular function and prevent insulin resistance in the organs

This is bullshit.

> Many of the 'deposits' in Alzheimers are composed of quarantined pathogens (lyme, chlamydia, etc) and fasting + diet + exercise can help minimize those.

This is also bullshit.

> Steven Buhner

He's a well-known crackpot.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2949767/ and there is another study that I don't have the link to where autopsies on 100 Alzheimer brains showed a mix of spirochetes, chlamydia, etc in the deposits.

Buhner protocols have helped many tens of thousands of people with tick borne diseases and is widely used by a number of lyme specialists throughout the world.

If you feel healthier eating processed food containing higher levels of pesticides, herbicides, etc then please continue to consume them. Be the center of your own black hole.

> Low carbohydrate real, organic foods improve vascular function and prevent insulin resistance in the organs

Yes, low carb can reduce chronic hyperglycemia and thereby keep insulin resistance at bay. I wouldn't be surprised if there were vascular benefits from avoiding processed foods as well. What's with the cherry-picking in your quote?

And I don't know who Steven Buhner is, but you rarely see ad hominem arguments in such raw form on HN these days, not to mention an overall response that adds so little and in such a rude tone. Please try harder or go elsewhere.

GP took the time to write down a thousand words, and you just call bullshit, bullshit, and crackpot. Why don’t you convert your knee jerk reaction into an argument that we all can follow?
