METFORMIN. Made by Merck, sold as Glucophage. Another possible miracle drug? My struggle with alcohol became BAD over the past five years. I'm not diabetic (tho diabetes runs in my family), but taking this every night has helped me kick the bottle FOR GOOD. Anyone else? TRY THIS if you need it!

🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
Do you think going on a strict “keto diet” have the same effects?
I have some intestinal issues, depression and inflammation and am about at my wits end with it and am seeing over and over just recently that sugar is the root of many physical issues.
What is your opinion of a low sugar diet, as in just eating natural sugar that happens to be in fruits and vegetables? I feel like God provided us with those things to eat and if we were intended to JUST eat meat we would have sharp teeth and short intestinal tracts.
Keto helped me more than I can even assess at this point.
I had intestinal inflammation and some IBS, so I started drinking kombucha. After about 6 weeks, the issues were relieved for a year. Then they came back.
So I took some ivermectin, for five days. Worms came out. My intestinal issues went away. Three months later, took it again. More worms.
My intestinal issues have been gone for about nine months, now.
Yes keto does the same thing but modify your low carb diet. My diet is always low carb. Keto has a problem with too many bad fats, you need omega three fish oil in greater amounts.
Well, fish isn’t the only source. Snack on walnuts or pumpkin seeds.
I highly recommend to take fish oil or buy cod liver oil that’s high quality. It’s the highest source of natural vitamin D.
Remember all those kids having to take cod liver oil? It’s because of the high D content.
There’s a problem with them making those D supplements they aren’t in a natural matrix for absorption.
Look for Nordic Naturals cod liver oil, it tastes good actually, like lemon, no fish taste none. No one would buy it otherwise.
I’m sad I didn’t get back to your post right away I hope you see this. I’ve helped countless people and I’m normally in my own practice as a holistic nurse.
So here we go. I suggest first for this cod liver oil because humans evolved on fish and shellfish. Then wham, we changed to farming, even Jesus mentions fishing! Everyone ate fish!
We call omega three fatty acids “essential” because unlike other proteins and fats we can’t make this from other fats.
Almost all diseases in mankind are because we stopped eating fish and seafood as a main source and changed to farming methods. Our bodies have not adapted.
Every cell in our body uses fats as receptors so take your insulin receptor.
Imagine a house, the window is a receptor, you have a windows shade you’re going to place on the window and that’s insulin, it tells your cell to open and be fed.
Well after a while if your body uses omega 6 fatty acids (olive oil) to build that receptor the window is crooked, in fact the window is offset by two feet on the top right and two feet on the bottom left. Now you can’t hang the shade.
Over time you lose receptors and even if you’re not a diabetic, you’ll gain weight.
We see in study after study, omega three fatty acids lower risk of diabetes. People who live near seas have low diabetes and depression, the two are connected because omega three fatty acids also make the receptors on the neurons!,
This is hard work, I make sure that my fish oil is the main fatty acid meaning only a few slices of cheese or butter. I take krill oil caps on top of the fish oil.
We are talking a primary deficiency here that fans out to cause all the other problems people are having.
Imagine it, 3 million years of humans fishing to ten thousand years of farmed animals.
This isn’t talked about enough. This is my primary goal in starting people on health. I want you to first get your receptors straight before we talk about fixing anything else.
Do you want to text me? I’ll give you a free consult.

This is the kind of person I am, I would help anyone get their health straight.
Next, eat low carbs as best you can, if you do keto it can help drop weight fast but you’ll screw up your receptors unless you do fish fat keto and I can’t imagine it would work.
Don’t eat olive oil, that turns into inflammation - you can have a little.
Eat two pieces of fruit in between meals, fruit acids are like vinegar they slow down digestion but yes do look up the fruit that might be too high of calories, you decide. That will help you cut your meals in half because you’re getting fed in between. This trick doesn’t always work but try it. Yes you can and should eat fruit!
Cut your calories by doing intermittent fasting.
This is just like taking Metformin.
One day cut out 1/2 for fasting. The next day eat normal. Every other day fast one meal or two meals whatever you can handle. This will lengthen your life and you will lose weight.
You can slam a shot of apple cider vinegar if you eat bread, pasta or sugar, this will slow down digestion just like Metformin.
In fact don’t do keto, do low carb intermittent fasting and fix your receptors first.
It will take six months to fix them on the fish oil, cod liver oil. After that you’ll drop weight like crazy and with the high vitamin D your depression should get much better if not disappear.
I will tell you more but I want you to commit to just two things first, get the fish oil, cut all the other fats unless it’s walnuts, pumpkin seeds, flax.
I’m posting a list and then https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat/fats-and-cholesterol/types-of-fat/omega-3-fats/
And try the intermittent fasting. Fasting does the same thing as Metformin.

So they are saying here 2000-3000 mg of fish oil. Which is a tablespoon of that cod liver oil a day or three tabs a day of the fish oil tablets. I don’t trust the studies, I look at rates of diseases in people who have a diet high in fish like Japan, Finland.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41398-019-0515-5
Remember when they do studies they might throw two fish oil tabs on top of someone eating cheeseburgers, lol. The best results come from limiting other fats and bolstering omega three fats.
Just do the best you can. Don’t completely change everything, just try on the days you feel like it and never shame yourself for not taking the supplement or eating a cheeseburger. I cheat all the time.
The issue is, you feel so good eating healthy that you don’t want to stop. Depression clears up, my blood work is perfect for cholesterol.
Diabetes runs in my family, badly, and it’s not related to weight gain. Out of all the cousins and there are 12 of us, I’m the only one not diabetic or prediabetic.
It’s the fish oil. And the Metformin.

Wow thank you so much for the in-depth advice!
Never really considered that humans might NEED something in fish. I know people have sworn by fish oil/omega 3 supplementation, that’s for sure.
I will do what you suggested, taking fish oil and trying IF. Both of those are quite reasonable and what you’re saying makes sense.
Is this a good one to get?

As far as eating good omega 3s only, I’ll try… easily done for my personal meals but I’m also in strong agreement with your other advice, of not being so strict that it makes life awful- not giving up burgers anytime soon :)
By “ One day cut out 1/2 for fasting.”
In other words, one day a week don’t eat breakfast or lunch or snacks until dinner, and the rest of the week skip an occasional meal or two as a bonus?
Thanks again for the advice, I really appreciate it!
Worked for me.
I eat some fruits and veggies too. But I stick to berries which are relatively low in carbs or even a banana a day is ok.
The biggest key is to get your body into ketosis. So for two weeks I would zero out carbs entirely. You can take a home urine test to see if you're body has entered ketosis as well.
