This. The doctor works for you.
And eg most doctors will laugh at you if you said that T2 diabetes can be put into remission with diet: but it can for at least 50% of people. And the other 50% will at least drasticly lower their need for medication.
Also notice the word "remission": they can't admit that you actually healed T2 diabetes, so they use the word remission to gaslight you into thinking that "you didn't even heal it, you're just lucky and it's gonna come back".
Hard to take any doctor seriously nowadays.
- MattGaiser 3y agoYou aren't healed if you need to remain on that diet to keep the T2 away. You still need to actively treat your condition. So remission seems like a reasonable thing to say about it.
- NotGMan 3y agoThis implies that the diet that gave you T2 was not poisonious and implies that that diet was healthy in the 1st place. So you cannot say "you're in remission" if you're eating poison. You were poisoning yourself. So obviously if you poison yourself again you're gonna go out of "remission".
- ramblenode 3y agoThis doesn't square with the fact that the standard American diet is known to be unhealthy and a cause of pre-diabetes. If I eat something allergenic, start experiencing a reaction, then later cut the offending food out of my diet, it doesn't mean I am in remission from my allergy; it means I am avoiding the cause of an allergic reaction.
