Lies My Doctor Told Me, Second Edition: Medical Myths That Can Harm Your Health | Ken D. Berry, MD

Has your doctor lied to you? Eat low-fat and high-carb, including plenty of “healthy” whole grains—does that sound familiar? Perhaps this is what you were told at your last doctor’s appointment or visit with a nutritionist, or perhaps it is something you read online when searching for a healthy diet. And perhaps you’ve been misled.

Dr. Ken Berry is here to dispel the myths and misinformation that have been perpetuated by the medical and food industries for decades. This updated and expanded edition of Dr. Berry’s bestseller Lies My Doctor Told Me exposes the truth behind all kinds of “lies” told by well-meaning but misinformed medical practitioners. Nutritional therapy is often overlooked in medical school, and the information provided to physicians is often outdated. However, the negative consequences on your health remain the same. Advice to avoid healthy fats and stay out of the sun has been proven to be detrimental to longevity and wreak havoc on your system.

In this book, Dr. Berry will enlighten you about nutrition and life choices, their role in our health, and how to begin an educated conversation with your doctor about finding the right path for you. This book will teach you:

• How doctors are taught to think about nutrition and other preventative health measures—and how they should be thinking

Editorial Reviews

Review

Every doctor should strive to emulate Dr. Ken Berry's way of practicing medicine:  Continual research, compassion, listening to patients, and going above and beyond to find answers and solutions.  Lies My Doctor Told Me sheds a bright light on how grossly uninformed many doctors are regarding a slew of diseases and conditions.  Get armed and educated with this book!                                                --- Elle Russ, best-selling author of The Paleo Thyroid Solution

This is one book you absolutely need to add to your health library in 2017 because it's a medical doctor who is willingly sticking his neck out on behalf of patients to call balderdash on the shenanigans taking place in the medical community.                                                 --- Jimmy Moore, best-selling author of Keto Clarity

This book struck so many chords with me I could write a symphony!  Here, Dr. Ken Berry eloquently explains how Emperor Medicine discarded his clothing and stitches the truth back together for all to see and redress.  Dr. Berry sets out honest, practical, and powerful truths on extremely diverse health topics for both patients and MD's and, unfortunately, you won't hear this golden information from +90% of American medical doctors. Don't forget to gift a copy to your doctor!                                              --- Anthony G Jay, author of Estrogeneration --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.
