Say 'NO' To Gastric Bypass Surgery

This is the medical establishments latest response to diabetes: an unhealthy diet or surgery!!!!


The diet is somewhat excessive and I cant' imagine many willing to endure its strict and punishing 2-month schedule. A healthy balanced diet should give the recommended daily calorie intake of 2000 calories for women and 2500 for men. According to a small UK study, a diet of 600 calories per day for 2 months will reverse type-2 diabetes. That's right - 600 calories per day! That's less than what you'd get from your average meal...


Of course not many in their right minds would take this option, so the next option offered is surgery. A gastric bypass, in fact. Researchers tested 3 types of surgery to reduce the size and shape of the stomach. According to their results, all 3 surgery types were successful in getting diabetics into remission. That sounds like good news, doesn't it?


Here's the catch - about 4 out of 10 gastric bypass patients experience complications. This can be from abdominal hernias to infections and digestive problems, like acid reflux, vomiting and diarrhoea. Furthermore, A study by the University of Arkansas, USA, has linked some neurological problems to gastric bypass. They are memory loss, cognitive decline, restricted movement and progressive vision loss. But worst of all is the death rate due to gastric bypass. According to the Journal of American Medical Association, out of 16,000 gastric bypass patients aged 35-44, 5% of men and 3% of women died within 1 year. Death rates were even higher in the older age groups!


So weigh up the option: acid reflux, memory loss or premature death. 


It would appear that the cause of these problems associated with gastric bypass surgery would be due to poor nutrient absorption as a direct result of the surgery. Poor nutrient absorption can cause many health problems - and death!




So should your doctor suggest this I hope you bypass the bypass! You'd might be better off on the 600 calorie per day diet...


Of course, the best course of action is a healthy diet and lifestyle. Organic vegetarian diet is best, also the palaeolithic diet (aka caveman or Stone Age diet) with lots of raw fruit and veg. Avoid alcohol and tobacco, cut down on coffee, and live a stress-free life...:-)


The Golden Rule:
Avoid the 3 white menaces

  • White Sugar
  • White Flour
  • Salt


May you be well and happy
May you be free from suffering

  1. Surgeries are the option to cure the many of disease . The people should take the Physiotherapy North Ryde after the surgery to remove the pain from the joints and muscles to become normal and fit.
