It would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic. Gary Fettke, a Tasmanian orthopaedic surgeon has been banned from talking to patients about the nutritional changes they can make to prevent amputations.
I am a Scottish doctor who is working to improve the outcomes for people who have diabetes using a low carb diet, and advanced insulin techniques when necessary. Professionally I provide expert witness reports in the clinical forensic and family medicine areas and I also provide complementary therapies. I enjoy cooking, cinema, reading, travel and cats.

Gary’s presentation explains how eating the wrong stuff: sugar, starch and vegetable oil products raise the amount of oxidisable LDL in the cell membranes and circulation and thus cause cardiovascular disease, premature degenerative disease and cancer. It is a shame that he can’t produce more new material but he does have sufficient information out there that can help you make wise choices for your future health.
As I wrote elsewhere (FoodMed where his “trial” is also being covered) if he’d invented a way of amputating diabetics’ feet in half the time he’d be feted as a hero.
Preventing the amputations in the first place, not so much.
