Lately I've been getting some down votes on Reddit that I don't quite understand. I did begin to notice them after I put this popular post (https://www.reddit.com/r/diabetes/comments/ql2svq/just_a_reminder_that_dr_richard_k_bernsteins/) up. Since then all of sudden my comments and posts have gotten unpopular, I'm guessing by a small group of people whose attention I must have gotten.
I'm not totally sure why I've earned their disdain (especially since I'm so cuddly and lovable). However I'll hazard some guesses:
1. To those who fear the fat, in that case I would recommend the movie Fat Fiction (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUADs-CK7vI).
2. To those who fear the protein, in that case I would recommend this talk by Dr. Richard K. Bernstein (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=559rV3L1ixM).
3. To those who object to my admiration of Dr. Bernstein, someone articulated how I feel about Dr. Bernstein in this Reddit post responding to a Bernstein detractor (https://www.reddit.com/r/diabetes/comments/qmjp2c/warmup_for_the_upcoming_documentary_diabetes/hjbal6s/?context=3). It was much better than I could have done! If you are like the one person I ran into who claims a misdiagnosis in a pro Bernstein clinic, for me any harm that has happened is outweighed by the good he has done. If it is not the same for you, I understand, and hope you will find peace someday.[1]
4. To those who object to my statement that the ADA standard diet should be low carb and not just an option, I can not only point to my my wife's experience (http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=35473.0) but also the following:
a) The countless testimonials on Dennis Pollock's Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmKsQWqGmDPIWgrVqGYbc3w)
b) The testimonials in the Documentary Fat Fiction (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUADs-CK7vI)
c) The many testimonials in Dr. Bernstein's book 'Diabetes Solution' (http://www.diabetes-book.com/)

[1]The condition claimed was brittle diabetes, It affects about 3 of every 1,000 people with insulin-dependent diabetes (0.03% of that population) - if there are other rare conditions I should be aware of, I will edit as I become aware of them
P.S. A documentary featuring Dr. Bernstein is due for release on November 9th, 2021! Here is a slideshow (https://www.facebook.com/Type1Grit/photos/a.436512299840867/2020467418112006/) with information on how to watch and also a great intro to the doctor's methods!

It's probably not a person, but rather a 'sockpuppet army' controlled by whichever corporation(s) that your post is likely to hurt the most. Companies often pay Russian troll companies for their expertise in this field, to shut down those who question those well-paid 'sacred cows' who stand to lose the most from being unmasked.
