They made a top level comment about a previously-unknown heart defect. Diet and exercise doesn't fix a hole in the heart
Did they post anything to support that claim?
Diet and exercise can fix most "holes in the heart". Even if they are the 0.01%, that doesn't change my message for every single other person.
My previous misdiagnosis put me on meds that hid my symptoms and covid had my doctor's office telling us that if we had no concerns, to not come in. By the time my symptoms began to show even with the meds, my heart was the size of a football (gridiron football, not association football) and required a transplant. Any increased effort made me nearly pass out.
I get where you're coming from, MOST OF THE TIME diet and exercise are better than not. My circumstances were pretty atypical too, but lets not act like telling anyone that walks into a hospital just needs to jog their ailments away is the way to go. A lot of doctors would do well to try just a little harder, it likely would have saved me from needing to wait for another person to die to be able to continue to live.
I'm very sorry that happened to you. My problem was with your phrasing. As I'm sure you know: eating better, working out, and sleeping more did not make your condition worse. I interpreted that as what you claimed.
You were a victim of malpractice and negligence, not living a more healthy life.
Yeah, I know that. I just bristle at the thought of being told to lose weight instead of actually getting the help I needed. I don't ACTUALLY think that stuff made me worse off. It was mostly the look on the doctor's face when I told him I WAS working out and eating better, and he laughed in my face because I was gaining weight. Too bad I was retaining fluids... There's a lot more to the story, but I don't care to get into it.
Can you tell I'm a bit salty? Sorry for the trauma dump.
I cannot even fathom what you've been through. There is no need to apologize.
If you want to share more, I'll listen.
What do you want, their medical records? Their doctor's phone number?
I have a PDF of all of the paperwork. I won't be sharing, of course, but I have it.
No worries, I believe you. I don't have any reason not to. I'm also dealing with major health issues, so I hope you have found solutions that work for you.
Yes, if someone claimed that diet, exercise, and such had actively harmed them, I would want medical records to back that up.
That wasn't what happened, and I understand that now.
Why should anyone show you their private medical records? Who do you think you are?
Someone who claims blatant lies should absolutely show some proof to back them up. Do you agree with that statement?
Funny how you're the only one who seems to think they're lying.
And no, I don't agree that someone should provide you, a complete stranger, with private medical records. Because that would be incredibly stupid.
Now, seeing as the thing they claimed was provably false,
Do you think it's wrong for me to ask for proof when someone makes an unfounded claim?
What part of "And no, I don’t agree that someone should provide you, a complete stranger, with private medical records. Because that would be incredibly stupid" are you not understanding?
Okay. Since you won't listen to reason, I'll just sum up my points:
Someone claimed that eating good, working out, and sleeping more actively hurt them.
This didn't actively hurt them, and they admitted this.
Do you have any more questions?
Where did they admit this?
Oh, no! You lack the ability to read this thread and think for yourself!
Interesting. You demand proof from someone else, but when someone asks you for it, you refuse to give it.
You... Aren't very smart, are you?
Insulting me will not change the fact that you do not apply your own standard of proof to yourself.
But you are surely intelligent enough to read the rest of this thread, right?
DID you read it? Could you sum it up for me?
I will read the post where he admitted he lied when you show it to me. I see no reason to re-read the entire thread to find out whether or not he really did. I certainly don't remember him doing so.
The fact that you refuse to back up your claim suggests to me that he didn't.

Since you can't be bothered, there it is.
He said he didn't think it made him worse off but his doctor did. I'm not seeing where he admitted he lied.
Yes, both they and I have admitted that they were lying when they claimed that.
Where?
