Getting Rid of Chronic Pain, Arthritis, and Fibromyalgia on a Carnivore Diet!

- čas přidán 15. 05. 2022
- Millions of people are living with constant chronic pain on a daily basis for a variety of reasons, but whatever the reason, it can be debilitating and keep one from participating in basic activities of life. Some have surgical or medical solutions, and others get lumped into the "I don't know" pile and linger on for years. Well, what if I told you that your diet plays a larger role in this pain syndrome than we think? It's true, you can significantly reduce the amount of inflammation in your body, and subsequently the pain you experience, by eliminating foods that cause it in the first place.

I suffered with Rheumatoid Arthritis for years, along with Hashimoto’s and Celiac. Was Keto for 6 years because of the Celiac and over those years I ate less and less vegetables and carbs eventually going 100% carnivore. After probably 8 months of carnivore I was off all of my many meds for the RA and pain free for the first time in close to 15 years. All of my autoimmune issues are gone and I’m healthier than ever and close to my high school weight (I’m 62). My Endocrinologist used a meat and water diet for her IBS patients and my Rheumatologist was so impressed by my transformation he has done his research he is now using this to help his patients. I recently added carbs and sugar back in mostly due to stress (my mom had dementia, broke her hip and ultimately passed on Christmas Eve. Was her caretaker 24/7) and have now gone back to zero carb since I am getting some joint pain back and just don’t feel 100%. I am finding I can throw something in on occasion and be ok just not consistently eating carbs. I was zero carb for close to 3 years before my mom got I’ll. After a year of panic from my doctors that I would get colon cancer, or have a heart attack due to high cholesterol they are all on board and tell me I’m one of their healthiest patients. Thank you for all you do!!
Amazing transformation Cindy! I have RA as well and have had similar results
Sorry bout your mom:(, mine died on the 23rd. so I feel for you.
You are quite an inspiration, Ty for sharing! I’m going to save your comment for times when I need it (I have ms). Thanks again and take care:)
@@Nan-1017 Thank you for the kind words and I’m sorry about your mom ❤️
With her dementia it was hard to maintain this and I had Cocoa Puffs and that just led me down that path, but I’m back on track and feeling better. Just remember this is just a way of eating and if we have something now and then it’s ok. I’m hoping this will help your ms and give you some healing 🥰
@@finerfortyniner ty Cindy. I fell off hard last weekend and made 2 cakes! I only had one piece of each and gave the rest to my husband and neighbors but I still feel the effects today but I’m back on carnivore too. Best of luck to ya always. 🥰
How did you get through the pain from the meat?
I have gout
Anthony,
You, Jordan Peterson, Andrew Huberman, Shawn Baker, and Ken Berry are truly the most wonderful important men. The mighty 5 will change the world for the better.
Because I've known you I've been changed for good.
Well thank you trials I really appreciate that! It is truly and honour for anyone to consider me up in the league with those gentleman who I respect immensely. Good luck on your journey, and I hope that you continue on in great health!
Also Amber OHearn, Kelly Hogan and many more
Also Dr Westman
and...Michael Huddelston (ICT)
Jason Fung and Sten Ekberg too, though they're keto.
Carnivore completely cured my arthritis in weeks.
I went from walking with a stick with a lava knee joint to today, run, cycle, punchbag, weights & resistance bands.
What exactly you ate?
@@happychildren6044 What do I eat now?
@@fryertuck6496 is it only beef or you had eggs. Chicken and Vegetables
@@happychildren6044 I eat beef, lamb, chicken, pork, duck, fish, some seafood, eggs, cheese, yogurt, sour cream and milk/cream.
Make my own mayo with egg yolks and a light olive oil.
Occasional berries, strawberries, blueberries etc.
Cook with: lard, beef tallow, butter, ghee.
You give me hope. Been suffering from Myofascial Pain Syndrome for 10 years it’s very similar to Fibromyalgia.
My ill health symptoms began in the 80s. The most significant were horrible body pain everywhere, nausea after eating, and migraine headaches. Doctors told me it was in my head. I felt so ashamed that I stopped seeking a medical solution thinking I must be the problem. Patient shaming when doctors don't care and want to prescribe medications is, in my opinion, criminal. My journey to improved health has been long and continues daily. However, today in my 70s I feel healthier, stronger, and happier than when I was in my 30s. I'm so glad to see a movement toward healing through better diets.
I'm so glad you found a solution. I am transitioning into a fully carnivore diet and I can tell the difference. Recently I've suffered with increased pain and stomach issues but plan to correct those with a carnivore plan.
Thank you for sharing. Love and peace to you ❤
I’m so glad for you. I know how it feels to be told “it’s all in your head”
You were smart to take matters into your own hands 👍🏻
Dr Chaffee is the greatest so damn knowledgeable showing all of Gods natural built in cure to the human body What a kind soul to spend his efforts curing all of us in chronic pain Thank you and Ken Berry for being ambassadors to help mankind
My doctor told me that I have the strangest symptoms 🙄. I walked around in pain for a year ...went to an emergency room only to find out * I had Cancer *😢. Needless to say I fired my doctor. I hope that she never dismiss another patient symptoms as strange again 🥺.
I have arthritis, stenosis, and budging disks in my back. Have been taking 1600 mg of ibuprofen daily for years. 2 months on the Carnivore Diet and I'm off ibuprofen and antacids. Still have pain but much less now. Lost 30 pounds as well. Surprised and happy
Same here. Everything you have including AS. Hoping all the weight loss will improve the pain.
@@MG63Spondylities is cure for carnivore diet
I'm absolutely blown away in reading all the comments on these kind of videos and how their health issues almost disappear upon adopting a carnivore / ketovore lifestyle. While I have no following on social media I feel like by us commenting on these videos we can aid others by our testimonials. Cheers!
That's absolutely true! Thank you. And yes, I love reading all the positive comments
I can testify for amazing results being carnivore 20 months.
I have 3 prolapsed discs in my lower back so for years my doctor misdiagnosed my RA. It wasn’t until 2020 during covid that my pain was so debilitating I couldn’t even walk or crawl to the bathroom and that’s when he thought he should order more tests. As well as RA I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and was borderline T2D. I embraced the conventional meds out of pure desperation but after doing the research on methotrexate and Celebrex I began looking for an alternative. I was 32 kg overweight and the irony is that I actually ate healthy, no junk or fast food but I did binge on the weekend even though it was all organic and whole. I even grew my own vegetables. I started a ketogenic diet in January 2021 and stuck to it religiously and it was ‘clean’ keto, balanced fat to protein ratio OMAD with less than 10 total carbs a day. It was actually very easy for me because I wasn’t a junk food eater. My markers improved so quickly and the fat melted so fast that no one, including myself, noticed it happen. I literally woke up one day and my work pants fell to the floor when I zipped them up. All my ‘fat’ clothes were hanging off me. Thankfully I had kept all my beautiful skinny clothes from 20 years ago which are still stylish 😂 My health has been better but my rheumatologist refuses to believe that RA can been eliminated so now I want to prove her wrong. I’m now of a full carnivore eating plan and after 2 weeks of solid research I am consuming approximately 70gm of beef or lamb protein and 140gm of fat (most of that from butter), drinking water with electrolytes and have reduced my (organic) long decaf espresso with cream to just one in the morning (with butter). I’m going to do this until my next blood tests which will be around July and that’s when I’m due to see my rheumatologist again. It’s weird but I like the feeling of taking control of my destiny. I’m 61yo and am, after 35 years, back to my original slim body and virtually pain free.
How are you feeling now? Are you still eating the diet? Thank you.
Yes updates when you can pls. I’m a doctor and just diagnosed with RA.
@@SW-qv7gi I have this feeling that we are not going to get any replies.
yayy this is amazing!
This is insane.... I had a shoulder injury and chronic muscular pain for more than 2 years. It was so bad that I couldn't carry any shopping bags, or even a hand bag on my left side etc. I went carnivore and on day 3 .... I wake up and the pain is gone. I was in so much shock, I could not believe it and went to the gym and did weights and today is day 4 there is still no pain.. this is incredible and I am in disbelief. This is life changing 🎉 thank you for pushing this way of eating.
wow!!!!!!!!! I'm having a tear for you!
How are you feeling now after 2 months?
Wow! That's great! Keep up the good work :-)
That's amazing! I'm so glad to hear that. How are you feeling at this point 5 months on? Still going strong with carnivore?
The amazing power of the placebo effect.
My benefits:
-better vision
-better focus
-better memory
-consistent energy
-no more back pain
-no more headaches
-no more physical anxiety
-more mental clarity
-no more brain fog
-better sleep quality
-more patience
-less anger, irritability, it's so drastic I feel like a Buddhist monk compared to how I would get mad all the time over the smallest things
-no more depression and a insanely significant reduction in mood swings and their severity
-skin/nail/hair health improved (amazing skin, no more acne)
Diet: Beef Delmonico/Ribeye Steaks, Short-Rib, sometimes ground beef patties, Lamb Chops, Bone Broth, Tallow, Ghee, Salt, Liver, Egg Yolks (can't tolerate whites)
The placebo effect is A powerful thing.
@@Dionysus_AthenaLOL keep staying in your own dogma
@@carver233 it’s okay science isn’t for everyone.
@@Dionysus_Athenayou're right science is not for everyone, thats why u should no become carnivore and enjoy the amazing effect.
Eat plants qnd carbs, keep feeling like shit, and be a scientist 😂
@@antomat85 funny I’ve tried it and it wasn’t that great. Again a balanced diet is best.
I started eating meat only in September and I have reduced daily migraines to zero. My neurologist also had almost given up. We tried everything. Change in diet has changed my life.
I had this exact same result. I tried carnivore for other reasons (ME/CFS) but after about 3 weeks I noticed that my daily headaches were completely gone. I had a snack one night of peanut butter on a tortilla and the next morning woke up with a migraine
This is why I love listening to videos like this. It just keeps me on track it keeps me towards my goal. My goal is to be less inflamed out of pain and living my 60s better than I did in my 50s
That's great Cyndi and well done for a trying to get healthier and healthier as you age! That's what everyone should strive for.
Amen. Me too. At 54 I have been sick 10 years
Well said my friend 👏
Yes me too
Can you have cream in coffee on carnivore?
I was on carnivore for 1year felt amazing. Then decided to have bread pasta rice and coffee and the inflammation was pretty bad. The pain is not worth it.
Did you try JUST rice and what did you have in your coffee?
@@richardmiddleton7770 sushi, and rice with vegetables, coffee was black . My depression and anxiety came back. On carnivore, didn't experience anxiety or depression.
@@sammessiha serioysly 😳 😪 You eat carnivore or ketovire ? And no more coffee ?
I started my carnivore diet on 1/1/2023 because of my RA and HypoThyroidism. My RA started in 2005. I have been searching constantly for a cure! I was on Prednisone 20 years but 2 yrs ago switched to Methotrexate injectable 1x a week. Since the 1st I am off of it completely! 0 meds, not even a aspirin! Soon I will be done with my thyroid meds!!! Gosh I wish I started this 20 years ago!!
Thanks for sharing. I'm on day 3 of carnivore and my inflammation is getting worse - I'm hoping this is just temporary. Did you experience anything similar right at the beginning? All the best to you!
How did it go? Are you off your thyroid meds? I have hashimotos and I’ve just started the carnivore diet.
@@amandabotha357how are you today?
@@amandabotha357 I feel for you. It is worth trying for your immune system. I noticed once i consume bread, pasta all gluten free and heavy cream, chocolate my arthitis starts flaring up. Plant based diet was helpful, cuting off sugar was helpful to put me on remission.
Ketovore completely stopped my fibromyalgia body pain. I took Lyrica for years and am now medication free.
How long did it take to heal?
@@mannyramirezls it took about 9 months.
@@terihooper789 Thanks for quick reply! Happy your body healed and inspirational to hear. 😀

So happy for you, Im just starting so i hope to get the same results, fingers crossed. I’ve had fibromyalgia for 30 years and I’m at my witt’s end
Osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, bursitis all gone and off all meds from being on a carnivore diet for the last 14 months.
@@thistooshallpass5425 Only my left ankle was due to an injury. Knees, hips, back and neck, as the doctor put it due to old age, I was only 45 years old when I was diagnosed and am now 54. Within about two weeks of cutting out carbs from my diet, I felt a big improvement in all pain.
Awesome! I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both knees.
Your post is motivation to start strict carnivore!
I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis this week, :( im in so much pain, dont kniw what to do! I am on carnivore for almost 2 months. But have to do strict red meat salt and water,, hoping this would clear up faster the slower,, i am almost caving in to tylenol 3 and celebrex, holding off as much as i can! But its wearing me out
@@lisatimmings1923that gives me hope!
How does a carnivore diet help with Osteoarthritis? This type of arthritis is permanent wear and tear damage to joints. I'm thinking once the damage is done, how can the pain be reduced with any diet. Regards.
Watch out for artificial sweeteners!!! Since I eliminated ALL sweeteners, my massive pain all over my body has almost gone away!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏 I did process of elimination in my diet over a year, and I seriously believe the joint pain, fatigue, brain fog, and body aches was caused by the sweeteners. My Stevia from the Walmart brand was cut with Maltitol!!! Maltitol is worse than real sugar. My electrolyte powders that I mix in my water have Aspartame. There were many others mixed in my Monk Fruit, Erythritol, Allulose, etc. Please read all labels so you don't suffer like I have been. I am healing fast and feel so much better that I can walk again! Yay!
Thanks for your post. Very encouraging! I gotta get off the erithrytol. It used to have 0.5% Stevia in it and then they sneakily lowered Stevia to only 0.18%. Is that like blowing Stevia-dust on top of the industrially made erithrytol? The only change they did to the container was make the word "Stevia" about 5 times bigger. Luckily I read the back and noticed.
I didn't know it was cut with that!!! I've been purchasing Stevia Walmart's brand for a number of years and using it generously. PUTTING IT IN THE TRASH NOW! Not another day using it! I hope my fatigue and brain fog goes away, too. Thank you for your testimony, God bless.
Read the back of your package to make sure of the Maltitol ingredient before you throw it away. I wouldn't want you to waste money and toss yours if yours is different than mine.
Many Blessings to you and yours. Jesus Loves You!🙏🙏🙏📖📖📖💒💒💒💕💕💕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My husband is a doctor and we like Dr Chaffee so much we don’t eat plants anymore!!!

Thank you!
Appreciate this. Hoping he acknowledges properly.
Very much appreciated! Thanks!
Thank you so much for this!
@@anthonychaffeemdyou clearly have zero understanding on what fibromyalgia. It’s not just pain, why are those who have fibromyalgia in pain it’s due to antibodies sticking to muscle fibres and nerve endings which then the immune system attacks those spots. It’s also a mitochondria issue. You really shouldn’t be talking about subjects you do not know anything about, it gives people false hope. Fibromyalgia has no cure.
Fybermia is REAL. Imagine your whole body being a bruise and someone pokes, hits even rubs against your body. The pain radiates or amplifies and spread for a time. Thank God I don't suffer from it anymore after 3 months ketovore.!! It's real. I dam well don't miss it.!! No more narcs either.!!
I had fibromyalgia , Carnivore for 2 1/2 months and am no longer suffering
My sister suffers from fibromyalgia unfortunately she is adamant that people simply *must* eat carbohydrates and *lots* of fibre. I went carnivore 5 years ago and she is convinced that I am doing my body great harm. She is literally waiting to hear that I have had a myocardial infarction. Lovely eh?
@@birgittabirgersdatter8082 She is the one heading in that direction, sadly.
I used to have it. I'm grateful for great open minded doctors and eating Carnivore.
Lol I love the no more narcs either ending. Completely relate. I rid myself of toxic food only for a toxic man to walk into my life. No toxicity allowed!
Doc I have been in pain with arthritis in my right hip. I go to bed with a pillow between my legs and I’ve been doing stretches and physical therapy. I’m 70. I never thought it was going to get this painful. I don’t go out much if I sit too long, it hurts if I do too many stretches my hamstrings on my legs hurt, I’m not overweight. I’ve started keto in 2018. I’ve had this problem for the last three months with my arthritis. They said it’s in my right hip and I’ve taken meds for it they don’t help. it’s so sad when you see the doctor they make you feel like you are not that bad so I’m starting today I looked up about arthritis and I came across your channel. I hope it helps me the way. It helps so many others you can’t fake pain yes the pain is not good when you deal with it every day and they just want to put you on a prescription they wanted to do it hip replacement so I’m trying carnivore and hoping and praying that it’ll help me. Thanks for all the work you do I don’t know where to turnlove from South Dakota❤
Be great to get an update as to your progress!
How's it going? I see it's been a month since you commented. I'm your neighbor here in MN!
How you doing?
I have bad pain in my hipes/lower back area. I started meat base diet (50-80 grms of carbs/day 4-5 strawberries), my pain almost disappeared the first week.
*had
Hi. I'm just seeing your post now. Wondering if you got help with your pain. I am in severe nerve and muscle pain in my hip area and fibromyalgia in my shoulders so I am searching for help too and planning to start this diet. I am also from South Dakota.
I tried to tell someone who was experiencing MS symptoms to try carnivore but before I could even say anything they growled at me and said they have done everything! So she obviously chooses suffering.
I have had MS for over 20 years. Nothing helped in the past, but now Carnivore has helped me immensely! Thank you for your post!😀
Ive had ms for almost 32 yrs. Carnivore is the only thing really that has helped. I still do my infusions every 6 months but I’m still getting worse it seems. I fell off my carnivore diet this past weekend and paying for it today. I’m done. No more eating anything but carnivore. It’s the only thing left for me. 🥰🌷
Some needs to suffer so they understand justice ⚖ of Creation.

This opens the door to real health and longevity for so many. Love you guys!❤
Thank you very much!
It's so relaxing listening to you and your interviews because you just talk normally instead of cramming in as many words as you can. I've stopped listening to anyone who is more interested in quantity over quality, so thank you for this. BTW, I'm doing so much better eating carnivore, which I have now been doing for several days. At first I was also eating sprouts which I've cut out because it's been too hot to germinate any seeds and what a great difference. Once it cools down I'll be strictly growing them for my animals. They do great eating them and it makes for very healthy eggs. I've also cut out fruits and potatoes
One of the best interviews I've heard about carnivore! Thank you! 😊
Very good 😊 I listened to this on your podcast while I was out in the water kayaking and fishing today. Thank you both for all the great information
that sounds so beautiful
Great interview. Thanks!
My PC gave me trigger point shots for 2 years. 1 time a week until I just said No More. Didn't really help because I bruised so bad after getting 25 shots through out my body. I suffered either way. I was on perks. Then on methadone. Never once did anyone of 5 Dr's tell me to change my diet.! I an ketovore now 3 months and take none of those poisoning drugs. I am doing better. I still have lower back issues. I can live with it alot better though. And don't see any of those Dr's anymore.!! I heard the bell ring and my husband which has type 2 diabetes is on his 2nd month of ketovore. Thank you and dr berg, Dr Ken Berry for sharing and caring. God bless all.
Doctors don't earn money by telling a patient to eat healthy. They made a bunch of $$$ on all those repeat shots though. I'd be looking for a new doctor. 😢 Glad to hear you're doing better, fibromyalgia is quite debilitating.
Total Carnivore for total health. No meds.
So glad your Mum is better 💐
I m 34 year old male from the uk and I suffer with psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis I started the carnivore diet 12 days ago thanks in part to you sir and a couple others online . I hope it works for me ! Keep up the good work spreading this vital information for free! 🥩🥩🥩🥩
Update, please?
Norwich here 🇬🇧 going to Start carnivore also
What happened?
What a beast, that soft voice is such a counterpoint.
Thank you Dr. Chaffee
Fibromyalgia just means joint and muscle pain. As you said, it’s a title you get when they don’t know why you’re in pain. I have a diagnosis of fibro, RA, chronic fatigue syndrome and celiac disease. My Vit D level was also 6. Low Vit D can also cause pain. I also had chronic headaches with weekly migraines. I went gluten free in 2011 and noticed that if I cheated I hurt bad and felt awful. I’ve researched and worked hard on healing my gut. I started keto a couple yrs and have learned what foods make me hurt and feel awful. Rice, soy, beans, corn, onions, peppers, pretty much all vegetables and all dairy make me hurt. Also there’s an ingredient called Carrageenan in a lot of dairy, lunch meats, rotisserie chicken and whole Turkey, that causes pain, it’s widely known in the RA community. Makes me hurt bad! Changing my diet and taking supplements has given me me a better life. I’m not cured but I feel better, I didn’t have a life at all before. Imagine your wrist bodyaches when you had the flu. That’s how people with fibro & RA feel 24/7. A flu that never goes away.
The ingredient MSG can cause migraines. It’s in a lot of Asian food. Certain lights can trigger a migraine for my kids and I.
I just want to say that Dr. Chaffee is an absolute Angel to the world and I appreciate all your efforts to help Humanity! I predict that you will be one of the biggest stars out there… just keep on doing what you’re doing and it will all come to fruition! God Bless and keep rockin’ it Doc! Praying for you always!
Loved this!
Good to see information like this. Have been carnivore for around a month and even though I am seeing benefits with weight loss, dry skin patches, eyesight, sleep and oral health I am dealing with a number of arthritis-like pains in wrists, and hands and occasionally shoulder. Anyone else dealing/dealt with this? Trying to research feels like going down a rabbit hole as one camp claims red meat increases arthritis risk while another claims major benefits.
Thank you!!! Yes! Ben Patrick is the boss!!! Real deal!
I am a fibromyalgia sufferer and just started Keto about a month ago, working towards going straight carnivore. I appreciate Dr. Chaffee’s empathy towards the plight of fibromyalgia sufferers. Conversely, the lack of knowledge of fibromyalgia displayed by the interviewer was eye-roll worthy as it would be part of any discussion on chronic pain, fatigue, inflammation. Anyway, it would be nice if I could eventually get off this high dose of pregabalin that I’m physically dependent on.
Do you have any progress with dietary intervention with your fibromyalgia?
Fructose has been implicated in fibromyalgia. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5715322/
I too have fibromyalgia. In fact I am in the 8% of a rare kind where I have a stabbing pain resonate in a second area of my body when touch another. I started keto for three years. It helped everything and gave me some fibromyalgia relief. But when I started carnivore last October I had huge relief. I went back to keto and started having pain and brain fog again. So in December I went back to carnivore and stayed there. I feel so much better. I have only had two flair ups since then. Both were after eating seed oils at restaurants. ( they sneak it in). I can't eat at restaurants any more, but I am pain free and it's worth it. Good luck to you. I hope you find relief too. 🙏
@@annietomsik3717I may have to try this as I was looking at trying a keto for Fibromyalgia and ME. I had been a vegan since 2012, and at first I lost lots of weight and was very active and healthy, but then got very tired all the time and in chronic pain. Since 2014/5 ISH. The doctors don't have a solution.
My fibromyalgia is gone after going Carnivore. Pretty sure it was from the oxalates as I still had pain on keto.
Great interview.
I wish I'd known what I know now to help save my mom who's presently in a care home with dementia, arthritis and several other inflammation related ailments, in a wheelchair, immobile in her early 70s. Loved her breads, pastas, sweets, ate all organic, worked out, preached everything natural but was a carb addict hence the results.
I'm sorry about your Mom
Sorry for that Dean, I can relate although my mom is still in a place where she can make the change, but she doesn't want to do it, unfortunately can't always fix em, and you know that desire to fix the people around you is not always healthy. Most of the journey to health is made within, and can't be forced.
This is a long shot, but can you tell them you'd like your mom on a strict carnivore diet (red meat, water and salt only)? Try it for 3-6 months. But if they give her anything else during the day, even a cup of juice, that'll sabotage it.
I can relate to your mom. You can't fault her. I studied nutrition and herbalism and we were taught that "healthy" grains, seeds, legumes, and other carbs, were essential to a healthy diet. Even sugar was acceptable as long as it was raw, evaporated cane juice, honey, agave, and on and on. We've been purposely lied to. And the lie continues.
If you can take her home and feed her meat (only ruminants according to the Peterson's and Ken Berry) along with water and salt. No cheating. You might actually get your mom back. ❤
@@L.J.01 Thank you!
I make milk kefir, water kefir,ACV,sauerkraut and Bulgarian yogurt and my diet is 80% meat, cheese and eggs, i also add these things i make and my knee pain that Dr said I’ll need a replacement for is improved and i have hardly any pain or stiffness now. If i cheat omg i know about it.I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge,thanks a million 🌟👍🏻👏💙🇬🇧
Topic of migraines. I experience migraines when the air quality isn’t great. Fragrances really can set them off for me. I also do better in my own home with a new air filter change monthly and once a year right before the season change into using the a/c I have my ducts cleaned out professionally. Makes a big difference for me.
On a bright note, arthritis caused by accumulation of calcium oxalate crystals is reversible. That and my intermittent eye pain/blurred vision caused by that as well.
I went from all of my joints in pain to just my left hip which was severely impacted in a 30 foot fall back in 2009. My eyes are about 90% better after just over a year and a half. 🙂
Thank you - have autoimmune issues (thyroid) both graves and hositmoto diagnosed and osteo arthritis - have been carivore for 6 weeks - also have allergies - need to do away with allergy shots 💜🙏🏻💜 - so glad 😊 found you! In 100%
Thank you very much for watching! I hope you all got something out of it. Please leave a comment about your experiences with chronic or acute pain and inflammation and the carnivore diet to let others know how it worked for you!
Thank you for the great discussions, really enjoy all your content and your advocacy for the carnivore diet. I have no doubt it could help but would a carnivore diet be as efficient for arthrosis / osteoarthritis vs arthritis, as it is not an auto immune issue that I am aware, I can't really find content for the specific, thanks!
Dr. Chaffee my name is Blake, I have tons of questions about the Carnivore way of life. I'm new to posting comments on CZcams. Could I possibly send an email to you directly?
I was wondering if you have any info on the carnivore diet and CRPS. I really want to try this but I already have vitamin B12, Iron, Folic Acic, and D deficiencies. My doctor says that vegetables give me these vitamins and nutrients my body needs?
@@patriciacollum5153 Actually, red meat gives you far more of these nutrients, and it's more bioavailable. (And the best vitamin D is from the sun, without sunscreen, and fatty fish.)
You only absorb a small amount of nutrients from plant food. Your doctor's info is outdated. If you doubt this, look up the absorption of some specific vegetables, like spinach and a few more, and look up the bioavailability from red meat. Then test your doctor's knowledge to see if he knows this. I'll bet he can't even come close. 😉
You might ask him how many classes (or even hours, lol!) of nutrition he had in medical school. The answer will surprise you. (It's usually one class or less.)
@@hootiebubbabuddhabelly Cool, thanks.
I'm in that category. I have a fibro diagnoses. I never took any of the meds offered for it after I was finally diagnosed and it was clear the rheumatologist who diagnosed me was relieved and also happy that I was working on lifestyle factors and kind of hardcore about that.
With my problems that I think are probably fibro-related the thing I am the most scared of for the future is what I've heard called exercise intolerance. I am a person who isn't scared of much, not heights, not snakes or spiders, not water or closed in spaces. I am not afraid of death. And as it turns out I hate fear. A. Lot. But I am afraid of the backlash and flare ups and future further weakness I've always gotten after exerting myself. I *THINK* that my recovery after movement is improving some with carnivore. Wow. I would love it so much to be able to just do what I want to do including hard things, things that require strength, adrenaline driven things... I would love, love, love that.
Today is day 77. Maybe in the future I can go back to weight lifting and hiking and even climb Stone Mountain again without ending up like an invalid for a week or a month or a year as has been my lifelong history. Oh and mowing the grass. Not that I love to mow the grass. I hate it. I'd far rather shovel out three feet of snow any day compared to having to mow. But at least if for once in my life it wouldn't make me so sick if i had to do it!
Best wishes and Keep up the great work! Using our body and creating endorphins is an important part of life.
You might just need to let your adrenals heal. It takes a long time, and exercises like yoga, swimming, and walking might do you more good right now than hard core workouts that make you tired.
I had to comment. I’ve been so frustrated that I couldn’t mow the grass and do any gardening but after sticking to carnivore I did half the lawn a few days ago with no negative payoff. (A big deal for me) I plan to do the other half tomorrow.
@sherilcarey7100 I am with you on the exercise intolerance. I've made myself ill so many times which takes about 5 days to recover from, that I've stopped trying... and I used to love swimming and running! My dream is to do these things again. Maybe this diet will help. I've started doing Dr Perry Nichelston's lymphatic drainage exercises too which have helped me with stiffness. Some of us have sluggish lymphatic system which causes swelling and pain.
You are 77 days in and no improvement?
I turned 55 this year and have been experiencing much more joint pain and just weird aches and pains in different areas that I couldn't really explain. I started on the carnivore path, removing all the bad stuff from my diet. My aches and pains really went away, although I'm not sure I was conscientiously aware of that until I cheated and had a couple of mixed drinks one weekend. Several of my nagging pains returned and it was like a light switch went off as to where it was coming from. Sadly I was used to having a relaxing drink (or two) every night, but that was part of the problem. Thanks to carnivore I'm feeling so much better. I've noticed that the more strict I am the better I feel. And when I reintroduce other food that I used to eat I can quickly feel a difference for the bad. I didn't realize how much food can effect the way you feel. Now how to conceive others of this. Lol. Thank you to all of you who are trying so hard to spread the word!!!
any luck "convincing others" yet? My approach is to only talk about my activites and experiences in life during a normal conversation with friends... the casual answers to "how are you? what have you been up to?" Sometimes one will say "I wish I had half your energy" or "I could never do that because of my (pain/condition/illness". I kindly deflect with "hardly anybody wants to do what I do to be this well". IF they pursue it farther, I'd briefly mention carbs are poison and make a light offer to help if they want to explore it at another time. In other words, understand that un-asked-for advice is rarely received.
So true if I have a beer around the holidays I end up with an ache in my shoulders and the back of my neck . So not Worth it.
In my 50s, my feet would ache so much I gave up golf. Went low-carb, 40 months ago. Since, my feet ache only the first few steps in the morn.... Now, 5+ mile walks are pain free.
I have had a lot of relief from RA. Thanks Doc for doing what you do. We need more doctors educated on the carnivore way of eating and get past the cholesterol bs.
That's great Joe, I'm really glad to hear that! And yes I agree, this needs to be mainstream medicine asap
@@anthonychaffeemd Make sure you pack heat wherever you go, lots of doctors that tell the truth mysteriously disappear or die in really suspicious ways. It's sad when people who tell the truth need to watch their back because of the traditional medical mafia system we have here in the States.
Great podcast
Thank you!
u are very smart love your videos dr Chaffee
Great video. Just what I needed. Osteoarthritis on carnivore 4 months, but not just meat, salt and water. Maybe that’s what I need to do next.
Great Work. 16 weeks is awesome!
Great info from dr chaffee as usual!
I have AS and he red meat diet and following dr chaffee and a few others, bioneer one for excerise.
My pain and mental attitude are getting better everyday.
It works, i went from remicaid since its inception to canada, 15 yrs?
Now i take naproxen when needed and i am now having days without meds at all. My sleep is getting better, finally got some real rem sleep this last couple days. Been along time, awakened every 1 1/2 hours spasming. Almost went for cortisone last week but it finally relieved on its own.. I walk alot and do the spine exercises daily.
Meat works. Thank you Dr chaffee, i am on a journey and hope more people understand how this all works! Sugar kills. Carbs are sugar.
Knees over Toes and Athletic Truth Group #ATG I am 54 started last April and am AMAZED at the results. Walking backwards every day up hill and doing split squats, Poliquin step ups, hip flexors, Nordic curls, Tibialis raises... I praise God for him, you, Dr. Berry, and Thomas Delauer!!! ❤Thank you🙏
what did those exercises help you with? did you also change your diet?
I'm going to share this with people!!!
Oxalates are found in some plant matter and can cause a lot of issues including fibro and migraines apparently. Worth looking into this 👍
You have absolutely no scientific evidence backing that up.
@Dionysus_Athena I don't, but Sally Norton does. Check her out 👍 You can also keep eating your oxalates if that makes you happy 👍
@@anothercampervanchannel you can listen to idiots that don’t understand science if you wish. I’ll choose to listen to real scientists like Dr Layne Norton.
Thing is, I have my own experience, as do many other folk, so I'll trust that over your scientists, if it's all the same to you 👍
I was told in 08 that I have fibro, RA and chronic fatigue. I was so sick, all I did was sleep. I couldn't take a shower without needing a nap. I take no meds, I actually fired my Rheumatologist because all he wanted to do was hand me a script. A few yrs ago I went to the dr for her help applying for disability because she told me she would help me with the paperwork. I get there and my doc had turned her office over to another dr. This dr told me I was just depressed and suck it up and get an Fn job. Those were exact words to me except she said the full F word. Heartless and unprofessional. I asked her if she had even looked at my file. She said, "Nope and not going to to, I have other patienta to see." I said we're done here and walked out. She yells down the hall, let me know where you want your records sent! I cried all the way home. Thanks to docs like you, I'm feeling so much better eating carnivore.
Hi dr Chaffe ❤ hi from Brisbane. I’m 57 in a few weeks and had “Fibromyalgia’ for 30 years, on top of Scoliosis and worsening degenerative discs. I’ve just started following you and everyone from low carb down under. Been keto for 2 months and now Carnivore for 2 weeks. Finally cutting dairy out as was only carbs I have. Making my own gee instead of butter 😢 ex dairy farmer and miss my dairy. My mental clarity has improved 100% on keto but pain has pushed me to try full carnivore. My legs drive me crazy at night and i try not to take painkillers, give in often, plus use lots of Emulgel. Have had injections to back and sacrum, and turned down antidepressants prescribed by Rheumatologist and pain specialist. The side-effects I have experienced in the past from them makes it not worth it for me as they didn’t really help the pain and just gave me a heap of other symptoms to go along with it. Pleas keep up the good work, i hope I get some relief from new diet ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
Best of luck! I have RA too and on the top tier drugs for it and still researching this carnivore thing as the supposed cure of a whole foods plant based diet I've been doing for the past year just isn't working. My ultimate goal is to get off these meds if at all possible but struggling to get around so many contradictory dietary approaches
I'm so glad to hear that you're doing better! How are you going these days?
@@anthonychaffeemd thanks I’m doing so much better now. Much of my Fibromyalgia symptoms have eased to a point that I can now tell the difference between it and non fibromyalgia symptoms/issues. I have had nerve blockers to my neck and lower back again in February this year and I’m moving around a lot better. The biggest improvement is to my IBS and GERD. I stopped antacids once on carnivore and haven’t looked back. I only get symptoms when I fall off the wagon, which I’m proud to say is not often. I have not been able to stay off coffee ☕️ my major vice. My dairy is minimal.
I was finally able to return to work in June this year after not being reliable enough for over 3 years. I now work nearly full time and turning down work. I still suffer from vertigo episodes out of the blue but my migraines are fewer and further apart. I am also able to keep up with household chores which I struggled with.
Love your work Anthony 💕🥰
@@lisareiter1149 that's so great to hear! I'm very happy for you!
@@lisareiter1149Diluted acv helps with gerd, if you still experience that.
I am in remission from CRPS but looking for the next step to get rid of the pain and discomfort that I'm still experiencing. I've been on carnivore for 5 days now, and last night I was able to lay on my back in bed while my feet where pointed toward the ceiling with the sheet and blanket on top my feet. I was so giddy last night it was hard to sleep.
I had been on an organic diet that would be good for a perfectly healthy person who exercised a lot. I had gluten one meal a week, and it was usually a "healthy" cheat meal. I made huge smoothies in my vita mix every morning with Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, bananas, avocado, and plant protein. Lunch was top-shelf deli meat and cheese with hummus and pickles. Dinner was usually a Chicken Divan with basmati rice, broccoli, carrots, shallots, chicken, and cheese.
With all that in my diet, I could never get back to full remission like I had achieved a while back.
I had to come to the realization I'm not that guy as much as I want to be. I will continue to do my research on this subject and how our gut plays a pivotal role in our biological responses. I plan to stay carnivore the rest of my life, if I see the results I'm looking for. I would like a Cheeseburger, Pizza, and Ice Cream again in the future, hopefully!
I had such severe pain in my hip last summer I could hardly walk. We were going to go to Las Vegas in September and I told my husband that I am so worried because I cannot walk like this. I really got strict about eating healthier and by the time we went my hip was doing better plus it’s very dry down there. Not that Washington state is humid but it just was a lot drier down there. I felt great then holidays came and I ate horribly then in January we went to Arizona for two weeks I ate horribly then and end of February we went to Vegas I ate horribly and my hip started getting worse and worse and worse. I started keto when we got back I did carnivore for April and now in mid May my hip is doing so much better. It’s worth it just for that. Your hips hold so much of your weight and have so much to do with your movement that it’s just not worth having the pain if you can do something as simple as change your diet
That's awesome, I'm so glad!!!
I hope you're still on 100% carnivore
What I don't miss is the old injuries like the doctor says. Broken heel broken toes ripped Achilles. Broken leg Broken fingers Broken ribs and ripped up shoulders plus years of working on my knees in attics and crawl spaces. I use to be so sore every morning but it's gone. Just my hooves now and they are not as bad. And hemroids disappeared quick. It's dumb that doctors didn't figure this out 1000 years ago.
How long did it take for you to start feeling better? I’m 10 days in to the carnivore diet and I suffer chronic pain issues as well.
@@timgoodwintv I noticed about three months in I was getting better. I mean it started letting me know I was never going back to my old way. I'm pushing sixty now and been doing it for 4 years and can say I have not felt this good since my early 20s. The last thing to go away was getting up to pee at night. I've never been happier.
Carnivore has absolutely lessened the muscle contractions I had from an electrical shock injury. The shock shortened the muscles on one side of my upper torso.
Hopefully Carnivore and stretching can reverse this because the contracted muscles cause breathing issues around the torso.
Sometimes we don't know what we don't know. I love your content and what your doing. I think what will help your channel is buying a 4k camera for your thumbnail and also 4k video recorder. I mean No offense to you. Thank's for the great content again.
So nice to see your following growing still. Must be the lefty videos playing in the background 😜🙏💪
I'm not sure about carnivore not reversing damage. Maybe my arthritis isn't at a critical point, but as long as I stay carnivore/ketovore with little to no sugar, I haven't had any issues with my knees or hands. It might be anecdotal but I'll stay in both just for that alone 😊🥳🥰
Hi guys, great info as always. How does someone join your group?
I suffer with fibromyalgia, had hip surgeries, in complete agony all day, every day. Had to stop my medication due to having a baby, and breastfeeding so I’ve just been suffering. Definitely want to try this, I will be so grateful if there’s a natural/safe way to cure this pain👌🏼
I had stem cell therapy on my on my left knee about 13 years ago , in a trial conducted by Sydney Uni and the Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney. It was a total success ; stem cells taken from my abdominal fat and injected into my knee with nothing but a saline solution.
The doctor who ran the trial said Johnson and Johnson was keeping the therapy from becoming publicly available, but also said it was available in Thailand at the American Hospital .
Nothing taste as a good, as living my best life!
After 1 week of carnivore I saw improvement in my autoimmune scalp condition
The knee pain that is caused by cartilage debris in the knee joint, I had that about 10 years ago and that was extremely painful to walk. I had an operation to clean that out luckily.
15:30 Wish more people thought like this. My wife was just taken off her pain medication due to no fault of her own. She was diagnosed with several autoimmune disorders and has been on her medications for more that 20 years. There was never a claim that she was "faking" because it only take one look at her to see even with the medication she is in constant agony. No claims of diversion and has never had an issue with her monthly drug tests but the DEA decided to "talk" to her doctor and now the entire office has implemented a policy of no pain prescriptions for any reason. She has only a couple weeks to find a new doctor and as any of the hundreds of thousands of people who has been in a similar situation that is next to impossible, especially when the person is taking "high doses". Even with what she is currently prescribed she can barely get out of bed to use the bathroom and we have already been told even if she is lucky enough to find a doctor who will prescribe she should be prepared to have her prescription cut by 50% or more. She had tried other diets with little to no success but now that we have heard of this she is going to give it a try. Unfortunately for her I doubt she will see significant improvement quickly enough and will almost certainly end up in the hospital whre she will promptly be kicked out because, like we have been told inc the past "they don't treat pain". I just pray she doesn't end up having a heart attack/ stroke (not an exaggeration) from the combination of immense pain from losing her only source of pain relief and the issue that arise from being taken off those medications when you have been on a consistant high dose for 2 decades +.
I’m nearly sixty and do keto. Six years now. Zero pain. It all went away.
I’m certainly a lot better at nearer 70 than in my 50’s, i used to scream going up or down stairs as i was in agony.I don’t like medications 💊 Another method that helped i saw on a video ‘El Paso Manuel Physical Therapy’ is to tighten your glutes when using the stairs this helped loads too 🤬
I'm here in New Mexico and my friend was looking at knee replacement but I told her to try the stem cell because she has the money to pay for it out of pocket. (I worked at a physical therapy rehab and find that knee replacements are a brutal recovery) My friend had it done in Albuquerque and that was 2 years ago and she's doing very well! I know about it because in my hometown at Colorado State University Veterinary Hospital they use stem cells for race horses and now dogs and have very good results.
I've been carnivore since the new year and one thing I didn't want to quit was coffee, but I did, switching from caffeinated to decaffeinated and then completely cutting it out and then reintroducing it. I didn't seem to have any problems with it so now I'm drinking one cup of caffeinated in the morning with cream however I noticed this week my knees are achey so it's the cream or the caffeine because my knees didn't bother me when I was drinking decaf😒
It's the cream
@@invisibleman7971 Not necessarily, i am quite dairy sensitive and have knee and and ankle issues too but a dash of cream doesnt do anything - coffee however does some strange things… i gave it up. Happier now, coffee is just another drug.
@@jksinorbit my drug of choice!
even sour cream I get a pain flare but I do eat 300mls. Oooops!
Cernovich tweeted kot guy. Amazing!
There's reports of treating fibromyalgia with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, where unresolved/unremembered psychological trauma surfaced and greatly reduced the symptoms once dealt with.
That's interesting, I haven't come across that yet. Diet makes a massive difference though, completely gets rid of the body's inflammation and excess pain. Absolute game changer
It has been found that hyperbaric oxygen can help some fibro/ms sufferers but not all and the area is in need of much greater research x
The istaelis are doing research with hyperbaric oxygen and fibromyalgia chronic fatigue and long covid. Their theory is the neurological pathways are wounded and the oxygen heals the wound. I’m way over simplifying. Plus it is very inflammatory. But I think the carnivore will persist with cellular cleanup more than hyperbaric oxygen.
At the end of the video you guys mention getting in on coaching from you two!! I'd love to do the 30 day challenge, how do I get involved?
I have had fibromyalgia for over a decade or more. 1 month carnivore. Hope it helps stop the pain and fatigue. That's all I want is an end to the pain
I understand, have had fibromyalgia for 32 years. Get very discouraged. Started carnivore today...
Interesting that you mention chinese food, I always feel unwell after eating it. It’s the cheap seed oils they use. I now make my own using olive oil., to my surprise it tastes pretty good. I only buy the best quality olive oils and never use margarine, only butter. I loved this video, thank you both.
I’m also a fibromyalgia sufferer, I’ve just come out of a flare up, but suffer pain every day. I’m now on veggie juice, meat and vegetables only, I’ve cut out grains and sugar. However I’m seriously thinking carnivore.
I also used to have frequent migraines and almost daily headaches. Strict Carnivore completely eliminated all migraines and headaches for me. I think migraines are cerebral dehydration. Even before Carnivore, I could greatly reduce migraine severity by drinking 64oz of Gatorade or Gatorade Zero.
Wow, interesting, I also had chronic headaches for a long time every day until reducing carbs, I'm slowly transitioning to carnivore and improving, I notice that if I eat any strong carb even the "clean" kind I get a headache... Ate some dates this morning because I had nothing else to eat, immediately throbbing headache within minutes. Do you notice the same if you ever eat anything non carnivore? I'm only 25 btw, my headaches were very atypical and severe, started after covid.
I understand that you're saying that inflammation is the main cause of pain. You also mentioned that it is the bones that have all the nerve ending and the cartilage is avascular. My question is, why do you have no pain in your knee/patella as you referenced? If you are bone on bone. Wouldn't that = pain? I'm not challenging you at all, asking to understand better. Hope to hear back! Thanks for all the info you share! 🙏🙏
Ben Patrick is freaking amazing
Knees Over Toes Guy
I was all excited this would help my Fibromyalgia but then 2 weeks in I started getting neuropathy symptoms and looked up that it might be too much uric acid. I ate a few carbs and it went away. What do you do for that?
Sorry to hear that. Some people can also have issues with oxalate dumping. Take a look at Sally Norton's work for more on that. I've interviewed her on my channel as well. Urea will go up on carnivore from the increase in protein, but that's actually good for you as it is one of our strongest antioxidants. I would still try to do it, but you may need to ease into it rather than going cold turkey. So focus on fatty meat, and have a little bit of low oxalate foods, ie less than 100mg per day total, and see how you go. If you need some carbs, fine, but try to reduce them and finally eliminate them because they disrupt a lot of key processes in your body, like ketone production, and higher ketones reduce inflammation and thereby pain from fibromyalgia
I had migraines 2x weekly going into menopause. Eating only meat and eggs took them completely away! I always thought they were mostly caused from the sunlight.
Thanks!
Hey @anthonychaffeemd do you have any advice for body building regarding and supplements or your routine with diet around working out? are you working out fasted? thank you
TMS, tension myositis syndrome.
Anybody remember that?
It's more definitive than fibromyalgia.
The pain is real because it's caused by real tension.
I’m late here, but… I was diagnosed with arthritis and scoliosis and degenerated discs. By the time they had me up to 4 oxycodone a day and I was still hurting horribly all the time, I got desperate! Five weeks into Carnivore and I’m down to two pills a day and inflammation and pain is significantly decreasing! Can’t wait to be off of this poison completely!!!!🙏🥰🥰🥰
That's brilliant! Keep at it. Thats encouraging to read how youve managed to reduce your pain medication as from what I understand theyre quite potent. I'm just restarting my carnivore journey, i came off it for a while and I'm back on cocodomal and my inflammation has returned. Im only a week in full carnivore, next month ill start a taper. Your words are encouraging, thank you.
I wish the best of luck and complete success!!! Hopefully that inflammation will be gone in no time!🙏😊😊😊😊 it’s totally worth it to go Carnivore!!!
So in the last few months I've noticed that I am frequently in pain. I've been regularly weight training for over a decade but now it seems I'm more easily injured and have aches and pains. On top of that, my wrists, hands, joints in my fingers are achy. My grip strength is diminishing. I recently went hiking and my toes are achy. This is all new to me. I should say since my twenties I have a blood marker for rheumatoid arthritis but never had any symptoms until now so I never got a diagnosis. On top of all of this, I recently went low carb. Not keto. I don't count carbs, I focus on high quality protein and fats. My carbs come from veggies and a small amount of berries. I cut out all seed oils (except restaurant food- I get on average 1 meal a week), all processed garbage and all added sugar besides my daily square of 80% dark chocolate. My diet is so much better than the SAD and what I ate previously. It's resulted in weight loss. And it's been an adjustment that I can see easily sticking to for life. Having said all of this, you would think that if omega 6's, grains, legumes ect.. are the culprit, why haven't I seen any improvement in my symptoms since I largely cut them all out? I'm open to trying carnivore after this summer (travelling- too difficult to stick to) and see if that makes a difference but it seems to me low carb is correlated with an increase in my pain symptoms. It could however just be coincidental as well. That is, my symptoms were going to happen regardless of diet.
That’s a very good observation. I have been on Keto for at least 2 years. I eat mostly chicken, fish (salmon) and occasionally red meat. I keep red meat low because I read there is a chemical in it that can cause inflammation. I rarely eat fruit and if I do it’s berries (strawberries, and blueberries). I do have 2 cups of coffee w/half & half (one caffeine, one decaf) per day. I don’t eat any seed oils, legumes or grains and my trips to restaurants are 1x per week. It’s always Japanese food….sashimi and plain salad. I stay away from condiments and usually eat my salads without any dressings, including olive oil/vinegar…..just plain. Most of my veggies are steamed and I add a little butter. My carb count is very low usually below 15g per day (sometimes lower). I ingest between 70-80% fats and about 20% protein. Carbs come in around 5%. Basically, my keto diet is closer to carnivore. Recently, I’ve begun to have increasing aches and pains in my joints. I was just wondering if you tried carnivore and saw any improvements in your symptoms? Like you, I was also wondering if low carb correlated to increase in my aches and pains or if the very low carbs I still do eat are causing the inflammation? I’m still on the fence about doing full blown carnivore especially for this reason. Would love to hear any experiences or insights you have had since posting your comment 10 mos. ago. Thanks!
I get tension Headaches. When I went on Keto I would still get a headache,but I could take something and it would go away. Before I could have a headache for 2 to 3 days all that went away.
Thanks...now I know where my arthritis came from...martial arts and poor diet. I am now Keto, but moving quickly into carnivore. I would add that for people facing joint replacement or back surgery (not me) to try Prolozone injections as well as LLLT (cold) laser therapies, in addition to a carnivore diet. Thank you
Anyone with syringomyelia tried carnivore? Have you seen any benefits? It's not an autoimmune disorder as such, but inflammation plays a significant role in it's effects.
When I was in my late teens early 20s I used to get migraine headaches. I discovered, by accident long story, that caffeine made the migraines go away. And if I had a cup of coffee when I felt the onset of a migraine I never got the migraine. I've had a cup of coffee everyday since. I'm over sixty years old and still no migraines.
Few of the carnivore discussions (Shawn Baker, Anthony Chaffee, Ken Berry, et al) talk about or compare grass fed-grass FINISHED meat…esp beef. Some brief podcast references allude to grass finished vs Stockyard grain finished and conclude that grass finished has better nutrient/vitamin content. I hear nothing about whether it might be bad to continuously eat beef which has been fattened in the stockyard and therefore whose meat/fat contains the residue of stockyard grains . Logically, those residues wouldn’t be good for us.. We are cautioned to be wary of eating a farm raised fish (e.g.salmon) because the flesh will retain certain unhealthy elements of its food. Does anyone actually know whether, over the long run, it might be unhealthy to be a carnivore ingesting all red meat, poultry, eggs & fish that has been “farmed” over pastured or wild?
I’m in constant pain due to a prolapsed disc in back l5s1, and their is nothing worse but I’ve found i not losing weight, however my mobility isn’t great and my lack of exercise is a big issue !
just watched this and at the end you mention a 30 day carnivore challenge. Where can I find more info on this?
I. was healthy. My husband and I went carnivore 4 weeks ago. Lost weight and felt great at first. Then severe inflammation and fatigue set in. I had been on keto, so it's not fat adaptation. I discovered it was oxalate dumping. You should address that.
My daughter introduced me to your forum, bless you both! I am transitioning to a carnivore diet. I had gastric bypass 4 years ago. I have lost 165 lbs, I have maintained that loss but still do not feel, other than there is less to carry, any healthier. I still struggle with ailments from MS, arthritis, asthma, venous stasis, and elhers danlos , to name a few. My question is, would you as a physician and nutritionally speaking recommend carnivore for a gastric bypass patient? Thank you so much for your time!
How are you doing now? Did you stay withit?
I'm definitely not a doctor but I would think that since meat is more nutritious than almost any other food you should be fine especially if eating the really fatty cuts like ribeye
Another thing, thought I was gonna have to do something with my rotator cup from a Martial Arts injury. Couldn’t even do push-ups without pain. Spread your feet apart shoulder with and it distributes to weight and I have zero pain.😊
My uncle is about 140lb too heavy 67 yrs old and has serious knee pain, I need a simple book recommend to help him get on carnivore
My husband has had amazing results bringing his leukocyte count down having been told he would need to commence chemo. I would like to make comment though to please be careful in advising people to push through pain. I am one of those who lived my life pushing (incorrectly) and ended up with spondylolisthesis and a subsequent fusion I am still recovering from…. 🙏
