I am 67 and have PPMS, diagnosed in 2004. Bedridden for near 10 years, but carnivore seems to be helping. Digestion and constipation, high B/P, vision problems, tremors, all much better after 10 months, don’t expect instant results.
Wow thank you for sharing that’s really interesting! Glad you’ve seen some improvements and hopefully they can continue because as you say it has only been a relatively short period of time.
@Poire Tartin I eat almost exclusively beef and eggs, my favourite is roast beef. I use a lot of ghee and sea salt, drink water and that’s about it. I try to maintain a ketosis level of 6.5; keep that high for healing.
@Poire Tartin My ketosis is high, the lowest is 0.5 the highest wanted for weight loss is often said to be 3, 3 - 5 for therapeutic levels and 5-10 for healing autoimmune. Dr. Stephen Phinney has a lot of videos on ketosis and healing. I have healed a lot and still have a ways to go.
I have two types of arthritis and psoriasis. At night I can only sleep 2 to 3 hrs. at a time due to pain. I started the Carnivore diet a week ago. Pain has decreased. Last night I slept 8 hrs, this is the best I've felt in a long time. The rheumatologist has me on all kinds of dangerous drugs that never gave any relief. One week on the Carnivore diet has done more for me than years of drugs. 😊❤
Been on Carnivore Diet for 10 days my asthma is better my brain is clear all body pain gone lost 11lbs everything has improved my energy level is amazing. I am wearing my 7yr old son out we jog together and I haven't been able to run or jog in at least a decade! So worth it....all I can say is please try it please? It helps I'm living proof ❤❤❤
Gosh, so many positive comments. Excited, on day 7. Lost 5 lbs 1st wk. My reasoning tho, is hoping health gets better, multiple auto-immunes. Did this for a decade, 15 yrs ago, its past time to get healthy again. 🎉
I have been on the Carnivore diet for 60 days and am feeling so much better already. I have had MS for 15 years and have always tried to follow a healthy lifestyle. I had good success with a nutritional keto diet some years ago where my walking ability improved hugely. I could even walk without my stick. Keto is hard work but I am finding Carnivore so incredibly simple. I had been mostly plant based for 7 years and was just getting worse. I had two relapses. My body is loving Carnivore so far. I am excited to continue to experience improvements. I know it will take some time for things to heal fully.
That's amazing to hear! From everything I have researched it makes so much sense to go carnivore from an autoimmunity point of view. Great to hear that it is working so well for you. Have you noticed any other effects? Better sleep, mood, energy things like that? I definitely want to give it a go at some point, it is just very expensive!
@@tomgarbett77 There was some disruption in the first couple of weeks mainly to sleep but everything is super sweet now. I have amazing energy all day and don’t have to take myself to bed at 6pm 😂 I even woke up this morning feeling awesome! Definitely elevates my mood. I can (and more importantly want to) do regular workouts. I am introducing fasting next week so am excited to see the results of that. I can recommend the programme Steak and Butter gal runs every month with Raymond Nazon. It really helps with the understanding. Hope it all goes well for you 🥰
@@HaloSaints You can try cheese and see how you feel. I just started eating carnivore this week, having had MS for 25 years. I'm focusing on beef but have fish, eggs, butter and a tiny bit of cheese. I plan to do a minimum of 3 months but most likely 6 months on the diet. Once my body has gotten used to being off sugar, in a few weeks, I will start experimenting with things like cheese, egg, etc. to see if I do better without them.
@@SusanGaskin I’ve been going on it too. I definitely notice some joint pain I wasn’t having prior to eating the cheese. When I shop again I’ll cut the cheese and go more meat. I’m mostly eating beef and drinking water.
I started watching Paul Saladino when changing my diet. He likes eating fruits with meat also, but fruits still come from plants. There are still to some degree oxalates in fruit. I really focus on watching Dr. Anthony Chaffee, Dr. Shawn Baker and Dr. Ken Berry.
Yeah it's interesting. I have started the diet similar to Paul Saladino, however I am limiting my fruit and honey and not going overboard, so mainly I am eating meat and fat and I am feeling great! I do respect the likes of Dr Anthony Chaffee and the other doctors you mentioned for their stricter approach but I wanted to keep fruits in initially to help my body ease into it
Ah great! Would love to know how you get on. It is something I really want to try but it is difficult right now financially, but I definitely will be giving it a god at some point as I am almost certain it will help. So many people have seen dramatic effects of doing the carnivore diet for autoimmune issues.
Look into the FODMAP diet and how it limits fruit. Look into the histamine causing powers of fruit. Look into the role fruit plays in producing uric acid.
I made a comment a few months ago about linoleic acid (seed oils ) and the mitochondria . Paul saladino also has a lot of infos about those . I was hoping at the time that you’d somehow found his videos . Glad you did !
Yes thank you! Your comment definitely contributed to me educating myself further in this area! But yes seed oils really are awful for our health from what I can find. It's shocking it has found its way into so many of our foods. But yes Paul Saladino is great, so thorough when it comes to backing up his points on the carnivore diet. Are you currently on a carnivore diet?
Yes I’m currently on an animal based diet ( mostly meat and organs with some fruits). Beware of the transition period when you switch to a carnivore diet . You gotta go slowly and not completely switch overnight. The science behind it is because your mitochondria can’t really burn your body fat due to level of PUFA’s accumulation . They have been depending on carb to burn energy . If you take away the carb and your body fat is inaccessible , you’ll experience the “keto flu “ , it’s gonna be brutal .
Several independent investigations have demonstrated mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency in MS, as well as abnormalities in mitochondrial transport. These processes create an energy imbalance and contribute to a parallel process of progressive neurodegeneration and irreversible disability.
@@AT-yl6kc Yes that is one thing I am wary of. I feel I am in a good position because I intermittent fast everyday as well as doing prolonged fasts of 24 hours or more periodically and so I feel as though I am relatively fat adapted. Would you suggest then that over the first week perhaps, I keep carbs relatively high by eating more fruit, to make the transition easier?
@@tomgarbett77 yes I would advise to keep the carbs in the first few weeks (don't put a timeline on it, it may 1 weeks or more let your body decides). More importantly though it would be to greatly increase your saturated fat consumption (Ghee, butter, fat from steaks, fat trimming). I think I sent you an email about how the mitochondria react greatly to saturated fat vs PUFA's. On that note beware of too much rendered fat (liquid fat) including butter and Ghee, it has a laxative effect. What I did to be able to consume a lot of butter without that issue was to use a bit of bread (I know but I don't let good be the enemy of perfect) to soak/bind the butter in the first few weeks. There is also the issue of levels of PUFA's in chicken and pork due to them being monogastric animals and the feed they gets (soys and grain) I thought you ought to know. It's a lot of info I know but I wish you good luck. "The immune system is an orchestra of players fundamental in the body’s defense against infections and harmful pathogens. Mitochondria, are the supreme conductors. In the last decades, several studies revealed that mitochondria control a wide variety of innate and adaptive immune signaling pathways, including immune cell metabolism, proliferation, and differentiation."
maybe when we have been eating plants for a long time a they have given us side effects but we don’t recognize these side effects and we just accept them not knowing what they are doing to us
A lot of people can eat plants without problems, my take on it is that if you have a goor microbiome, it can detoxify the lectins and oxalates and everything. BUT if you're microbiome is screwed ( glyphosate, antibiotics etc ) then carnivore diet can help you out a lot
Interesting let us know how it works for you if you try. I have never been a big meat eater so this would be a challenge. Eat a lot of leafy greens, have split spinach with Kale to cut down oxalates. need to cut back Almonds and cashews and add in more pecans, pistachios, walnuts, pumpkin. Always learning thank you for the video
Yes will certainly keep you updated! But yes I certainly don't think it would be for everyone, and I also believe some people will be able to tolerate plants much better than others. But yes I definitely think you are wise in looking to switch which plants you are eating.
I have been on the carnivore way of eating for a little over a year. And I am 76. I cured myself of arthritis and diabetes and eczema. I will not go back to eating the sad diet
Anything's worth a try but it might be difficult for you to gauge if the carnivore diet is working for you since you thankfully haven't been experiencing any symptoms or flare-ups?
Yes indeed! Well what I think I will gauge it on is other things I have issues with like my eczema and troubles sleeping. Also I still have some residual symptoms (occasional tingling) that if it were to go when trying this diet, could really convince me to continue full time! Have you ever considered trying it?
@@tomgarbett77 I'm pretty much following the Wahl's protocol and seem to be doing well although like you I do experience some residual symptoms like tingling and occasional weakness in the area I experienced my first heavy relapse (right arm). Maybe I'll give it a go, just need to do more research.
@@beastywild ah nice. Yes it’s difficult to get your head around when the whals protocol advocates a large amount of vegetable consumption! But the success stories have really peaked my interest, and to me I think it would be easier to follow than the whals protocol. How do you find it?
Little contradictory, you say the poison is in the skin and seeds but then say you should eat fruit where the seeds are so the get distributed around when animals poop them out???
I believe he was talking about tomatoes and their skin and seeds, how originally we would have removed both before consuming. Nightshade plants. The fruit is different because they are made to be attracted and eaten to pass the seeds out & on to regrow. Clever plants really.
There are many testimonials now of MS patients improving on a carnivore diet.

@@jimdavis7671 This sounds great Jim, I will definitely be looking into this a little more as I prepare to try and carnivorous/ ketogenic diet!
I hope you're continuing to improve.

Always inspired by your continued journey to battle this darn disease! Thanks as always. Kerry
Ahh thank you Kerry! But yes I will find a way to beat it!
Dr. Ken Berry on UA-cam.
I just started carnivore hoping to heal from ms
Ah great! Would love to know how you get on. It is something I really want to try but it is difficult right now financially, but I definitely will be giving it a god at some point as I am almost certain it will help. So many people have seen dramatic effects of doing the carnivore diet for autoimmune issues.
Do you still do it?
Keep it going you’re doing great!
I do have MS been doing carnivore for two months now. Walking is improved significantly!!

Yeah my bad! Fixed this on other videos though 🤣
Would love to hear more about your story and whether carnivore works for you
I've been delaying starting, but when I do I will definitely share my results!
@@tomgarbett77 Please start. No more delaying. I just started on Monday. Have had MS for 25 years and this seems really promising for us.
