A few months ago I suddenly became very sick. I spent several weeks in bed and sent my young child to stay with family. Doctors had no answers. It's been 9 days since I started eating red meat only. Ive lost 21 pounds of swelling in my joints, I can walk, and my daughter is back home. I was literally dying. My family would gasp when they saw me sick. I am so happy to be healing. 🙂
You've may had candida overgrowth which made you that sick but the carnivore diet choice is great, however I would do healthy Keto and add supplements to assist with condition
My daughter has MS, I had read about diet vs standard treatment for MS. I told her to change her diet immediately. She did and the results are amazing. Her first MRI showed several lesions. Two were large with halos. After two years of eating a Paleo diet she had another MRI, (she had to fight with her specialist to get that MRI). The images showed most of the smaller lesions were GONE. The two large ones with halos had decreased in size. She's had NO symptoms of MS for five years. She treats her MS through diet and exercise. Her Nueorologist poo pooed the idea of diet when my daughter was diagnosed. Now she is a believer that diet can be a treatment for MS.
Thank you so much for this precious information,please is that carnivore diet? Can you mintier what she eats please? And what’s her blood type? Thank you so much I got some hope from your incredible comment
I have MS. I went Carnivore 11 weeks ago. I'm off of every supplement I used to take, every prescription drug, and I had an appointment with my specialist today - despite three lesions on my spine and a brain that looks like swiss cheese on an MRI, I am completely symptom free. I was smiling and lively in a way the doctor had never seen me and he remarked, it was as if he was only meeting me for the first time today. I refused the next rituxan infusion. It's amazing what can happen when you feed your DNA what it expects from its environment. Thank you for your work, Doctor!
What is your blood type? I wonder why some people get better when they go off all meat. Could it be those O’s like me, just thrive on keto and A’s do best on organic veggies
Thank you George for encouragement! I have MS too and seems to be worse (numbness in knee now) and Dr wants me on Rituxan too - I’m going to try carnivore at least for awhile like you! Did you lose any weight or don’t need to? What about fasting too?
I cannot stress enough how grateful I am tht you shared your experience with us. My mom has MS, and this is gold for us. I want to help her out as much as I can. I will help her transition to Carnivore and let you all know after 90 days in it. God bless you!
I have 10 autoimmune conditions. After trying every type of diet, I started Carnivore to improve my Crohn's symptoms. To my amazement, within 24 hours, my asthma disappeared, restless leg syndrome, acid reflux, indigestion and several other things just stopped! After 4 months I went back onto a 'normal' gluten-free diet as I was worried about bowel cancer. Immediately all these symptoms came back again! So now I'm back on Carnivore.
Common sense doctors, scientists n specialists in this sphere argue that RED MEAT DOES NOT CAUSE CANCER. Sad American diet 😢with loads of GPS (grain, potatoes n SUGAR) Lead to metabolic disease and cancer. Meat does not cause colon cancer
@cespo77 I'm still sticking with carnivore as I get ill when I leave it. The only treatment I have is Adalimumab injections (one a week) which keeps my inflammation under control. But I was really suffering with severe asthma and other stuff which has disappeared on carnivore so, apart from diarrhoea, I have no pain or symptoms currently. Long may it last!
Dr. Berry, I started following you a while ago because I ran across your keto videos, and because you're one of my Nashville neighbors. I also spoke to one of my doctor friends (chiropractor/physiotherapist/nutritionist) in Nashville about you as well, and he spoke very highly of you. I was diagnosed with "cluster autoimmune disorder" almost 10 years ago, at the age of 29. First it was hoshimoto's, then celiac, then they linked the life long anemia to autoimmune... After that it was narcolepsy, then when they started mentioning probable MS, I just quit going to the doctor. It was too much and nobody was giving me any answers as to why or any solutions. I changed my diet, cut out all hydrogenated vegetable fats and all gluten and grains except for rice, and it did make me feel "better". I didn't feel as if I was dying anymore at least. I've tried keto quite a few times, would lose a little weight, but put it back on eventually, usually in a trauma situation with lots of stress, like the loss of a close family member. 5 days ago, I convinced myself to try going full carnivore. I'm in tears as I type this because I can't believe how much better I already feel. Quite frankly, in the most simple terms I can come up with... you have saved my life, and I could never thank you enough for making this information available. You are such a blessing to so many suffering people.
Amazing that's awesome keep going I'm almost 2 yrs and I've suffered horrible migraines since age 10 and I feel great...keep at it...don't go back to plants ....check out Dr Berrys friend Dr. Paul Saladino...talk about plants warfare on our bodies
@@ninawildr4207 Yes! Thank you.... I found Dr. Saladino also from videos he has done with Dr. Berry and had planned on ordering the updated version of his book this week. I just made the comment to a friend today that I haven't had a headache in 5 days, and very little heartburn as well. That's just simply amazing to me. I've always known my body craved meat, specifically beef, but I assumed that it was due to my chronic anemia... I wasn't willing to give it up, despite what doctors like Dr. Gundry claimed. I knew I needed it, even after being told it caused inflammation. So I have tried to always eat good grass fed/finished meat whenever I could. Limited the veggies and plants that I was told would cause problems with my thyroid but that wasn't enough... In only a few days, I feel like my head is above water and I'm out of a fog that I've been in for close to 2 decades. I'm in shock, honestly and I know it will only get better from here!
Sounds like your Cluster Autoimmune Disorder is the same as my MMCTD, (Mixed Multiple Connective Tissue Disease.) I present with symptoms of both Sjogrens and Reynaud's. Every person w/ MMCTD can present with symptoms of the multi-verse of A.I. disorders.
Dr. Ken Berry,I can not discuss anything I learned from you, with my doctor . She rolls her eyes and says: you are listening to the You-tube Doctor again, in a very condescending voice . I am unable to find another rheumatologist in my area, they are as rare as gold . We do not live in a small town, but they are just not practicing here . I am suffering too much to go on with her recommendations, which look nothing like yours . I will try this diet as a last resort , maybe it will help ease my pains and stop further deformation of my joints. I am at a point where I have trouble doing the mundane, ordinary things in life . Just holding a toothbrush and removing the cap from the t-paste hurts, thanks for the good info ! Barbara.
Barbara i have RA. Went keto March 2019. Lost over 60lbs. Midsummer last yr started to eat lots and lots of meat. So muvh conflicting info when your trying to to get better. It as definitely helped my pain,flares and just all around! Started seeing a new Dr cause of insurance. Told her my way of eating and expressed a interest in getting off some meds. Well...she told me where she was trained and what she follows and if i was looking for anything other than her protocol i was at the wrong place!!! Cant change Dr yet but will! Bottom line,Cut out sugar ,bad oils, carbs ,lectins and nightshades. I wish you the best.
Oh i forgot once you get the hang of it try 18/6 fasting also helps. Ive only had a few flates in the last yr. The last 1 im sure was brought on by stress with all this covid19 .
@@janellsmith-bubb7305 thank you very much ! My diet choices are well researched . However I have been eating big salads , maybe I should eliminate those .
@@bgueberdenteich5206 I only eat cauliflower,Brussel sprouts, cabbage,mushrooms and broccoli maybe once or twice a month. This summer i ate strawberries and blue berries as a wonderful treat. I wont get to have them for a yr so i enjoyed them. Now maybe ill do less veggies and see what my joints say! Always always learning .Again best wishes
Whenever I need to strengthen my resolve and feel uplifted, I just pick one of Dr. Berry's videos, listen to the advice, then read the comments from the many people who have followed his advice and who are feeling better, stronger, and healthier.
Hello Dr Berry, I also suffer from autoimmune disorders, diabetes, hypothyroid and horrible gastric/digestive problems. I am very encouraged by you and other physicians that are saying positive things about the carnivore diet. I am on day two of an all meat diet and I finally have hope. I want to be able to work again, I've been very sick for ten years. Thank you for all that you do and I'm now one of your subscribers. ♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍 God bless you!!!
@@CH-qc1zt I have cheated a little bit but I'm trying to remain gluten free and low carb. I have noticed positive changes with less inflammation and joint pain and my digestive issues are slowly getting better. I also notice that my eyes are no longer red all of the time. I'm going to try and be more strict with my diet for even greater benefits. My blood sugar levels are also much better even without taking medication. I think the diet is very much worth trying. Best of luck to you.
@@bradje12 I have noticed an improvement in my digestion with less bloating and gas and a slight improvement with inflammation. My body weight has remained consistent but weight loss was not a concern for me. My blood sugar levels are much more consistent and naturally lower without the need for injections. I do see positive changes and shopping for food is much quicker and simplified. I do cheat from time to time but much less than I used to. I overall see benefits from this diet hands down and fully recommend it especially for people with diabetes. Hope this helps. Cheers
I am going to pray for everyone 🙏 on this page.i was told about this last year @80yrs old.I know God hears our prayers. Hold on for our healing.God Bless.
You mean masking your condition with a pill. If the pills are so great, why do you always need a refill? Why do these pills cause other issues down the road? Doctors don't care about you. If everyone was healthy, they'd be out of business.
Gout, high blood pressure, arthritis, Hydradenitis Supperativa, depression, endometriosis, anxiety, obesity, IBS, all have been reversed by going carnivore. I used to weigh 532 pounds I now weigh 342 thanks to carnivore 🙏
I'm 2 months in and feeling amazing. I'm down 45lbs already and all my ache and pains are gone completely. I feel fresh and energetic throughout the day and feeling strong 💪🏻. Keep up the great work and I think of story's like yours to keep this road to health. Oh I almost forgot to say that my high blood pressure is now back to normal. 2 Months!! Lol wild
5th week in. Rheumatoid arthritis symptoms almost not noticeable. Have lost 19 kgs.blood pressure meds cut in half so far and doctor is monitoring with a view to remove diuretic meds. Uric acid levels have actually dropped on carnivore diet. I feel so much better.
PLEASE CONTINUE YOUR RESEARCH!!! I literally said to a friend this week, every time I eat "healthy" I feel sick. I am a vegetarian for decades with 7 different autoimmune diseases, Hashimoto, Lupus, Psoriasis, Alopecia, and a few others. I was diagnosed with Lupus while I was a vegan. Thank you for this info today, because I have suspected for a very long time, that all the plant based eating I have been doing is making me sick...but I couldn't make sense of it! I just thought my body and I had a really, really bad relationship. Please keep going and sharing information. thanks again...:)
Wow!! The “first” understandable reason for the autoimmune process!!! And I am a retired medical professional. Thank you!!! You are helping so many people, including me!
I've been carnivore for 6 weeks now. Before, I had a rash on my face and on my chest (along with joint pain and a bunch of other less-than-ideal conditions). Yesterday I felt like having stuffed vine leaves, just 4 of them (one little side dish), for the first time in 6 weeks. Stuffed vine leaves are stuffed with rice. Today my skin rash is back after 6 weeks. My face is all red and itchy. I'm not eating carbs ever again.
I have 4 of the autoimmune diseases you listed. I have done AIP diet and had moderate results and I was extremely happy with those results. I have a friend that introduced me to the carnivore way of eating. After 7 days my joints have stopped hurting and I have more energy, plus the bonus of losing 10kg!
@@giselarios9985 I have an autoimmune condition called Still’s disease (a form of arthritis) and I can’t gain weight either . Instead, I lose it too quickly 😓
I've suffered for years and have never heard any of this before. Thank you so much. God guided me to your channel, I'm sure of it. God bless you doc. Please create more content about this. Auto immune diseases of an kinds are so common now and many of them are life limiting and life altering. It's made me disabled and old before my time. I have shed buckets of tears over all the things this disease has done to me. I thank God for leading me to your channel. 🙏
First of all thank you. I will try to keep this as brief as possible. Just wanted to tell you of my experience. IN 2013 I was diagnosed with (MCTD) Mixed Connective Tissue Disease. I struggled with my health, for the last ten years. I retired in Oct 2022.... 29 days later I had a life threatening event. I was life flighted to a major Nevada hospital and was put into the IC facility for 2 days on a ventilator. Over last three years I was under the care of a major university Utah specialist, all to no avail. Last November I went to a local Dr. in my area. I was having high blood sugar issue and he recommended going on the low carb or Keto diet. Needless to say my MCTD has almost completely disappeared! I am able to exercise again, and have had my MCTD symptoms almost completely disappear. At one time I was on 25 MG of Prednisone, and was even having 1000 MG IV infusions every 3 months. Been a subscriber a few years, and would like to thank you for all your good information!
IBS, Hashimotos, MS and I am doing so much better now. I've been Carnivore for two years... won't ever go back to eating veg or carbs. Listen to Dr. Berry... he knows his stuff!
Aleesha thank you for sharing - I’m suffering with MS symptoms today like never before (burning legs) so going to try strict Carnivore- sounds like it helps most...
@@julieswhirled9532 you'll have some relief immediately but remember it took a long time for your body to get here so gift it time to heal and recover. my MS symptoms are super mild and i'm almost 3 years into this way of eating
Omg dr Berry is this for real?? I have been diagnosed with lupus and the last couple months i have been having Huge flares (i have never experienced anything like it) and this happened in relation to me Starting a new healthy diet eating salads including Exactly those vegetables you mentioned in the video!! I have been having sprouts and legumes EVERY DAY!!! Omg thank god for this video! ⭐️
He could add Parkinsons. A paper at Researchgate I just found cites that protein misfolding and abnormal protein synthesis are a BIG part of Parkinsons. If this doctor's sources are correct, avoiding specific Nonprotein Amino Acids, as he suggests, would also starve Parkinsons of the metabolic components required to progress further.
Dr. Berry should also add CIDP....Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Poly-Neuropathy. It's an autoimmune disease where your body attacks and destroys the myelin sheath off neurons in the legs, etc.
Boom! - drop the mike. This might be one of your best and most important videos. Im an RN trained heavy in bio-chem and never heard of this. Explains so much and makes so much sense. Had no idea and never thought about the nutritional resources crossing over from the vet field. Makes sense since so many meds are used back and forth between the medical and vet world. Im digging into this research deep. Thank you and yes I am a patron because I believe in what you are doing and for the research you bring to my attention.
Let me add one more.... Diverticulitis...my Twin sons are 39 yrs old and they learned by trial and error trying different diets and discovered that eating basically carnivore has changed their life dramatically...also eating organic grass fed beef...if they stray too far from carnivore they suffer immensely. I think this information is priceless.... Thank you Dr. Berry and God bless! Preach the real truth!!!
Same for me! The flare ups with the sharp pains that made me double over in severe pain are gone. I thought I would have to accept it for the rest of my life. It started helping me pretty quickly too. By 3 months, I had no pain at all. I'm almost up to a year on this diet and have been able to add some foods I couldn't have before, but there are things indo have to stay away from entirely and I accept that I won't be able to have thise things anymore. The diet keeps me plenty satisfied and I don't even crave those thZmsings at all anymore.
Thank you Dr Ken, I did 16 months Keto and in February this year I began Carnivore. I’m Celiac, had high blood pressure and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Since I have been eating Carnivore I have no Arthritic pain, Celiacs is getting better and I feel my blood pressure has improved. As well as my health you have helped my bank account 😘 Saving a fortune not buying rubbish!!! Feel the best ever in 60+ years. 👏🏻
What does your food budget look look like if you'd be willing to share, I have started carnivore recently but I am disabled and having a hard time affording to stick with it. Any recommendations are truly appreciated ❤️❤️❤️
Ray R Ray, when I started I thought the same, this way of eating was going to break me financially. I must admit I did eat plenty of butter, coconut oil and cream (Bullet Proof coffee) in the beginning as it made me feel full. Once I adjusted I managed to get organised. You will never regret going Carnivore honestly and you will see how much you can save when not buying the over processed, refined Carb’s or the plant foods!!! I buy the best steak 🇦🇺 Scotch fillet plenty of juicy fat -$ 10-12 a piece, Bacon- $9.99 for a kg (2.2lb), $6.00 a dozen free range eggs, 2.2 lb Block of tasty cheese is $10.00, T Bone steaks, $10.00 each for large. Because I don’t buy the other 💩 I have plenty of money to purchase the choicest cuts of meat best type of eggs (grain free, pesticide free) and when you finally get organised you will be able to also. I usually have 2-3 slices of middle bacon for breakfast, around 9-10 am, when I have 2 slices of Bacon, I usually throw in an egg and that keeps me going until about 4 pm, then I have my steak for dinner about 5 pm. I have dinner early so I spend more time intermittent fasting. God bless you and I hope this helps . 😘
I'm there with ya, Eye of God. I'm Celiac also. I wish a knowledgeable doc would have tested me decades ago. When you have HLA DQ2 or 8 you should NEVER eat grains, not just wheat, barley, rye and oats. All grains contain some form of gluten mimicking protein. Glad you found what works. Celiac Revelation. Hope you were test for the MTFHR genes as well other blood mutations.
I have 5 Autoimmune Conditions and I have been fighting these for many, many years. I have now been Carnivore almost 7 months and I am SO much better already. This is the first time after trying so many other things that I finally feel great, feel like my autoimmunity is calming down and my body is healing. I tried back a couple plant items recently and my body clearly told me Nope. I am carnivore for life. Still learning, but committed forever at this point.
Hi Dr Berry, I'm 67 years old and suffering fron Psoriatic Arthritis for the last 15 years, also have PKD and T2D. Been on Tofacitinib and Methotrexate for the last 2 years, previously on Humira. In 2021 I cut out all sugars, most carbs and all seed oils. My arthritis is clinically in remision, Methotrexate stopped and Tofacitinib down to half dose. GFR has improved significantly, and Hb1ac is down from 7.3 to 6.2. I started carnivore 12 weeks ago and have lost 22 lbs. BP came down from 135/90 to 115/70. I haven't had a flare up in over 2 years. Still on meds for high BG but working on it.
Yes, I am on it now and have the same condition (rheumatoid arthritis) as Mikhaila Peterson and I just started a month ago and am already off all meds. I still have a lot of healing to go, but I have never been able to go off meds and have never felt this good since before I was diagnosed.
@@naomi8097 she should really try carnivore. I've been off meds now for 4 weeks today and if I can help it I'm never going back on. I've felt better than I have in probably 15 years.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Dr Ken! I am a Grave’s disease patient and my endocrinologist told me today that my latest blood test show everything’s normalized, except there’s some antibodies still hanging around. This after going almost totally carnivore. BTW, my lifelong eczema’s all cleared up now.
Hi there ! How are you ? Hope everything is all right. I have also Grave's disease and planning to do carnivore. Antibodies are the trigger of all auto-immunes diseases and it take much more time to decrease them than hormones. Would be nice to know about your expérience and results now🙂
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. My family has been plagued with autoimmune conditions leading to painful deaths for generations. With this information, hopefully I can say that the buck stops here!
I ve started carnivore a couple of weeks ago and already feeling changes in my body for the better..My Mother has ALS shes in a bad shape. I had starting feeling things in my body and have an inkling that could be familial ALS but dont want to confirm. However came across these lovely Doctors Ken Berry, Anthony and others on carnivore. So decided to give it a try. A couple of weeks in and already feeling so much better, stronger , fatigue gone , body aches , stress etc all gone OMG can t believe it. I am going to put my Mother on this diet. We will have to blend the meat cause she can no longer swallow solid food. She has massive atrophy in the shoulders, paralysis in arms. Only limited use of one arm . Its bad. I will update when we start niticing changes wish us luck
Thank you Dr Ken. I was diagnosed with Hoshimotoes in 2015. I struggle with depression, stress, anxiety and anemia. I've been slowly being my own advocate. Started eliminating gluten, then processed foods. Did keto but finally realizing that carnivore helps me feel my best. I was trying fruit and raw honey but have gained weight. So here I go again starting carnivore again.
It’s so hard when your husband and family do not care to change for their health! Having all the carbs,starches and fruits and vegetables around and cooking all the traditional meals they have always eaten. Your videos help me to stay the course falling off the carnivore plan occasionally. Autoimmune diseases are my reason why. The comments really encourage me. Thank you.
One thing I did was put a sign on my fridge, the dry erase kind. Anything that went in there I couldn't have, I wrote on this sign. I put a big sticker of the skull and crossbones and letters spelling out POISON in bold. It's was a conversation piece at Thanksgiving being we had an ear in kitchen.
Such a creative approach to medical knowledge! Makes a lot of sense: "Our immune systems aren't overactive, they are confused." Thanks so much! Yes, I am blown away. And hopeful.
I started this carnivore way of eating 3 weeks, and 2 days ago. I've lost about 10 pounds, and my arthritic knees have drastically improved. I have more energy, and feel much better. At 76, it has been quite hard to loose any weight. An unexpected bonus, I woke up this morning with an erection, I can't remember the last time that happened. Thank you Doc.
This information has been invaluable for me. It fully explains why despite being vigilant with foods,no alcohol, just water, arthritis knee pain persistent. I have taken your advice to try carnivore for 90 days.. am 2 weeks in and already noticing little improvement. Very grateful 🙏to you for shedding light on this painful condition and subject
Hi, I'm new to your channel and very new to carnivore (today is Thursday and I started this past Sunday). I have severe autoimmune disease in the form of psoriatic arthritis and tried keto for several years. While I did lose some weight, it didn't help my joint pain, high blood pressure or high triglycerides. It did help with my high glucose levels after some time. I finally just gave up and sadly went back to eating grains. Now I'm a total metabolic mess and out of curiosity, watched one of your videos. All I can say is WOW, what a difference a few days make! My joints feel so much better already, my blood glucose had already went from a fasting number of 128 to 90 and my blood pressure is low normal. I happened to be at my PCP yesterday and she already wants to lower the dose of my 3-med combo blood pressure medicine. Last but not least, I've lost 9 pounds in 5 days. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you!
Oh my goodness! I got horribly sick after trying to eat a legumes rich “plant based” diet! Cavanine! I finally quit trying to “improve “ health and returned to a low carb carnivore diet. I knew about lectins & phytates but these plant based amino acids are really interesting!
After a heart operation in April 2020 my daughter moved in to look after me. She is vegan and so for a month I ate only plant based foods. Very tasty and I did start to lose weight. But the rheumatic flare ups were off the scale. After much research it became clear that a vegan diet and an autoimmune disease is a match made in hell. This video confirmed this. I moved to a keto diet and the situation improved. Carnivore for 6 months now and not a flare up in sight! I feel there is still some way to go. I saw my rheumatologist this morning. He looked at my blood work. Verdict: You have no inflammation. I would call that a result. It's a shame I have a brain tumor that makes me feel like crap but at least my joints and heart are now in order. And I'm 70lbs lighter! Many thanks to Dr Berry and Dr Cyves. Eternally grateful.
I have RA and have had for 26 years. I found you, Dr. Berry, and I am so happy. I started eating Keto and progressed to Carnivore over the last four months. I have no pain, lost 22 pounds and feel great. My labs are great. CRP in October was 2.065. This is without medications. I have been on 6 different biologics which a few have put me in the hospital from severe reactions. I now have control, thank you, thank you. Luckily, I have a doctor that is supportive and believes in intermittent fasting and eating meats, fish and certain vegetables.
I have RA too and I've been carnivore now for a month and off meds for a week and a half. I'm feeling better than I've ever felt with this condition since I was diagnosed almost 3 years ago. I don't hardly have any flare ups anymore. I'm definitely going to stick with it. How are you feeling now?
@@aprilparker9030 I recently have been diagnosed with RA and my sister has chrones. I am definitely thinking about trying this because even on medication I am still sore and have other symptoms. I don't want to take meds for the rest of my life.
@@AM396 you have to at least try it. I was amazed at how much this healed for me and I haven't even hit 90 days yet and I hear that's when you see immense benefits. Just try it and don't worry about what anyone else says. You have us here in the online community and Dr. Berry on your side. You can do this!!
@@AM396 So sorry! Have you watched Dr. Berry's videos on hashimotos thyroiditis? His wife, @Neisha has a few on it too because she has/ had it. They might be worth a watch for you! All the best!
I have lupus and RA. RA was diagnosed after battling CoViD. I have put myself on the carnivore diet (3 weeks) and feel so much better already. I lost 70 lbs doing keto and I feel better as lighter but My hope is to be able to stop infusion Therepy and all of the other meds. I will keep you posted.
hey are you still on the keto diet? I’m currently undergoing a lupus flare and I’m very open to start a keto/carnivore diet, just want to hear your perspective.
Also got lupus and RA and have been doing carnivore now for a week and already feel much better. I stopped all meds in December as the side effects were insane
What great timing! I found your channel after being diagnosed with a fatty liver. Have been on keto for a year and a half. No more fatty liver. I also have an autoimmune issue and just this week made out a carnivore diet shopping list. Now finding out it may help with autoimmune gave me a real boost. Thanks, Dr. Berry!
Ketovore has gotten rid of my lichen sclerosis. I am more keto than carnivore but have lived this life for 2.5 years. Within 6 months. No more white patches or itchy dry spots on my upper arm. It is amazing. Thank you for all your time and hard work helping yo educate all of us.
I was on low carb high fat, then fancied 2 baked potatoes big mistake I felt like sh*t the next day my head was all over the place dizzy. Managed to get my blood sugars on track without consuming carbs but it was a wake up call. Starting full carnivore today.
Thank you Dr. Berry! This helps explain the exasperating nature of using diet to cure autoimmune conditions. I get slight improvement for Hashimoto's using AIP diet, for example, but much better results following Paleomedicina in Hungary, which is strict carnivore. They recommend ruminant animals only (no dairy, no coffee, and in the US avoiding pork). They recommend avoiding fish because of contaminants and chicken because it is less nutritious. Their research (on 10,000+ cases) that people with autoimmune disease/leaky gut can be quite reactive to even tiny amounts of plant foods.
About 4 months carnivore and just yesterday and today I have noticed that my fibromyalgia pain is much better. I've seen small improvements along the way, but to finally be in less pain is incredible!
That's great. I have fibromyalgia and been "diagnosed" since jan this yr but had my issues since March 20th last yr. I've tried whole food plant base, was decent but malnourished, always hungry & wasn't enough, Keto was decent, but gradually going from paleo to carnivore now & I feel better. I'm hoping I can rid my fibromyalgia. It sucks the flare ups, headaches etc. Best regards to you I'm your healing journey, sounds like you're on a great track to recovery.
Went keto in September 2018 to combat severe eczema/psoriasis on my arms and hands, have since transitioned into carnivore. In addition to clearing up my 10 year old skin condition, here's a few unexpected (but welcome) benefits I never anticipated ... - 60 + lb weight loss. Was close to 250 lbs at my peak, hover around 185 lbs now. - No longer marching toward pre diabetic condition. I was well on my way. - Blood pressure back down to normal levels, no longer on BP meds. - Energy levels not experienced since my 20's (I'm 56) No more afternoon crashes. - Vastly improved dental health. My gums would bleed just from the simple act of flossing and my teeth were extremely sensitive to temperature extremes, especially cold items. Having my teeth cleaned would put me through the roof. Just got done a cleaning and the hygienist commented on my healthy gums. Tooth sensitivity is a thing of the past now.
As someone with life long digestive problems, I gave up wheat around 20 years ago and noticed improvements in what I thought was IBD, and might have been gluten intolerance. 10 years ago I noticed ongoing, chronic pain in my joints - I do not drive, and walk everywhere, but it became more painful, even though I kept on moving as much as possible. I decided to give up all grains, legumes, and starchy foods. Within 48 hours my joint pain, which I assumed was osteo-arthritis, disappeared and has never returned. I moved to the AIP and was on it for 2 years, with good results. It helped me identify foods I could not return to eating - most nuts, seeds and some tropical fruits. I'm currently on a keto regimen, but now that I'm in my 70's, I'm looking for help on what will keep me active and healthy for the rest of my life. I will check out the research and talk to my kinesiologist - thanks for the information.
Definitely something to this diet. My gut is healing itself, My cataracts is healing, both Dr's were amazed an told me to continue doing what I'm doing. Especially my GI dr.The lining of my gut almost completely grew back.Going for blood work ordered by my endo. I will continue the carnivore diet and stop these so called"autoimmune ".
This was quite a discovery for me. I have (b12) anemia. I was diagnosed back in august 2022. I had to take b12 shots monthly since. Boy after month span I feel like a zombie before my next injection. But after cutting off all junkfood, seed oils and switching to the LCHF diet since my diagnoses, I felt a massive difference in my anemia. Its has gotten so much better, I skipped my monthly injection recently. I cant wait to hear from my dr about my future blood work results this coming august.
I wonder if that's also why when we switch to carnivore, we don't burn in the sun like we might have in the past. Correct building blocks make healthy skin.
The reason you're not getting a sunburn is because you have dramatically reduced inflammation in your body (and skin) by eliminating all grains, sugars and starches and eating carnivore. Many people have reported this wonderful "side effect" of a carnivore/keto way of eating.
I haven't gotten a sunburn in YEARS. I am an American with irish heritage, so, I'm super fair and in the past could not spend any time in the sun. Now, it doesn't hurt me. On keto my fibromyalgia symptoms are nearly gone, PCOS, leaky gut. I started carnivore this week to clear my psoriasis and hopefully get rid of that annoying loose skin.
@@medicatedmastermind1879 congratulations! That is awesome! I hope your pain continues to lessen the longer you are eating this way. I know mine has. I eat almost entirely meat now. Enjoy getting your tan this summer!
There are so many "doctors" online claiming just the opposite of what Dr. Berry says, with just as much enthusiasm! I can't believe them. They just don't make any sense. I think all anyone needs to do is talk to their friends and family about what their diet is like, their health, and what their doctors are doing for them, to see that what Dr. Berry says is spot on!.
Dr. Berry, I think after 6 years or so since I discovered your videos it's about time i tell you that you have been one of the best things I've ever discovered on UA-cam, starting with your talk on the "Lies Doctors Tell Us". Thank you so much for your intrepid presentation on so many things that the medical community in general, particularly big pharma, do NOT want common people ever to learn. Your videos truly have been invaluable to me and my health.
Im sitting here this morning in a blizzard of realities. Ive been held down by what I am learning is Sojern's. It started 10 plus years ago.with a stroke with roaring tinnitus. I have been to medical people who sent me away with diagnosis of agitated..hypochodriac..I went carnivore for about 3 months and experienced the most benefit. That was 3 years ago. I am going to start again today. Thank you Dr. Berry for your encouragement..
Dr Berry, like so many Keto and carnivore I have had a learning curve for me, and I have decided to settle on almost all carnivore with an occasional veggie or salad and fatty wild caught ocean fish several times a week to break up the routine. You have provided me with so much working knowledge and although there are several other good experts on you tube, I have a sense of comfort with your no nonsense approach, and because you are an actual medical doctor who has dedicated so much of your life to helping people with health issues.
I’m getting old because I was completely blown away by this video and I just stumbled upon this AGAIN and I’m blown away AGAIN. I can’t believe I forgot about this priceless information ! Thank you for this important information. Thanks again ❤️🙏👍🙏❤️
@@aman55555-q no fruit except for avocado and only occasional berries, limited veggies : leafy greens, cabbage, cucumbers, cauliflower, broccoli. That’s pretty much it. I now realise, that the lupus was mainly triggered by legumes and excessive nightshades, which I was eating during my vegetarian stage.
Excellent! I’ve had joint problems in the past. I’ve incorporated animal based nutrition and my joint pain has 99% disappeared. Now once in awhile I’ll have a salad or broccoli. But what I will eat fruit quite often. My theory is fruit wants to be eaten. Including avocado.
Thank you so much for your videos! I just started carnivore about a week ago. I suffer from Crohn's Disease and had six surgeries this summer due to a breast abscess that randomly formed from the inflammation in my body. I'm 24 years old and my health has held me back from my life so much. I already feel stronger, have more energy, and I have way less symptoms. My mood has improved as well. I am loving it so far and plan to continue!
@@chantellenolan This diet has completely changed my life. I'm still on it and doing amazingly well. My symptoms are completely under control and I feel better than I have in years. I can live completely normally now. I'm not afraid to go out with friends or enjoy events anymore. I have my life back. I've lost some weight, too, though that wasn't my original purpose. I put on muscle like crazy even though I only do very mild exercise. I look just as good as I feel. I had to buy smaller pants 😂 Now that the inflammation is under control, I'm adding some foods back into my diet and am really able to pinpoint trigger foods. I can snack on mushrooms and some veggies, and I can season my meat with plenty of nice herbs. Carb heavy foods trigger symptoms, but even if something does cause problems, my body handles it way better now. I can cheat a little bit here and there and enjoy a meal out with my friends without having to worry anymore. I haven't needed any kind of pain killers or stomach-soothing meds since I started. This has been a miracle for me.
@@epicninjasquirrelluv wow. Thank you so much for the update. I am so encouraged by your story! My husband and I are going to start carnivore soon. I have Hashimotos, psoriasis, anemia, and who knows what other autoimmune issues. I’ve tried all the elimination diets before. God bless!
Damn right about immune system not being "too strong" but rather "confused". Two years ago I ate anything I wanted and yet I used to catch flu often. Then I was put on medication for newly diagnosed ms, then I stopped taking it and started keto. Today is my 2nd day on full carnivore. Looking forward to the day I visit my doctor and show her photos of what I eat in a day just to irritate her👌
@@olgagerman9216 which type of MS do you have Remitting MS or Progessive MS? and how are you doing now?. i havent been diagnosed been to many doctors they cant find evidence of anything even with my physical symtoms crippling me. i get burnning senstation in muscles, a sensativity to cold on parts of my body where its affected. muscle twitches everywhere. even the bottom of my foots twitch non stop. i cant use some muscles anymore cant engage them. my muscles get tired very easily exercising is a challenge even working is getting difficult. i tell every medical professional and specialist that its possibly Progressive MS but my MRI Nerve tests every tests i have done come back negative. im a healthy individual when i first started my workout jouney early 20s now im 32 and im getting close to not being able to be active. i have tried many diets as its the only thing i can do in my power since im not getting help from professionals. no diet has helps much and i get a strange reaction when eating certain foods that cold sensativity i mentioned before i get it after 5 mins of eating like a banana. an orange watermelon can trigger it. so now im doing the lion diet so far its been 2 weeks not sure if i notice any improvements yet maybe its too soon for me. as the doc from the video mentions maybe my body needs to replase all the false amino acids my tissues have to have results i wonder how long does that take.
I also have plaque psoriasis and have seen some improvement on the inflammation following a Keto/Paleo/Psoriasis diet. However, I still have the dry flaking skin issue. Where would I go to get an allergy test done based on my psoriasis? Would I go to a dermatologist or my regular doctor? Would love to know what I may be allergic to.
I tried vegan tried " the most o healing diet" lol. Nothing changed it made things worst.Made my health go really bad on the diet.Now im on a carnivour diet and im doing good.
Angel Santiago I would definitely like to know that info myself. I’ve been told that an O.A.T test along with a Gut Biome test are the 2 most important tests you can take. Your gut is the key to you body. I don’t think your allowed to get those tests in NY though sadly. Not sure as to why, but that’s interesting if true. Please post any of your findings etc. I’m thinking of having all those tests done personally. It’s also tough to get them read in some states I hear.
You may have just given me an answer. I'm 68 and just developed psoriasis on my hands and feet. I tried to think what I was eating that was new and might have triggered this and all I could think of was almond flour. Do you know if coconut is considered a tree nut?
I was told I had Sjogrens syndrome , a undetermined soft tissue disease that attacked my muscles, tendons and ligaments and fibromyalgia. After listening to Neisha's videos on how she felt with hashimoto's disease I am convinced that I was suffering from it as well, even though my basic thyroid tests were always normal. I have horrible drug allergies and the only thing they could find that I could tolerate was prednisone, which I was on for about 12 yrs. After going keto there was a huge change in my health and now I'm ketovore and am off all my medications.
I also have Sjögren’s syndrome and IBS. I am considering going on the carnivore diet. I hope it helps me. I have not been diagnosed with celiac disease but I have noticed that I feel much better and my digestive tract works much better when I leave off all grains.
@@bgueberdenteich5206 Yes, I gained over 60 lbs. It does cause issues with your bones, but I didn't have any apparent bone issues because of it though, not sure why, I know other people who did. If you can avoid it don't take it, especially long term.
This is so interesting! I gave up garlic and onion to help with IBS symptoms about a year ago and it DID HELP me. It was part of a low FODMAP diet I found. I started KETO a few weeks ago and feel better. This video really explains exactly why giving up those foods helped. I know so many people with auto-immune diseases. Thanks for this video!! Information is always good!
I am predominantly non vegetarian, but my friends are pure vegetarians. When i used to stay for extended periods of time with my friends and eat lots of pulses and legumes i used to get sick all the time with all kinds of symptoms. When i was back alone these symptoms used to just disappear in no time. I had no clue what was wrong, after seeing this video suddenly everything makes sense.
I was vegan for 8 years and vegetarian for 12 years . I’m now combatting health issues which no doctor has been able to address, I think it may be Hashis I started eating meat and have felt much better, I’m gonna try this carnivore diet . Thank you
Been vegan for 14 years and feel amazing since all Meat eaters around me are dealing with health issues. My blood works always amaze my doctor. She said I don't know what you are doing but keep doing it. My friend has MS and is a Big Meat eater.
@@thalia_artist I’m very happy for you 🙏🏽 I wish there was something I could do as I’ve tried everything but as a mother of two I can’t afford to be in and out of the hospital as I was.
@@MamamialaureLI understand your point and Hope you feel better but I don't think being sick is because of being on a plant based diet unless its unbalanced (as any kind of diet could be unbalanced). Carnivore diet is an unbalanced diet so to balance it people should add fruits and veggies at least. By design human is not carnivore. On the long term it can damage your kidney and it can be irreversible (too much proteins ). Many Drs have debunked this carnivore diet so many times and no unbiaised study exist to prove the anecdotical results we can ear from carnivore dieters. The gurus said its backed by science but I could'nt find any long term study about it. So if you find one please send me the link. Plus many bodybuilder (high Meat eaters) died from kidney failure. And the Carnivore Guru Paul Saladino (which is a psychiatrist) don't even eat a carnivore diet anymore since he had health issues while on it. But anyone can eat whatever they want but I think this diet is a sad diet. Particulary for animals.
Hell yeah me too ... it's worked better than anything so far. My rheumatologist said low starch diet but it was so hard trying to figure out what had starch and it's not listed on nutrition labels. Just said screw carbs all together. Plus I know sugar is bad and without sugar and starch it would be impossible to get enough carbs. Thankfully keto is so similar and super popular.
@@dominic2446 no my rheumatologist recommended low starch diet. One strong theory on what causes AS is a bacteria called kelebesia that lives in the gut microbiome. I believe it resembles a collagen that's mainly in the spine and eyes of people with the HLb-27 gene. They know it has something to do with the gut microbiome. They are doing fecal transplant research right now for ankylosing spondylitis. We don't need to do that. What you eat is your microbiome. I think people don't want to hear strict diet. They want pills. They are easy and convenient. Plus the doctor and everyone up the medical chain is making more money off of meds. I like this guy. He isn't trying to sell us anything.
You're so right. It works in my body. It's also sad to read in internet about this inmune systems illness and some Magazines and traditional doctors recommend their patients to eat plants. The truth is that this doctors take one semester of nutrition class. they just care about pharma business or surgery, but reality shows that 90% of our good health comes from good food, that's exclude carbos, sugar ,processed food, and plants. In this modern times It's a war between functional doctors and traditional doctors. We, as patients must make our own research, try and then find the truth. Thanks so much Doctor Berry for your wisdom and experience in order to help us. Greetings from Ecuador.❤
I live in Calgary Alberta , Canada and have had great results following clean Keto and now mostly Carnivore way if eating! I thank you so much Dr Berry and Neisha for sharing your incredible knowledge and insights with us! I have 2 autoimmune disorders. The first one was diagnosed 10 years ago, that being Behcet’s. Then just last summer I was diagnosed also with Lichen Sclerosus. Years before had tremendous suffering with endo and had huge benign ovarian growths which were surgically removed. Since eating this way for about 60 days I have no more endometrial adhesion pain which was a daily occurrence. Also my joint pains have subsided and my almost constant headaches are going away. Thank you so very much!
Add myself to the list, I started Carnivore in November 2019 coming from a strict keto diet, I have 6 autoimmune illnesses that have plaqued me since I was 12 years old, some were acquired lately in life. Now at age 52 on strict Carnivore I am feeling better than I can remember in years. I have rhuemetory arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Candida, celiac disease, IBS, sjogren's syndrome, wiith all of that I was 280 Lbs. now Im down to 185 Lbs. I am no longer in constant pain, no more knee pain, joint pain. With bad advice from many doctors over the years I took Prilosec for 22 years and anti inflammatory meds from my arthritis doctor, and many other prescription drugs, all of which could have been avoided.
Wow thats awesome! How is it going for you? I have IBS and a mix of sjögrens/ rosacea/ lupus + cronic fungal infections. I am going to try Carnivore i think..
@@elinmansson5535 I have been doing very well, meat and water for me. Thing that are bad for the gut for me, egg whites, dairy, coffee and chocolate. The coffee and chocolate are the worst for the sjorgrin my eyes and mouth become so dry, so I do different mixes of meat, seafood and water that's when I feel the best. Hope that can help you
I gave up plants 30 months ago. I used to be extremely allergic to crustacaens and bivalves such as lobster, shrimp, oysters, and scallops. The night before last (Aug. 4) I ate 1 lb. of Diver Scallops without a hint of anaphylaxis.
I have MS that seems to be slowly but surely getting worse - I’m devastated by not being able to have shallots/garlic/onions (taste so good) since I’ve already given up so much - but Carnivore is worth a try. If nothing else it would be good elimination diet for 90 days I would think. Lord help us heal!! Thank you Dr Berry!
@@aprilparker9030 trying carnivore much more strictly this month- spent the year doing keto/low carb again and couldn’t lose weight - symptoms were steady.
I was just diagnosed 3 weeks ago with a form of Microscopic Colitis called Lymphocytic Colitis. It was triggered by Covid. I have been on keto for 3 years because it helped alleviate so many health problems had I previously suffered from. But keto wasn't helping with the colitis symptoms. I think your video finally explains why. I've been eating carnivore (minus eggs and dairy) since my diagnosis, just because I thought it would be a great elimination diet. I had planned to incorporate keto friendly things back into my diet to see what I react to, but after your research, I think the only things I'll incorporate back in after 90 days are eggs and dairy. Thank you so much for all your research efforts! ❤️ I will be sharing this with my LC group on Facebook!
Add to your list ME/CFS. I was 100% bedbound for 4/5 years and later 80% bed/housebound. I am now OMAD and have a high protein/fat diet. The difference is huge. I still pace myself and generally need 10 hours sleep but I have seen an amazing improvement in my health and ability to do many of the things I enjoyed before I went down with the virus that caused my ME. At 50 I struggled to take a bath without the help of my husband. At 61 it's like I've regained the lost years. I was told ME is lifelong and untreatable. I don't believe there is a cure but I can honestly say I've reversed many of the disabling symptoms.
I have Me/CFS too for 25 years now .. I am coping much better with Meat based. Hoping to fully reverse it. This way of eating has hands down been the easiest on my stomach and crappy digestion.
@@CatWoman6 I too am 25 years in ME/CFS. Tried everything. Even did Keto for 18 months but when I had a full relapse 4 years ago I have been struggling terribly. My RA has also flared up so I am going to give this a try. I did do better on Keto so maybe going to the next level may help. Just hard to get back up when you are really sick.
@@childoftheking2214 it's not a Magic Bullet but it does make life easier but sadly I have such weak stomach acids so everything I eat is a challenge to digest for my body unfortunately but I am still holding hope that one day this will be better at least- easier than it is now. I'm sorry that you've suffered so long also. How have you coped and managed?.. it's been devastatingly difficult for me. I eat mainly ground beef and some fish and ghee. How is your digestion?. I have really low stomach acid sadly.
@@CatWoman6 Thank you for responding so quickly. You are the first person I have connected with who has been sick with this horrid illness for the same amount of time. With the Lord’s help I have coped as best I could over the years. But now that I am in my late 60’s age is becoming a factor. I am probably more like a person in their mid 80’s. I have IBS, as I am pretty sure you do too as it seems to come with the illness. Though I have had that all my life. If anything I produce too much stomach acid so I don’t have the problem you do. I am giving myself a gentle kick in my butt and starting Keto again today. Once I have been on it for a few months I will try the carnivore for a short time to see if it helps also. Hope you are doing well today.
I no longer have any of the "auto immune" ailments since I began your basic human diet. My stomach is fine, I take few prescriptions, and I've lost 35 pounds in 4 months. Thank you.
I have MS and i am going to give this a try. The meds are crazy expensive !! I was started on Aubagio and it is 8000.00 for a 30 day supply , Thank God MS one to one had paid for that but since they now developed a generic which is Teriflumanide i do not get help with that its 4000.00 a month for a 30day supply. I feel like i am getting worse even though i have no new lesions on my brain mri. I had told the dr that and they did say that ms is a progressive disease and even though i have no new lesions with the med i could continue to feel like this. I am willing to try anything at this point. Thank you for putting this information out there!! God bless you and your family 💗
This is so amazing! I have watched this 5 times and wish I could give this one 5 thumbs up for each watch!! I wish more people would understand how amazingly detrimental plant toxins can really be for humans and other mammals.
I can honestly say Keto and carnivore have reversed my Type II diabetes. I had tried carnivore during lent and it did not agree with me because I was listening to the " you have to eat 2 lbs a day UA-cam channels and I just could not eat that much. I started again from Keto to carnivore a week ago and this time it is agreeing with me thus far. I have Fibromyalgia and a debilitated back from a horrible surgery. Fingers crossed that carnivore at least reduces my pain. It has reduced inflammation for sure😃 You are my favorite....straight shooter, you push no supplements and tell us to listen to our body. Thanks for all that you do! Here's to beef, bacon and butter...sorry I just cannot do liver and sardines🤣🤣
I've been on Carnivore for 2 weeks. I have Sarcoidosis and was to the point where I was going to need infusions. So far my symptoms have improved drastically. You're doing great work here. 👍🏼
I have sarcoid too, it started in my lungs ,then trvaeled to my liver and spleen. They had me on prednisone for 6 months 6 months then methotrexate with humira when my spleen and liver were enlarged. Anyway I electively stopped the meds once my organs size reduce. My lungs of course are scarred and having trouble breathing. Whats kicking my butt now is acid reflux so ,im gonna do veggies and meat with my water
I was constructed with GBS, which is when the anti-bodies attack the cells, I wanted to know if the carnivore diet would be the right diet help prevent or slow Gillian Bre' Syndrone from advancing?
I very much appreciate your kindness trying to help us in suggesting things that are working for the masses because we are not getting what we need from my doctors so thank you and one nice thing about UA-cam you hear a lot from a lot of people what works what does not work so thank you I greatly appreciate your opinion and your kindness trying to help

Hello from jacqueline from Scotland I listen to you all the time I tried the vegaterian diet but it ruined my life I am going to try this diet I have osteoporosis and osteoarthritis and I,B,,S and fibromyalgia it's worth a try many thanks Jacqueline 🙏
@@clarissamck Won't happen, folks think it's the meat that causes constipation -- it's really the veggies/grains...that fiber theory is....is a theory, unproven with science. Since I moved from Keto to 95% Carnivore (I like my coffee)...constipation is a thing of the past.
@@clarissamck Constipation is a non-issue once you are keto adapted, provided you eat fatty meats. If you are concerned about the adaptation period, then keep a laxative on hand.
@@ivermec-tin666 if you eat enough salt or drink it if you must, then this shouldn't be an issue as well. However if you3re dependent on laxatives it may take a long time to bounce from it due to loss of bowel tone. 🙏
I'm floored. All of this resonates with me and I think I finally know what destroyed my thyroid. Sadly, my thyroid attacked itself starting in my 20's. By my 40s, despite all I did to change it, it became a massive goiter and had to be removed. Interestingly, right before my thyroid just went haywire, a "doctor" (Andrew Lessman) who I later found out went to law school and has some kind of background in medicine but hadn't really practiced on real patients, started pushing a women's wellness formula that contained huge amounts of soy isoflavones. Soybeans, as we now know, are a particularly dangerous legume to consume in excess. When I had my surgery (that I kept putting off until it was almost lethal in size because I was so desperate to heal) my surgeon said it was one of the biggest she had ever seen. Can't even describe what this did to my self esteem and I ended up having complications during surgery due to its size. I also gained a ton of weight despite being on the "right" dose of thyroid hormone replacement. I was on low carb for a couple of weeks with no weight loss. Pre-diabetic, elevated blood pressure. 150 pounds overweight and only 5'5". So I started carnivore a few days ago. No stevia ir other additives. Just beef, eggs, chicken, pork with grass fed butter or ghee. I even let go of my last addiction today...coffee. Not sure where this journey will lead but I'm an optimist and a person of faith and I believe that no matter what happened in the past, I can begin again. Looking forward to a better life....
@@kirsten1007 I'm so sorry...and I feel a kindred connection to you and every woman who got misled into the "soy trap" and ended up sick because of it. Back when I fell into it, there were some so called promising studies on women in Asia who eat tofu and had received health benefits...but I later learned that what they were eating didn't amount to the massive amounts of isoflavones being packaged in those supplements. I'm just looking forward to a healthier life. I wish you health and healing...
@bullterrier3518 Not so great but I haven't given up. On carnivore, I had constant digestive issues. Lost a little weight (20 pounds) but hit a plateau. My energy levels never adjusted to no carbs. I stayed on it faithfully for 6 months. That doesn't mean it won't work you. So many have been successful. I just have to find another way.
I started the carnivore diet 90 days ago. However, I started using various spices and then having food or drinks that are keto friendly and then cheat days that last for 3-5 days..on and on. My point! I need to do a 90-day carnivore diet of simply meat, salt, and no cheating. Anyone out there who has done carnivore to help Lichen sclerosus?
Carnivore for over 2 years. Celiac & Duhring’s disease, PHP (with an autoimmune component), and adenomyosis symptoms have either been eliminated or lessened through animal-based eating and fasting.
Cori CRAFT I really wish I’d have known about keto or carnivore before. I have Graves’ disease/ killed thyroid 16 yrs ago and had adenomyosis which resulted in a hysterectomy at age 38. (8yrs ago) I’m full ketovore now. Haven’t been able to go completely carnivore, but the past 1 1/2 yrs, has been my healthiest yet!
I’m so glad you finally found relief! I quite literally stumbled into what I know as carnivore today. I didn’t know it was a thing. I’d known I had celiac disease for over a decade and developed Duhring’s disease after unknowingly being cross contaminated in my own home. When the rash and blisters would not go away after stripping the house clean, I was put on an elimination diet in order to avoid having to take rounds of antibiotics and steroids. I kept a food diary and I continued to pull every food I had a negative reaction to. Eventually all I was left with was eggs and fish-I was plant-based prior to. Every time I tried to reintroduce a food back in I’d have a reaction. Eventually, I began to add in muscle meat and organs to survive. After a month or so my skin cleared and slowly I began to see other issues improve-completely unexpected! The intention was never to stay on this limited group of foods, but I can’t imagine going back to how I felt before. I started poking around the internet to see if it was possible to live like this and found Sally K. Norton and Georgia Ede, and discovered some carnivores on Twitter. The rest is history.
It’s crazy because I have been eating a lot of raw veggies and fruits and earned myself lupus that way! At least I know what caused it finally! I’ve been suffering for six months with it! And couldn’t figure out why but now I’m clear! Thank you doc!
Doesn't sound like lupus. It takes on average 6 yrs to get a lupus diagnosis and it doesn't just go away like that. I've had Lupus (diagnosed 2006) for years and been on so many treatments, even participated in 2 drug trials because I was that desperate. I've been eating Keto for 3 weeks and my symptoms are improving. Thinking about going 100% carnivore.
I have grave disease, I wish 12yrs ago I knew about keto or carnivore before they removed all my thyroid gland😒😏😒🥺. Now, I am hypothyroidism. Levoxyl 75mg for life🥺🥺🥺
Me too. My endocrinologist can't figure out why anti-thyroid antibody level has bottomed out. He'll never admit that it's my keto diet and intermittent fasting. I know it is.
Wow, this make sense. I have been hearing that a carnivore diet greatly helps autoimmune conditions. Dr Berry made it clear. I am one of those people that needs all the info and if it makes sense, then I am signed on and motivated. I have refused medicine for my lupus / sjogrens / mixed connective tissue for 18 years because I wouldn't give up looking for the real reason my body was doing this. I have always believed that diet, environment, stress is the key. My docs all think I am difficult. I am going to start the carnivore diet asap! Thank you, Dr. Berry!
My body has always preferred meat above everything else. It’s just amazing how good I feel when I don’t eat carbs. I do tend to get bored, but I recently started watching Neisha’s channel and she has so many fantastic ideas, I think my days of food boredom are over!
I have not checked out her Channel yet, maybe I should go there soon. I am not bored yet. The novelty of eating bacon whenever I want hasn't faded yet. But I do know how to season things. And I'm not currently doing carnivore, but rather beginning into Keto
Wow avoid healthy carb like sweet potato which purple potatoes. Red blood cell only run on healthy. Okinawans ate mainly healthy carb and is the longest lived people with no chronic to health issues.
@@jameswright3972 Sweet potatoes aren't healthy. They're starches, which turns into sugar and spikes BS and insulin, which leads to insulin resistance. Okinawans are outliers and considering most people on this planet aren't from Okinawa, you're argument is invalid. Edit: Want healthy red blood cells? Eat liver.
A few months ago I suddenly became very sick. I spent several weeks in bed and sent my young child to stay with family. Doctors had no answers. It's been 9 days since I started eating red meat only. Ive lost 21 pounds of swelling in my joints, I can walk, and my daughter is back home. I was literally dying. My family would gasp when they saw me sick. I am so happy to be healing. 🙂
You've may had candida overgrowth which made you that sick but the carnivore diet choice is great, however I would do healthy Keto and add supplements to assist with condition
Make sure you have enough vitamin D, Sun or pills ~
I love that. Glad you got your kido back
I don’t know how to eat I have Lupus?
What did that?
My daughter has MS, I had read about diet vs standard treatment for MS. I told her to change her diet immediately. She did and the results are amazing. Her first MRI showed several lesions. Two were large with halos. After two years of eating a Paleo diet she had another MRI, (she had to fight with her specialist to get that MRI). The images showed most of the smaller lesions were GONE. The two large ones with halos had decreased in size. She's had NO symptoms of MS for five years. She treats her MS through diet and exercise. Her Nueorologist poo pooed the idea of diet when my daughter was diagnosed. Now she is a believer that diet can be a treatment for MS.
That's incredible and I'm so glad for you and your daughter Ruth!!!
Information like that needs to be spread
@@forge3213 Thank you for the kind comment. And, yes, that info needs to be spread. The standard treatments for MS are not kind to the body.
Thank you so much for this precious information,please is that carnivore diet? Can you mintier what she eats please? And what’s her blood type? Thank you so much I got some hope from your incredible comment
@@usanewyorkhajar7236 - I hope that you are eating carnivore. It has so many benefits!

I have MS. I went Carnivore 11 weeks ago. I'm off of every supplement I used to take, every prescription drug, and I had an appointment with my specialist today - despite three lesions on my spine and a brain that looks like swiss cheese on an MRI, I am completely symptom free. I was smiling and lively in a way the doctor had never seen me and he remarked, it was as if he was only meeting me for the first time today. I refused the next rituxan infusion. It's amazing what can happen when you feed your DNA what it expects from its environment. Thank you for your work, Doctor!
I also have MS and was keto now carnivore and off all 18 meds I was taking. I feel like I got my life back
What is your blood type? I wonder why some people get better when they go off all meat. Could it be those O’s like me, just thrive on keto and A’s do best on organic veggies
Thank you George for encouragement! I have MS too and seems to be worse (numbness in knee now) and Dr wants me on Rituxan too - I’m going to try carnivore at least for awhile like you! Did you lose any weight or don’t need to? What about fasting too?
I cannot stress enough how grateful I am tht you shared your experience with us. My mom has MS, and this is gold for us. I want to help her out as much as I can. I will help her transition to Carnivore and let you all know after 90 days in it. God bless you!
@@Wide_awake316 🤔 Hmmm.
I am a physician and I would like to thank you for what you are doing!
Thank you
@@YouButter Thanks to Dr. Berry. He is doing right things. What I can not say about healthcare system of most countries.
How about Iga Nephropathy CKD 3b? Cna help with carnivore
I have 10 autoimmune conditions. After trying every type of diet, I started Carnivore to improve my Crohn's symptoms. To my amazement, within 24 hours, my asthma disappeared, restless leg syndrome, acid reflux, indigestion and several other things just stopped!
After 4 months I went back onto a 'normal' gluten-free diet as I was worried about bowel cancer. Immediately all these symptoms came back again! So now I'm back on Carnivore.
Lowering inflammation is one good way to help try to prevent cancer. Carnivore seems to be good at that. Maybe add some fasting to that as well
Common sense doctors, scientists n specialists in this sphere argue that RED MEAT DOES NOT CAUSE CANCER. Sad American diet 😢with loads of GPS (grain, potatoes n SUGAR) Lead to metabolic disease and cancer. Meat does not cause colon cancer
How are you now? How are you treating your Crohn's?
@cespo77 I'm still sticking with carnivore as I get ill when I leave it. The only treatment I have is Adalimumab injections (one a week) which keeps my inflammation under control. But I was really suffering with severe asthma and other stuff which has disappeared on carnivore so, apart from diarrhoea, I have no pain or symptoms currently. Long may it last!
@@gabriellejacobs1192 Thanks for your response. That is great! Does Humira cause any side effects?
Dr. Berry, I started following you a while ago because I ran across your keto videos, and because you're one of my Nashville neighbors. I also spoke to one of my doctor friends (chiropractor/physiotherapist/nutritionist) in Nashville about you as well, and he spoke very highly of you.
I was diagnosed with "cluster autoimmune disorder" almost 10 years ago, at the age of 29. First it was hoshimoto's, then celiac, then they linked the life long anemia to autoimmune... After that it was narcolepsy, then when they started mentioning probable MS, I just quit going to the doctor. It was too much and nobody was giving me any answers as to why or any solutions. I changed my diet, cut out all hydrogenated vegetable fats and all gluten and grains except for rice, and it did make me feel "better". I didn't feel as if I was dying anymore at least. I've tried keto quite a few times, would lose a little weight, but put it back on eventually, usually in a trauma situation with lots of stress, like the loss of a close family member.
5 days ago, I convinced myself to try going full carnivore. I'm in tears as I type this because I can't believe how much better I already feel. Quite frankly, in the most simple terms I can come up with... you have saved my life, and I could never thank you enough for making this information available. You are such a blessing to so many suffering people.
Amazing that's awesome keep going I'm almost 2 yrs and I've suffered horrible migraines since age 10 and I feel great...keep at it...don't go back to plants ....check out Dr Berrys friend Dr. Paul Saladino...talk about plants warfare on our bodies
@@ninawildr4207 Yes! Thank you.... I found Dr. Saladino also from videos he has done with Dr. Berry and had planned on ordering the updated version of his book this week. I just made the comment to a friend today that I haven't had a headache in 5 days, and very little heartburn as well. That's just simply amazing to me. I've always known my body craved meat, specifically beef, but I assumed that it was due to my chronic anemia... I wasn't willing to give it up, despite what doctors like Dr. Gundry claimed. I knew I needed it, even after being told it caused inflammation. So I have tried to always eat good grass fed/finished meat whenever I could. Limited the veggies and plants that I was told would cause problems with my thyroid but that wasn't enough... In only a few days, I feel like my head is above water and I'm out of a fog that I've been in for close to 2 decades. I'm in shock, honestly and I know it will only get better from here!
God bless be well.
Thanks thank God you r not suffering . I wish everyone must be happy. Slipper those drug industries.
Sounds like your Cluster Autoimmune Disorder is the same as my MMCTD, (Mixed Multiple Connective Tissue Disease.) I present with symptoms of both Sjogrens and Reynaud's. Every person w/ MMCTD can present with symptoms of the multi-verse of A.I. disorders.
Dr. Ken Berry,I can not discuss anything I learned from you, with my doctor . She rolls her eyes and says: you are listening to the You-tube Doctor again, in a very condescending voice . I am unable to find another rheumatologist in my area, they are as rare as gold . We do not live in a small town, but they are just not practicing here . I am suffering too much to go on with her recommendations, which look nothing like yours . I will try this diet as a last resort , maybe it will help ease my pains and stop further deformation of my joints. I am at a point where I have trouble doing the mundane, ordinary things in life . Just holding a toothbrush and removing the cap from the t-paste hurts, thanks for the good info ! Barbara.
Doctors are in general not your friend. The medical system is designed to keep you coming in and never actually heal you.
Barbara i have RA. Went keto March 2019. Lost over 60lbs. Midsummer last yr started to eat lots and lots of meat. So muvh conflicting info when your trying to to get better. It as definitely helped my pain,flares and just all around! Started seeing a new Dr cause of insurance. Told her my way of eating and expressed a interest in getting off some meds. Well...she told me where she was trained and what she follows and if i was looking for anything other than her protocol i was at the wrong place!!! Cant change Dr yet but will! Bottom line,Cut out sugar ,bad oils, carbs ,lectins and nightshades. I wish you the best.
Oh i forgot once you get the hang of it try 18/6 fasting also helps. Ive only had a few flates in the last yr. The last 1 im sure was brought on by stress with all this covid19 .
@@janellsmith-bubb7305 thank you very much ! My diet choices are well researched . However I have been eating big salads , maybe I should eliminate those .
@@bgueberdenteich5206 I only eat cauliflower,Brussel sprouts, cabbage,mushrooms and broccoli maybe once or twice a month. This summer i ate strawberries and blue berries as a wonderful treat. I wont get to have them for a yr so i enjoyed them. Now maybe ill do less veggies and see what my joints say! Always always learning .Again best wishes
Dr. Berry "The People's Doctor", thank you for all the work you are doing. ❤
Whenever I need to strengthen my resolve and feel uplifted, I just pick one of Dr. Berry's videos, listen to the advice, then read the comments from the many people who have followed his advice and who are feeling better, stronger, and healthier.
Yes
Hello Dr Berry, I also suffer from autoimmune disorders, diabetes, hypothyroid and horrible gastric/digestive problems. I am very encouraged by you and other physicians that are saying positive things about the carnivore diet. I am on day two of an all meat diet and I finally have hope. I want to be able to work again, I've been very sick for ten years. Thank you for all that you do and I'm now one of your subscribers. ♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍 God bless you!!!
@@CH-qc1zt I have cheated a little bit but I'm trying to remain gluten free and low carb. I have noticed positive changes with less inflammation and joint pain and my digestive issues are slowly getting better. I also notice that my eyes are no longer red all of the time. I'm going to try and be more strict with my diet for even greater benefits. My blood sugar levels are also much better even without taking medication. I think the diet is very much worth trying. Best of luck to you.
@@jimmyhudzgarageHope you are doing well Jimmy. Any update on what you are eating and how you are feeling now?
@@bradje12 I have noticed an improvement in my digestion with less bloating and gas and a slight improvement with inflammation. My body weight has remained consistent but weight loss was not a concern for me. My blood sugar levels are much more consistent and naturally lower without the need for injections. I do see positive changes and shopping for food is much quicker and simplified. I do cheat from time to time but much less than I used to. I overall see benefits from this diet hands down and fully recommend it especially for people with diabetes. Hope this helps. Cheers
@@jimmyhudzgarage Great to hear!
When I cut sugar and bread and legumes pulses...nightshades my fibromyalgia lessened by tons. No more meds... 2 yrs now.
I've been saying for about a decade that, the health care system isn't focused on curing people, it's about treating your symptoms.
I am going to pray for everyone 🙏 on this page.i was told about this last year @80yrs old.I know God hears our prayers. Hold on for our healing.God Bless.
You mean masking your condition with a pill. If the pills are so great, why do you always need a refill? Why do these pills cause other issues down the road? Doctors don't care about you. If everyone was healthy, they'd be out of business.
Gout, high blood pressure, arthritis, Hydradenitis Supperativa, depression, endometriosis, anxiety, obesity, IBS, all have been reversed by going carnivore. I used to weigh 532 pounds I now weigh 342 thanks to carnivore 🙏
38 stone? Really??
I'm 2 months in and feeling amazing. I'm down 45lbs already and all my ache and pains are gone completely. I feel fresh and energetic throughout the day and feeling strong 💪🏻. Keep up the great work and I think of story's like yours to keep this road to health. Oh I almost forgot to say that my high blood pressure is now back to normal. 2 Months!! Lol wild
WOW
5th week in. Rheumatoid arthritis symptoms almost not noticeable. Have lost 19 kgs.blood pressure meds cut in half so far and doctor is monitoring with a view to remove diuretic meds. Uric acid levels have actually dropped on carnivore diet. I feel so much better.
PLEASE CONTINUE YOUR RESEARCH!!! I literally said to a friend this week, every time I eat "healthy" I feel sick. I am a vegetarian for decades with 7 different autoimmune diseases, Hashimoto, Lupus, Psoriasis, Alopecia, and a few others. I was diagnosed with Lupus while I was a vegan. Thank you for this info today, because I have suspected for a very long time, that all the plant based eating I have been doing is making me sick...but I couldn't make sense of it! I just thought my body and I had a really, really bad relationship. Please keep going and sharing information. thanks again...:)
as well as the chemicals the spray it with. well done. hope its working
Wow!! The “first” understandable reason for the autoimmune process!!! And I am a retired medical professional. Thank you!!! You are helping so many people, including me!
So true!!!
I've been carnivore for 6 weeks now. Before, I had a rash on my face and on my chest (along with joint pain and a bunch of other less-than-ideal conditions). Yesterday I felt like having stuffed vine leaves, just 4 of them (one little side dish), for the first time in 6 weeks. Stuffed vine leaves are stuffed with rice. Today my skin rash is back after 6 weeks. My face is all red and itchy. I'm not eating carbs ever again.
I have 4 of the autoimmune diseases you listed. I have done AIP diet and had moderate results and I was extremely happy with those results. I have a friend that introduced me to the carnivore way of eating. After 7 days my joints have stopped hurting and I have more energy, plus the bonus of losing 10kg!
How is it going now for you?
Thanks for sharing 👍🏼..I as well have 4of those "demons" frolicking in NY life but I can not gain weight 😢 but grateful for still standing 😀
Love to hear this!
@@giselarios9985 I have an autoimmune condition called Still’s disease (a form of arthritis) and I can’t gain weight either . Instead, I lose it too quickly 😓

Thank you so much.
God guided me to your channel, I'm sure of it.
God bless you doc.
Please create more content about this.
Auto immune diseases of an kinds are so common now and many of them are life limiting and life altering.
It's made me disabled and old before my time.
I have shed buckets of tears over all the things this disease has done to me.
I thank God for leading me to your channel.
🙏
First of all thank you. I will try to keep this as brief as possible. Just wanted to tell you of my experience. IN 2013 I was diagnosed with (MCTD) Mixed Connective Tissue Disease.
I struggled with my health, for the last ten years. I retired in Oct 2022.... 29 days later I had a life threatening event. I was life flighted to a major Nevada hospital and was put
into the IC facility for 2 days on a ventilator. Over last three years I was under the care of a major university Utah specialist, all to no avail. Last November I went to a local
Dr. in my area. I was having high blood sugar issue and he recommended going on the low carb or Keto diet. Needless to say my MCTD has almost completely disappeared! I am able to
exercise again, and have had my MCTD symptoms almost completely disappear. At one time I was on 25 MG of Prednisone, and was even having 1000 MG IV infusions every 3 months.
Been a subscriber a few years, and would like to thank you for all your good information!
I have Lupus, MS, and Psoriasis. My mom has Lupus, she is now in remission. I am starting my journey right now after seeing her amazing results.
Awesome for your mother. Your time will come. Best regards in your healing journey 😁
How do you feel now with the diet?
IBS, Hashimotos, MS and I am doing so much better now. I've been Carnivore for two years... won't ever go back to eating veg or carbs. Listen to Dr. Berry... he knows his stuff!
Two years of carnivore, great for you . Do you only eat meat , salt and water or you add to meat and fish some thyme or others spices?
@@irimiar I don't do spices cause my body doesn't like them anymore. The cleaner my diet gets the fussier it gets about things.
@@AleeshaSattva Thank you for your answer.
Aleesha thank you for sharing - I’m suffering with MS symptoms today like never before (burning legs) so going to try strict Carnivore- sounds like it helps most...
@@julieswhirled9532 you'll have some relief immediately but remember it took a long time for your body to get here so gift it time to heal and recover. my MS symptoms are super mild and i'm almost 3 years into this way of eating
Omg!!!! This is why my psoriasis gets so bad when I tried to go vegan. Thank you.
Glenda how is your psoriasis now hopefully you have it under control
Please do tell how has it been going?
Its been 3 years. How you doing?
Omg dr Berry is this for real?? I have been diagnosed with lupus and the last couple months i have been having Huge flares (i have never experienced anything like it) and this happened in relation to me Starting a new healthy diet eating salads including Exactly those vegetables you mentioned in the video!! I have been having sprouts and legumes EVERY DAY!!! Omg thank god for this video! ⭐️
1. Rheumatoid arthritis
2. Lupus
3. Psoriasis
4. Irritable Bowel Syndrome
5. Crohn's disease
6. Ulcerative colitis
7. Hashimoto's thyroiditis
8. Celiac disease
9. Pernicious anemia
10. Multiple sclerosis
He could add Parkinsons. A paper at Researchgate I just found cites that protein misfolding and abnormal protein synthesis are a BIG part of Parkinsons. If this doctor's sources are correct, avoiding specific Nonprotein Amino Acids, as he suggests, would also starve Parkinsons of the metabolic components required to progress further.
10:01
Dr. Berry should also add CIDP....Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Poly-Neuropathy. It's an autoimmune disease where your body attacks and destroys the myelin sheath off neurons in the legs, etc.
Scleroderma
How about AS?
Boom! - drop the mike. This might be one of your best and most important videos. Im an RN trained heavy in bio-chem and never heard of this. Explains so much and makes so much sense. Had no idea and never thought about the nutritional resources crossing over from the vet field. Makes sense since so many meds are used back and forth between the medical and vet world. Im digging into this research deep. Thank you and yes I am a patron because I believe in what you are doing and for the research you bring to my attention.
No, I don't have it I just like to hear everything you have to say.
Let me add one more.... Diverticulitis...my Twin sons are 39 yrs old and they learned by trial and error trying different diets and discovered that eating basically carnivore has changed their life dramatically...also eating organic grass fed beef...if they stray too far from carnivore they suffer immensely. I think this information is priceless.... Thank you Dr. Berry and God bless! Preach the real truth!!!
The diet stopped my Diverticulitis flares. Carnivore all the way.
Same for me! The flare ups with the sharp pains that made me double over in severe pain are gone. I thought I would have to accept it for the rest of my life. It started helping me pretty quickly too. By 3 months, I had no pain at all. I'm almost up to a year on this diet and have been able to add some foods I couldn't have before, but there are things indo have to stay away from entirely and I accept that I won't be able to have thise things anymore. The diet keeps me plenty satisfied and I don't even crave those thZmsings at all anymore.
@@tianasixkiller4771 what can you eat besides meat?
@@kingali7261 eggs! Butter! Some try dairy but better stick to a few things to heal.
Thank you Dr Ken, I did 16 months Keto and in February this year I began Carnivore. I’m Celiac, had high blood pressure and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Since I have been eating Carnivore I have no Arthritic pain, Celiacs is getting better and I feel my blood pressure has improved. As well as my health you have helped my bank account 😘 Saving a fortune not buying rubbish!!! Feel the best ever in 60+ years. 👏🏻
What does your food budget look look like if you'd be willing to share, I have started carnivore recently but I am disabled and having a hard time affording to stick with it. Any recommendations are truly appreciated ❤️❤️❤️
Ray R Ray, when I started I thought the same, this way of eating was going to break me financially. I must admit I did eat plenty of butter, coconut oil and cream (Bullet Proof coffee) in the beginning as it made me feel full. Once I adjusted I managed to get organised. You will never regret going Carnivore honestly and you will see how much you can save when not buying the over processed, refined Carb’s or the plant foods!!! I buy the best steak 🇦🇺 Scotch fillet plenty of juicy fat -$ 10-12 a piece, Bacon- $9.99 for a kg (2.2lb), $6.00 a dozen free range eggs, 2.2 lb Block of tasty cheese is $10.00, T Bone steaks, $10.00 each for large. Because I don’t buy the other 💩 I have plenty of money to purchase the choicest cuts of meat best type of eggs (grain free, pesticide free) and when you finally get organised you will be able to also. I usually have 2-3 slices of middle bacon for breakfast, around 9-10 am, when I have 2 slices of Bacon, I usually throw in an egg and that keeps me going until about 4 pm, then I have my steak for dinner about 5 pm. I have dinner early so I spend more time intermittent fasting. God bless you and I hope this helps . 😘
There are several carnivore on a budget videos out there.
@@MsDestinedtoReign Thank you for kindly sharing your detailed firsthand experiences.
You give others much hope!
God Bless us all
I'm there with ya, Eye of God. I'm Celiac also. I wish a knowledgeable doc would have tested me decades ago. When you have HLA DQ2 or 8 you should NEVER eat grains, not just wheat, barley, rye and oats. All grains contain some form of gluten mimicking protein. Glad you found what works. Celiac Revelation. Hope you were test for the MTFHR genes as well other blood mutations.
I have 5 Autoimmune Conditions and I have been fighting these for many, many years. I have now been Carnivore almost 7 months and I am SO much better already. This is the first time after trying so many other things that I finally feel great, feel like my autoimmunity is calming down and my body is healing. I tried back a couple plant items recently and my body clearly told me Nope. I am carnivore for life. Still learning, but committed forever at this point.
Hi Dr Berry, I'm 67 years old and suffering fron Psoriatic Arthritis for the last 15 years, also have PKD and T2D. Been on Tofacitinib and Methotrexate for the last 2 years, previously on Humira. In 2021 I cut out all sugars, most carbs and all seed oils. My arthritis is clinically in remision, Methotrexate stopped and Tofacitinib down to half dose. GFR has improved significantly, and Hb1ac is down from 7.3 to 6.2. I started carnivore 12 weeks ago and have lost 22 lbs. BP came down from 135/90 to 115/70. I haven't had a flare up in over 2 years. Still on meds for high BG but working on it.
I heard Jordan Peterson say the same thing once. His daughter went carnivore and was miraculously cured from an auto immune illness..
I LOVE Jordan Peterson! He’s so amazing... as is his daughter, Mikhaela!
Yes, I am on it now and have the same condition (rheumatoid arthritis) as Mikhaila Peterson and I just started a month ago and am already off all meds. I still have a lot of healing to go, but I have never been able to go off meds and have never felt this good since before I was diagnosed.
@@aprilparker9030 I have a friend with RA and she recently found out she had celiac. Getting better now she’s off gluten
@@naomi8097 she should really try carnivore. I've been off meds now for 4 weeks today and if I can help it I'm never going back on. I've felt better than I have in probably 15 years.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Dr Ken! I am a Grave’s disease patient and my endocrinologist told me today that my latest blood test show everything’s normalized, except there’s some antibodies still hanging around. This after going almost totally carnivore. BTW, my lifelong eczema’s all cleared up now.
Hello. That’s great news. Are you still doing well. I have Grave’s too. How long were you carnivore before you felt improvement? Thank you.
Hi there ! How are you ? Hope everything is all right. I have also Grave's disease and planning to do carnivore. Antibodies are the trigger of all auto-immunes diseases and it take much more time to decrease them than hormones. Would be nice to know about your expérience and results now🙂
Yes I’d love to know too.
Anyone else here with Graves trying carnivore?
What exactly did you eat please share. It will be a great help
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. My family has been plagued with autoimmune conditions leading to painful deaths for generations. With this information, hopefully I can say that the buck stops here!
I ve started carnivore a couple of weeks ago and already feeling changes in my body for the better..My Mother has ALS shes in a bad shape. I had starting feeling things in my body and have an inkling that could be familial ALS but dont want to confirm. However came across these lovely Doctors Ken Berry, Anthony and others on carnivore. So decided to give it a try. A couple of weeks in and already feeling so much better, stronger , fatigue gone , body aches , stress etc all gone OMG can t believe it. I am going to put my Mother on this diet. We will have to blend the meat cause she can no longer swallow solid food. She has massive atrophy in the shoulders, paralysis in arms. Only limited use of one arm . Its bad.
I will update when we start niticing changes wish us luck
May the Lord help you in your journey, while there is life there is hope....can't wait to hear your good news!!!
@rose ALS means ankylosis spondylities?,any improvement after taking carnivore diet for AS
Thank you Dr Ken. I was diagnosed with Hoshimotoes in 2015. I struggle with depression, stress, anxiety and anemia. I've been slowly being my own advocate. Started eliminating gluten, then processed foods. Did keto but finally realizing that carnivore helps me feel my best. I was trying fruit and raw honey but have gained weight. So here I go again starting carnivore again.
Wondering how that worked out for you...
It’s so hard when your husband and family do not care to change for their health! Having all the carbs,starches and fruits and vegetables around and cooking all the traditional meals they have always eaten. Your videos help me to stay the course falling off the carnivore plan occasionally. Autoimmune diseases are my reason why. The comments really encourage me. Thank you.
One thing I did was put a sign on my fridge, the dry erase kind. Anything that went in there I couldn't have, I wrote on this sign. I put a big sticker of the skull and crossbones and letters spelling out POISON in bold. It's was a conversation piece at Thanksgiving being we had an ear in kitchen.
Such a creative approach to medical knowledge! Makes a lot of sense: "Our immune systems aren't overactive, they are confused." Thanks so much! Yes, I am blown away. And hopeful.
I started this carnivore way of eating 3 weeks, and 2 days ago. I've lost about 10 pounds, and my arthritic knees have drastically improved. I have more energy, and feel much better. At 76, it has been quite hard to loose any weight. An unexpected bonus, I woke up this morning with an erection, I can't remember the last time that happened. Thank you Doc.
Nice job woody.
This information has been invaluable for me. It fully explains why despite being vigilant with foods,no alcohol, just water, arthritis knee pain persistent. I have taken your advice to try carnivore for 90 days.. am 2 weeks in and already noticing little improvement. Very grateful 🙏to you for shedding light on this painful condition and subject
Hi, I'm new to your channel and very new to carnivore (today is Thursday and I started this past Sunday). I have severe autoimmune disease in the form of psoriatic arthritis and tried keto for several years. While I did lose some weight, it didn't help my joint pain, high blood pressure or high triglycerides. It did help with my high glucose levels after some time. I finally just gave up and sadly went back to eating grains. Now I'm a total metabolic mess and out of curiosity, watched one of your videos. All I can say is WOW, what a difference a few days make! My joints feel so much better already, my blood glucose had already went from a fasting number of 128 to 90 and my blood pressure is low normal. I happened to be at my PCP yesterday and she already wants to lower the dose of my 3-med combo blood pressure medicine. Last but not least, I've lost 9 pounds in 5 days.
All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you!
Oh my goodness! I got horribly sick after trying to eat a legumes rich “plant based” diet! Cavanine! I finally quit trying to “improve “ health and returned to a low carb carnivore diet. I knew about lectins & phytates but these plant based amino acids are really interesting!
and oxalates in the foods.
After a heart operation in April 2020 my daughter moved in to look after me. She is vegan and so for a month I ate only plant based foods. Very tasty and I did start to lose weight. But the rheumatic flare ups were off the scale. After much research it became clear that a vegan diet and an autoimmune disease is a match made in hell. This video confirmed this. I moved to a keto diet and the situation improved. Carnivore for 6 months now and not a flare up in sight! I feel there is still some way to go. I saw my rheumatologist this morning. He looked at my blood work. Verdict: You have no inflammation. I would call that a result. It's a shame I have a brain tumor that makes me feel like crap but at least my joints and heart are now in order. And I'm 70lbs lighter! Many thanks to Dr Berry and Dr Cyves. Eternally grateful.
I also have a brain tumor and I also eat alot of meat, eggs and dairy with a little fruit and black coffee and feel good eating this way

I have RA and have had for 26 years. I found you, Dr. Berry, and I am so happy. I started eating Keto and progressed to Carnivore over the last four months. I have no pain, lost 22 pounds and feel great. My labs are great. CRP in October was 2.065. This is without medications. I have been on 6 different biologics which a few have put me in the hospital from severe reactions. I now have control, thank you, thank you. Luckily, I have a doctor that is supportive and believes in intermittent fasting and eating meats, fish and certain vegetables.
I have RA too with deformed joints and many surgeries , my shoulders were rebuild with Titanium added for strength. What meds do you take ?
I have RA too and I've been carnivore now for a month and off meds for a week and a half. I'm feeling better than I've ever felt with this condition since I was diagnosed almost 3 years ago. I don't hardly have any flare ups anymore. I'm definitely going to stick with it. How are you feeling now?

hey are you still on the keto diet? I’m currently undergoing a lupus flare and I’m very open to start a keto/carnivore diet, just want to hear your perspective.
Yeah. How are doing?
Hello,How are you doing now? Did you go on the carnivore diet? How is your RA& Lupus now?
I’d love to hear an update as well 👏
Also got lupus and RA and have been doing carnivore now for a week and already feel much better. I stopped all meds in December as the side effects were insane
Dr. Berry, you have a real teaching gift. You make things so easy to understand. Thanks for sharing this wealth of knowledge.
What great timing! I found your channel after being diagnosed with a fatty liver. Have been on keto for a year and a half. No more fatty liver. I also have an autoimmune issue and just this week made out a carnivore diet shopping list. Now finding out it may help with autoimmune gave me a real boost. Thanks, Dr. Berry!
You have done it great. F@#%%% those pharamaceticals
Tell us the outcome!
Ketovore has gotten rid of my lichen sclerosis. I am more keto than carnivore but have lived this life for 2.5 years. Within 6 months. No more white patches or itchy dry spots on my upper arm. It is amazing. Thank you for all your time and hard work helping yo educate all of us.
I was on low carb high fat, then fancied 2 baked potatoes big mistake I felt like sh*t the next day my head was all over the place dizzy. Managed to get my blood sugars on track without consuming carbs but it was a wake up call. Starting full carnivore today.
Thank you Dr. Berry! This helps explain the exasperating nature of using diet to cure autoimmune conditions. I get slight improvement for Hashimoto's using AIP diet, for example, but much better results following Paleomedicina in Hungary, which is strict carnivore. They recommend ruminant animals only (no dairy, no coffee, and in the US avoiding pork). They recommend avoiding fish because of contaminants and chicken because it is less nutritious. Their research (on 10,000+ cases) that people with autoimmune disease/leaky gut can be quite reactive to even tiny amounts of plant foods.
About 4 months carnivore and just yesterday and today I have noticed that my fibromyalgia pain is much better. I've seen small improvements along the way, but to finally be in less pain is incredible!
That's great. I have fibromyalgia and been "diagnosed" since jan this yr but had my issues since March 20th last yr. I've tried whole food plant base, was decent but malnourished, always hungry & wasn't enough, Keto was decent, but gradually going from paleo to carnivore now & I feel better. I'm hoping I can rid my fibromyalgia. It sucks the flare ups, headaches etc. Best regards to you I'm your healing journey, sounds like you're on a great track to recovery.
Try bone broth from grassfed animals…it helps with me alot. 80% less pain in joints.
This gives me hope, I started carnivore last week for fibromyalgia and am still working through the die off symptoms. Hope to feel better soon...
@@MilyOsborne it doesn't cause die off symptoms, as nothing is being killed..
She’s probably having issues with the fat.
Went keto in September 2018 to combat severe eczema/psoriasis on my arms and hands, have since transitioned into carnivore. In addition to clearing up my 10 year old skin condition, here's a few unexpected (but welcome) benefits I never anticipated ...
- 60 + lb weight loss. Was close to 250 lbs at my peak, hover around 185 lbs now.
- No longer marching toward pre diabetic condition. I was well on my way.
- Blood pressure back down to normal levels, no longer on BP meds.
- Energy levels not experienced since my 20's (I'm 56) No more afternoon crashes.
- Vastly improved dental health. My gums would bleed just from the simple act of flossing and my teeth were extremely sensitive to temperature extremes, especially cold items. Having my teeth cleaned would put me through the roof. Just got done a cleaning and the hygienist commented on my healthy gums. Tooth sensitivity is a thing of the past now.
As someone with life long digestive problems, I gave up wheat around 20 years ago and noticed improvements in what I thought was IBD, and might have been gluten intolerance. 10 years ago I noticed ongoing, chronic pain in my joints - I do not drive, and walk everywhere, but it became more painful, even though I kept on moving as much as possible. I decided to give up all grains, legumes, and starchy foods. Within 48 hours my joint pain, which I assumed was osteo-arthritis, disappeared and has never returned. I moved to the AIP and was on it for 2 years, with good results. It helped me identify foods I could not return to eating - most nuts, seeds and some tropical fruits. I'm currently on a keto regimen, but now that I'm in my 70's, I'm looking for help on what will keep me active and healthy for the rest of my life. I will check out the research and talk to my kinesiologist - thanks for the information.
Liquid D3 is amazing for joint pain
7 drops or more each day. 👍🏻
oxalates
Definitely something to this diet. My gut is healing itself, My cataracts is healing, both Dr's were amazed an told me to continue doing what I'm doing. Especially my GI dr.The lining of my gut almost completely grew back.Going for blood work ordered by my endo. I will continue the carnivore diet and stop these so called"autoimmune ".
This was quite a discovery for me. I have (b12) anemia. I was diagnosed back in august 2022. I had to take b12 shots monthly since. Boy after month span I feel like a zombie before my next injection.
But after cutting off all junkfood, seed oils and switching to the LCHF diet since my diagnoses, I felt a massive difference in my anemia. Its has gotten so much better, I skipped my monthly injection recently.
I cant wait to hear from my dr about my future blood work results this coming august.
I wonder if that's also why when we switch to carnivore, we don't burn in the sun like we might have in the past. Correct building blocks make healthy skin.
The reason you're not getting a sunburn is because you have dramatically reduced inflammation in your body (and skin) by eliminating all grains, sugars and starches and eating carnivore. Many people have reported this wonderful "side effect" of a carnivore/keto way of eating.
Same here!
Same, and I have very pale and sensitive skin. I do keto-carnivorish diet for 5 months now and skin situation is dramatically improved.
I haven't gotten a sunburn in YEARS. I am an American with irish heritage, so, I'm super fair and in the past could not spend any time in the sun. Now, it doesn't hurt me.
On keto my fibromyalgia symptoms are nearly gone, PCOS, leaky gut. I started carnivore this week to clear my psoriasis and hopefully get rid of that annoying loose skin.
@@medicatedmastermind1879 congratulations! That is awesome! I hope your pain continues to lessen the longer you are eating this way. I know mine has. I eat almost entirely meat now. Enjoy getting your tan this summer!
There are so many "doctors" online claiming just the opposite of what Dr. Berry says, with just as much enthusiasm! I can't believe them. They just don't make any sense. I think all anyone needs to do is talk to their friends and family about what their diet is like, their health, and what their doctors are doing for them, to see that what Dr. Berry says is spot on!.
Just read the comments and testimonials here, and under their lying videos, and then compare. I ended my autoimmune disorder with carnivore.
Dr. Berry, I think after 6 years or so since I discovered your videos it's about time i tell you that you have been one of the best things I've ever discovered on UA-cam, starting with your talk on the "Lies Doctors Tell Us". Thank you so much for your intrepid presentation on so many things that the medical community in general, particularly big pharma, do NOT want common people ever to learn. Your videos truly have been invaluable to me and my health.
Im sitting here this morning in a blizzard of realities. Ive been held down by what I am learning is Sojern's. It started 10 plus years ago.with a stroke with roaring tinnitus. I have been to medical people who sent me away with diagnosis of agitated..hypochodriac..I went carnivore for about 3 months and experienced the most benefit. That was 3 years ago. I am going to start again today. Thank you Dr. Berry for your encouragement..
Dr Berry, like so many Keto and carnivore I have had a learning curve for me, and I have decided to settle on almost all carnivore with an occasional veggie or salad and fatty wild caught ocean fish several times a week to break up the routine. You have provided me with so much working knowledge and although there are several other good experts on you tube, I have a sense of comfort with your no nonsense approach, and because you are an actual medical doctor who has dedicated so much of your life to helping people with health issues.
I’m getting old because I was completely blown away by this video and I just stumbled upon this AGAIN and I’m blown away AGAIN. I can’t believe I forgot about this priceless information !
Thank you for this important information.
Thanks again ❤️🙏👍🙏❤️
I suffered with Lupus for ten years! I’m in remission since October due to Keto Diet! Not to mention, 13 kg lighter! Thank you for the info!
Hey, are you taking veggies/fruits?
@@aman55555-q no fruit except for avocado and only occasional berries, limited veggies : leafy greens, cabbage, cucumbers, cauliflower, broccoli. That’s pretty much it. I now realise, that the lupus was mainly triggered by legumes and excessive nightshades, which I was eating during my vegetarian stage.
@@marias3902hey are you still on the keto diet? I’m currently having a lupus flare up and I’m very open to starting a keto/carnivore diet.
Maria when you say remission do you mean you’re now testing negative on your tests?
Excellent! I’ve had joint problems in the past. I’ve incorporated animal based nutrition and my joint pain has 99% disappeared. Now once in awhile I’ll have a salad or broccoli. But what I will eat fruit quite often. My theory is fruit wants to be eaten. Including avocado.
Thank you so much for your videos! I just started carnivore about a week ago. I suffer from Crohn's Disease and had six surgeries this summer due to a breast abscess that randomly formed from the inflammation in my body. I'm 24 years old and my health has held me back from my life so much. I already feel stronger, have more energy, and I have way less symptoms. My mood has improved as well. I am loving it so far and plan to continue!
Any update?!
@@chantellenolan This diet has completely changed my life. I'm still on it and doing amazingly well. My symptoms are completely under control and I feel better than I have in years. I can live completely normally now. I'm not afraid to go out with friends or enjoy events anymore. I have my life back.
I've lost some weight, too, though that wasn't my original purpose. I put on muscle like crazy even though I only do very mild exercise. I look just as good as I feel. I had to buy smaller pants 😂
Now that the inflammation is under control, I'm adding some foods back into my diet and am really able to pinpoint trigger foods. I can snack on mushrooms and some veggies, and I can season my meat with plenty of nice herbs. Carb heavy foods trigger symptoms, but even if something does cause problems, my body handles it way better now. I can cheat a little bit here and there and enjoy a meal out with my friends without having to worry anymore. I haven't needed any kind of pain killers or stomach-soothing meds since I started. This has been a miracle for me.
@@epicninjasquirrelluv wow. Thank you so much for the update. I am so encouraged by your story! My husband and I are going to start carnivore soon. I have Hashimotos, psoriasis, anemia, and who knows what other autoimmune issues. I’ve tried all the elimination diets before. God bless!
@@chantellenolan good luck!! I really hope it works for you! I will keep you both in my prayers!
@@epicninjasquirrelluv Congratulations, my Dear! SO glad to hear this from you!
God Bless us all
Damn right about immune system not being "too strong" but rather "confused". Two years ago I ate anything I wanted and yet I used to catch flu often. Then I was put on medication for newly diagnosed ms, then I stopped taking it and started keto. Today is my 2nd day on full carnivore. Looking forward to the day I visit my doctor and show her photos of what I eat in a day just to irritate her👌
how's it going with carnivore diet so far?
@@haos4574 good so far!
@@olgagerman9216 which type of MS do you have Remitting MS or Progessive MS? and how are you doing now?. i havent been diagnosed been to many doctors they cant find evidence of anything even with my physical symtoms crippling me. i get burnning senstation in muscles, a sensativity to cold on parts of my body where its affected. muscle twitches everywhere. even the bottom of my foots twitch non stop. i cant use some muscles anymore cant engage them. my muscles get tired very easily exercising is a challenge even working is getting difficult. i tell every medical professional and specialist that its possibly Progressive MS but my MRI Nerve tests every tests i have done come back negative. im a healthy individual when i first started my workout jouney early 20s now im 32 and im getting close to not being able to be active. i have tried many diets as its the only thing i can do in my power since im not getting help from professionals. no diet has helps much and i get a strange reaction when eating certain foods that cold sensativity i mentioned before i get it after 5 mins of eating like a banana. an orange watermelon can trigger it. so now im doing the lion diet so far its been 2 weeks not sure if i notice any improvements yet maybe its too soon for me. as the doc from the video mentions maybe my body needs to replase all the false amino acids my tissues have to have results i wonder how long does that take.
Can you share your results now?
Are you still going and how did that appt with the Dr go ?
I have psoriasis and recently was told I was allergic to legumes, peanuts, & tree nuts. Makes sense now!! Sharing with my FB group.
Thank you for sharing that. might be our first confirmation of the connection Dr. Berry is talking about
I also have plaque psoriasis and have seen some improvement on the inflammation following a Keto/Paleo/Psoriasis diet. However, I still have the dry flaking skin issue. Where would I go to get an allergy test done based on my psoriasis? Would I go to a dermatologist or my regular doctor? Would love to know what I may be allergic to.
I tried vegan tried " the most o healing diet" lol. Nothing changed it made things worst.Made my health go really bad on the diet.Now im on a carnivour diet and im doing good.
Angel Santiago I would definitely like to know that info myself. I’ve been told that an O.A.T test along with a Gut Biome test are the 2 most important tests you can take. Your gut is the key to you body. I don’t think your allowed to get those tests in NY though sadly. Not sure as to why, but that’s interesting if true. Please post any of your findings etc. I’m thinking of having all those tests done personally. It’s also tough to get them read in some states I hear.
You may have just given me an answer. I'm 68 and just developed psoriasis on my hands and feet. I tried to think what I was eating that was new and might have triggered this and all I could think of was almond flour. Do you know if coconut is considered a tree nut?
I was told I had Sjogrens syndrome , a undetermined soft tissue disease that attacked my muscles, tendons and ligaments and fibromyalgia. After listening to Neisha's videos on how she felt with hashimoto's disease I am convinced that I was suffering from it as well, even though my basic thyroid tests were always normal. I have horrible drug allergies and the only thing they could find that I could tolerate was prednisone, which I was on for about 12 yrs. After going keto there was a huge change in my health and now I'm ketovore and am off all my medications.
Super super
I also have Sjögren’s syndrome and IBS. I am considering going on the carnivore diet. I hope it helps me. I have not been diagnosed with celiac disease but I have noticed that I feel much better and my digestive tract works much better when I leave off all grains.
did you gain a lot of weight on Prednisone and did it impact your bone health ? My doctor is not happy with me , as I so far have refused this med.
@@bgueberdenteich5206 Yes, I gained over 60 lbs. It does cause issues with your bones, but I didn't have any apparent bone issues because of it though, not sure why, I know other people who did.
If you can avoid it don't take it, especially long term.
@@joannalynn1547 I had IBS as well. Everything works great now, unless I fall off the wagon, and then I tend to get hard stools.
This is so interesting! I gave up garlic and onion to help with IBS symptoms about a year ago and it DID HELP me. It was part of a low FODMAP diet I found. I started KETO a few weeks ago and feel better. This video really explains exactly why giving up those foods helped. I know so many people with auto-immune diseases. Thanks for this video!! Information is always good!
I am predominantly non vegetarian, but my friends are pure vegetarians. When i used to stay for extended periods of time with my friends and eat lots of pulses and legumes i used to get sick all the time with all kinds of symptoms. When i was back alone these symptoms used to just disappear in no time. I had no clue what was wrong, after seeing this video suddenly everything makes sense.
I was vegan for 8 years and vegetarian for 12 years . I’m now combatting health issues which no doctor has been able to address, I think it may be Hashis I started eating meat and have felt much better, I’m gonna try this carnivore diet . Thank you
Me too , I have fibromyalgia and lupus, been vegan 10yrs , did raw too but couldn't keep it going , thinking I am going to try this...
Been vegan for 14 years and feel amazing since all Meat eaters around me are dealing with health issues. My blood works always amaze my doctor. She said I don't know what you are doing but keep doing it. My friend has MS and is a Big Meat eater.
@@thalia_artist I’m very happy for you 🙏🏽 I wish there was something I could do as I’ve tried everything but as a mother of two I can’t afford to be in and out of the hospital as I was.
@@MamamialaureLI understand your point and Hope you feel better but I don't think being sick is because of being on a plant based diet unless its unbalanced (as any kind of diet could be unbalanced). Carnivore diet is an unbalanced diet so to balance it people should add fruits and veggies at least. By design human is not carnivore. On the long term it can damage your kidney and it can be irreversible (too much proteins ). Many Drs have debunked this carnivore diet so many times and no unbiaised study exist to prove the anecdotical results we can ear from carnivore dieters. The gurus said its backed by science but I could'nt find any long term study about it. So if you find one please send me the link. Plus many bodybuilder (high Meat eaters) died from kidney failure. And the Carnivore Guru Paul Saladino (which is a psychiatrist) don't even eat a carnivore diet anymore since he had health issues while on it. But anyone can eat whatever they want but I think this diet is a sad diet. Particulary for animals.
@@thalia_artist Strict Carnivore is not same as omnivore
Ankylosing spondylosis for over a decade. Went keto Oct 2019 and have been fitter and healthier than ever before.
Completely cured??
this is evidence that a bad diet can cause autoimmune disease. doctors are clueless in treating autoimmune diseases.
Was just diagnosed with spondylosis (mild) in lower back & scoliosis. Any suggestions? I have been on Keto for awhile now. Lost some weight. Thank You
Hell yeah me too ... it's worked better than anything so far. My rheumatologist said low starch diet but it was so hard trying to figure out what had starch and it's not listed on nutrition labels. Just said screw carbs all together. Plus I know sugar is bad and without sugar and starch it would be impossible to get enough carbs. Thankfully keto is so similar and super popular.
@@dominic2446 no my rheumatologist recommended low starch diet. One strong theory on what causes AS is a bacteria called kelebesia that lives in the gut microbiome. I believe it resembles a collagen that's mainly in the spine and eyes of people with the HLb-27 gene. They know it has something to do with the gut microbiome. They are doing fecal transplant research right now for ankylosing spondylitis. We don't need to do that. What you eat is your microbiome. I think people don't want to hear strict diet. They want pills. They are easy and convenient. Plus the doctor and everyone up the medical chain is making more money off of meds. I like this guy. He isn't trying to sell us anything.
Graves Autoimmune RAI survivor here🙋♀️ We L❤VE YOU, DOC BERRY!👍
This is not only eye-opening but a life-changer! Thank you Dr. Berry! 👏👏👏❤️
You're so right. It works in my body. It's also sad to read in internet about this inmune systems illness and some Magazines and traditional doctors recommend their patients to eat plants. The truth is that this doctors take one semester of nutrition class. they just care about pharma business or surgery, but reality shows that 90% of our good health comes from good food, that's exclude carbos, sugar ,processed food, and plants. In this modern times It's a war between functional doctors and traditional doctors. We, as patients must make our own research, try and then find the truth. Thanks so much Doctor Berry for your wisdom and experience in order to help us. Greetings from Ecuador.❤
I live in Calgary Alberta , Canada and have had great results following clean Keto and now mostly Carnivore way if eating! I thank you so much Dr Berry and Neisha for sharing your incredible knowledge and insights with us! I have 2 autoimmune disorders. The first one was diagnosed 10 years ago, that being Behcet’s.
Then just last summer I was diagnosed also with Lichen Sclerosus.
Years before had tremendous suffering with endo and had huge benign ovarian growths which were surgically removed.
Since eating this way for about 60 days I have no more endometrial adhesion pain which was a daily occurrence. Also my joint pains have subsided and my almost constant headaches are going away. Thank you so very much!
Has it helped your lichen schlerosis?? Are you still doing it?
Add myself to the list, I started Carnivore in November 2019 coming from a strict keto diet, I have 6 autoimmune illnesses that have plaqued me since I was 12 years old, some were acquired lately in life. Now at age 52 on strict Carnivore I am feeling better than I can remember in years. I have rhuemetory arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Candida, celiac disease, IBS, sjogren's syndrome, wiith all of that I was 280 Lbs. now Im down to 185 Lbs. I am no longer in constant pain, no more knee pain, joint pain. With bad advice from many doctors over the years I took Prilosec for 22 years and anti inflammatory meds from my arthritis doctor, and many other prescription drugs, all of which could have been avoided.
Glad ur better!
Wow thats awesome! How is it going for you? I have IBS and a mix of sjögrens/ rosacea/ lupus + cronic fungal infections. I am going to try Carnivore i think..

I have MS that seems to be slowly but surely getting worse - I’m devastated by not being able to have shallots/garlic/onions (taste so good) since I’ve already given up so much - but Carnivore is worth a try. If nothing else it would be good elimination diet for 90 days I would think. Lord help us heal!! Thank you Dr Berry!
I'm sorry it must be horrible. Hope the diet works!
Hi, any update? Did you do the diet? Did your symptoms improve? Thanks
My friend has MS and that’s why we are trying carnivore! Anyone will success?
How do you feel now, any success on the diet?
@@aprilparker9030 trying carnivore much more strictly this month- spent the year doing keto/low carb again and couldn’t lose weight - symptoms were steady.
Thank you Dr Berry!!! Tragic state of medical care today. You are making a huge difference for people.
I struggle with Rheumatoid Arthritis, fibro, and thyroid disease. I am here to learn. My Dr. suggested following you and the carnivore diet.
I was just diagnosed 3 weeks ago with a form of Microscopic Colitis called Lymphocytic Colitis. It was triggered by Covid. I have been on keto for 3 years because it helped alleviate so many health problems had I previously suffered from. But keto wasn't helping with the colitis symptoms. I think your video finally explains why. I've been eating carnivore (minus eggs and dairy) since my diagnosis, just because I thought it would be a great elimination diet. I had planned to incorporate keto friendly things back into my diet to see what I react to, but after your research, I think the only things I'll incorporate back in after 90 days are eggs and dairy. Thank you so much for all your research efforts! ❤️ I will be sharing this with my LC group on Facebook!
Add to your list ME/CFS. I was 100% bedbound for 4/5 years and later 80% bed/housebound. I am now OMAD and have a high protein/fat diet. The difference is huge. I still pace myself and generally need 10 hours sleep but I have seen an amazing improvement in my health and ability to do many of the things I enjoyed before I went down with the virus that caused my ME. At 50 I struggled to take a bath without the help of my husband. At 61 it's like I've regained the lost years.
I was told ME is lifelong and untreatable. I don't believe there is a cure but I can honestly say I've reversed many of the disabling symptoms.
I have Me/CFS too for 25 years now .. I am coping much better with Meat based. Hoping to fully reverse it. This way of eating has hands down been the easiest on my stomach and crappy digestion.
@@CatWoman6 I too am 25 years in ME/CFS. Tried everything. Even did Keto for 18 months but when I had a full relapse 4 years ago I have been struggling terribly. My RA has also flared up so I am going to give this a try. I did do better on Keto so maybe going to the next level may help. Just hard to get back up when you are really sick.
@@childoftheking2214 it's not a Magic Bullet but it does make life easier but sadly I have such weak stomach acids so everything I eat is a challenge to digest for my body unfortunately but I am still holding hope that one day this will be better at least- easier than it is now. I'm sorry that you've suffered so long also. How have you coped and managed?.. it's been devastatingly difficult for me. I eat mainly ground beef and some fish and ghee. How is your digestion?. I have really low stomach acid sadly.
@@childoftheking2214 very hard to try try again when you are unwell. I know how that is. It's a nightmare healthwise to have M.e/cfs
@@CatWoman6 Thank you for responding so quickly. You are the first person I have connected with who has been sick with this horrid illness for the same amount of time. With the Lord’s help I have coped as best I could over the years. But now that I am in my late 60’s age is becoming a factor. I am probably more like a person in their mid 80’s. I have IBS, as I am pretty sure you do too as it seems to come with the illness. Though I have had that all my life. If anything I produce too much stomach acid so I don’t have the problem you do. I am giving myself a gentle kick in my butt and starting Keto again today. Once I have been on it for a few months I will try the carnivore for a short time to see if it helps also. Hope you are doing well today.
I no longer have any of the "auto immune" ailments since I began your basic human diet. My stomach is fine, I take few prescriptions, and I've lost 35 pounds in 4 months. Thank you.
I have MS and i am going to give this a try. The meds are crazy expensive !! I was started on Aubagio and it is 8000.00 for a 30 day supply , Thank God MS one to one had paid for that but since they now developed a generic which is Teriflumanide i do not get help with that its 4000.00 a month for a 30day supply. I feel like i am getting worse even though i have no new lesions on my brain mri. I had told the dr that and they did say that ms is a progressive disease and even though i have no new lesions with the med i could continue to feel like this. I am willing to try anything at this point. Thank you for putting this information out there!! God bless you and your family 💗
How you are doing now with the diet?
Can you please do a video about Graves disease? Thank you for all of your amazing videos!!
This is so amazing! I have watched this 5 times and wish I could give this one 5 thumbs up for each watch!! I wish more people would understand how amazingly detrimental plant toxins can really be for humans and other mammals.
I can honestly say Keto and carnivore have reversed my Type II diabetes. I had tried carnivore during lent and it did not agree with me because I was listening to the " you have to eat 2 lbs a day UA-cam channels and I just could not eat that much. I started again from Keto to carnivore a week ago and this time it is agreeing with me thus far. I have Fibromyalgia and a debilitated back from a horrible surgery. Fingers crossed that carnivore at least reduces my pain. It has reduced inflammation for sure😃 You are my favorite....straight shooter, you push no supplements and tell us to listen to our body. Thanks for all that you do! Here's to beef, bacon and butter...sorry I just cannot do liver and sardines🤣🤣
How did it go for you? I am struggling with fibro too and just started keto
How about an update? How are you doing now?
I've been on Carnivore for 2 weeks. I have Sarcoidosis and was to the point where I was going to need infusions. So far my symptoms have improved drastically. You're doing great work here. 👍🏼
I have sarcoid too, it started in my lungs ,then trvaeled to my liver and spleen. They had me on prednisone for 6 months 6 months then methotrexate with humira when my spleen and liver were enlarged. Anyway I electively stopped the meds once my organs size reduce. My lungs of course are scarred and having trouble breathing. Whats kicking my butt now is acid reflux so ,im gonna do veggies and meat with my water
How’s your progress now? Have you defeated this condition with carnivore diet.
I was constructed with GBS, which is when the anti-bodies attack the cells, I wanted to know if the carnivore diet would be the right diet help prevent or slow Gillian Bre' Syndrone from advancing?

@@clarissamck Won't happen, folks think it's the meat that causes constipation -- it's really the veggies/grains...that fiber theory is....is a theory, unproven with science. Since I moved from Keto to 95% Carnivore (I like my coffee)...constipation is a thing of the past.
@@clarissamck Constipation is a non-issue once you are keto adapted, provided you eat fatty meats.
If you are concerned about the adaptation period, then keep a laxative on hand.
@@clarissamck Search youtube for Dr Paul Mason and fiber you will find the answer there
@@ivermec-tin666 if you eat enough salt or drink it if you must, then this shouldn't be an issue as well. However if you3re dependent on laxatives it may take a long time to bounce from it due to loss of bowel tone. 🙏
I'm floored. All of this resonates with me and I think I finally know what destroyed my thyroid. Sadly, my thyroid attacked itself starting in my 20's. By my 40s, despite all I did to change it, it became a massive goiter and had to be removed. Interestingly, right before my thyroid just went haywire, a "doctor" (Andrew Lessman) who I later found out went to law school and has some kind of background in medicine but hadn't really practiced on real patients, started pushing a women's wellness formula that contained huge amounts of soy isoflavones. Soybeans, as we now know, are a particularly dangerous legume to consume in excess. When I had my surgery (that I kept putting off until it was almost lethal in size because I was so desperate to heal) my surgeon said it was one of the biggest she had ever seen. Can't even describe what this did to my self esteem and I ended up having complications during surgery due to its size. I also gained a ton of weight despite being on the "right" dose of thyroid hormone replacement. I was on low carb for a couple of weeks with no weight loss. Pre-diabetic, elevated blood pressure. 150 pounds overweight and only 5'5". So I started carnivore a few days ago. No stevia ir other additives. Just beef, eggs, chicken, pork with grass fed butter or ghee. I even let go of my last addiction today...coffee. Not sure where this journey will lead but I'm an optimist and a person of faith and I believe that no matter what happened in the past, I can begin again. Looking forward to a better life....
I too fell for the soy myth. I used it for years in daily coffee and lost my thyroid to cancer 3 years ago
@@kirsten1007 I'm so sorry...and I feel a kindred connection to you and every woman who got misled into the "soy trap" and ended up sick because of it. Back when I fell into it, there were some so called promising studies on women in Asia who eat tofu and had received health benefits...but I later learned that what they were eating didn't amount to the massive amounts of isoflavones being packaged in those supplements. I'm just looking forward to a healthier life. I wish you health and healing...
@@Nina-fh1bg how are you now?, i really want to know and hope you have a good journey
@bullterrier3518 Not so great but I haven't given up. On carnivore, I had constant digestive issues. Lost a little weight (20 pounds) but hit a plateau. My energy levels never adjusted to no carbs. I stayed on it faithfully for 6 months. That doesn't mean it won't work you. So many have been successful. I just have to find another way.
I started the carnivore diet 90 days ago. However, I started using various spices and then having food or drinks that are keto friendly and then cheat days that last for 3-5 days..on and on.
My point! I need to do a 90-day carnivore diet of simply meat, salt, and no cheating.
Anyone out there who has done carnivore to help Lichen sclerosus?
Carnivore for over 2 years. Celiac & Duhring’s disease, PHP (with an autoimmune component), and adenomyosis symptoms have either been eliminated or lessened through animal-based eating and fasting.
I have endometriosis...maybe I will try this. Do you still eat dairy or have you cut it out?
I eat very little dairy. Honestly, I feel best without it, but I love cheese, so it’s more or less a PMS treat.
Cori CRAFT I really wish I’d have known about keto or carnivore before. I have Graves’ disease/ killed thyroid 16 yrs ago and had adenomyosis which resulted in a hysterectomy at age 38. (8yrs ago) I’m full ketovore now. Haven’t been able to go completely carnivore, but the past 1 1/2 yrs, has been my healthiest yet!
I’m so glad you finally found relief! I quite literally stumbled into what I know as carnivore today. I didn’t know it was a thing. I’d known I had celiac disease for over a decade and developed Duhring’s disease after unknowingly being cross contaminated in my own home. When the rash and blisters would not go away after stripping the house clean, I was put on an elimination diet in order to avoid having to take rounds of antibiotics and steroids. I kept a food diary and I continued to pull every food I had a negative reaction to. Eventually all I was left with was eggs and fish-I was plant-based prior to. Every time I tried to reintroduce a food back in I’d have a reaction. Eventually, I began to add in muscle meat and organs to survive. After a month or so my skin cleared and slowly I began to see other issues improve-completely unexpected! The intention was never to stay on this limited group of foods, but I can’t imagine going back to how I felt before. I started poking around the internet to see if it was possible to live like this and found Sally K. Norton and Georgia Ede, and discovered some carnivores on Twitter. The rest is history.
Upon reading your success with Ketogenic diet to improve adenomyosis, I have faith that it is a safe option for me. Thank you! 😊
It’s crazy because I have been eating a lot of raw veggies and fruits and earned myself lupus that way! At least I know what caused it finally! I’ve been suffering for six months with it! And couldn’t figure out why but now I’m clear! Thank you doc!
How do you feel now?
Why not cook the vegetables Dr. Goldner cured her autoimmune disease on a plant based diet
Yes that’s what we all want to know how you feel now because I have same issue
And the Lupus Foundation recommends lots of fruits, veg and whole grains! They are killing people with this information.
Doesn't sound like lupus. It takes on average 6 yrs to get a lupus diagnosis and it doesn't just go away like that. I've had Lupus (diagnosed 2006) for years and been on so many treatments, even participated in 2 drug trials because I was that desperate. I've been eating Keto for 3 weeks and my symptoms are improving. Thinking about going 100% carnivore.
Graves’ disease! I got off the meds by eating Carnivore!
@Acai Lover Films Hyperthyroidism, from a quick google search
How how long did it take you to get off your meds?
Thank you 🙏
I have grave disease, I wish 12yrs ago I knew about keto or carnivore before they removed all my thyroid gland😒😏😒🥺. Now, I am hypothyroidism. Levoxyl 75mg for life🥺🥺🥺
Me too. My endocrinologist can't figure out why anti-thyroid antibody level has bottomed out. He'll never admit that it's my keto diet and intermittent fasting. I know it is.
Wow! This is what I was diagnosed with 26 years ago, I am now 62!
I have RA ,Lupus, Hashimo thyroiditis,diabetic I'm watching.
Wow, this make sense. I have been hearing that a carnivore diet greatly helps autoimmune conditions. Dr Berry made it clear. I am one of those people that needs all the info and if it makes sense, then I am signed on and motivated. I have refused medicine for my lupus / sjogrens / mixed connective tissue for 18 years because I wouldn't give up looking for the real reason my body was doing this. I have always believed that diet, environment, stress is the key. My docs all think I am difficult. I am going to start the carnivore diet asap! Thank you, Dr. Berry!
How do you feel now ? Is the diet works with you?
I would also love to know if you tried and stayed with the carnivore diet and how it is helping you (hopefully).
My body has always preferred meat above everything else. It’s just amazing how good I feel when I don’t eat carbs. I do tend to get bored, but I recently started watching Neisha’s channel and she has so many fantastic ideas, I think my days of food boredom are over!
I have not checked out her Channel yet, maybe I should go there soon. I am not bored yet. The novelty of eating bacon whenever I want hasn't faded yet. But I do know how to season things. And I'm not currently doing carnivore, but rather beginning into Keto
Wow avoid healthy carb like sweet potato which purple potatoes. Red blood cell only run on healthy. Okinawans ate mainly healthy carb and is the longest lived people with no chronic to health issues.
Who's Neisha and what's her channel?
@@jameswright3972 Sweet potatoes aren't healthy. They're starches, which turns into sugar and spikes BS and insulin, which leads to insulin resistance.
Okinawans are outliers and considering most people on this planet aren't from Okinawa, you're argument is invalid.
Edit: Want healthy red blood cells? Eat liver.
