Judy, all of us who are living proof that CIRS is real are so thankful for your advocacy, information and helping others understand the reality of CIRS! Thank you, truly!
Carnivore 10 months now. Had RA for 20 years, due to chronic mold exposure for 10 years, mostly kept at bay without any meds. Last November got covid, turned on worst RA attack ever.. Almost crippled me, so went carnivore. Reduced inflamation markedly within a week or so. Unforftunately inflamation been gradually getting worse over the past few months. Tried giving up coffee and dairy for 30 days with no benefit. Just got covid again this November. Now inflamation is out of control again. Just ordered Ivermectin to rule out parasites. Will get whatever binders I can get my hands on too. Hope it works. Also just about every joint in my body feels like it's full of gravel, (Oxalates). I wish there were doctors like you guys here in Melbourne Australia. I am so sick of being sick !!! Definitely CIRS.
Be careful with the ivermectine just my research but it's very harsh. A multimix of anti parasitic herbs taken seasonally is more gentle on the body (and work great in my experience). The healing journey is looooong. May God strengthen you physically and mentally in your journey 👏
I think mold was the tipping point for me with a bathroom remodel and leaking. Then it went all through the HAVAC. There was no remuneration when there were further repairs and remodeling. I also think that in addition to modern airtight building practices, flat roofs are notorious for leaking. Office buildings, schools, and hospitals don't have windows that opened! Also, having mold-resistant paint has killed off the less innocuous mold and created stronger, hardier strains that are more toxic.
A specific mold species caused me to have very low ferritin (22) while I lived in a WDB, even though I was eating mostly carnivore. Even after moving out, my ferritin did not raise. Why? I realized that I needed to space my Welchol binder away from my big carnivore meals, otherwise it will bind to the iron in the meal. Now I take the binders with a small snack, away from my big meals. Hopefully this will save someone the 6 months it took me to figure it out.
CIRS is real. I have it…I am glad I found some answers because I have been searching for years. get out of our moldy place is hard. I was diagnosed over a year and a half ago….but I won’t give up. I was laid off. my husband also left his job that was killing him…and now we are waiting to move to a dryer state. or even a dry country. We are considering lots of options. what ever falls into our laps we will take it. we will leave all of our things behind (accept photos and sentimental things) and start this new adventure of ours. wish me luck.
I had bad reflux symptoms together with horrible skin rashes or whatever it was and was really itchy. All said chronic urticaria and reflux. I went to a dermatologist in Poland and she told me to eat only cooked meat for 2 weeks which I didnt do. I was never allergic to anything. Now after over 1 year here im doing carnivore and feeling better. Now I know why she told me that eating meat would help me eliminate toxins (which back then I didnt take seriously) Thank you Polish doctor. Only u were aware. Other treated me with pills for allergy and antireflux medicine and after many tests it all showed negative for GERD. And it was living in hell with 24/7 burning and stomachache.
I am also a part of a group that is intensely working on Mind Body Syndrome (symptoms) and found even a little Mind Body really helps! I got sick in part because I was so afraid of this and that, everything became dangerous and scary. I had to spend time reminding myself if others have healed, I can too, my body is working for me, not against me. If I remind my son that X allergen is natural and just a part of our world, his body can handle it...his reactions lessen. If I remind myself that my body is made to heal and I am giving it every chance with healthy meats & practices and chance to get rid of unhelpful cells and build new cells...I find that I am healing faster. Just because a Dr. told me I would always have X or I was born with X ...does not mean it is permanent (or sometimes even true).
I would love to see more video content on the Actinomyces angle- I tried to read your article where you discuss a difference of opinion with Shoemaker on this …but agggh, I have CIRS brain fog. I am thankful for all the work that you do, spreading the word about CIRS and Carnivore. 🖤
Only super wealthy people can afford to recover from CIRS. I'm unable to work anymore because of my illness, and still having trouble getting on disability. Can barely pay living expenses. Living in low income housing that is making me sick, but have no where else to move to. There's no possible way I can shell out thousands and thousands of dollars to get testing and treatment. I know there are many who are in my same predicament!
Yes, me too. Its especially unfortunate that our J'ish rulers have tanked the economy with their fiat pyramid scam. Even healthy people are struggling to make ends meet, much less those of us who are ill. Don't give up. Fight like your life depends on it. They want us dead. Your life matters.
If you can get the Cholesterol lower meds...those are the binders...Instead of a Statin...insist on the correct Rx for mold. But also look into Mind Body ways of thinking. There are youtube post for free. (Back pain techniques work for CIRS too) Someone mentioned Pain Free You. Listen to Dr. Westman for how to do carnivore cheaply. I can't afford to spend either...
it's definitely easier if you have resources. But it's not just for the super-wealthy. That's negative thinking. We have people who are desperate but have the tenacity to heal and are now living in a tent (a few hundred $ dollars?) and taking the binder. The most important step is to get out of mold. They don't do all the testing and instead manage based on symptoms. To give up so easily when you can have your health back is, frankly, heartbreaking. When there is a will to heal, people find a way. I've seen it with my own eyes with some of my most diligent and courageous patients. Is it easy? No. But is healing possible to live a better life? Yes. When people are sick and really sick, the will to live diminishes. And I fight everyday so that people don't reach that point.
@@NutritionwithJudy My will to live has definitely dimished, and I can't "live in a tent". I'm 61 years old, terribly sick, and in pain 24/7. This comment felt kind of shaming. As if I don't want to feel better "bad enough" to do whatever it takes to heal, even if I'm not physically or mentally capable of it.
I have been doing carnivore for almost 2 years, and inflammation is not subsiding, my immune system is always on fire, inflammation in my gut and my eyes causing me disabling symtoms. I have started to do stuff to regulate my immune system, sprinting, 24h fasting mainly. I like in a water damaged house, so I suspect CIRS, but haven't had income in 3 years so no money to move out. This has been hell, I am trying to get back yo work to afford getting out of here. Yhe main problem is the severe eye pain that mess all my activities.
Judy, regarding oxalates, you reference the same article that all the vegans reference. It is true that a majority of the oxalates in your body are endogenously produced, IF you are on a low oxalate diet! If you are consuming things like spinach almond smoothies every day, then that is not even close to being true.
Of course, I specifically mentioned oxalates in relation to eating Carnivore. We should all eat low or no oxalates. But when eating 0 oxalates and you are presumable still dumping after years of carnivore, there are issues likely beyond oxalates.
@@NutritionwithJudy Thanks. Two thoughts. First, studies have shown that if you take a patient with primary hyperoxaluria, and give them a liver transplant, essentially curing the disease, it can take over 7 years for the patient to clear out all of the oxalates. I can show you an article with the graphs if you like. Second, one issue with clearing oxalates that hardly anyone talks about is the importance of urine and body pH. If you are acidic, such as with an acidic diet like the carnivore diet, it's going to be harder to clear oxalates, since they are relatively insoluble at acidic pH. They are going to tend to stick in the peripheral tissues and they are definitely going to stick in the renal interstitium. Furthermore, calcium oxalate is going to be harder to clear from your bones, since it is a weaker acid buffer compared to hydroxyapatite, carbonate, and bicarbonate, which are the other forms of calcium in your bones. Your body is going to preferentially choose these latter forms to buffer an acidic diet. For all these reasons, your oxalate-loaded carnivore clients may benefit from the alkalinizing effect of bicarbonate or citrate supplementation, or, alternatively, they could gnaw on bones. (I do both. The soft ends of chicken bones don't splinter.)
I had CIRS a few years ago and breast implant illness. It destroyed my health! I moved and got bitten by a tick that gave me a PCR Babesia Mycroti and other vector borne infections, and several viruses resurfaced. My Lyme doctor says I don’t have Lyme anymore after treatment, but have multiple infections, for which I’m being treated with plant medicines. I have pain and malaise every day and I just want to feel normal without pain meds. I tried going off them, but my nervous system was on high alert, including my bladder! Is CIRS still an issue for me? I’m asking not only for myself, but for my grown son, who is horribly sick and in pain after having severe mold toxicity, several Lyme diseases, and then long Covid. When he was also diagnosed with Lyme, he got horrible neuropathy and pain, then the vaccine and Covid exacerbated his pain and psychiatric issues. I believe he’s had Lyme since childhood and had meningoencephalitis at age 7, which changed his personality. He’s 38, has addictions, and can’t function. He’s constantly angry and psychotic. He’s now seeking drug abuse help, and the suboxone is taking away some pain. He doesn’t want to start Lyme treatment again. I’m at a loss.
Yes, it can be. CIRS doesn't just go away. We are managing it, and the goal is not to set it off or become imbalanced. I also would strongly consider mind-body work from your share. I am very sorry. We have many mothers who struggle with balancing their child who has CIRS (and a lot of the symptoms/conditions that come along with the illness). I would strongly consider CIRS testing for both you and your son. Big hugs.
@@NutritionwithJudy Thank you for responding! I told him and his father that. I have a specialist he can see, but I’m wondering if functional or naturopathic medicine would be more helpful, since we already know he has it, and maybe it’s more cost effective. Would you suggest I send your link to them, here in Rochester, MI? Or, should we find a provider here. It’s so complex, the doctors don’t know what to do for him. I know, because I’ve researched this heavily and have it myself. 🩷
CIRS can be caused by a triggering event like a tick bite infection. I've listened twice to Dr shoemaker explaining to Judy and he says it won't turn off by itself. The binder then the medicine called VIP to turn off the genes causing all the inflammation. Judy is talking about it here but I know for people without a biology or immunology background it all sounds like wah wah wah The short version is the triggering event can be mold or the triggering event could be a tick bite that causes your system to get damaged and attack itself. Genes get turned on. Those genes get turned off by taking medicine VIP. In order to get the medicine cholestyramine and the medicine VIP you have to have a prescribing provider. Find a provider that will do minimum testing. Judy might already know which providers will do the least testing because that's where it gets ridiculously expensive!
I’m so bummed that my thyroid has gotten worse after a year in carnivore - and because my thyroid is worse, my cholesterol is terrible (but my CAC score is 0). Despite being a self-proclaimed ketogenic doctor, my doctor thinks that carnivore is damaging for cortisol, thyroid, and glucose. He think I need to add carbs back in and wants me to start medication. I’ve been tested for CIRS, mold, toxins, etc. Even my hormones are now within normal range (thanks to carnivore), but my thyroid and cholesterol keep getting worse. My biggest question I’m struggling with right now is whether or not I’ve actually been doing a ketogenic diet, despite being carnivore. I’m wondering if I haven’t been doing the right thing. If you eat too much protein as a carnivore and constantly rely on gluconeogenesis to convert protein to glucose, is that really keto? Because my ketones were always in a non therapeutic range and my glucose was always too high. After the disappointment of my last blood work, I switched up my diet to begin my day with only fat and end my day with only fat and limited my protein to only in the afternoons. Once I did that, my ketosis finally kicked in and I noticed a huge change in my metabolism. So is it possible that I’ve been sabotaging my carnivore diet by managing when and how much protein I eat? Is it really a ketogenic diet if we never get into ketosis?
Lean meat must be supplemented by adding fat. Most meat in the grocery store has been trimmed too much or didn't contain enough fat in the first place.
I'd read this article and then consider if you fall into any of the reasons thyroid can get worse on carnivore (e.g., low fat, undereating). www.nutritionwithjudy.com/the-carnivore-diet-and-low-thyroid
I think I have the same issues when on carnivore. My adrenals take a hit when I do low to zero carb and then my thyroid suffers. I don't enjoy high fat lower protein carnivore so I've had to add back some carbs. I couldn't sleep through the night on carnivore and was irritable.
@tb54321 ~ thanks for posting, interesting .. same as other comment I'm wondering if you've tried kelp/ iodine for thyroid, also selenium? I take ionic drops, no taste, check with a pendulum & it's nearly always a yes please. Getting braver to take iodine internally, not just on wrist.. Lugol's 15% solution is what I've been using, just 2drops in glass of water. Other supplements (with research & dowsing) eg Magnesium. BioResonance & Homeopathy supportive too. And emotional esp any childhood stuff, & difficulty with expressing oneself, affect Thyroid. Inna Segal books & others about emotional causes of physical symptoms 🎉❤
I’m trying the Carnivore diet, but not sure I’m eating the right amount and again the amount of fats. I’m feeling too much fat is giving me stomach aches. I have your book and taking a 2nd look at it.
I had issue with the amount of fat at first, too. I think that's pretty common. Give your body some time to adjust. Just go at your bodies pace. I'm only a couple months carnivore but I have no problem with all the fat, but I also don't add a lot of extra fat, either. Just butter to cook with and what's naturally in the meat and eggs.
It's a big indicator, but always start with diet first. You can also read this article on Carnivore + thyroid: www.nutritionwithjudy.com/the-carnivore-diet-and-low-thyroid
Judy which providers will do just the basic testing? Ive gonevthrough this now. Absolutely ridiculous how much money I have spent on testing that wasn't necessary. All we need is get out the moldy, or bacteria laden environment ,c4a, mmp9, adh, thfb1 ? Take fish oil, vid D, cholestyramine, then on to VIP Spray. Right now my doctor wants to test me for freaking sleep apnea before doing the GENIE!! Why??

All we need is get out the moldy, or bacteria laden environment ,c4a, mmp9, adh, thfb1 ? Take fish oil, vid D, cholestyramine, then on to VIP Spray.
Right now my doctor wants to test me for freaking sleep apnea before doing the GENIE!! Why??
