I have Hashimotos. Every time i eat something with higher iodine(salt,seafood, seaweed) my nodule gets big i can barely swallow. itctriggers a flareup. my doctors told me i absoluteky cannot have iodine, not even synthroid. i can only have levothyroxin without iodine. I tested with electrodermal testing and my iodine levels are suuper low. my question is what should i do?
It's impossible to have a dinner party these day and get 6-8 people around table like people used to. Everyone is fanatically and proudly avoiding something, be it oxalates, meat, diary, legumes, nightshade family, grains, starches, nuts, saturated fats, eggs and on it goes.
So true!!! Gone are the care free days when a get together was a time of sharing best recipes and not be so focused on one's new diet or lifestyle. It was a time to ENJOY the moment with friends, loved one's, not impose opinions or ideas. Next day everyone would get back on their personal diet, wagon and life would have a beautiful memory of friends being together enjoying recipes, dishes, laughter, enjoyment of life, instead of certain food restrictions. 😢😢😢 ❤❤❤❤
@@lisagayhart2482Good idea. Like a pot luck. Then if people want to try your dish they can, but if not you have a meal. It could make interesting conversation . Less stress for the host also ❤
My group of friends remains respectful of one another by acknowledging that we all have highly specialized dietary needs. We bring our own food to eat,and if we want to bring extra for others to partake of,we put the ingredients on a little index card. There are too many dangerous side effects in foods these days and especially if you’re getting up in years,can be fatal. What’s most important is gathering together,not complaining about food sensitivities.🥰
I'm the only "weirdo" amongst my friends! But I have always enjoyed cooking, and I wont lie, I cook them all the things I enjoyed, but make sure there is enough choice for me! They kindly look after me too. I think they are grateful to have me after a near death episode 😊
Some articles say blackberries and blueberries are very high in oxalates and some say they are very low! No wonder people are confused about what they should eat.
@loneranger7573 yes there is. It would nice to know which berries are actually high or low so I could balance it. If you ate in moderating lots different foods that are high, it wouldn't be good for you.
Beef, butter, eggs, salt, water, and heavy cream. A little cheese, fish and chicken for variety. But ruminant meat is the base because it’s the most nutrient dense food there is. It will heal the body. For those of us with oxalate toxicity this is a great video.
I was so sick with painful joints , brain fog, depression ,obesity, i went hard core carnivore and never felt better. I still have alot of healing to do.
I agree with you. My grand mother lived to her 99 without any help from doctors - she never saw one! She would have 3-5 cups of black tea: no sugar, milk, honey,etc at dinner. All her food came from her veggie plot. Rarely she had meat, when one of her neighbors would slaughter his cow. Dairy products came from her cow, prepared by her.
I’ve been taking turmeric for years and all of the arthritis pain in my hands is gone and when I forget to take it for a few days, it all comes back and starts to hurt. I cannot live without it, it has been a miracle for me. I will not stop taking turmeric, I would have to go on pain pills.
@@JH-nj8up maybe when you stop turmeric the oxalate crystals in your joints are being released, leading to the pain. Taking turmeric might bring your blood oxalate level up, preventing the crystals from being released from your joints. Just a possibility I seem to have experienced, like Sally Norton.
I've also been taking glucosamine with turmeric tablets twice per day, AM/PM. This has been the most helpful to deal with body aches. I also feel the negative difference right away if I don't take tablets for a couple of days. These are the ones I take.

I wish I would have heard of Sally 20 years ago. 20 years ago a friend of mine made me smothered pork chops covered in onions. I thought I was having a heart attack and went to the ER. I was told I had GERD and given proton prohibitors, which made me worse. It took me 20 years to realize the veggies and fruits are making me sick from salicylates. None of my doctors ever asked me what I was eating...It is still hard to believe these healthy foods were/are making me sick. It's so hard to unbrainwash what you've learned for so long.
@@keshavrao212Fruits were originally genetically designed to be only eaten by animals that they were intrinsically evolved with. A perfect example is the Cassawary. A bird found in N.E Australia that only eats the fruit of certain plants in that area. No other animal on the Planet can eat those fruit because it will kill them. Also Cassowaries cannot eat anything else besides these fruits. Likewise with the Fruits we eat. we have genetically altered them to not only become more palatable but to remove a lot (but not all) of the toxins within them.
Have all these experts asked the simple important question….what is the state of the top soil? What is the nutrient condition of the soil and water? We have destroyed soil with chemicals and now we blame the vegetables and fruits?
I went on a "healthy diet" after my husband passed away. I ate lots of spinach, beets, Swiss chard, took a collagen supplement for my joints, ate dark chocolate, almonds, walnuts drank tea, almond milk etc. I ended up in ICU with a kidney stone obstructing my left kidney, hydronephrosis and sepsis. I almost died. My urologist recommended a low oxalate diet. I'm on the mend and really watching what I eat. Oxalates are no joke, I wish I had been warned that superfoods can actually kill you!
People sometimes forget that with trying new foods/diets, you need to go slowly and in small quantities. You're cells need time to adjust to all those "good" foods... it's a form of exposure therapy but just with food. If you don't lack any nutriens and vitamins then you don't need to change your whole meals, sometimes you just need to add healthy snacks. A lot of people forget to do their yearly blood work and other tests that will help them know where those additions are needed. Some things are genetic, doesn't matter how hard you try.
That is good to know. Been carnivore since 4/14, and improvement felt, BUT I have been having these oxalate side effects. Gonna try lemon water and salt once a day. Thanks :)
I am from South America. I grew up eating really fresh vegetables and fruits because everyone lived close to farms. I am 41 years old and I have never heard in my entire life that spinach wasn't healthy. I have seen many people around me live well into their 80s or beyond while eating primarily fruits and vegetables. How is it possible that people from the past ate all of that without knowing it was bad and still lived such healthy lives for so long? I feel that when you are unaware that a food is bad for you, it actually isn't. I believe that being less informed about diets might actually be better. It seems like we can't eat hardly anything nowadays.
spinach in most cultures is consumed traditionally with animal fat. So butter, milk, meat etc. always next to that spinach. That mitigates the oxalate problem. Same for a lot of other beans and roots, there are traditional ways of preparing them to remove most of the toxins and consuming them with animal products helps a lot. That is why most people in the past were not seeing the same level of health problems. Nowadays if you buy beans or spinach in a can you can bet they are not prepared traditionally so the toxins are not removed / minimized. Also most people no longer consume these foods with animal products. that’s the difference to my understanding.
also, if you want to talk about fruits: until recently fruits were never considered food that can be consumed in any amount. they were seen as a treat, as a desert, usually eaten only after lunch. Only recently entirely replaceing a meal, like starting your day with a spinach/fruits smoothie - juice became common. Also observe when the “eat healthy” propaganda addresses this issue they never say it’s healthy to eat “vegetables and fruits”! they always say it’s healthy to consume “fruits and vegetables”! so fruits first, or more fruits than vegetables is healthy. It’s “quite healthy” to replace an entire meal with a fruit salad, right? our elders never ate like this. They ate only local fruits , only in season, and only as desert. never as a snack between meals or even replacing an entire meal. And to close: I am sure the growing numbers of children with diabetes under the age of 10 has nothing to do with healthy fruits, right? must be that bad fast food, not the healthy fruits!
One of my friends is 90, in near perfect health. His advice, moderation and variety! Edit: he has never drank alcohol, never smoked or been overweight, has a good family, lots of social interaction, lots of hobbies and interests, and walks as much as he can.
@@akula9713 Yes. Genetics mostly. Many, doing the same things would not make it to 90. Not saying he has a bad lifestyle but even otherwise healthy men die on average before 80. Asians live the longest. Cancers and Heart issues takes most.
Agreed. Every person's body (based largely on their genetics) is different to some degree, but I believe a balanced diet and exercise are the keys to good health. Following a strict vegan, keto, or carnivore diet has never appealed to me.
Since I can remember in Poland, where I grew up people knew about oxalate toxicity. And when sorrel was in season they would say not to eat too much, only a bit, because of the oxalates.
I believe the best advice I have ever been given, in regard to food and healthy eating, is this: Eat an enormous variety of unproccessed foods, quit sugar, and extremely limit carbohydrates.
Prior to Carnivore, I was eating DAILY: Spinach, Sunflower seeds, sunbutter, sweet potatoes, kiwi, chia seeds, hemp seeds, hemp milk, quinoa, almonds, pistachios, cacao, cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, and several cups of herbal tea per day. I had no idea that the majority of my diet was the highest oxalate foods!
I damaged my gut on this kind of diet so severely that I thought I was going to die. My doc couldn’t figure it out, my blood test was always excellent hehe. Once I found meat again (after 25 or so years) I healed quickly but for years couldn’t have any raw salads or raw veggies. But sauerkraut (rediscovered again) was amazing healer. thank you for the podcast, it’s always good to rediscover stuff ❤🎉
Same! I spent a fortune on organic veg and nuts, thinking I was doing the right thing. Listening to experts. When you're desperate, you'll do anything to feel better. And of course, you do feel better when you cut of sugar and ultra processed foods so you think it's working. You feel better, but not quite right. After moving to full keto, I learned about oxcilates on UA-cam videos and realised my entire diet was just oxcilates for about a year. The dumping was hard, even though I did it slowly, but worth it.
@@buzzardscry1383 Haha ALMOST! I literally spent months in and out of the hospitals trying to save my life! In prior generations, people didn't live off of this diet for very long! They either got sick on a plant based diet, or ate meat! Plants are just survival foods and occasionally for medicine. Not for everyday use and optimal health
I wish I could thumbs up multiple times. This time I looked at the posts, it reflects my clueless friends. If you don't want to change to gain health, Sally is a nut case. I agree it is a weird idea. I had this weird experience when I went on a keto diet because my husband needed to for diabetes and Parkinson's. Both legs knee to thigh started sweating acid. It took me a few months to find Sally. I was dumping oxalates and my immune system was attacking it. High dose prednisone, it turned into a sort of dry eczema. 8 months later I am trying to control the dumping. Oxalates explain my erratic health history and I am grateful to have found the problem late in life. It's a fantastic story that I was forced to listen to.
@@grahamrogers3345 I don't think starch can solve the high blood sugar problem that my husband has. Nor will it build muscle or increase bone density. God bless the lost souls that are eating starch to solve a health problem.
-Vegetables:Spinach, chard, beet root very high on oxalate - Potatoes (sweet potatoes included are high in oxalate. - Nuts (almonds, peanuts, cashews mostly) -Seeds (pumpkin low on oxalate, sunflower not bad, hemp and chia seeds are high on oxalate) -Beans (black, white high oxalate, but peas : chick peas, green peas, black Eyed peas, cow peas are low on oxalate, but it has to be soaked. -Fruits : fruits juice are low on oxalate. Star fruit, star fruit juice, blackberries, raspberries and kiwi are high on oxalate -Spices: tumeric and cumin -Tea (black tea is high on oxalate) - Chocolate very high in oxalate. - buckwheat, quinoa :high in oxalate - Vitamin C: can be transformed in oxalate -Tiamin deficiency : because vit b1 helps to remove the oxalate precursors - Collagen (high amount) can be a precursor of oxalate .
I wish there was a channel that told you all the foods that are 100% safe to eat. I've cut out so many foods gluten, meats, dairy, nuts for a long time. And all the foods I've been eating thinking they were good for me are now the entire list in this comment. They are filled with oxilates. 😢😢😢 what will I eat to keep living😮
@paulien7779 eat everything 👍 just keep it healthy 🙂 lots of fruit & vegetables, meat if your okay with it. A varied diet is a good one, with excercise. All the extreme advice is bondage to misery. Eat well and have a happy life 🥳
Over seven months carnivore. Ive lost 40 pounds, reversed fatty liver, diabetes and diverticulitis. Among a long list of wins .... I'm not winded anymore, no more bursitis, arthritis no more bleeding gums, my anxiety meds gone pepcid no more!!!! Carnivore saved my life!! I'm sixty years old too and feel better than I ever have. As a sugar addict I'm better off without any!
I've been almost 40 years vegetarian and at 64 I am extremely healthy, and I have a six-pack. What you didn't know among other things is that we are supposed to have gut bacteria that neutralizes the oxalates. Our modern lifestyle and the use of antibiotics affect our gut flora, so we lose the natural capacity to counteract the oxalates. Check out Oxalobacter formigenes.
@@marciabaxley1959 oh totally go for it! Take your time, watch many videos to get encouraged, it really helps especially in the beginning when everything feels new, weird, difficult and confusing. It's Soooooo so worth it. You'll feel better almost immediately but there are side effects too so if you ease into it, it'll be better. Honestly i went cold turkey and i don't regret it but it was SEVERE the first two months. Find a group where you can talk about things or ask under carnivore videos this community is usually surprisingly kind. Good luck, friend!
This is one of the most important health videos i have ever watched! Thank you Sally. I had a bilateral kidneystone clean out last year. The young Doctor said I had crystals in the kidney walls!!! He didn't understand, he was shocked. I didnt know how that would happen...now i do. I was Wole Food Plant Based for over a year...I'm completely poisoned by oxolates, its affecting my joints and eyes, pooping, etc. its horrible. Ive been on Carnivore for a week, and feeling so good, but slowed dumping symptoms with iced tea. Its going to be bad as I heal.
You are a wonderful interviewer!!! I’ve listened to Sally dozens of times. You focus each guest perfectly and steer them so well and don’t over talk. Your technique is superb. Thank you, it’s a gift. Experimented with some dark chocolate today and within an hour my thumb was throbbing. Learned that lesson…I am a dedicated ketovore. I have developed a taste for sour pickles and sauerkraut with cheese for dessert!
I did a sudden shift. Best decision of my life. Just eating meat, eggs, salt and drinking water. Actually I'm opening to avocado, coconut oil and lemon, both low carbs and low oxalates, avocado and coconut oil helps to prevent constipation and lemon turns in sodium bicarbonate in your intestines, which is a good idea.
Same here. Never going back to eating like that. 0 I feel so lied to and betrayed by the medical community because I followed their guidelines for years and all it did was make me sick, feel like garbage,and have depression. So many more medical problems but I'm doing the very best I can now with the knowledge that I've acquired the past year or so
Does not work. Fish and chicken do not have enough fat and are not satiating. Dairy products cause inflammation, no matter how much you eat something that says it is lactose-free, like 24-hour yogurt or aged cheese, there is still something there and causes inflammation in the digestive system. Butter gives prostate cancer. Pork has parasites and other diseases, it's no wonder that Jews haven't eaten it for thousands of years. To obtain fat to fry eggs and meat, you can place beef ribs in the pressure cooker and fry and then add water and leave under pressure, you will have meat and oil for later frying.
I’ve got oxalate poisoning, autoimmune problems all my life then started getting peripheral neuropathy jan 2023. Luckily sally’s book appeared in my Amazon recommended list, I shudder to think what would have happened to my physical and mental health without this info. Sally is definitely one of my favourite humans😂. Only thing left to do is try and dump this junk safely🤞. On a positive note though, the psoriasis I’ve had for over 15 years has gone, as well as the peripheral neuropathy. Thank you sally🙏.
@C.Tiffers is her book contain a list of food with a number by it ? How much oxalate in those foods? Trying to see if I need to buy it or everything already had been said. The only reason why I would buy if there's the list with numbers, so I can decide on a combination of which food I can eat today without overloading my body
People are SO LAZY and want to be spoonfed like babies. If they don't care enough about their health to watch an hour video,.they would ANYWAY not apply what is suggested
I absolutely think that gluten, oxalates, and nightshades cause much of our diseases. Although, we can't forget about refined flour and manufactured oil. All these things are slowly killing us.
So glad this information is getting out there. I stopped eating most vegetables fruits and seeds over a year ago and my quality of life has increased dramatically.
I’m suffering from psoriasis. Was eating chocolate my whole life. Very addicted to it. I’m day 69 on carnivore. I’m totally done with consuming chocolate and chocolate bars.
I wish Sally would have named correctly, what she referred to as "Netting". I believe she meant to say "Adhesions". I'm a Nutritional Therapist and am familiar with oxilates. However, this is the first time I've heard this NEW information and experience based on research. I'm SO VERY IMPRESSED! BUYING HER BOOK TODAY! Hopefully will be the answer to what I'm searching for! Utterly indebted to your help, Sally! Much thanks 🙏❤️👍
I read toxic, super foods, and it changed my life! I had no idea that I was eating many high oxalate foods. Thank you so much for educating people. It is life-changing
I had uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, T2 diabetes, severe acne, swollen feet & ankles, and other ailments. I started eating keto and these things went away. But I still have arthritis and joint pain, so I am now going carnivore to get rid of those.
@@lrg613 it probably didn’t work because you were under eating? You can eat more calories on a carnivore diet than a carb diet. Plus you need to eat a lot more fat than you think. And make sure you’re taking enough potassium, calcium, and magnesium citrate.
You are definitely a great interviewer! Love your episodes. Always love learning what Sally has learned. She has saved so many of us from having to go on damaging and costly arthritis medications. Thank you both.
I am ketoish and going lower oxylate food but did carnivore plus Ramadan timed intermittent fasting for about a month (so convenient because there are Ramadan calendar timetables online) and I think it’s a good elimination diet. I had major oral surgery so I had to then do soft foods for a couple of weeks which has included carbs. Now I’m transitioning slowly back towards a Mediterranean ketoish diet so the granularity of this video was very helpful with that. It’s interesting to know that peas are lower in oxylate content than beans. I appointment Sally’s nuanced approach and like this channel. This one is worth listening to more than once!
Oxalates never seem to bother me but went from.keto to Carnivore 10 months ago and never going back to plants or garbage food.. quit coffee 17 weeks ago today.
@@gypsyluv1118 Drinking it for over 50 years wanted to see what would happen. Sleeping better, teeth are cleaner, and I was using heavy cream which gave me heartburn and it gave me an opportunity to stop dairy. And I am on my way to the Lion lifestyle by my one year Carnivore anniversary.
@@grantharding8868 The news is that decaffeinated coffee is much worse for you because of the toxic process to decaffeinate it. Google first. You might not want to drink that...supposedly it's far worse
I had 58 years of a VERY highly plant based diet. Decades of gut issues and trying to manage my health. Two years on carnivore now, and it’s been a wild ride with the oxalate dumping! I jumped straight in initially, but have had to use some plant foods to help manage the dumping. I had bad diarrhoea for over a year with sand and acid. Now I get muscle pain and joint pain, but things are definitely improving. When I look back my story is similar to Sally’s, beginning with the tonsillectomy aged 5 and back issues at 14. Things continue to improve though and I’m pretty sure I’m carnivore for life.
The tonsillectomy could also have been from pasteurized milk. When I was young, we used to get raw milk from a nearby farm. When the farm was sold, he had to buy pasteurized milk from the store. That's when I started getting colds and my tonsils got huge. I had to get mine removed. We didn't realize back then. But, just like she said in the video, as you look back you can see when things started to happen...
Have started making raw milk kefir when I found a source of raw milk near me. It’s been a game changer. And my milk farmer is the strongest gal I’ve ever met! 🤔
@@barb987 I'd like to drink raw but its banned in Canada and therefore impossible to get save for those small family owned dairy farms out in the sticks where there is no law enforcement
@@RuggedCross1 I have to drive out in the sticks to a gal who has some cows. Very small farm. Feel lucky to have found her. A friend who has beef cattle knew of her. Good luck. I try not to run out of it.
Completely cured my chronic headaches (5 years headache free now) hemorrhoids and joint pain by removing 99% of animal products from my diet. Everyone is different. Be brave to try different types of food combos out and see how the body feels. For me it's raw fruit and veg, some cooked veg, some cookies and cinnamon buns and bread that keeps me fit and energized for long distance running and triathlons and such, and not feeling like I'm missing out on the treats.
I had plantar fasciitis for months then I started watching her videos. I stopped the high outlasted and it soon (2-3wks) started subsiding. It was great. I’m a believer of her truth.
Had the same problem last year. I thought my plantar fasciitis was gonna be with me for the rest of my life. 9 months of frequent pain. The first step in the morning was a killer. Then I tried carnivore and bang… all gone!
No doctor around here could have given me any help. I’m glad you were relieved as well. Horrible pain I wanted to fall on the floor and cry and not go to work. So glad that’s gone.
I’m very disappointed hearing this. If we eat garbage food, it’s bad for us, and now it seems that many of our healthy foods are also not good for us. What’s left, just meat?
It sickening watching this. She’s left nothing for eat or drink. No ginger teas, no teas period. What’s left just water, no coffee? One podcast encourages coffee, dark chocolate, and fish to increase brain function and help prevent dementia. Now all that is left from this video is water nothing else to sustain our bodies.
I think she’s gearing this to ppl who are sensitive to oxalates and I do believe it’s common. I also don’t think I’m one of them but I have never overloaded on trendy super foods either and I’m over 50, vegetarian, zero health problems, tons of energy.
There are still tons of things to eat, maybe just not food that we're used to. Check out the market some time, and you might find a new thing or two or three to try. What's the harm in that?
I went strict carnivore in February 2023. Started shedding pounds and felt terrific. About a month into it, I started oxalate dumping via a white crystals coming out of my skin (arms and legs) and oxalate crystals coming out of my eyes. My eyes were red and inflamed and painful. I went heavy on sweet potatoes and spinach when I did Whole 30 several years ago. During my oxalate dumping last year, I learned about oxalates from Sally’s videos and added a cup of tea every other day. The symptoms cleared and I feel great. I got Sally’s book and I appreciate her knowledge on the topic! Great podcast!
@@bl0ss0mshum4n you can go on Sally Norton‘s website, and she provides a list of foods high in oxalates and alternatives that you can eat. The high oxalate foods that I was consuming too much of were sweet potatoes, spinach, dark chocolate, and drank tea all the time.
Thank you Sally, you helped me so much in 2020 when I discovered you! I gave up 99% of high oxalate foods and my daily stomach pain disappeared. I was sold! I too need some carbs...I've tried carnivore and for ME, I need some "clean" whole food carbs. Blessings to you both.
@@silvamaney8897 Soaked organic potatoes, squash, a little fruit and infrequently white sweet potato. Try not not to be so dogmatic about it and I make sure I cook them all with lots of fat and store them in the fridge after cooking for many hours. What works for Sally also doesn't work for me with some foods.
Just my opinion: Although some might not be able to eat food with oxalate or just choose not to. Those who do, make sure to lower consumption. Here are some tips: - cook, simmer, steam or boil food, heavy with oxalate, before eating (throw the cooking water away) . - The calcium in yoghurt, kefir, cream cheese and co. will help bind the oxalate before finally digesting. You can also use millet or tahin (anything with calcium). - You can additionally peel if possible as the most oxalate is often under the skin of the food. We have oxalobacter in our gut to help eliminate this. But 3-5% will be left to be absorbed by our kidneys, so do not over do it with the oxalate. Overdoing it can cause kidney-stones, as mentioned.
Spinach with cheese, hot chocolate made with milk, Berries with yogurt, peanut butter sandwich with milk. I learned this after i had kidney stones. Food combining matters.
I am very discouraged because i was pretty plant based and now i went into carnivore for 12 days i experienced stroke pike symptoms such as numbness, tingling, heavy limbs on one side. Had a huge panic attack (never happwned before). Went to the ER twice and they found nothing wrong with me. I am already taking electrolyte drinks but the symptoms had not went away and im getting a mri done next week. We need more people to talk about how to switch to meat based diet properly if oxalate poisoning is like what you've said, dangerous and serious.
absolutely! Lack of magnesium is the one. I take two kinds of magnesium. Magnesium glycinate for over all health and magnesium citrate to help with the potty visits.
Don't you need carbs to rebuild your glycogen reserves ? As a bodybuilder, I tried keto, but I felt very bad in less than a week. It seems that carb cycling works very well in my case (3-4 meals low on carbs or even zero-carb, followed by a carb reload). I guess we have to experiment, since a diet can be good or bad depending on your gut health, your physical activities, your stress, and so on.
@@matthieusavary983 you don't need to ingest carbs for glycogen stores if you eat enough protein and fat. When you deplete glycogen, you use stored fat for energy as ketones, and any protein that isn't needed for muscle and other tissue repair, is converted to glucose by gluconeogenesis, excess is stored as glycogen, and overeating protein is bad because what cannot be stored as glycogen is converted and stored as fat. But if you're keto, and not eating carbs, you'll access some of that fat if you stop eating too much fat and protein.😅
Sally saved my life seriously! I ruined my health and my dogs health having a sweet potato every day. I also ate spinach every day. I was trying to be healthy. I was a skinny malnourished adult. Thank goodness I never did the smoothie craze or most likely would have never made it out alive. My dog didn’t make it.
Happy you recovered! So sorry to hear about your dog. What did he or she end up suffering from that took her life? Were you feeding kibble and/or raw with the sweet potato?
@@vally711 sorry just seen your message. She was getting organic sweet potatoes every day. She was urinating all the time just like me. After a very long time with a ton of medications/guesses from the vet I finally asked for her to go to a specialist. She had cancer of the bladder. She died shortly after. She was also on prescribed science diet kibble. Both my dogs were. Both stayed sick.
@@eraera2022 I eventually moved to full carnivore. Going on 4 years. I slowly transitioned. I mainly did this because I didn’t like calculating how many oxalate was in my diet. I like things as simple as possible. I also mentally/physically have never felt better. I’m almost 60 so there was many years of suffering from my vegan diet, over 20 years.
Can SO relate to the severe and debilitating damage that oxalates cause. I dont have many options for carbs either. Raw milk works beautifully for me. And it helps with the dumping symptoms. I am 7 years in. What a journey.
Wow!!! I used to eat a huge spinach eater. So crazy that when I did an elimination diet and tried to incorporate spinach again it immediately out me back into an RA flare! Now it makes so much sense! Rina and Sally thank you for this vital info! ❤
Omg, I eat a lot of the things that i shouldn't be having including chia and almonds and i used to have a lot of rhubarb as a child, my grandmother was a great cook - hardly surprising I have a lot of pain these days. 🙄
Not just tbe oxalic acid but nuts and seeds are also high in phytic acid and very high omega 6. Not to mention these massive crops are extremely harsh on the environment.
This oxalate dumping sounds like what i went through in Oct 2023 for 3wks, i was in a real bad way, bad bad panic attacks, bad heart palpitations, mental health shot to pieces. Lost 30lbs in 2wks. Sort of fixed itself in the end, never found out what it was or what stopped it, but im glad its gone that's for sure.
@@tanyaburford8699 Not from memory no. Just real restless, crying at any bad thought or feeling which there was a lot when your that far in the unwell arena. couldn't eat right, couldn't handle coffee, couldn't sleep properly. Had an overnight heart monitor on and it showed 350+ "things/events", i don't recall what they called them in 22hrs. but that was the worse day by far and only the 1-2 day the heart palps were bad bad, most other days is was every so often.
I'm miffed because all the bug guns in the Carnivore field never mentioned anything about oxalate dumping. So a year in on carnivore I suffer two weeks of diarrhoea, stomach cramps, no sleep and rashes and eye crystals. Wish Berry Baker Chaffee would have git together with Sally for a schooling. Sally's book is great and shows how to add damage limitation for severe oxalate dumping ❤
I went through the same thing especially with my eyes. Was very severe to the point that my eyeball lens filled with fluid and literally popped out of eye and was hanging down. 😱 scary.
@@StefanHallTribeOfRhinosyeah all of this, even whether you hear about keto and carnivore, is all determined by what these internet algorithms show you, and every one has a different personalized journey in what we search and what we find...
I've recently been watching a plethora of health videos, particularly nutrition. I also studied health in university. And the best advice 20 years ago still holds, I would say. Avoid as much processed foods as you can, eat a variety of foods and aim for nutrient dense foods, balance between cooked and raw foods, and balance between the food groups: vegetables and fruits, proteins, and whole grains. Drink water. There are no superfoods. If you truly eat a variety of foods, then you will probably eat a balanced, and therefore "healthy" diet.
MS NORTON DOES NOT AT ALL LOOK ANYWHERE NEAR 60 YEARS OF AGE! THANK YOU FOR SUCH AN INFROMATIVE AND SIGNIFICANT INTERVIEW.I TOTALLY AGREE WITH Akula971 THAT EVERYTHING IN MODERATION IS THE ONLY WAY. AND AS I HAD READ OVER 40 YEARS AGO IN 'SELF' MAGAZINE, EVERY 10 YEARS WE OUGHT TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF FOOD INTAKE.
My grandmother lived to 105 in her own home . She ate everything, took milk of magnesia every night. She had family always around her. And she was religious and a calm person. That’s it!
I could not believe it when a doctor told me I have kidney stones, gallstones, cyst in my kidney, and fatty liver with my healthy strict nutritional diet and I don't eat meat
You don't eat meat, so your liver is sluggish in making bile, even though if you never ate any cholesterol, your liver makes more than you could possibly consume. Bile is liquid cholesterol with insanely strong acid. When it is stored in the gallbladder but rarely used, it thickens into balls of a jelly consistency. With the name like gallstones, you'd think they'd be hard like rocks, but they are more like boba. lf they get too hard or large, they can either get stuck in the neck opening of the bladder or block the opening altogether. And when the sac squeezes to no avail, it squeezes harder & more in a panic, which is referred to as a gallbladder attack. So when eating no meat, no fats, & with no bile, fat soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, & K go unabsorbed. Even the absorption of B vitamins & vitamin C are affected. Again, when the production of bile is sluggish & the subsequent replacement of wornout cholesterol with replacement of fresh everything gets stalled, so there are cascades of effects throughout the various systems of the body. Your brain is essentially water & cholesterol, hence the joke fat head. The membrane of every cell in the body has cholesterol as a component, so without it, we would all be a blob jello on the ground. Medium chain triglycerides (MCT) are good for the heart, & what do these bond to? You guessed it, cholesterol. Fat & cholesterol are not the demons that Ancel Keyes, Sigmond Freud's kin, made them out to be by purposely cherrypicking data from around the world. Maybe no meat is working very well for you, just as no fruits or veggies work for others. But remember if the gallbladder is not periodically dispensing some bile, it is stagnating & your rates of absorption of certain minerals may also be affected. Squeezing bile from its storage sac is normal organ function & removal of the gallbladder mean the liver would be constantly trickling bile into the small intestine, but not at a strength to function as intended. That's why those who have had their gallbladders removed are warned not to eat meat, fat, etc, though they can easily take an oxbile supplementation prior or during each meal to mimic the lost activity. And keep in mind cholesterol that is in the bile that still reuseable after digestion is actually reabsorbed & sent back to the liver. So cholesterol is not only a cycle, but a constant recycling system. The more that is used, the more that replaced. I hope this info made a difference for your understanding of the liver, bile, gallbladder, gallstones, digestion, reabsorption, & return cycle, even if it doesn't change anything physical in your world. Knowledge is power & the more we understand. The better decisions we can make with our lives & bodies.
Now I understand why every time I eat almond, and leafy greens I feel sick . Fallowing the ketogenic diet , no wonder I plateau with loosing weight . I wish I knew it before
I was on the same boat. I couldn't understand why Ketogenic diet, after a short initial burst, suddenly stalled! And in fact I was slowly getting worse! Greens, almonds and other nuts. Almond milk, almond flour... and a vast etc. At the time, there was a gut feeling telling me that all that processed "crap". Somehow didn't make sense. For what it's worth I had my own garden lettuce, carrots, kale, cabbage, etc. All "healthy", all organic no pesticides, and so on... I really taught I was doing the right thing. Obviously the body was screaming for help. Screaming for me to stop poisoning myself... I simply didn't understood. Carnivore literally saved my life. I call it a MIRACLE! Yes, with capital letter. ;-)
@@carlosipec2270 you need to fly over to India and teach the hundreds of millions of vegetarians a thing or two. Think what you could do for Big Meat too!
My big dump happened 21/2 years being strict carno. Last year my skin on my arms went crazy with tiny white crystals coming through. The pain was awful. Its been almost a year with it returning four times now. Thankfully each new round is milder than the last. When I started carno I didnt know about slowly reducing high ox foods. Before carno it was 2-3 spinach smoothies a day, almost daily sweet potatoes, high vit C because of dental issues. Perfect candidate for hell later on. Currently I drink green tea in the morning and squeeze a lemon everyday. Slowly but surely I’m recovering.
@@arisemylove it does but Sally recommended it if oxalate dumping gets a little intense…which it did for me. The idea is to take in some oxalate to tamper the dump. I also take a tablespoon of sweet potatoes also. Unfortunately I went cold turkey when I went carno. Shouldnt have done that but I didnt know better at the time.
@pixelkat1819 Same thing for me. Doctor Sally Norton does say that every person is unique, and so everybody must pay attention to their symptoms and adjust accordingly. This is not a game. The best advice given in this video is that people must do the diet change at a very slow pace. Because of the severe reactions from oxalate dumping it is sensible to say that that people must pay attention to their reactions to foods. Carnivore diet seems to be the way to go.
You have to do your due diligence. Don't try to do the easy way out. What Dr. Sally eats is particular to her condition and her history of eating and the level of toxicity her body has stored. Each of us is unique, and as such we have to adapt in unique ways. Start paying attention to your body for clues. Start slowly because this is not a game and you can really mess yourself up if you don't do it properly.
In generally, for me, and many the answer is pretty simple. Keto. So low carb and healthy fats like wild fish, steak, light on chicken, sea food and low starch Veg., Garlic, Onion (raw only for both), etc. Make a list. Google Lectins, Oxalates and limit the big offenders. Drink water. Check your glucose at home. Start running. If you this, you will be way ahead of the pack. Don't drink or smoke.
People tend to go overboard on opinions. They eat a lot of what is considered good n not those considered bad. My sister died because she hardly eat salt due to the idea that eating salt is bad for one's health.
Refined salt is no good for sure. Salt is very important, that’s why salt that I buy is always expensive, non refined and good quality. Sorry to hear about your sister 💔
Sorry to hear of your loss. My mother believed the same and so did I. Lots of Arythmia and heart problems until I moved to my wife's country were electrolytes are cheap and essential day to day due to the heat.
Im having all them problems. Im diabetic i have arthritis i had frozen shoulder, both shoulders gout and i eat healthy and always have but have always been overweight from 6 years old. Thank you for this video, it's a real eye opener. God bless you 🙏.
25:15 yep, it's great, because it's all the plants I'm growing this year. Can't eat dairy & many other recommended foods. More things I have to worry about. Even carrots are on the list on some websites but I feel better after having them in my vege juice. Japanese eat sweet potatoes all the time & don't have all these issues.
Look on line for charts showing whether foods are high/medium/low in oxalates. Trade spinach salad for iceberg or Romain. If you have to have nuts eat macadamia or pistachio. Lima or butter beans or black eyed peas are on the low end of beans. Broccoli and zucchini are on the low end. Black pepper, chia, sesame are high(especially sesame/tahini).
This whole discussion is bogus. Go back in evolutionary time and none of the natural foods that humans ate in their varying habitats caused disease. Also, people need to urinate at night because they drank too much. You don't need some overcooked, complex, and verbose explanation from another academic intellectualising LITERALLY EVERYTHING. Do yourselves a favour and read The Story of the Human Body by Daniel Lieberman. Evolutionary mismatch type diseases.
Today, our foods are so toxic with chemicals. So I decided to eat everything in moderation and keep good hydration. No junk foods,sweets, and commercial drinks. Keep myself active and mobile. I have my own little vegies and fruits garden too. I do not believe in super foods😂😅. I am an active74 years old & told my husband that I'll live to 100 like my parents & grand parents did. People always complement me that I look young and agile for my age.
Dr Gregor would destroy her science. I watched this because a friend asked me to. Honestly, I have never seen anyone state this much mis/dis-information in one hour as this woman to give people false hope. She stated she's 60 in this interview and has been sick most of her life. I'm 60+ and I've always been plant based, and high raw. I eat 3K to 5K+ plant based calories every day (everything she says not to eat I eat quantities of). I do not eat meat. Plus I have plenty of friends who have been vegan for 50± year's with no issues. I hike 40+ miles a week and rarely sick. All I can say is educate yourself, and listen to your body.
Well I didn’t see this early enough….I’m 35 days into strict carnivore and boom Oxalate dumping like a mother🤦♀️ how long does this go on for…ps not giving up carnivore…I’m winning this battle😄
I'm 35 days in too but I do coffee with tsp cream 3x per day. I'm 74, been ill with Fibro Chronic Fatigue for 4 decades. Been on Keto for 4 yrs and two weeks before carnivore I ate only boiled chicken and sauteed cabbage so no dumping that I can notice. I still don't see appreciable difference in pain/fatigue but also am not worse. I'm committed to 90 days and then I may add some foods back in but prob not many. Best, p
I'm 2 months in carnivore and the first month was the worst for me. I had no idea that vitamin c was horrible for us! Ugh. I hate the fact that she said you could be sooooo far down the road of carnivore (her example was 6yrs) and then your body dumps oxalate. This is scary to me as I ate all of these bad foods for years! And prided myself on growing all those veggies too! Yikes!
I would suggest if you continue to consume some veggies or fruits eat it separately from animal based foods. After animal based foods consumption don’t eat other food group at least 2-3 hrs. Because of anti nutrition properties of that food group it will interfere with proper digestion of animal based foods. 25-30 years ago Dr. Chopra wisely recommended this and a lot of people had enormous benefits to follow it. Good luck everyone ☺️❤️
Great one!!! I have never been able to eat a lot of the "healthy" foods like chia seeds... i tried hard but no... im so grateful for the return of the real human diet... carnivore
I recently overloaded on oxalate foods, spinach, almond butter, chocolate, etc., and I broke out with symmetrically located itchy pimples all over my body, which indicated that my body was casting off toxins. I suspected oxalates and did some research finding a JAMA article that said the body rids itself of oxalates through the kidneys and skin with breakouts. Now, when i have too many oxalates, I'll get one of those pimples or two. This might be why i have a thyroid nodule, which doctors will tell us have no cause that they know of. I wonder if eye floaters are the result of oxalates. Thank you, for your work on oxalates.
Wow, I used to drink all day long thee with sugar. A day I couldn’t staying on my legs, couldn’t open a bottle of water. I thought I was dying. Now I understand why I developed few autoimmune diseases. I was a very small meat eater and a lot of vegetables. Later for a period of 12 years i became 100% vegan. Make green juice with celery as base, eat a lot of broccoli, green beans, salade, avocado I can’t imagine eating meat only. I’m French spoken person and hope your book will be translated. Thanks
I find that it’s important to evaluate information even science based and examine how it affects me as an individual. Customized medicine is much needed because not all clinical studies apply to everyone.
Everyone is different. There are body types which breakdown into peoples temperaments and how they react mentally, emotionally and therefore physically. So whereas some benefit from the carnivore diet, others don’t. Humanity is finally starting to recognize that nutrition and sickness is about the individual and how they have handle life. 🕊🙏
Great interview. Thank you for posting it. The hardest thing is breaking the mental conditioning. Everyone I grew up around believed veggies were good for you and fat and red meat were terrible. It took 10 years of a "green" diet for me to get sick enough to admit, something wasn't adding up. It's been years now since I changed my diet and I'm still suffering from the past damage of spinach smoothies, bags of trail mix and a chocolate addiction.
46 minute she talks about how she was getting leg cramps and weight gain. Wish she would have tried adding minerals and more fat intake before she added carbs to see if that would have worked for her. Amazing insights into oxalates. Grateful for her respect for individual differences.
Which minerals- just Mag? I need to gain weight on Keto- any suggestions? I feel good though. I am old and can run 12 mph. Just too skinny- BMI of 20. I do lift but not too heavy.
Within a couple of weeks of going low oxalates, my eyes look so clear, I had horrible dumping, no kidney stones, but tons of irritation in the vaginal area.
It is so individual for each person. I had insane oxalate issues and at one point had them coming out my nose and the rims of my eyes. And felt like I was being stabbed by a billion needles in my legs and my butt when I would walk That went on for years until I went carnivore. I drank a TON of milk tho to prevent serious dumping. I would sometimes have to drink a half gallon a day since lemons were out for me. Good luck on your healing journey.
What a great talk! Thank you both! Fortunately I’ve never been a fan of kale, sweet potatoes, tea. Much of my diet is in fact beef and dairy. Perhaps too much sugar. Or carbs. Just dumped a tub of buckwheat yesterday for being to old. Some quinoa will be gone too. But some cream cheese chocolate fudge is setting up in the fridge right now. Yes I know. Chocolate. Gotta have some oxalates though, yeah.
What ever happened to a good balance? I haven't eaten meat in years due to food poisoning...probably wasn't the meat but I made a change 23 yrs ago. I am now vegan and haven't had any issues. I change up my menu weekly. I find this all so fascinating how our bodies react differently from one another. Stay healthy everyone!
If what you state is true , then you are one in a million benefitting from a vegan diet. Get back to us in another ten years or so and let's see where your health is then.
I loved this video. Love Sally Norton's book. I purchased it and at first I just didn't get it and set it on a shelf. But I continued to research. Now I'm using her book daily. This video helped even more. I get it now and I'm already working to reduce my oxylate overload without going overboard and hurting myself. A little tea (no sugar just monk fruit) is what I'm consuming to help avoid the 'dumping'. Thank you both so much. You're rock stars in my book! 😀👍
I’m surprised Sally didn’t mention just taking magnesium citrate and calcium citrate which will bind to the oxalic acid and help with the oxalate dumping symptoms greatly. Black tea is just adding more oxalates. As somebody who has a very toxic overload that I do, having black tea would only make things worse. Adding oxalates isn’t the answer.
@@belle42 Hey Belle, I didn't notice that. Although I'm sure I heard that already from some source or the other. I just now checked her book and she does encourage calcium but doesn't seem to mention magnesium. I purchased both calcium citrate and magnesium citrate. I'm just now starting this protocol and I'll admit I'm not finding it easy but I am determined!
@@charleeghee7195Consuming supplements can create imbalance in the body. When you take a supplement the body will down regulate its own production of that substance in the supplement. And vice versa. Taking supplements, which are mostly produced by the pharmaceutical industry by the way, can really mess you up, so be very careful.
@@ottokroupa7379 Uh huh, are you forgetting that the food in groceries stores are almost completely void of the nutrients our bodies need? I do my research both on what I believe I need to improve my health and that includes the companies selling them. So, please do tell me what your field of expertise is that you feel it's a good thing to try to advise a total stranger?
I’m one of the folks who did not get away with going cold turkey and straight into a carnivore diet. 30 days in, I was in the ER with bad kidney pain. Gotta ease your way into carnivore over even up to 8 months in some cases. Trying again working my way back to it slowly
Is there a test to check if you have oxalates poisoning?? Because the symptoms you describe can be anything…and self diagnose can be difficult…tiredness, joint pain, sleep problems….
Fruits and vegetables are not the enemy. But too much of a good thing is bad for you. Go get a check up and talk to your doctor. For those of us who are healthy, eating a balanced diet and exercise is the way to go.
Great till min 47,after that what Sally says is just not true,unless you undereat. If you eat fatty red meat and butter you do not slow your metabolism, you just have to eat enough. Carbs are not essential and they do not increase your athletic performance. I am an athlete myself and I can confirm that. Dr. Chaffee explains it perfectly.
Wait. This is mainly talking about raw veggies. (Note, our ancestors cooked everything. Let that sink in) Also, what about the effect of cooking and dehydrating to foods that contain oxilates? I understood from my research through the years, that the oxalates are destroyed through cooking and dehydration. What have you found out about that? For anybody who read the book, did she touch on that in the book?
@@lr1732 I agree. Raw or even cooked doesn't help. Which is why I have started to ferment or pickle if I have veggies. I hope you find the solution that works for you for a thriving life.
I never really understood priming- seems Bella’s channel is the only one who does it. So, my understanding is eat three carnivore meals a day for two weeks and lots of butter when you first start out and it’ll feel like a ton of food but it’s healing you 🤷🏻♀️🧐🤔
@yukonsusie kind of... it's basically you're feeding yourself what you're body is asking for probably for the first time in your life until you're body says enough.. then you move to a new aurophagy phase .. it's amazing.. and you so not eat or physically crave or need carbs if you do it... it's really amazing
Loved the video. One thing I would say is muscle cramps or spasms are mostly caused by a lack of magnesium. Look up what this essential mineral does, its muscle relaxant for one thing. Especially if you're exercising and have a good love life, you will be low on magnesium and potassium and zink. Which will make you feel low and lack of energy. . Q10 and adding foods steamed high in zink fish shell fish etc and Amino acids will really help. Really worth remembering. 😊
Wow. I have been recently reading about oxalate in spinach, and vitamin C. Sally's story is amazingly like my story, right down to the foot. This is the most helpful video I've ever heard on YT. I just ordered Sally's book and I'm going to stop the 1000 mg of Vitamin C. Thank you!
Now excreting 63 years of oxalate accumulation. It’s pure misery but at least I have information on how to manage symptoms naturally. This will never be acknowledged by allopathic medicine because they get to sell drugs to treat all the different body systems affected. I have some younger friends and I have tried to inform them but no one takes it seriously because they don’t have symptoms yet. This is going to be another epidemic of chronically I’ll people in the coming decades IMO.
Yep. Nobody but my brother has even cut carbs a little since I’ve miraculously healed right in front of everyone and dropped 30 pounds i didn’t even know I had to lose. They say I’m too thin but I say I feel and look great!
I'm there with you. At 68, still working on the 2+cm kidney stone (now fragmented into two 1cm stones, and may have to be manually removed because passing fragments causing issues). Parathyroid removal, "watching" thyroid which is cystic, but functioning okay. Tooth removal. Excruding oxalates right through tissues and out skin and scalp. 😢

It's impossible to have a dinner party these day and get 6-8 people around table like people used to. Everyone is fanatically and proudly avoiding something, be it oxalates, meat, diary, legumes, nightshade family, grains, starches, nuts, saturated fats, eggs and on it goes.
So true!!! Gone are the care free days when a get together was a time of sharing best recipes and not be so focused on one's new diet or lifestyle. It was a time to ENJOY the moment with friends, loved one's, not impose opinions or ideas.

Have them bring a dish they can eat
@@lisagayhart2482Good idea. Like a pot luck. Then if people want to try your dish they can, but if not you have a meal. It could make interesting conversation . Less stress for the host also ❤
My group of friends remains respectful of one another by acknowledging that we all have highly specialized dietary needs. We bring our own food to eat,and if we want to bring extra for others to partake of,we put the ingredients on a little index card. There are too many dangerous side effects in foods these days and especially if you’re getting up in years,can be fatal. What’s most important is gathering together,not complaining about food sensitivities.🥰
I'm the only "weirdo" amongst my friends! But I have always enjoyed cooking, and I wont lie, I cook them all the things I enjoyed, but make sure there is enough choice for me! They kindly look after me too. I think they are grateful to have me after a near death episode 😊
Some articles say blackberries and blueberries are very high in oxalates and some say they are very low! No wonder people are confused about what they should eat.
No confusion - eat what you like, in moderation!
@loneranger7573 yes there is. It would nice to know which berries are actually high or low so I could balance it. If you ate in moderating lots different foods that are high, it wouldn't be good for you.
A handfull of such berries does not kill you - even if there is some oxalate.
@ErdbeereRot no, but if you eat a lot of foods with oxalates in it would be nice to know which ones are high so you are not over doing it.
I don't think blueberry is on the list just black berries
Instead of frightening us with what foods are so terrible, how about a list of foods that keep us healthy.
Beef, butter, eggs, salt, water, and heavy cream. A little cheese, fish and chicken for variety. But ruminant meat is the base because it’s the most nutrient dense food there is. It will heal the body.
For those of us with oxalate toxicity this is a great video.

My great grandmother lived to 94 and had at least 6 cups of tea every day.
That's wonderful for your grandma, but many people drink 6 cups of tea every day and die young or prematurely.
I agree with you. My grand mother lived to her 99 without any help from doctors - she never saw one! She would have 3-5 cups of black tea: no sugar, milk, honey,etc at dinner. All her food came from her veggie plot. Rarely she had meat, when one of her neighbors would slaughter his cow. Dairy products came from her cow, prepared by her.

I’ve been taking turmeric for years and all of the arthritis pain in my hands is gone and when I forget to take it for a few days, it all comes back and starts to hurt. I cannot live without it, it has been a miracle for me. I will not stop taking turmeric, I would have to go on pain pills.
How do you take it?
@@JH-nj8up maybe when you stop turmeric the oxalate crystals in your joints are being released, leading to the pain.
Taking turmeric might bring your blood oxalate level up, preventing the crystals from being released from your joints.
Just a possibility I seem to have experienced, like Sally Norton.

We have been having turmeric for our whole life as we are Asian and we put turmeric in almost everything so don’t think this works
I've also been taking glucosamine with turmeric tablets twice per day, AM/PM. This has been the most helpful to deal with body aches. I also feel the negative difference right away if I don't take tablets for a couple of days. These are the ones I take.

I wish I would have heard of Sally 20 years ago. 20 years ago a friend of mine made me smothered pork chops covered in onions. I thought I was having a heart attack and went to the ER. I was told I had GERD and given proton prohibitors, which made me worse. It took me 20 years to realize the veggies and fruits are making me sick from salicylates. None of my doctors ever asked me what I was eating...It is still hard to believe these healthy foods were/are making me sick. It's so hard to unbrainwash what you've learned for so long.
Fruits are alright
Tell me about it !
@@keshavrao212 Some are not so alright!!
I have salicylates intolerance so most fruits and veggies make me ill...
@@keshavrao212Fruits were originally genetically designed to be only eaten by animals that they were intrinsically evolved with. A perfect example is the Cassawary. A bird found in N.E Australia that only eats the fruit of certain plants in that area. No other animal on the Planet can eat those fruit because it will kill them. Also Cassowaries cannot eat anything else besides these fruits. Likewise with the Fruits we eat. we have genetically altered them to not only become more palatable but to remove a lot (but not all) of the toxins within them.
Have all these experts asked the simple important question….what is the state of the top soil? What is the nutrient condition of the soil and water? We have destroyed soil with chemicals and now we blame the vegetables and fruits?
I went on a "healthy diet" after my husband passed away. I ate lots of spinach, beets, Swiss chard, took a collagen supplement for my joints, ate dark chocolate, almonds, walnuts drank tea, almond milk etc. I ended up in ICU with a kidney stone obstructing my left kidney, hydronephrosis and sepsis. I almost died. My urologist recommended a low oxalate diet. I'm on the mend and really watching what I eat. Oxalates are no joke, I wish I had been warned that superfoods can actually kill you!

People sometimes forget that with trying new foods/diets, you need to go slowly and in small quantities. You're cells need time to adjust to all those "good" foods... it's a form of exposure therapy but just with food. If you don't lack any nutriens and vitamins then you don't need to change your whole meals, sometimes you just need to add healthy snacks. A lot of people forget to do their yearly blood work and other tests that will help them know where those additions are needed. Some things are genetic, doesn't matter how hard you try.
The citric acid in lemon juice helps to soften oxalate crystals into a chalk that is easier to flush.
I drink a bottle of water with organic lemon juice and Celtic sea salt every morning first thing
That is good to know. Been carnivore since 4/14, and improvement felt, BUT I have been having these oxalate side effects. Gonna try lemon water and salt once a day. Thanks :)

I am from South America. I grew up eating really fresh vegetables and fruits because everyone lived close to farms. I am 41 years old and I have never heard in my entire life that spinach wasn't healthy. I have seen many people around me live well into their 80s or beyond while eating primarily fruits and vegetables. How is it possible that people from the past ate all of that without knowing it was bad and still lived such healthy lives for so long? I feel that when you are unaware that a food is bad for you, it actually isn't. I believe that being less informed about diets might actually be better. It seems like we can't eat hardly anything nowadays.
i think the problem starts when people start overdosing on ''superfoods'' and actually do more damage than good.
I think she's talking about America, the nation that makes 90 % of the food tainted
@@zensleep2321 80 isn't really that long of a life. Alot of literature to support.humans should live to 120
spinach in most cultures is consumed traditionally with animal fat. So butter, milk, meat etc. always next to that spinach. That mitigates the oxalate problem. Same for a lot of other beans and roots, there are traditional ways of preparing them to remove most of the toxins and consuming them with animal products helps a lot. That is why most people in the past were not seeing the same level of health problems. Nowadays if you buy beans or spinach in a can you can bet they are not prepared traditionally so the toxins are not removed / minimized. Also most people no longer consume these foods with animal products. that’s the difference to my understanding.
also, if you want to talk about fruits: until recently fruits were never considered food that can be consumed in any amount. they were seen as a treat, as a desert, usually eaten only after lunch. Only recently entirely replaceing a meal, like starting your day with a spinach/fruits smoothie - juice became common. Also observe when the “eat healthy” propaganda addresses this issue they never say it’s healthy to eat “vegetables and fruits”! they always say it’s healthy to consume “fruits and vegetables”! so fruits first, or more fruits than vegetables is healthy. It’s “quite healthy” to replace an entire meal with a fruit salad, right? our elders never ate like this. They ate only local fruits , only in season, and only as desert. never as a snack between meals or even replacing an entire meal. And to close: I am sure the growing numbers of children with diabetes under the age of 10 has nothing to do with healthy fruits, right? must be that bad fast food, not the healthy fruits!
One of my friends is 90, in near perfect health. His advice, moderation and variety! Edit: he has never drank alcohol, never smoked or been overweight, has a good family, lots of social interaction, lots of hobbies and interests, and walks as much as he can.
bad advice. she is lucky is all
@@MOAB-UT He is Lucky?
@@akula9713 Yes. Genetics mostly. Many, doing the same things would not make it to 90. Not saying he has a bad lifestyle but even otherwise healthy men die on average before 80. Asians live the longest. Cancers and Heart issues takes most.
My Father lived to 91 and he ate whatever he wanted , but NEVER went to see a Physician ever !
Agreed. Every person's body (based largely on their genetics) is different to some degree, but I believe a balanced diet and exercise are the keys to good health. Following a strict vegan, keto, or carnivore diet has never appealed to me.
Since I can remember in Poland, where I grew up people knew about oxalate toxicity. And when sorrel was in season they would say not to eat too much, only a bit, because of the oxalates.
Yet the life expectancy in Poland isn't even in the top 50 for countries lmao
I miss Sorrel soup from my homeland Poland, now in Australia we make a spinach soup with added lemon and pretend its Sorrel soup :-)
@@Ryan-wx1biTry reading the comment before you get snarky.
In Jamaica we only drink Sorrel for Christmas time. Once a year essentially ❤️
@@shavamalakha3554 very interesting! I didn't realise that sorrel grows in Jamaica. ❤️🫶
No more Tea? The UK has just fainted.
They habitually ad milk in it that binds with oxalate.
The south has fainted too!

Green tea is fine. It's black tea that's the problem.
@@kimberlee2022it's the exact opposite
I believe the best advice I have ever been given, in regard to food and healthy eating, is this: Eat an enormous variety of unproccessed foods, quit sugar, and extremely limit carbohydrates.
@DASO_MILITIA Disagree. First comment got it right!
It's called KETO Jenn.
@@MOAB-UTit’s called blood type diet bc not everyone should eat high fat, Utah.
That’s exactly it!
I do just that. I also avoid flours in general, specially wheat.
Prior to Carnivore, I was eating DAILY:
Spinach, Sunflower seeds, sunbutter, sweet potatoes, kiwi, chia seeds, hemp seeds, hemp milk, quinoa, almonds, pistachios, cacao, cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, and several cups of herbal tea per day.
I had no idea that the majority of my diet was the highest oxalate foods!
Same-
It’s stunning how much harm I caused myself in the name of “good health” 😐
I damaged my gut on this kind of diet so severely that I thought I was going to die. My doc couldn’t figure it out, my blood test was always excellent hehe. Once I found meat again (after 25 or so years) I healed quickly but for years couldn’t have any raw salads or raw veggies. But sauerkraut (rediscovered again) was amazing healer. thank you for the podcast, it’s always good to rediscover stuff ❤🎉
Same! I spent a fortune on organic veg and nuts, thinking I was doing the right thing. Listening to experts. When you're desperate, you'll do anything to feel better. And of course, you do feel better when you cut of sugar and ultra processed foods so you think it's working. You feel better, but not quite right. After moving to full keto, I learned about oxcilates on UA-cam videos and realised my entire diet was just oxcilates for about a year. The dumping was hard, even though I did it slowly, but worth it.
But did you die? How did people not so long ago live off that and were healthy?
@@buzzardscry1383 Haha ALMOST! I literally spent months in and out of the hospitals trying to save my life!
In prior generations, people didn't live off of this diet for very long! They either got sick on a plant based diet, or ate meat! Plants are just survival foods and occasionally for medicine. Not for everyday use and optimal health
I wish I could thumbs up multiple times. This time I looked at the posts, it reflects my clueless friends. If you don't want to change to gain health, Sally is a nut case. I agree it is a weird idea. I had this weird experience when I went on a keto diet because my husband needed to for diabetes and Parkinson's. Both legs knee to thigh started sweating acid. It took me a few months to find Sally. I was dumping oxalates and my immune system was attacking it. High dose prednisone, it turned into a sort of dry eczema. 8 months later I am trying to control the dumping. Oxalates explain my erratic health history and I am grateful to have found the problem late in life. It's a fantastic story that I was forced to listen to.
@@Carol-cb9yu And we get exactly the same testimonials from people who switch to a vegan diet, or the starch solution diet.
@@grahamrogers3345 I don't think starch can solve the high blood sugar problem that my husband has. Nor will it build muscle or increase bone density. God bless the lost souls that are eating starch to solve a health problem.
-Vegetables:Spinach, chard, beet root very high on oxalate
- Potatoes (sweet potatoes included are high in oxalate.
- Nuts (almonds, peanuts, cashews mostly)
-Seeds (pumpkin low on oxalate, sunflower not bad, hemp and chia seeds are high on oxalate)
-Beans (black, white high oxalate, but peas : chick peas, green peas, black Eyed peas, cow peas are low on oxalate, but it has to be soaked.
-Fruits : fruits juice are low on oxalate. Star fruit, star fruit juice, blackberries, raspberries and kiwi are high on oxalate
-Spices: tumeric and cumin
-Tea (black tea is high on oxalate)
- Chocolate very high in oxalate.
- buckwheat, quinoa :high in oxalate
- Vitamin C: can be transformed in oxalate
-Tiamin deficiency : because vit b1 helps to remove the oxalate precursors
- Collagen (high amount) can be a precursor of oxalate .
Thank you.
I wish there was a channel that told you all the foods that are 100% safe to eat. I've cut out so many foods gluten, meats, dairy, nuts for a long time. And all the foods I've been eating thinking they were good for me are now the entire list in this comment. They are filled with oxilates. 😢😢😢 what will I eat to keep living😮

@@JesusIsMySaviour3🥰 thank you that means a lot. I try to listen to my body.
Over seven months carnivore. Ive lost 40 pounds, reversed fatty liver, diabetes and diverticulitis. Among a long list of wins .... I'm not winded anymore, no more bursitis, arthritis no more bleeding gums, my anxiety meds gone pepcid no more!!!! Carnivore saved my life!! I'm sixty years old too and feel better than I ever have. As a sugar addict I'm better off without any!
That's amazing! 60 is the new 30.
Really that's great I'm contemplating about carnivore diet would love to get rid of arthritis kidney cysts and thyroid issues
I've been almost 40 years vegetarian and at 64 I am extremely healthy, and I have a six-pack.
What you didn't know among other things is that we are supposed to have gut bacteria that neutralizes the oxalates.
Our modern lifestyle and the use of antibiotics affect our gut flora, so we lose the natural capacity to counteract the oxalates.
Check out Oxalobacter formigenes.
@@marciabaxley1959 oh totally go for it! Take your time, watch many videos to get encouraged, it really helps especially in the beginning when everything feels new, weird, difficult and confusing. It's Soooooo so worth it. You'll feel better almost immediately but there are side effects too so if you ease into it, it'll be better. Honestly i went cold turkey and i don't regret it but it was SEVERE the first two months. Find a group where you can talk about things or ask under carnivore videos this community is usually surprisingly kind. Good luck, friend!
Stay on that path. It'll be over before you know it....
This is one of the most important health videos i have ever watched! Thank you Sally. I had a bilateral kidneystone clean out last year. The young Doctor said I had crystals in the kidney walls!!! He didn't understand, he was shocked. I didnt know how that would happen...now i do. I was Wole Food Plant Based for over a year...I'm completely poisoned by oxolates, its affecting my joints and eyes, pooping, etc. its horrible. Ive been on Carnivore for a week, and feeling so good, but slowed dumping symptoms with iced tea. Its going to be bad as I heal.
You are a wonderful interviewer!!! I’ve listened to Sally dozens of times. You focus each guest perfectly and steer them so well and don’t over talk. Your technique is superb. Thank you, it’s a gift.
Experimented with some dark chocolate today and within an hour my thumb was throbbing. Learned that lesson…I am a dedicated ketovore.
I have developed a taste for sour pickles and sauerkraut with cheese for dessert!
I have sour Pickles or Lemons with plenty of salt for a snack.
@@maryfeist8080isnt that a lot of sodium
LOL it doesn't work like that. It's not immediate and not from a small amount. You're the perfect example of the nocebo effect.
I did a sudden shift. Best decision of my life. Just eating meat, eggs, salt and drinking water. Actually I'm opening to avocado, coconut oil and lemon, both low carbs and low oxalates, avocado and coconut oil helps to prevent constipation and lemon turns in sodium bicarbonate in your intestines, which is a good idea.
Same here. Never going back to eating like that. 0 I feel so lied to and betrayed by the medical community because I followed their guidelines for years and all it did was make me sick, feel like garbage,and have depression.
So many more medical problems but I'm doing the very best I can now with the knowledge that I've acquired the past year or so
What about fish and shellfish? Cheese? Diary?
Does not work. Fish and chicken do not have enough fat and are not satiating. Dairy products cause inflammation, no matter how much you eat something that says it is lactose-free, like 24-hour yogurt or aged cheese, there is still something there and causes inflammation in the digestive system. Butter gives prostate cancer. Pork has parasites and other diseases, it's no wonder that Jews haven't eaten it for thousands of years. To obtain fat to fry eggs and meat, you can place beef ribs in the pressure cooker and fry and then add water and leave under pressure, you will have meat and oil for later frying.
Gross.
@@Starfish2145 It is delicious and healthy.
I’ve got oxalate poisoning, autoimmune problems all my life then started getting peripheral neuropathy jan 2023. Luckily sally’s book appeared in my Amazon recommended list, I shudder to think what would have happened to my physical and mental health without this info. Sally is definitely one of my favourite humans😂. Only thing left to do is try and dump this junk safely🤞. On a positive note though, the psoriasis I’ve had for over 15 years has gone, as well as the peripheral neuropathy. Thank you sally🙏.
@C.Tiffers is her book contain a list of food with a number by it ? How much oxalate in those foods? Trying to see if I need to buy it or everything already had been said. The only reason why I would buy if there's the list with numbers, so I can decide on a combination of which food I can eat today without overloading my body
I would love to have a quick, 5 minute basic video on oxalates. I know when I share a long video, none of my friends would take the time. Thank you
A 5 minute video is pointless if someone wants to really learn a topic. This video has probably been shortened already.
People are SO LAZY and want to be spoonfed like babies. If they don't care enough about their health to watch an hour video,.they would ANYWAY not apply what is suggested
I absolutely think that gluten, oxalates, and nightshades cause much of our diseases. Although, we can't forget about refined flour and manufactured oil. All these things are slowly killing us.
All food lets you die in the long run, too much of anything a bit sooner, but no food kills you quickly.
I agree!
That sounds spot on,,
Who is eating nightshades?
Seeds oils,glyphosate ,other pesticides and junk food with e numbers and a bunch of chemicals are much worse than gluten ,oxalates and nightshades
So glad this information is getting out there. I stopped eating most vegetables fruits and seeds over a year ago and my quality of life has increased dramatically.
I’m suffering from psoriasis. Was eating chocolate my whole life. Very addicted to it. I’m day 69 on carnivore. I’m totally done with consuming chocolate and chocolate bars.
How is your psoriasis doing? It’s so hard to quit chocolate!! 🍫 I feel for you!!
Maybe get your blood copper tested. Also do a Hair Mineral Test.
Chocolate is high in copper and cadmium. You want neither of them elevated.

@@lrg613 it probably didn’t work because you were under eating? You can eat more calories on a carnivore diet than a carb diet. Plus you need to eat a lot more fat than you think. And make sure you’re taking enough potassium, calcium, and magnesium citrate.

I hope i am doing the right thing; ribeye, chuck, eggs, butter, and bacon.
Carnivore since 3+ years , I am doing fantastic eating the same 😁just don’t forget your electrolytes and salt , ad salt to your diet
Sounds right on. The only thing for me is bacon can have sugar and nitrates that bother me so I dont eat it too often.
I am not so sure about carnivore anymore. I did it for 8 weeks and have never felt so ill.
@@Ann-ly5lk perhaps u tried to do it too quickly, a common mistake
I am ketoish and going lower oxylate food but did carnivore plus Ramadan timed intermittent fasting for about a month (so convenient because there are Ramadan calendar timetables online) and I think it’s a good elimination diet.
I had major oral surgery so I had to then do soft foods for a couple of weeks which has included carbs. Now I’m transitioning slowly back towards a Mediterranean ketoish diet so the granularity of this video was very helpful with that. It’s interesting to know that peas are lower in oxylate content than beans. I appointment Sally’s nuanced approach and like this channel. This one is worth listening to more than once!
Oxalates never seem to bother me but went from.keto to Carnivore 10 months ago and never going back to plants or garbage food.. quit coffee 17 weeks ago today.
Why did you quit coffee? It's low oxalate. Is it bc it's from a plant?
@@gypsyluv1118Coffee is a seed with antinutrients.
@@gypsyluv1118 Drinking it for over 50 years wanted to see what would happen. Sleeping better, teeth are cleaner, and I was using heavy cream which gave me heartburn and it gave me an opportunity to stop dairy. And I am on my way to the Lion lifestyle by my one year Carnivore anniversary.
Been thinking about stopping coffee too. Perhaps decaffeinated, or is it more than just the caffeine that's the problem?
@@grantharding8868 The news is that decaffeinated coffee is much worse for you because of the toxic process to decaffeinate it. Google first. You might not want to drink that...supposedly it's far worse
I had 58 years of a VERY highly plant based diet. Decades of gut issues and trying to manage my health. Two years on carnivore now, and it’s been a wild ride with the oxalate dumping! I jumped straight in initially, but have had to use some plant foods to help manage the dumping. I had bad diarrhoea for over a year with sand and acid. Now I get muscle pain and joint pain, but things are definitely improving. When I look back my story is similar to Sally’s, beginning with the tonsillectomy aged 5 and back issues at 14. Things continue to improve though and I’m pretty sure I’m carnivore for life.
"..sand and acid.." What ?
What do you mean sand??
@@bl0ss0mshum4n oxalate crystals are like sand when they come out in diarrhea and it is very acidic. It burns because oxalate is acidic.
The tonsillectomy could also have been from pasteurized milk. When I was young, we used to get raw milk from a nearby farm. When the farm was sold, he had to buy pasteurized milk from the store. That's when I started getting colds and my tonsils got huge. I had to get mine removed. We didn't realize back then. But, just like she said in the video, as you look back you can see when things started to happen...
I still shake my carton to this day. I use heavy cream in my one cup of real coffee. Any other coffee I have during the day is decaf.
Have started making raw milk kefir when I found a source of raw milk near me. It’s been a game changer. And my milk farmer is the strongest gal I’ve ever met! 🤔
@@barb987 I'd like to drink raw but its banned in Canada and therefore impossible to get save for those small family owned dairy farms out in the sticks where there is no law enforcement

I had plantar fasciitis for months then I started watching her videos. I stopped the high outlasted and it soon (2-3wks) started subsiding. It was great. I’m a believer of her truth.
Oxylates not outlasted
Had the same problem last year. I thought my plantar fasciitis was gonna be with me for the rest of my life. 9 months of frequent pain. The first step in the morning was a killer. Then I tried carnivore and bang… all gone!
No doctor around here could have given me any help. I’m glad you were relieved as well. Horrible pain I wanted to fall on the floor and cry and not go to work. So glad that’s gone.
I’m very disappointed hearing this. If we eat garbage food, it’s bad for us, and now it seems that many of our healthy foods are also not good for us. What’s left, just meat?
It sickening watching this. She’s left nothing for eat or drink. No ginger teas, no teas period. What’s left just water, no coffee? One podcast encourages coffee, dark chocolate, and fish to increase brain function and help prevent dementia. Now all that is left from this video is water nothing else to sustain our bodies.
I think she’s gearing this to ppl who are sensitive to oxalates and I do believe it’s common. I also don’t think I’m one of them but I have never overloaded on trendy super foods either and I’m over 50, vegetarian, zero health problems, tons of energy.
It's not simple, which she said at one point. wishing all the best in their health.
There are still tons of things to eat, maybe just not food that we're used to. Check out the market some time, and you might find a new thing or two or three to try. What's the harm in that?
Today’s meat 🥩 has Nano-Microrobots And Polymers from Toxic Geoengineering.
I went strict carnivore in February 2023. Started shedding pounds and felt terrific. About a month into it, I started oxalate dumping via a white crystals coming out of my skin (arms and legs) and oxalate crystals coming out of my eyes. My eyes were red and inflamed and painful. I went heavy on sweet potatoes and spinach when I did Whole 30 several years ago. During my oxalate dumping last year, I learned about oxalates from Sally’s videos and added a cup of tea every other day. The symptoms cleared and I feel great. I got Sally’s book and I appreciate her knowledge on the topic! Great podcast!

@@clevelandgirl3226 what did you eat? What does a non-oxalate diet look like
@@bl0ss0mshum4n you can go on Sally Norton‘s website, and she provides a list of foods high in oxalates and alternatives that you can eat. The high oxalate foods that I was consuming too much of were sweet potatoes, spinach, dark chocolate, and drank tea all the time.
Didn’t she say tea was bad…
Thank you Sally, you helped me so much in 2020 when I discovered you! I gave up 99% of high oxalate foods and my daily stomach pain disappeared. I was sold! I too need some carbs...I've tried carnivore and for ME, I need some "clean" whole food carbs. Blessings to you both.
Probably was also the many other toxins in veggies and grains too. They have a lot.
What kind of of carb
@@silvamaney8897 Soaked organic potatoes, squash, a little fruit and infrequently white sweet potato. Try not not to be so dogmatic about it and I make sure I cook them all with lots of fat and store them in the fridge after cooking for many hours. What works for Sally also doesn't work for me with some foods.
One man's meat is another man's poison, we are all different, and need to test and observe what is helping and what is not.
Just my opinion: Although some might not be able to eat food with oxalate or just choose not to. Those who do, make sure to lower consumption.
Here are some tips: - cook, simmer, steam or boil food, heavy with oxalate, before eating (throw the cooking water away) . - The calcium in yoghurt, kefir, cream cheese and co. will help bind the oxalate before finally digesting. You can also use millet or tahin (anything with calcium). - You can additionally peel if possible as the most oxalate is often under the skin of the food.
We have oxalobacter in our gut to help eliminate this. But 3-5% will be left to be absorbed by our kidneys, so do not over do it with the oxalate. Overdoing it can cause kidney-stones, as mentioned.
Spinach with cheese, hot chocolate made with milk, Berries with yogurt, peanut butter sandwich with milk. I learned this after i had kidney stones. Food combining matters.
@@Arggggggggg And some people are dairy intolerant. Not just lactose, but any and all dairy.
I am very discouraged because i was pretty plant based and now i went into carnivore for 12 days i experienced stroke pike symptoms such as numbness, tingling, heavy limbs on one side. Had a huge panic attack (never happwned before). Went to the ER twice and they found nothing wrong with me.
I am already taking electrolyte drinks but the symptoms had not went away and im getting a mri done next week.
We need more people to talk about how to switch to meat based diet properly if oxalate poisoning is like what you've said, dangerous and serious.
Same thing happened to me!! I thought I was dying! Er 2x
Most people cannot do this overnight and have to slowly work toward it. Good luck!
That’s called oxalate dumping. It’s better to slowly reduce oxalate than to go cold turkey.
seems like oxalate dumping, i plan on going carnivore and to avoid oxalate dumping I also plan on continuing drinking my black tea with milk ☺️
Yeah it's going into ketosis it can be very stressfull for the body i experienced it. Try keep carbs around 50gr it will help your anxiety trust me
Those leg cramps are due to electrolyte deficiency, not a need for sugar. You can totally live without carbohydrates.
absolutely! Lack of magnesium is the one. I take two kinds of magnesium. Magnesium glycinate for over all health and magnesium citrate to help with the potty visits.
Don't you need carbs to rebuild your glycogen reserves ? As a bodybuilder, I tried keto, but I felt very bad in less than a week. It seems that carb cycling works very well in my case (3-4 meals low on carbs or even zero-carb, followed by a carb reload). I guess we have to experiment, since a diet can be good or bad depending on your gut health, your physical activities, your stress, and so on.
@@matthieusavary983 you don't need to ingest carbs for glycogen stores if you eat enough protein and fat. When you deplete glycogen, you use stored fat for energy as ketones, and any protein that isn't needed for muscle and other tissue repair, is converted to glucose by gluconeogenesis, excess is stored as glycogen, and overeating protein is bad because what cannot be stored as glycogen is converted and stored as fat. But if you're keto, and not eating carbs, you'll access some of that fat if you stop eating too much fat and protein.😅
@@matthieusavary983it can take some people 6 months or more to become fully fat adapted, depending on age, liver health etc
Sally saved my life seriously! I ruined my health and my dogs health having a sweet potato every day. I also ate spinach every day. I was trying to be healthy. I was a skinny malnourished adult. Thank goodness I never did the smoothie craze or most likely would have never made it out alive. My dog didn’t make it.
Happy you recovered! So sorry to hear about your dog. What did he or she end up suffering from that took her life? Were you feeding kibble and/or raw with the sweet potato?
What do you eat now?
@@vally711 sorry just seen your message. She was getting organic sweet potatoes every day. She was urinating all the time just like me. After a very long time with a ton of medications/guesses from the vet I finally asked for her to go to a specialist. She had cancer of the bladder. She died shortly after. She was also on prescribed science diet kibble. Both my dogs were. Both stayed sick.
@@eraera2022 I eventually moved to full carnivore. Going on 4 years. I slowly transitioned. I mainly did this because I didn’t like calculating how many oxalate was in my diet. I like things as simple as possible. I also mentally/physically have never felt better. I’m almost 60 so there was many years of suffering from my vegan diet, over 20 years.
Can SO relate to the severe and debilitating damage that oxalates cause. I dont have many options for carbs either. Raw milk works beautifully for me. And it helps with the dumping symptoms. I am 7 years in. What a journey.
Wow!!! I used to eat a huge spinach eater. So crazy that when I did an elimination diet and tried to incorporate spinach again it immediately out me back into an RA flare! Now it makes so much sense! Rina and Sally thank you for this vital info! ❤
Omg, I eat a lot of the things that i shouldn't be having including chia and almonds and i used to have a lot of rhubarb as a child, my grandmother was a great cook - hardly surprising I have a lot of pain these days. 🙄
Not just tbe oxalic acid but nuts and seeds are also high in phytic acid and very high omega 6. Not to mention these massive crops are extremely harsh on the environment.
If I drink a cup of tea, I get gout symptoms almost instantly no one believes me especially my doctors. That’s great to hear someone talk about it.
This oxalate dumping sounds like what i went through in Oct 2023 for 3wks, i was in a real bad way, bad bad panic attacks, bad heart palpitations, mental health shot to pieces. Lost 30lbs in 2wks. Sort of fixed itself in the end, never found out what it was or what stopped it, but im glad its gone that's for sure.

@@StefanHallTribeOfRhinosyeah all of this, even whether you hear about keto and carnivore, is all determined by what these internet algorithms show you, and every one has a different personalized journey in what we search and what we find...
I've recently been watching a plethora of health videos, particularly nutrition. I also studied health in university. And the best advice 20 years ago still holds, I would say. Avoid as much processed foods as you can, eat a variety of foods and aim for nutrient dense foods, balance between cooked and raw foods, and balance between the food groups: vegetables and fruits, proteins, and whole grains. Drink water.
There are no superfoods. If you truly eat a variety of foods, then you will probably eat a balanced, and therefore "healthy" diet.
MS NORTON DOES NOT AT ALL LOOK ANYWHERE NEAR 60 YEARS OF AGE! THANK YOU FOR SUCH AN INFROMATIVE AND SIGNIFICANT INTERVIEW.I TOTALLY AGREE WITH Akula971 THAT EVERYTHING IN MODERATION IS THE ONLY WAY. AND AS I HAD READ OVER 40 YEARS AGO IN 'SELF' MAGAZINE, EVERY 10 YEARS WE OUGHT TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF FOOD INTAKE.
Rhubarb is king of the poisonous plants that are processed to be "edible".
And cassava
All of it.
Wow. Real eye opener
Poke Weed. Elvis sang about it in Poke (Polk?) Salad Annie.
Just another one of the creator's sick jokes to make it so delicious while it slowly poisons you.
My grandmother lived to 105 in her own home . She ate everything, took milk of magnesia every night. She had family always around her. And she was religious and a calm person. That’s it!
Having people around you is the answer to long life then? LOL!
I could not believe it when a doctor told me I have kidney stones, gallstones, cyst in my kidney, and fatty liver with my healthy strict nutritional diet and I don't eat meat
No meat is your issue. Explore KETO. Did you lose your Gallbladder yet? I did. Feel better. How long ago was all this great news?
You don't eat meat, so your liver is sluggish in making bile, even though if you never ate any cholesterol, your liver makes more than you could possibly consume. Bile is liquid cholesterol with insanely strong acid. When it is stored in the gallbladder but rarely used, it thickens into balls of a jelly consistency. With the name like gallstones, you'd think they'd be hard like rocks, but they are more like boba. lf they get too hard or large, they can either get stuck in the neck opening of the bladder or block the opening altogether. And when the sac squeezes to no avail, it squeezes harder & more in a panic, which is referred to as a gallbladder attack. So when eating no meat, no fats, & with no bile, fat soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, & K go unabsorbed. Even the absorption of B vitamins & vitamin C are affected. Again, when the production of bile is sluggish & the subsequent replacement of wornout cholesterol with replacement of fresh everything gets stalled, so there are cascades of effects throughout the various systems of the body. Your brain is essentially water & cholesterol, hence the joke fat head. The membrane of every cell in the body has cholesterol as a component, so without it, we would all be a blob jello on the ground. Medium chain triglycerides (MCT) are good for the heart, & what do these bond to? You guessed it, cholesterol. Fat & cholesterol are not the demons that Ancel Keyes, Sigmond Freud's kin, made them out to be by purposely cherrypicking data from around the world.
Maybe no meat is working very well for you, just as no fruits or veggies work for others. But remember if the gallbladder is not periodically dispensing some bile, it is stagnating & your rates of absorption of certain minerals may also be affected. Squeezing bile from its storage sac is normal organ function & removal of the gallbladder mean the liver would be constantly trickling bile into the small intestine, but not at a strength to function as intended. That's why those who have had their gallbladders removed are warned not to eat meat, fat, etc, though they can easily take an oxbile supplementation prior or during each meal to mimic the lost activity. And keep in mind cholesterol that is in the bile that still reuseable after digestion is actually reabsorbed & sent back to the liver. So cholesterol is not only a cycle, but a constant recycling system. The more that is used, the more that replaced.
I hope this info made a difference for your understanding of the liver, bile, gallbladder, gallstones, digestion, reabsorption, & return cycle, even if it doesn't change anything physical in your world. Knowledge is power & the more we understand. The better decisions we can make with our lives & bodies.
@@WatchingMyLifeFlashB 😮
Our Ancestors were Scavengers. They didn't eat 8 meals a day like we do today. They were lucky to find food every second or third day.
@@WatchingMyLifeFlashB thank you so much!
Now I understand why every time I eat almond, and leafy greens I feel sick . Fallowing the ketogenic diet , no wonder I plateau with loosing weight . I wish I knew it before
Excellent advice, validated all my concerns.
Same for me😟
This probably explains why India with its high percentage of vegetarians, or plant-based eaters, has such a massive problem with obesity .
I was on the same boat. I couldn't understand why Ketogenic diet, after a short initial burst, suddenly stalled! And in fact I was slowly getting worse! Greens, almonds and other nuts. Almond milk, almond flour... and a vast etc.
At the time, there was a gut feeling telling me that all that processed "crap". Somehow didn't make sense.
For what it's worth I had my own garden lettuce, carrots, kale, cabbage, etc. All "healthy", all organic no pesticides, and so on... I really taught I was doing the right thing. Obviously the body was screaming for help. Screaming for me to stop poisoning myself... I simply didn't understood. Carnivore literally saved my life. I call it a MIRACLE! Yes, with capital letter. ;-)
@@carlosipec2270 you need to fly over to India and teach the hundreds of millions of vegetarians a thing or two. Think what you could do for Big Meat too!
Some cultures put milk (calcium) in their tea to bind the oxalates. Others combine spinach with cheese. Is this why?
My big dump happened 21/2 years being strict carno. Last year my skin on my arms went crazy with tiny white crystals coming through. The pain was awful. Its been almost a year with it returning four times now. Thankfully each new round is milder than the last.
When I started carno I didnt know about slowly reducing high ox foods. Before carno it was 2-3 spinach smoothies a day, almost daily sweet potatoes, high vit C because of dental issues. Perfect candidate for hell later on.
Currently I drink green tea in the morning and squeeze a lemon everyday.
Slowly but surely I’m recovering.
What are the white crystals.
Green tea doesn't have oxalates?
@@spookems8 calcium oxalates.
@@arisemylove it does but Sally recommended it if oxalate dumping gets a little intense…which it did for me. The idea is to take in some oxalate to tamper the dump. I also take a tablespoon of sweet potatoes also.
Unfortunately I went cold turkey when I went carno. Shouldnt have done that but I didnt know better at the time.
@pixelkat1819 Same thing for me. Doctor Sally Norton does say that every person is unique, and so everybody must pay attention to their symptoms and adjust accordingly. This is not a game. The best advice given in this video is that people must do the diet change at a very slow pace.
Because of the severe reactions from oxalate dumping it is sensible to say that that people must pay attention to their reactions to foods. Carnivore diet seems to be the way to go.
I'd like to ask Sally. What constitutes a healthy diet ? What does she eat ?
You have to do your due diligence. Don't try to do the easy way out. What Dr. Sally eats is particular to her condition and her history of eating and the level of toxicity her body has stored. Each of us is unique, and as such we have to adapt in unique ways. Start paying attention to your body for clues. Start slowly because this is not a game and you can really mess yourself up if you don't do it properly.
In generally, for me, and many the answer is pretty simple. Keto. So low carb and healthy fats like wild fish, steak, light on chicken, sea food and low starch Veg., Garlic, Onion (raw only for both), etc. Make a list. Google Lectins, Oxalates and limit the big offenders. Drink water. Check your glucose at home. Start running. If you this, you will be way ahead of the pack. Don't drink or smoke.
What did our Ancestors eat? That is your answer right there.
Welcome to the ping-pong world of food & nutrition. Honestly...this is doing my head in!!!
People tend to go overboard on opinions. They eat a lot of what is considered good n not those considered bad. My sister died because she hardly eat salt due to the idea that eating salt is bad for one's health.
Refined salt is no good for sure. Salt is very important, that’s why salt that I buy is always expensive, non refined and good quality.
Sorry to hear about your sister 💔
wow I'm sorry that happened to your sister. My auntie was also hospitalised in a critical condition after eating no salt at all...
Sorry to hear of your loss. My mother believed the same and so did I. Lots of Arythmia and heart problems until I moved to my wife's country were electrolytes are cheap and essential day to day due to the heat.
Im having all them problems. Im diabetic i have arthritis i had frozen shoulder, both shoulders gout and i eat healthy and always have but have always been overweight from 6 years old. Thank you for this video, it's a real eye opener. God bless you 🙏.
Your frozen shoulder could be pseudo gout caused by oxalates.
25:15 yep, it's great, because it's all the plants I'm growing this year. Can't eat dairy & many other recommended foods. More things I have to worry about. Even carrots are on the list on some websites but I feel better after having them in my vege juice. Japanese eat sweet potatoes all the time & don't have all these issues.
Your interviews are outstanding
Is there anything we CAN eat? And if so, what IS that?
Carnivore diet!
Look on line for charts showing whether foods are high/medium/low in oxalates. Trade spinach salad for iceberg or Romain. If you have to have nuts eat macadamia or pistachio. Lima or butter beans or black eyed peas are on the low end of beans. Broccoli and zucchini are on the low end. Black pepper, chia, sesame are high(especially sesame/tahini).
This whole discussion is bogus. Go back in evolutionary time and none of the natural foods that humans ate in their varying habitats caused disease.
Also, people need to urinate at night because they drank too much. You don't need some overcooked, complex, and verbose explanation from another academic intellectualising LITERALLY EVERYTHING.
Do yourselves a favour and read The Story of the Human Body by Daniel Lieberman. Evolutionary mismatch type diseases.
What did our Ancestors eat? That is your answer right there.
@@Peekaboo-Kitty Mammoth steaks..
Today, our foods are so toxic with chemicals. So I decided to eat everything in moderation and keep good hydration. No junk foods,sweets, and commercial drinks. Keep myself active and mobile. I have my own little vegies and fruits garden too. I do not believe in super foods😂😅. I am an active74 years old & told my husband that I'll live to 100 like my parents & grand parents did. People always complement me that I look young and agile for my age.
Would be interesting to see her have a discussion with Dr. Michael Gregor.
Dr Gregor would destroy her science. I watched this because a friend asked me to. Honestly, I have never seen anyone state this much mis/dis-information in one hour as this woman to give people false hope. She stated she's 60 in this interview and has been sick most of her life. I'm 60+ and I've always been plant based, and high raw. I eat 3K to 5K+ plant based calories every day (everything she says not to eat I eat quantities of). I do not eat meat. Plus I have plenty of friends who have been vegan for 50± year's with no issues. I hike 40+ miles a week and rarely sick. All I can say is educate yourself, and listen to your body.
Well I didn’t see this early enough….I’m 35 days into strict carnivore and boom Oxalate dumping like a mother🤦♀️ how long does this go on for…ps not giving up carnivore…I’m winning this battle😄
I'm 35 days in too but I do coffee with tsp cream 3x per day. I'm 74, been ill with
Fibro Chronic Fatigue for 4 decades. Been on Keto for 4 yrs and two weeks before carnivore I ate only boiled chicken and sauteed cabbage so no dumping that I can notice. I still don't see appreciable difference in pain/fatigue but also am not worse. I'm committed to 90 days and then I may add some foods back in
but prob not many. Best, p
How do you know you are dumping oxalates
@@hawkeye9382 I figured this was the best explanation when no other explanation was available.
I'm 2 months in carnivore and the first month was the worst for me. I had no idea that vitamin c was horrible for us! Ugh. I hate the fact that she said you could be sooooo far down the road of carnivore (her example was 6yrs) and then your body dumps oxalate. This is scary to me as I ate all of these bad foods for years! And prided myself on growing all those veggies too! Yikes!
I think Sally has said your body can dump oxalates for up to 10 years, going through cycles.
I would suggest if you continue to consume some veggies or fruits eat it separately from animal based foods. After animal based foods consumption don’t eat other food group at least 2-3 hrs. Because of anti nutrition properties of that food group it will interfere with proper digestion of animal based foods. 25-30 years ago Dr. Chopra wisely recommended this and a lot of people had enormous benefits to follow it. Good luck everyone ☺️❤️
Great one!!! I have never been able to eat a lot of the "healthy" foods like chia seeds... i tried hard but no... im so grateful for the return of the real human diet... carnivore
😂😂😂
@@blackpalacemusic Why are you laughing?
@@marilynwogahn6262 exactly
Dumping.
Dangerous with detoxing fluoride, too.
The kidneys are very sensitive!!
I just listened from another YT channel and these foods are really good for the body and now😢 I don't know what to eat anymore😢.
I recently overloaded on oxalate foods, spinach, almond butter, chocolate, etc., and I broke out with symmetrically located itchy pimples all over my body, which indicated that my body was casting off toxins. I suspected oxalates and did some research finding a JAMA article that said the body rids itself of oxalates through the kidneys and skin with breakouts. Now, when i have too many oxalates, I'll get one of those pimples or two. This might be why i have a thyroid nodule, which doctors will tell us have no cause that they know of. I wonder if eye floaters are the result of oxalates. Thank you, for your work on oxalates.
Wow, I used to drink all day long thee with sugar. A day I couldn’t staying on my legs, couldn’t open a bottle of water. I thought I was dying. Now I understand why I developed few autoimmune diseases. I was a very small meat eater and a lot of vegetables. Later for a period of 12 years i became 100% vegan. Make green juice with celery as base, eat a lot of broccoli, green beans, salade, avocado I can’t imagine eating meat only. I’m French spoken person and hope your book will be translated. Thanks
Intend to soak or steam high oxalate seeds and nuts.
What is thee?
I find that it’s important to evaluate information even science based and examine how it affects me as an individual. Customized medicine is much needed because not all clinical studies apply to everyone.
Everyone is different. There are body types which breakdown into peoples temperaments and how they react mentally, emotionally and therefore physically. So whereas some benefit from the carnivore diet, others don’t. Humanity is finally starting to recognize that nutrition and sickness is about the individual and how they have handle life. 🕊🙏
Yes in naturopathy it is called bio-individuality!
Great interview. Thank you for posting it. The hardest thing is breaking the mental conditioning. Everyone I grew up around believed veggies were good for you and fat and red meat were terrible. It took 10 years of a "green" diet for me to get sick enough to admit, something wasn't adding up. It's been years now since I changed my diet and I'm still suffering from the past damage of spinach smoothies, bags of trail mix and a chocolate addiction.
46 minute she talks about how she was getting leg cramps and weight gain. Wish she would have tried adding minerals and more fat intake before she added carbs to see if that would have worked for her. Amazing insights into oxalates. Grateful for her respect for individual differences.
Brine cured my leg cramps
@@juliadixon8465 brine?
Exactly what I thought - magnesium.
Just goes to show not to take everything one person says as gospel. No one has all the right answers.
Which minerals- just Mag? I need to gain weight on Keto- any suggestions? I feel good though. I am old and can run 12 mph. Just too skinny- BMI of 20. I do lift but not too heavy.
Within a couple of weeks of going low oxalates, my eyes look so clear, I had horrible dumping, no kidney stones, but tons of irritation in the vaginal area.
It is so individual for each person. I had insane oxalate issues and at one point had them coming out my nose and the rims of my eyes. And felt like I was being stabbed by a billion needles in my legs and my butt when I would walk That went on for years until I went carnivore. I drank a TON of milk tho to prevent serious dumping. I would sometimes have to drink a half gallon a day since lemons were out for me. Good luck on your healing journey.
What a great talk! Thank you both!
Fortunately I’ve never been a fan of kale, sweet potatoes, tea. Much of my diet is in fact beef and dairy. Perhaps too much sugar. Or carbs.
Just dumped a tub of buckwheat yesterday for being to old. Some quinoa will be gone too.
But some cream cheese chocolate fudge is setting up in the fridge right now. Yes I know. Chocolate. Gotta have some oxalates though, yeah.
What ever happened to a good balance? I haven't eaten meat in years due to food poisoning...probably wasn't the meat but I made a change 23 yrs ago. I am now vegan and haven't had any issues. I change up my menu weekly. I find this all so fascinating how our bodies react differently from one another. Stay healthy everyone!
If what you state is true , then you are one in a million benefitting from a vegan diet. Get back to us in another ten years or so and let's see where your health is then.
I loved this video. Love Sally Norton's book. I purchased it and at first I just didn't get it and set it on a shelf. But I continued to research. Now I'm using her book daily. This video helped even more. I get it now and I'm already working to reduce my oxylate overload without going overboard and hurting myself. A little tea (no sugar just monk fruit) is what I'm consuming to help avoid the 'dumping'. Thank you both so much. You're rock stars in my book! 😀👍
I’m surprised Sally didn’t mention just taking magnesium citrate and calcium citrate which will bind to the oxalic acid and help with the oxalate dumping symptoms greatly.
Black tea is just adding more oxalates. As somebody who has a very toxic overload that I do, having black tea would only make things worse. Adding oxalates isn’t the answer.
@@belle42 Hey Belle, I didn't notice that. Although I'm sure I heard that already from some source or the other. I just now checked her book and she does encourage calcium but doesn't seem to mention magnesium. I purchased both calcium citrate and magnesium citrate. I'm just now starting this protocol and I'll admit I'm not finding it easy but I am determined!
@@charleeghee7195Consuming supplements can create imbalance in the body.
When you take a supplement the body will down regulate its own production of that substance in the supplement. And vice versa. Taking supplements, which are mostly produced by the pharmaceutical industry by the way, can really mess you up, so be very careful.
@@ottokroupa7379 Uh huh, are you forgetting that the food in groceries stores are almost completely void of the nutrients our bodies need? I do my research both on what I believe I need to improve my health and that includes the companies selling them. So, please do tell me what your field of expertise is that you feel it's a good thing to try to advise a total stranger?
I would like to see studies on this. Some of this makes sense but most does not.
Go to Google scholar and type oxalates or read the book and look at the studies in it
Ever have oxalates come out your nose? Or the rim of your eyes? It makes sense. Totally.
I’m one of the folks who did not get away with going cold turkey and straight into a carnivore diet. 30 days in, I was in the ER with bad kidney pain. Gotta ease your way into carnivore over even up to 8 months in some cases. Trying again working my way back to it slowly
Is there a test to check if you have oxalates poisoning?? Because the symptoms you describe can be anything…and self diagnose can be difficult…tiredness, joint pain, sleep problems….
I thought this would be scare mongering for the sake of sales. Couldn’t be further from the reality. Such well balanced and honest information. TY
Fruits and vegetables are not the enemy. But too much of a good thing is bad for you. Go get a check up and talk to your doctor. For those of us who are healthy, eating a balanced diet and exercise is the way to go.
Drs are not trained in diet but they will give you drugs to mask symptoms from a poor diet
Some are lower in oxalates than others therefore some will be okay to consume. For no oxalates don't eat them.
Most doctors don't know / care about health.
😂
Lol majority of doctors only knows what the association teaches them, majority of them definitely doesn't know obscure things like this.
Great till min 47,after that what Sally says is just not true,unless you undereat. If you eat fatty red meat and butter you do not slow your metabolism, you just have to eat enough. Carbs are not essential and they do not increase your athletic performance. I am an athlete myself and I can confirm that. Dr. Chaffee explains it perfectly.
Wait. This is mainly talking about raw veggies. (Note, our ancestors cooked everything. Let that sink in) Also, what about the effect of cooking and dehydrating to foods that contain oxilates? I understood from my research through the years, that the oxalates are destroyed through cooking and dehydration. What have you found out about that? For anybody who read the book, did she touch on that in the book?
Good point 😅
I was thinking the same thing. Would also like to know if it's mentioned in her book.
I haven't read her book, but I would be shocked if she was eating raw potatoes. Just sayin.
I did the Weston Price thing for years. Didnt wortk for me. Cooking veggies did not help my situation at all.
@@lr1732 I agree. Raw or even cooked doesn't help. Which is why I have started to ferment or pickle if I have veggies. I hope you find the solution that works for you for a thriving life.
Yes, i wish I would have known about oxalates, lectins & of course the carnivore diet! I suffered for 35 years! 😩
Did you know that millions of people in India eat lentils daily with no problems?
Dr sten eckberg is the go to for nutrition and nutrition related health advice
You need to try priming first... that lull in energy on carnivore is temporary.. then you feel amazing...
I certainly hope so.
Day 27 for me! Yay! I just figure there's a lotta healing going on. But I can say that depression has lifted and that's so so amazing.
I never really understood priming- seems Bella’s channel is the only one who does it. So, my understanding is eat three carnivore meals a day for two weeks and lots of butter when you first start out and it’ll feel like a ton of food but it’s healing you 🤷🏻♀️🧐🤔
@yukonsusie kind of... it's basically you're feeding yourself what you're body is asking for probably for the first time in your life until you're body says enough.. then you move to a new aurophagy phase .. it's amazing.. and you so not eat or physically crave or need carbs if you do it... it's really amazing
Loved the video. One thing I would say is muscle cramps or spasms are mostly caused by a lack of magnesium. Look up what this essential mineral does, its muscle relaxant for one thing. Especially if you're exercising and have a good love life, you will be low on magnesium and potassium and zink. Which will make you feel low and lack of energy. . Q10 and adding foods steamed high in zink fish shell fish etc and Amino acids will really help. Really worth remembering. 😊
Wow. I have been recently reading about oxalate in spinach, and vitamin C. Sally's story is amazingly like my story, right down to the foot. This is the most helpful video I've ever heard on YT. I just ordered Sally's book and I'm going to stop the 1000 mg of Vitamin C. Thank you!
Every BODY is different. The blood type diet is the best example so far to me of that.
Now excreting 63 years of oxalate accumulation. It’s pure misery but at least I have information on how to manage symptoms naturally. This will never be acknowledged by allopathic medicine because they get to sell drugs to treat all the different body systems affected. I have some younger friends and I have tried to inform them but no one takes it seriously because they don’t have symptoms yet. This is going to be another epidemic of chronically I’ll people in the coming decades IMO.
Yep. Nobody but my brother has even cut carbs a little since I’ve miraculously healed right in front of everyone and dropped 30 pounds i didn’t even know I had to lose. They say I’m too thin but I say I feel and look great!
I'm there with you. At 68, still working on the 2+cm kidney stone (now fragmented into two 1cm stones, and may have to be manually removed because passing fragments causing issues). Parathyroid removal, "watching" thyroid which is cystic, but functioning okay. Tooth removal. Excruding oxalates right through tissues and out skin and scalp. 😢
If you can access some good quality raw milk and do well with dairy try that. It saved my life. Literally.
