    I’ve had long Covid for 22 months, debilitating fatigue brain fog and post-exertional malaise. Stumbled across carnivore videos on UA-cam and started carnivore eating on 19th December. All symptoms cleared in the first week. Improving daily. This is the first thing that has given me hope, doctors had no answers for me all this time.

I'll admit I went on vacation in early June and cheated a little, which actually brought back the fatigue along with bad headaches. I'm going to stick to carnivore for a couple more months with no cheat days. I can tell that I feel the best when eating only animal products.

    I honestly believe that most people do not know or understand what ‘metabolic’ health is. Years ago I ate mostly plants, low fat meat, low salt and as much fibre as I could because I tended towards constipation. I felt terrible but carried on for years, believing that I ate a healthy balanced diet. Until the government changes the narrative concerning diet, the confusion will continue......

    In my opinion, no doubt about it. I'm a 5 year carnivore. My own experience ( n=1) nobody was exposed to more covid than I was, and I mean nobody...I worked corrections, and I was responsible for taking care of almost 600 positive covid cases all at the same time. I dealt with the posiitive inmates "up close", handled their laundry, mail, food, everything... I worked overtime up to 65 hours per week because nobody wanted to come to work. On top of all this, I had a live in girlfriend (nurse) who had covid. Thankfully, I never contracted covid. My personal opinion is because of the following: 1. getting the sugar out of my diet asap. 2. Eating nutrient dense bio available foods that contain some vitamin D. I have done some research, and found that "LDL" has a role in the immune system. Maybe I just got lucky, or maybe there is something to being a carnivore. Just my hypothesis.

    Having been keto and more recently ketovore for over a year now, I have had covid twice. The first time, it was barely noticeable, the second it was pretty much exactly like a bad cold, lasting about 5 days. More interestingly I haven't had any other infections or illnesses in that whole time - no coughs, colds or sore throats - the kind of things I used to have multiple times in a year.

    I tested positive for it three times. Each time I got it was milder. The last time I tested positive I was asymptomatic other than feeling less motivated. The worst flu of my life was when I was plant based in 1993. The first time I had covid in 2020 I lost my sense of smell and taste. It took 6 months for it to return to the point I could enjoy a tasty steak fully again. Never had much of a cough and sinus headache was my first symptom. The next symptom was nausea and followed up by intense sneezing and mucus. Within 2 days I was 90 percent better.

    I am also just dealing with my first bout of covid. It hit while on a Seattle trip and being on the road heading back to
    New Mexico. It hit my vocal cords sounding very froggy. I think that being carnivore is also helping me with the
    whole illness. It hit me with a bit of a lower energy level and being a bit of feeling ungrounded. Totally lost smell
    lungs are pretty clear over all. Finally made it home and was driving up to 12 hours a day. I am still navigating
    it but am doing quite well. Oh worst on the road was feeling absolutely freezing. I think part of the difficulty
    is having had a total thyroidectomy done and medication is not yet balanced. Not sure how many more days of
    this but am doing much better than I could have been.

    Couple of comments.
    The studies you cited seem to be calling LC symptoms a sequelae of covid serious enough to be hospitalized. Many in the LC community got it after socalled mild illnesses defined as did not require hospitalization. Many are also younger and a significant proportions are even high performance athletes.
    More recent studies are showing many people are living with LC and dont even realize it. Many people who havent had symptoms they recall, dont know they have actually been exposed and have antibodies in their bloodstream.
    I have LC and have started carnivore and ADF in the hopes of helping my body recover from the damage caused by the virus along with the metabolic syndrome my body was already dealing with due to a faulty diet (plant based diet couple with junk food addiction).
    Even if i cant cure the LC I know improving my metabolism will help with my QOL. Im also going to be getting a scooter and a walker on Tuesday just to give you an idea of my level of wellness. In 2020 i used to walk >15 miles a day for my job. Now walking feels like im running flat ouft everywhere. I creep along and have to rest multiple times. Its exhausting.

    Thank you, doctor, for sharing your experiences. You look reasonably good for having it, and I hope you're in top shape, soon! I had it almost exactly 3 years ago (week leading up to Christmas '20), and it flattened me for a solid two days. The third day, I was barely able to drive to get tested. Fast forward to last week. My wife and kids were sick for 2-4 days each with some sort of virus, but I never caught it. Coincidence? Maybe...maybe not, because I'm low carb a year now and my first Carniversary is around Christmas. In fact, I haven't been sick once, since I became Carnivore, but my family has been sick a few times. I really think you're on to something with this video. FYI-I just started taking colostrum yesterday, which might be beneficial for you, even though it's after the fact. I tried the container with mini scoop, as opposed to capsules. Yesterday, I tried it mixed with about 6 oz. of water, and it was tasty. Today, I tried it in my coffee and liked it, too (yes, I'm not 100% strict Carnivore).

    Ive always been an omnivores with heavy vegs because of being a recent cancer survivor. In dec 2023 got covid that turned into long covid. Dr leo gallands info says eat plant based for long covid. However.... I got a whim to go carnivore because I couldn't eat much, was so bloated, and knew I needed more protein because of the adrenal fatigue component. Within ONE day of nearly pure carnivore, I felt 50% better. Have continued to improve. I'm also a nutrition scientist and I'm telling you, carnivore works in wondrous ways.

By the end of the week I was at normal energy with no symptoms. I have not had a second round of covid despite me, from the beginning, not social isolating and only wearing a mask when demanded of me (40 year nurse, Masters, and 3 years on FEMA Pandemic response team in S. California-they followed very little of all we had planned for right out of the gate. I was appalled ). Still get triggered when the topic comes up.

    Im an un-v_a-xx.d individual who happened to get pretty serious negative effects from the c-one9 era. I'm currently 42. Before said era, i worked hard and played hard. I grew up athletic and active. Also had a party side beginning in middle school. My 20's was def most unhealthy period of my life as i was pursuing a music career and happened to indulge in the "Rockstar " lifestyle throughout. Iwas skinny fat i.e. looked like a slim pregnant man - from my affinity to alcohol , smoking and garbage foods... fast forward to my 30's, i became health concious and over the last decade+, i weaned off cigarettes and alcohol. Would have streaks of clean eating+workout, then Would have a night out down town or whatnot, get the drinks+cigs in me, and then be on that hype for a month or so. Then just alternate those two scenarios for the last ten ish years.... either way, every time id get back to clean eating ( used to be like low fat-hi protein-Moderatelely high carbs-homemade smoothies, always some veggies in a meal) and working out, I'd end up detoxed and feeling amazing for the most part. I always kinda joked that for me, 30's was new 20's and as i was approaching my 40' that that was the new 30's.... Then c_one9 came about (oh yeah, i even named two of my smoothies -1 C19 Eliminator and 2 The Coronanator) and I'm sure i got the Del_ta and Original Omicr_on. 2nd one for sure because i did a home test and was positve for the C..... i initially thought the big C was not a big deal, as i could recall many flu infections giving me worse overall illness/symptoms.... then enter Long C 0 _V 1d... my workouts were no longer helping me. Actually, at one point it was seeming to become a deleterious activity as i would get sick instantly like the next day after a gym session. Happened two consecutive times in the beginning. One time, i took my pre workout (which I've always taken for workouts/ or black coffee) and shortly into the workout, thought i was going to have a heart attack... my chest/lung/heart area generally became very suspect.... i didn't feel the need to see a doc as i was already suspicious about this whole era, and therefore the medical institution, plus i could count on one hand how many times I've been to a doctor in my whole life anyway.... so i began my own research which led me to taking plethora of vitamin/supplements to name a few that i think helped - ZINC, B1 as BENFOTIAMINE, D3, DIFFERENT COMPLEXES, AND NAC, among others... they helped, but i still couldn't fully shake the PEM and general fatigue/brain fog issues. Id say the supps got me from feeling like 60% of my best self to about 70%..depressing times for sure.. during this time i was also fascinated with keto and carnivore vids, but i was only able to have success with low carb (which added to my overall improvement, like 70%to 80%) and couldn't wrap my head enough around carnivore to give a try (yet) even though I've always preferred savory over sweet... Should probably mention that in 2021 i got to my heaviest ever @215 lbs (with everything being shutdown= one of my most least active period). I'm 5'10.... before the C era i was an intentional solid 195 from my mass gain workout regiment ... and before that i was able to cut my skinny fatness down to my high-school weight 165....
    So, i actually think i was suffering some ill effects spurred on by my C infections + history of far from perfect lifestyle, but i also think a unofficial diabetes diagnosis was the culprit of my sustained symptoms as well. That's why i mentioned me reaching 215 lbs because i think that's when i became some kind of diabetic, which could also cause similar fatigue issues...
    Fast forward to approximately 3 months ago, i finally give the Carnivore WOE a go... and guess what? ... BOOM, like a week into it, im able to workout hard again on my days off and go back to work (a very physically demanding job) and not feel wiped out and regretting working out.... just recently did a 36hr fast and worked out both days and MAN WAS IT TWO OF THE BEST WORKOUTS I'VE EVER HAD!! Especially the day two workout. Being fat adapted and running on ketones is next level !!!
    Earlier i mentioned the diabetes stuff because as soon as i go virtually 100% zero carb/sugar, i finally completely shake off all the sustained ill effects that began during the C era, during which at one point i became my most overweight....
    Was it Long C 0 V 1_d ? Was it some form of diabetes? A combination of both? Dunno. Do know Carnivore was the remedy. And is now my WOE 🙏🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
    In case anyone out there with a similar back story, i hope this helps🙏🏽✌🏽
