Thanks for the video. I have been now on a keto diet for two months. Lost already eight kilos and improved my sleep significantly. I will not go back to my old life, where carbs were a significant part of my diet.
Take 2 cloves in the evening ( I chew them and they are quite pleasant once you get used to them and I wash down with distilled water) if you cant face chewing them make a tea and steep the cloves in the tea drink the tea and swallow the cloves when they are soft.....You can add this to your anti Inflammatory arsenal...
I was strict keto, organic, omad for years, no alcohol, very few carbs(less than 15)but going strict carnivore has helped. Unfortunately i have had long covid since March 2020, first wave, s my body os in an inflammatory response even though i do introduce any via food.
After 6 years of doctoring for all sorts of inflammatory diseases and having no success we discovered, purely by chance that my wife has CIRS which is Chronic Inflammation Response Syndrome caused by mould poising. It is a very debilitating problem and is not picked up in normal blood scans but needs several( you guessed it ) expensive blood tests to prove the diagnosis. We have started a protocol to address the problem and the prognosis is very encouraging. Have to move out of our house and find a new place to live. Keep up the good work on the Videos Oxalates are another cause of inflammation that most people are not aware of, but can cause a lot of problems.
I thought I was lactose intolerant for over ten years I wasn’t for all my life about fourty or more years then it started bothering me when I had dairy and then tomatoes and then onions I had about stopped eating everything I loved until my hip got crippling pain when I moved them I layed in bed for two years in pain the doctors t prescribed physical therapy lol needless to say I couldn’t walk to go I prayed all the time and finally I got the answer I started taking vitamins and minerals and today I’m fine I eat what I want everything I loved I eat and buttermilk I can’t get enough I also take turmeric and some herbs teas my back doesn’t hurt anymore no pain and no I don’t take pharmaceutical drugs of any kind and I’m sixty one my heart palpitation are gone to the Lord is Good taste and see Thank you for this video I just hope people will listen to you and follow your advice I know it’s good advice I have done it on my own through prayer and advice from God
Milk and dairy products are metabolized in an acidic way in the human body and promote inflammatory processes. In order to maintain a certain vital pH value, the body decalcifies our bones in a pinch, which leads to osteoporosis. In recent decades, with our overconsumption of dairy products, the rate of osteoporosis has not decreased one bit. Meat and dairy products promote inflammatory processes in the body and lead to cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis, heart attacks, stroke, dementia and diabetes. Plants are metabolized alkaline and have an anti-inflammatory effect! !️
@@shapefixer so would consuming seeds like organic pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds etc. be inflammatory or is it just the oils in processed foods that are inflammatory?
@@asbeautifulasasunsetAll seed oils, including organic ones, are inflammatory. For salads, it's best to use Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which has strong anti-inflammatory properties. When it comes to cooking, use only animal fats like duck or goose fat, or lard if tolerated. Plant-based oils that are suitable for cooking are coconut and avocado oil, which have the highest smoke point. It's recommended to use organic and cold-pressed oils whenever possible.
@mg14d26 @asbeautifulasasunset That explanation is spot on, thank you. Eating pumpkin seeds is fine though, they are not full of factory-processed, altered oils (trans fgats). I'll be doing a video on fats and oils very shortly, to explain in simple terms what that is all about (ie saturated vs unsaturated vs trans fats). We've all heard about it, we are all told which are "good" or "bad" (confusingly!) but nobody ever really explains what any of it means. Watch this space! - Andrew
@@shapefixer yes, sugar, carbs are the enemy, but ive seen convincing evidence recently as to the extent of my results being heavily influenced by my indirect elimination of seed oils when commencing carnivore. Are you in Australia? Im in Adelaide, my weight loss in first 8mths of carnivore was 34kg. Cured arthritis, ibs, gastric reflux, depression, anxiety, prostate problems, joint pain, sleep apnoea, inflammation, t2 diabetes and a host of other health problems. Physical and mental health transformation has been somewhat startling. At 63 im back in the workplace now shaming guys half my age. My testosterone is through the roof and im never tired, never hungry. Remarkable.
@@johnallen7367I have all these health issues, can you please send me a list of the foods that got you healed? Thanks very much, sir, and God bless you!
There isn't much food left to eat lol , I'm eating healthy real foods but can't have lentils as they have lectins cooked beens have lectins and sweet potatoes have carbs . Vedgetables and salad don't keep me full as I only have about 100 gr of meat daily . Meal times are stressful.
You need to try eating more meat, fish, eggs and lots of oil and fats. Then you wont be hungry. The only fat you need to avoid is trans-fat: So use butter and never margarine, and use olive oil never seed oils like sunflower, safflower or canola. Put a teaspoon of coconut oil or butter in your coffee, it will give you a good energy supply and stop you feeling hungry. Dont be afraid of fat!! We were sold a lie in the seventies and somehow the paranoia has stuck (though it's getting better as more doctors and scientists understand the new research). Oh if you're not lactose intolerant, eat cheese and yoghurt.
@@snezanavl8580 It's difficult, we've been so brainwashed! I still catch myself starting to cut fat off my food before I cook it, and reminding myself to leave it on! It's such a habit after all these years!

I'm in my late 40s and could feel my health was crumbling the last 5 or so Years, it started with high blood pressure in my early 40s and my weight going up and ended up on HBP tablets, this was all down to my diet. I'd been getting gout now and again and starting to get aches and pains here and there. Overall I felt I was still not the worst diet wise but sugar was one of my sins for eating. I decided to get a full blood panel and this showed not surprisingly high uric acid, high Triglycerides, HbA1c, Creatinine and low HDL and testosterone. I was also getting frequent bloating and acid regurgitation and a lot of phlegm. I knew this was only going to go one way, I'd been the heaviest I'd ever been and I didn't like being on HBP pills either. I did try the carnivore diet for a week just before xmas and I lost a ton of weight, just in that week, but knew xmas was going to be a food fest so decided to get xmas over with and then either start carnivore or go on the cambridge diet, which I had done 5 Years ago with a lot of success, although put it all on again, mainly down to me not really having a plan how I was going to restart a proper eating plan. I think the way I want to do it is get the weight off and then start eating a more carnivore/keto type diet long term. Got a blood test soon to see where I'm at just now as been on cambridge diet for a week so far, but it's going to take about 3 Months to get back down to my ideal weight.
I found i could acheive all of this... i took up meditating on the breath for 2 half hour sessions a day and i nolonger craved half as much... sometimes not at all...
That was a "thumbs up" that there is hope for you, not that you have a problem... you can do this, you'll be amazed. If you look at my hip video (maybe you've seen it?

The science on oxalates is patchy, there are lots of opinions at this stage and of course someone's opinion will be proved the right one in time, I'm going to read up on the research and do a video as many people are asking me this.

I think most people have bad injuries that they live day to day with not realizing the extent of the damage and the inflammation that is slowly killing them. I have a bad shoulder injury for the past 13 years and let me tell you it wasn't until I started deep FIR healing with an amethyst mat that I started curing my severe underlying nerve damage to the vagus nerve & brachial plexus. I think this injury has probably already taken a good 10 or 15 years off of my lifespan (I am 33).
He's right , eat right, berries, salads, veggies, fish, chicken, eggs, a little red meat once a week. Keep moving, slow steady improvement through lightweight exercise, breathing meditation. The healing will come. Faith! You gotta go get it through action. The body is amazing at healing
I take a particular interest in this subject for 2 reasons, firstly because I'm an osteoarthritis sufferer (hip and knee primarily) and second i work in the food industry with flavours and seasonings. I now eat very little bread, this is a major trigger for me and causes all sorts of gut problems, bloating, gas, constipation etc. I use olive oil and butter as suggested and have increased my fruit intake. I still don't get enough fibre but working on that. If people knew what went into their favourite potato crisp flavours for example they would probably never eat them again!! It does seem impossibly hard to make the changes in the beginning but you have to keep experimenting to see what works for you and dont forget to just have the triggers that you can't give up completely in Moderation it will still help. And lastly the sugar is hidden in so many foods once you realise this you are on your way. Ps I'm no expert and still trying to learn myself, but if i can quit smoking after nearly 40 yrs I can surely adapt my diet (the smoking was way easier than I thought)
@@shapefixer no problem mate, I'm going to check out your hip fix video next. There are times when I feel like a hip replacement is the only way forward, but then when I have a good period it does feel like it can be managed. For me the biggest problem by far is getting a work/life balance, I'm usually too dam tired after work to fit in the exercises that do me good.
Can I eat sweet potatoes? I mean, can't skip bread and rice and not eat sweet potatoes haha. We can't just be eating butter and eggs, carbs are needed.
Carbs are most definitely not needed at all, in fact your body burns fat more cleanly than sugar - but i eat sweet potatoes about once a week because I love them roasted
I actually only use a small amount in coffee. Other than that my only dairy is raw (unprocessed) cheese, and I cook with butter (and olive oil) so very little lactose for me. - Andrew
Hyperthyroidism is an overactive thyroid and can have several causes, so the treatment protocol needs to be appropriate to the underlying issue. Presumably you are working with a medical professional on this but whatever the cause Id say you need to cut down on sweet and starchy food. The joint pain suggest an auto-immune issue. Eating right will help you manage it to a point, but you really need to have all the information you can get on the status of your thyroid. 😢
The detour to healthy omega 3 is fish oil and is completely unnecessary, it is contaminated with heavy metals and microplastics. Fish don't make omega 3, they get it from algae. Organic algae oil solves all problems, including overfishing of the oceans and is good for the climate. Maybe it's a little more expensive, but I don't want to ingest heavy metals.
Yeah that doesn't quite focus for me - if the fish are full of toxins, they've ingested it - and they've been eating the algae - so..... we should eat the same poison they eat? This doesn't work
Sardines have the lowest amount of toxins of any fish, they are the perfect long and short chain fatty acids, high in vitamin D, high in protein. They make you smart and healthy.
I eat extremely healthy, zero sugar (never liked sugary foods!) vegetables, meat and fruit. Alcohol in moderation, one glass of red wine when eating out. Well guess what?

I eat some, but not a lot. Hey nobody's perfect; cutting refined carbs and processed sugars, not smoking, getting exercise, sleeping well... and eating beans, wont kill you!
Poor sleep is inflammatory, yes. More like no change to undo the damage from inflammation. There will always be some inflammation and oxidative stress, etc, but we have to give ourselves the best chance to reduce it down and give ourselves the best chances to outpace their damage
You make it sound like complex sugars are all you need to eat LOL. Actually there are ZERO nutrients in starch! Just inflmammatory sugars that mess with your insulin levels and your hunger hormones. Your body needs proteins and it needs fatty acids (from fats/oils), and then it needs vitamins, minerals and electrolytes. You can get those from green leafy veggies, as well as in your protein source (ie meat, fish, eggs etc) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kSB86hPIZ8w.html
@@shapefixer and you just sayin i need only fats and proteins, besides minerals,. sugar is the real fuel for body , especially if one is going to gym etc. anyways, i have not found a single consensus about anything having to do with what is good to eat and what is not,. for every one claim "this is good and this is not" , one can find video or research claiming the opposite. im gonna check that video. cheers
It depends on where the person is at. It also differs from person to person. There is no one size fits all diet. Honey isn't just sugar, it's far more than that. And it's been consumed by humans since we've been around. Pollen, royal jelly and propolis also carry amazing health benefits. If you are eating honey, eat raw/unpasteurized. And try to get it from somewhere the bees don't come into contact with pesticides. (Bees will fly 5 miles from the hive to pollinate)

Can pet allergy cause inflammation ? My health has gone seriously downhill recently and my partner has a dog which in severly allergic to...she will never get rid of it but could this be the cause of all my health problems ? Someone please help ?
Hi Andrew ? I knew about Lectins in Nightshade vegetables but heard that Tomatoes are OK if the skin and seeds are removed? If true, could this also apply to other Nightshades? Or who would know, please ? My aunt was warned off Carrots and Oranges, (both in relation to Arthritis) but not other Citrus fruits ? She actually gave up her walking stick after the Carrots and Oranges and Tomatoes
@@johnreidy2804 Her GP recommended a hospital group where sufferers came together for a chat and passed on tips considered helpful, I think with input from staff. After implementing them she could walk without the walking stick, and lived to 93 without surgery or a stick, although she did later develop vascular dementia and need care. I had a knee replaced at 60 and am trying desperately to avoid any more.
Carrots, oranges and tomatoes are all high in sugar, but they're not the only ones. I guess giving up some of the bad stuff is always going to beat not giving up any.
The substances in grape seeds that is getting the "press" are proanthocyanadins, which appear to have some anti-inflammatory properties but there are not sufficient controlled, wide studies to conclusively prove anything. However it does seem they are harmless, suggesting it's fine to try and see if one thinks its helping or not.
Low testosterone has definitely been linked to systemic inflammation. Dimishing testosterone with age is a cause of prostate swelling causing the need for multiple toilet trips in the night. This can be addressed very effectively with a daily zinc supplement: about 30mg of chelated zinc per day. I went from peeing 4x per night to sleeping through after four days, and several of my friends and family members have done the same (or just eat more shellfish) - Andrew
Hi Andrew, what can I eat as a vegetarian if I cut out sugar and carbs, I have inflammation in all my joints every day, can't sleep with the throbbing I'm living off Ibrufen ? Please help!
My honest answer is you should consider why you have decided to be a vegetarian. It will be way more difficult for you to cut sugar, and imposible to acquire all the nutrients you need to build new collagen unless you take a lot of supplements.
I have an injured knee that has lots of inflamation, hard to walk. I cut out everything above and still gets inflamed when I walk too much, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Already see a Orthopedic Surgeon, got cortisone which helped but didnt cure it, doing leg strengthening everyday
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6PNBjKJ9hxQ.html Watch this. Cortisone reduces inflammation but its temporary unless you do the exercises necessary to fix the imbalance that caused the original problem.
Interesting I know about the seed oils ugh! but the lectins if you wash your beans, you’re fine no lectins… being a vegan, I refuse to eat any animals I will not participate in animal cruelty so if you have any any tips, please let me know Anyway thank you.
Being a vegan is a choice that I respect but it leaves things a little difficult and you will need to supplement in the long run, particularly the B-complex vitamins as well as iron (there is iron in spinach but it doesn't abrorb as easily as animal-based iron) And yes, lectins are water soluble, and mostly found pon the outside of beans, so soaking them in water, or boiling them, will remove or deactivate them. - Andrew
washing beans doesnt eliminate the lectins - they are in the skin of the bean. The processed food in a vegan diet is the worst food for humans as it is totally unnatural. This is far worse than eating animals which is natural and available for human consumption. Time to get off the high horse of rightousness and accept that you are born and evolved as a carnivor. Just like the lions.
But, well, what is overindulgence in alcohol? Everything in moderation, I always say. If you keep it to about two bottles of vodka a day you should be fine. And not before 10 am.
Excellent question! Nature's purpose with inflammation is (1) to make it hurt so you are aware of an injury and do not make it worse, and (2) to kick-start the healing process. Once healing starts, inflammation lingers to stop you hurting yourself, but it does slow the healing. So in the latest sports medicine, and injury is allowed to inflame for the first 24hrs to get the healing started, then anti-inflammatories are prescribed to facilitate quicker healing, while the injury is immobilised or supported (strapped) to prevent you from messing it up. However, chronic out-of-control systemic inflammation causes huge problems as the body thinks everything is injured when it is not.
Im not giving you "medical advice" you can get that from your doctor. Im a biochemist and a retired school teacher, and this is a science lesson. Youd be better off thinking about the science than worrying about where I choose to sit.
Hi Linda, yeah Stress is a killer, it's so difficult to manage even when we are aware of it, as there are so many mental issues involved, and external circumstances. Often we then eat for comfort, but eat the wrong things which actually make it worse. Its nasty. Cutting sugar is the single biggest thing to try and do.
I dont think that's true at all bud, but I'd appreciate any suggestions to research that shows that link? The thyroid regulates several metabolic functions through regulated hormone production, and also controls the rate at which your body uses energy. The energy released for use in the cells comes from ATP; ATP is manufactured either from the metabolism of sugar (ie carbs), or fatty acids (from fats and oils). Either way, it ends up as ATP so I can't see how that then makes any difference to the thyroid which regulates it after that. Have to say based on my knowledge of metabolism your nclainm sounds wrong, but always happy to learn. Thanks
Lard, tallow, ghee, butter, coconut oil, avocado oil and extra virgin olive oil are some of the best for us. Always try for organic, cold pressed, or pasture raised and grass only.
@@shapefixer IMO Lard (pig fat) is not-so-safe here in US, where pig’s ‘chow’ could be anything , not to mention factory environs and big pharma inputs… Here I believe grassfed beef/sheep fats are safest, along w/ flax-olive oils for low heat. Am still trying to understand finer points of coconut oil, as well as MCT and other exogenous ketone products (video idea??)
Fresh better as they eat algae and will be richer in Omega-3 oils. Farm raised - depends what they eat. If the "farm" is just a closed off section of natural waters, fine; but if they are fed on corn, no Omega-3s. Though an Omega-3 oil supplement is very easy to find (Omega-3 good anti-inflammatory)

Jesus was countermanding the tradition of the Pharisees, who taught that God commanded you to wash dirt off your hands before eating or else it would defile you spiritually. Spiritual standing before God is a different issue than health--God gave meat to mankind, obliterating our health.
Sorry, you lost me when you stated, eat foods with fiber. The human body is unable to digest anything but soluble fiber. I fail to see what benefit it could provide.
@@christophercharles3169 i dont know who that is, but I know people who ascribe to a carnivore diet get no fiber (its from plants) but seem to do fine, so it could be they have different microbes that get food from the animal products the person eats.
Hi, I'm not a doctor, I'm a nutritionist (and a qualified paramedic, and a science and biology teacher). Necrosis is dead bone tissue. You can prevent it from getting worse or spreading by being healthy and eating correctly, but you cannot repair the dead parts of the bone.
Absolutely Michelle, which is why I dont promote "diets" that have fixed rules not taking account of genetics, cost, availability, religious or personal ethical considerations, etc. We need to understand as much of the science as possible, then work it around our circumstances which are individual.

Osteoarhritis is essentially an inflammatory disease. Sciatica is nerve pain, usually because something is trapped or pinched - which can also be caused by inflammation. I am not aware of either of these symptoms affecting testosterone directly. I'm guessing ED and PE are erectile dysfunction and pulmonary embolism? Not caused by arthritis, no - but inflammation generally, of which arthritis is one condition, causes havoc throughout the body. Best to get the inflammation down and be amazed at how many problems clear up. Andrew

@gailm778 Hi Gail, you dont even need my opinion, you just need a basic bit of chemistry here: Sugar is sugar. There are 3 different sugar molecules - glucose, frustose and galactose (the last is not common, so only 2 to bear in mind). "Carbohydrate" is a chemical "family" name for anything built from these basic sugars. (Even "table sugar" - sucrose - is made of glucose and frustose hooked together) So ALL carbohydrates, however they are packaged and marketed as "food", are just chains of these sugars all connected together. That would be sweets, candies, cookies etc as well as ALL starches in bread, pasta, rice, cereals, potatoes, fruit (red or dark berries are OK). It's all a toxic nightmare. So whatever sugar you can get from a coconut is still just sugar. Some carbohydrates are marketed as "healthy" because they contain fibre or some added vitamins or minerals, but that's like adding VitC to a glass of coke and labelling it a health drink. (ps I buy ice-creams for family dinner on a Friday because we love it, and we're human, and healthy eating is a principle not a religion - so we have the occasional cheat to stay sane! - Andrew)
@shapefixer thanks for your long reply...so grateful...about 6 months ago I changed my diet to help reduce inflammation even stopped drinking coffee...but I really thought I was ok with coconut sugar..but I respect your opinion...makes sense..I'll try and wean myself off of it..many thanks Gail 😊
Sugar isn't sugar. A body does not react to honey or coconut sugar like it would to skittles or a can of coke. As a matter of fact, meat even contains sugar. And why, if as he says, "sugar is sugar" are certain berries okay? They contain sugar too. In my opinion the main thing to avoid is seed oils. (Vegetable oils)
@@underwaves75 "sugar is sugar" if you're a biochemist, as sugar is a C6H12O6 molecule . There are three shapes: glucose, fructose and galactose. There is no other sugar. You can combine them to make Lactose (in milk) or Sucrose (table sugar) or starches (chains of glucose) but there are still only the three - and once in your blood, they are all glucose. No mysteries there. But you are right to say coke or skittles might have a different effect - at least, to your perception - but id say try eating as much honey as there is sugar in a bottle of coke, and see how you feel. And if you eat a coconut, you are eating a lot of fiber which slows down the sugar "hit" but its still sugar.
In a reply above you agreed that "all" seed oils are inflammatory, but now Flax SEED is OK? So it's not "100% correct" that all seed oils are inflammatory? It's contradictions and confusion like this that makes RU-vid so troublesome.
Im watching the science come in on fiber, its complicated and still not settled, but its certainly interesting as more poeple make the shift to a more meat-heavy diet and seem to be doing fine - Andew (ps I'm not "carnivore" myself, but neither am I "vegetarian")

The science on nightshades (incl tomatoes) is a little contradictory, as there is some evidence for both, so I cut them out to be sure.

Hi Tony. First thing, its great that you're not eating sugar, as cancer cells LOVE sugar - in huge quantities (oncologists identify potential cancers using a PET scan that shows large concentrations of sugar!). Secondly, the tumour in your gut may be impacting your get microbes, so you need to do what you can to feed them and keep them strong. That means Pre-biotics - food for microbes - the most important being fibre. Healthy microbes also work to keep inflammation down. Pls watch my two videos on microbes to understand the importance: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DpKWoOi3dRw.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zzzzzLBo6p8.html I really hope you can get this sorted Tony - Andrew
@@barbaramcmillan3835 yes, avoid diary products specially milk, cows milk is ment for the calf, avoid sugar, wheat, any kind of bread and cakes, cookies etc. All have added sugar. Every processed food inside packets have, unhealth seed oils, like sunflower, rapeseed, cotton seed etc avoid them. Instead go with, first pressed olive oil, avacado oil or coconut oil. God bless.
@@shapefixer Thanks Andrew, for reverting back to me. I watched the 2 video links you provided. It was worth watching. Ive now started, millets. Thats much better option for fiber intake, than bread, wheat and rice. As you mentioned, ive also started fresh root of turneric and ginger. Raw or may be, had as a tea. Thanks once again and God bless.
