I’ve followed a low oxalate diet for 10 years. I gave them up when the smoothies i was drinking made with spinach gave me such bad vertigo I thought I was having a stroke. I had already given up histamine foods and lectins. With all of those gone I hardly had a single problem. No vertigo, no pressure in my ears, no stuffy nose, no inflamed throat. Life was good! But then I started giving up the rest of the vegetables and save fruit for special occasions. I feel even better! I’ve rarely been able to breathe out of my left nostril - my entire life it’s been stuffed up. But with carnivore, I can breathe out of both nostrils. No mouth breathing! I feel like I’m breathing deeply for the first time! It makes me joyous! Breathing is cool! And I fast 18 hours most days. I feel great. I love not thinking about food all the time. I love not living in recovery from my last meal. Food doesn’t have to destroy us?! Who knew?! I KNOW now.
@@mc-eo1wh here’s what I avoid: nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers), spinach, kale, most fruits except blackberries and blueberries occasionally, cacao, gluten. I eat mostly eggs, butter, beef, some chicken, some fish, water, salt. I still eat some candy now and then. I don’t eat anything in the bean family. I don’t eat grains or pasta. I have zero pain, no headaches, no vertigo, no sinus problems. I feel great nearly every day.
I was also having bouts with vertigo over that past few years. I started carnivore last June and haven't had any vertigo and many other health improvements.
When I stopped listening to others and I started only listening to my gut, all my health problems disappeared. We are far more resilient than we give ourselves credit for when we listen to our own inner voice.
I love how people talk listen to your body none sense. The food is designed by company to eat more and more. So people need listening to these kind a videos and podcasts. Other way is easy to fall in to addiction foods poison.
@@dextermorgan2633 My gut wouldn't be saying that because its truth but if I was emotionally attached to junk food my mind would be giving me all sorts of reasons why I would benefit from eating the junk food.
@@iMacEagle1 There are TED Talks on Gut Instinct and Google have many articles explaining what it means. We are all born with inner intuition (gut instinct) but it gets trained out of us as a small child.
Ex partner suffered for years with chronic abdominal problems. Has several exploritory surgeries and was told that it was all in her mind. Turned out she had an intolerance to salycylate which is found in numerous fruits and vegetables, basically a poison designed to protect them from being eaten....the healthier she thought zhe was eating the worse she became. Cut out all fruit and vegetables and was pain free within a week. As a bonus her tinitus also improved dramatically.
I'm very sensitive to salicylic acid. Aspirin and other NSAIDS sends me straight to hospital so that was always known to me (triggers asthma attack), but other foods that naturally have it (like mustard, allspice, cinnamon, radish, artichoke, and a lot of artificially flavoured foods among others) give me a very hard time too, but it took a while to connect the dots. Feeling much better on a carnivore diet.
Then ur looking in the wrong places. Shawn Baker, Anthony Chaffee, Ken Berry, Georgia Ede are the best. Read the comments there too. Some of them are super fit ppl that are top sportsmen and don't hv supplements either.
Yes and SO tired of hearing about keto and carnivore. Look into Dr Lustig on avoiding fructose and Dr McDougall on The Starch Solution- starches like rice, potatoes, and oats break down into glucose not fructose. Carnivore is just an elimination diet. Also see Nutrition Made Simple on The Mediterranean Diet.
I'm 50 and did Keto about 3 years ago, overloaded on oxalates as you describe above. I ate Keto for about 12 months, by the end of that period, ended up in hospital 3 times with heart arrhythmia's AF and VF. These episodes would last up to an hour, almost died once. Feared to drive as might pass out... for about 6 - 8 months this went on. Took about 12 to 18 months to finally get rid off (including heavy oxalate dumping). Discovered myself that oxalates were a problem. The heart specialist had no idea why I was getting these issues. No one asked about diet, my cardiovascular system was healthy, so no one could figure it out. I thought it was electrical.... turns out Oxalates bind with calcium (an electrolyte) and there's the start of your problems including kidney stones etc. From the 1850s through the early 1900s, oxalate poisoning was well-recognized. Back then, it was referred to as Oxalic Acid Diathesis. The other two contributing factors are Artificial Sugars and Glyphosate. Artificial sugars such as Sucralose destroy your healthy gut bacteria, which leads to numerous issues. Glyphosate present in foods, sprayed at home, sprayed on crops to dry them out before harvest, is known to affect gut health, Sulphation and may produce endogenous Oxalates, plus who knows what else. MY advice is don't do any type of extreme diet, however Healthy Variety is key with a leaning toward Carnivore. I avoid high oxalate foods, a little of medium ones. I now eat Eggs, meat, Sauerkraut, fruit, a little vege/bread/dairy and try to avoid as much processed food as possible.
Jason thank you for your wealth of information. Never did keto, but had kidney stones due to dehydration and mass oxcaltes consumption. Trying to educate myself and leaning more toward what you explained is now your eating lifestyle. Question: although calcium binds to oxcaltes, isn't it because we don't have sufficient amounts of calcium to break down the oxcaltes to dissolve? Thank you
Thats really interesting that you say its been known since 1850's. I often hear about how the industrial revolution was about the destruction of knowledge and reintroduction of controllable knowledgd and tech.
@@MrSilverfish12 Yep, there's all kinds of knowledge in books from the 1800-1850's that are full of useful knowledge. Long term water fasting, Carnivore based diets are 2 of the things you'll find in the literature of the time. Amazing how when the rise of the corporations happened, so did the suppression of knowledge. The worst part of all of this is we already had all of this knowledge, meaning no one should be suffering the side effects that they are. I get angry and motivated whenever I think about that aspect.
Thank you for the info. I suspect I have an oxalate problem. 3 cups of spinach a day. Occasionally a mental shutdown for approx. 10 .minutes. Now going to doctors to diagnose. I mention to doctors about possible oxalate problem. Ignored. Not sure the solution. No more spinach sure. Probably some dumping now. A fuzzy brain now. Get fatigued easy. Any recommendations?
Explains why I’ve been getting so much nerve pain and have a rash that won’t go away. I was eating so Many foods with Oxalates I’m dumping an incredible amount of oxalate. Explains the tiny greasy yellow crystals coming out to the rash pustules. I’ve had so many diagnoses by even Functional Medical Practitioners over the past 14 years. Thank you for so much for so clearly explaining this. I’m carnivore since 9 January and it has not been an easy transition. You are Both very useful and kind legends!
I have been carnivore since July last year. It had not been easy and i didn't understand why it had been difficult. But i persisted and will continue. I appreciate the education oxalates. I believe that is what's been affecting me.
In on my 46 the day and I agree it hasn't been easy cs I did cold turkey and I have IBS and hypo Thyroid issue .I have been getting numbness on left hand more than right and I wake up with heart palpitations, I feel dizzy and weak on and off.
My husband and I started Keto about 4 years ago, as seems to be the norm we dramatically increased nuts, seeds, dark chocolate etc..I made bread out of ground flaxseed, Almond flour, chia seeds and others and added turmeric and black pepper too! We ate loads and loads of salad and cruciferous veggies! I started having bladder issues, went to doctor, had scans etc nothing showing up as being wrong with me. It seemed to come and go at that point, then April last year it became really bad (I was suspecting I now had interstitial cystitis) after research I heard about some sufferers going on a low oxalate diet....anyway I started Carnivore to see if it could help - I have a friend who was carnivore and it helped her. Within a month I felt so much better in lots of ways. I find I have to be on the lion diet to be okay. 9 months later I'm a lot better, still some sensitivity every now and then (probably when I'm oxalate clearing) but I feel so much better most of the time. Carnivore for life for me. Great interview. Also Sally Norton's book Toxic Superfoods is a must - learned so much.
Love Sally Norton! Glad you’re feeling better!!! I went Keto then almost carnivore and had a lot of issues similar to yours so now I’m gradually reducing oxalates to prevent dumping and avoiding Vitamin C until I’m completely off. It really messed me up badly the oxalate dumping: joints, bladder, hair skin - even after several months I was still very sick I had to go off carnivore and vitamin supplement a ton
Same here, I started low carb/sugar in January. Ate a lot of almond butter, nuts, dark chocolate, and broccoli. Two weeks ago, I added some chia seeds and flax seeds into my diet and woke up one day with severe pain I thought might be kidney stones. Went to the doctor and blood work had shown high BUN levels (blood urea nitrogen). My historical BUN levels had been very normal and predictable in previous blood tests. Luckily, all other kidney function labs were very good. And other than the BUN being high, all cholesterol numbers improved markedly as well as liver function compared to my lab history.
@@tomfisher44 yo your BUN levels show whether or not you’re gonna get kidney failure dude! That’s no joke that diet did that to you. Kidneys can heal but they don’t regenerate like the liver you need to get help for that now. I’m not trying to scare you but whoever played that down did you a huge disservice. I know this bc family members have to be on diuretics and we watch those BUN numbers like hawks! And also BNP (not in a kidney panel but can go out of whack if your kidneys get messed up will cause heart failure)
I'm definitely reducing my consumption of oxalates rich foods, hydrating, and watching my BUN levels now. I was in a lot of pain and don't want none of that in the future. My creatinine and gfr were in line with the previous lab tests and in the normal range. And fluid output was normal looking.
Ketos veggies literally made me so constipated, I ended up with double hernia, surgery and painful 6-week recovery. Specifically, 6-10 cups a day of salad - Lettice, tomato, cucumber, onion, olive oil, a little red wine vinegar and a few spices. After surgery, I fasted mostly because I was afraid to go and reinjure myself. Slowly, I began eating meat. But suspected the veggies had made me sick. Sure enough, you know the story. Why I'm mostly carnivore for last couple of years. No major issues.
Fiber locks my ass down! Low fiber foods like tomatoes really gets things moving for me but cause my face and chest to breakout with a rash. Strawberries break me out as well. High fat beef is best for my gut but hard on my wallet!
Oh my gosh, Nitro! Your story is crazy and scary. People need to hear your story! I started out on the RBS OMAD to lose weight and it definitely allowed my to lose 70lbs in 4 months but it came with big side effects like very painful bloating, impacting constipation, gallbladder pain, hair loss, hanging skin, and my binging and carb addiction tendencies became exaggerated. I was stuffed but still starving for nutrients. I’m so grateful I found Dr. Berry talking about the Proper Human Diet and started to cut out the veggies and up the protein and animal fat I couldn’t believe how much better I felt and I could think without the brain fog. I haven’t been constipated or suffered an extreme migraine since I went Carnivore in Aug. 2021
@@lindadelong what is an RBS diet? I am constipated on meat and fat. Fresh fruit diet works for my bowels but not my overall health. > like meat and fat but I bloat and can't poop
A few years ago I started drinking spinach smoothies. After about a week I started getting neck pain and stiffness that got worse every day until I couldn't turn my head without severe pain. I deduced by Googling that it was caused by the oxalates in the spinach. So, I Googled how to reverse it and I read to drink apple cider vinegar. It worked wonderfully and after about a week I was back to normal.
Interesting! I gave up spinach years ago when the spinach smoothies gave me such bad vertigo I thought I was having a stroke. Mostly carnivore now. Love it!!!!!!! I feel good all the time.
I have a history of kidney stones going back 30 years They show up about every 5 years One day I was sitting there and realized they were calcium deposits, right ! Then I thought - what can disolve calcium ? The light came on that apply vinegar would ! When I had in the past had an itchy pee, I knew stones were trying to form From that day, I have taken half a glass of apply vinegar for a couple days and the stones disappeared. Very simple but effective solution to the problem One trick I use to drink this horrible tasting liquid I have figured out is to use a STRAW, that way it never passes by my taste buds and goes straight down my throat.
Our ancestors used to have techniques that they prepared foods with to make them more edible (such as sprouting grains and seeds, culturing/fermentation, also food combining - eat this with this not that, but other techniques as well). The book Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon educates in how to use the forgotten techniques of our ancestors. Also the late Dr. Weston Price (look up his foundation online) studied food preparation from around the world back in the day and demonstrated the superior health of those who used those food preparation techniques. These time-tested techniques remove or transmute anti-nutrients from food and/or make them more digestible bioavailable.
Smart comment Thanks, people like you succeed in using a low dose of the few key plant healer properties like sauerkraut , but with a clean carnivore even the best plants are rarely needed or as helpful as people think, those bacterias are redundant to a meat diet, but a good idea for improper carnivore or keto eaters
@daleval not everyone can be fully carnivore so shut up already. I hated meat all my life and suffer every day making myself eat it because i don't like it. I would kill myself if i were to eat carnivore.
I've been researching vegetables EXTENSIVELY and had a conversation with ChatGPT about fermented vegetables. The problem with fermentation is that it significantly increases histamine. So for me, this is a dead end for me.....somewhat. There ARE low histamine foods you can ferment but it's recommended to do a lactic acid ferment or pickling, also do a "quick" ferment. Also choose low histamine foods to ferment. So far microgreens are turning out to be really low in oxalate, I'm not sure on the histamine of them (still researching). There are also foods you can pair with high histamine foods to buffer the negative effects.
Also, I have to add that when I tried to eat vegetables for months later, it did not go well for me. My joint pain immediately came back that night. I said that’s it no more I cannot do it. Who would have thought vegetables were causing my joint pain. That’s another thing that got better.
I have MS i have been on carnivore on 13 days and my pain hasn’t come back and this has been a god send because I was close to just having bread. I was vegan and had spinach and blueberries smoothies every day for years.
@@johanwarnegard1417 That's not what they're saying. I started eating sweet potato again after many years of not having it, and my body isn't liking it one bit. My upper body is stiff as if I've had a heavy work out, which I haven't. Eliminating the sweet potato and going carnivore to solve this issue of inflammation.
@@johanwarnegard1417 you're kidding right? she for the the NT after HAS lol. How did you surmise when she said 13 days of carnivore . She then said, when she is on carnivore and pain ( hasnt ) come back is what they tried to say because after she said,, Its been a GODSEND. IF she got pain from carnivore she wouldnt say its a godsend. SHE WAS on a vegan diet which caused her issues. smh
When i was in my mid-late 30s, I lived on salads and bread. Then alcohol, and cookies. That said... I was semi-diagnosed with all sorts of things from chronic fatigue, colon cancer to MS but refused any bullshit *mediCO.treatments* because I knew that once I started medicating symptoms, I'd never get to the truth. _( And IMO.... md.s are clowns in white butcher coats. )_ Today, at age 67, surviving from a couple " life threatening " "medical disorders" I take no mediCO. drugs and my doctor fired me from his practice because I am a $$$loss$$$ for him. ( He wasn't interested in how I reversed hyperThyroidism, high blood pressure or BHP with diet and other techniques. ) The standing joke at that mediCO.practice was that they would * _"get me on meds eventually.... just watch!"_* And this is the state of our ridiculously corrupt healthCO. system in america.
❤🙏 Thank you so much! I’ve struggled so much, and was one of the many you tried Carnivore and went from debilitated with muscle and nerve pain to SO MUCH BETTER to absolutely terrible with weird symptoms. Many of the carnivore docs, bless and love them, didn’t talk about Oxalate dumping at all. Super important info ❣️Thank uou
Thank you so much for raising awareness about the dangers of oxalates. Like the other commenter, I also almost killed myself eating what I thought was a superfood based diet. For several years I drank a large green smoothie each day, ate lots of nuts, large salads, etc. In my case, my bladder wall got so thick as a result from this diet that I had to urinate about every 20 minutes, and with great pain each time. What's worse is that my doctors had no idea what was gong on. I went to 10 doctor's who performed all kinds of tests including a CT scan to check for cancer, with no sign of any problems. Six months ago I ran across this information on RU-vid and with nothing to lose, I converted to a mostly carnivore diet. At first my symptoms got worse, which apparently is very common as the body starts to dump oxalates. Then after a few weeks my severe symptoms started to get better. I'm now about 70% back to normal with some minor issues remaining. Apparently it can take up to two years to fully recover from oxalate poisoning. So I'm now concentrating on eating very high quality, organic meats , fish, eggs, and I'm now back to eating vegetables that are low in oxalates.
@atentoasuapalavra4394 I too had done this to myself. moving towards carnivore....had oxalate dumping.....Sally K Norton has lists of food and videos on her website to help all of us being shaken from the beliefs that superfoods are very good for us.....cabbage family veggies are low in oxalates, onions, garlic. It did not take more than a couple of hours to discover which veggies and fruit. a surprise for me was that raspberries are high in oxalates....celery is very high in oxalates....back in the mid 1800's people knew about oxalate poisoning and knew that you could die from it.....we have a lot to unlearn
Dr Anthony Chaffee and Dr Ken Berry say there's no reason to eat veggies period. Red meat, eggs, bacon and butter period salt to taste and drink water like it's going out of style! 😂
@@joydurandYeah, they need to educate themselves further when it comes to oxalates bcs it can actually get INCREDIBLY dangerous when you dump out too many oxalates. Many have ended up in the ER with severe arythmias. (Including myself...) The electrolytes are so off even when taking supplements that it can get really, really dangerous.
I tried to do a carnivore diet and almost died from oxalate dumping. My face broke out with many bumps (I still have scarring from them), and became paralyzed. I had to go to the emergency room and they could not diagnose what was wrong. I had immense chest pain and became immobilized. Please be very careful if you try to dump oxalates. Outside of childbirth this was one of the most excruciating experience in my life.
oxalate dumping its pseudoscience bullshit that does not exist in the medical literature. carnivore can cause countless of side effects because of the diet itself. oxalates are proven to cause either kidney stones or sometimes artrhitis, if you don´t experience any of them. then stop falling in this hypochondriac bullshit from this scammers
I know the pain too and the first time I did not know about dumping oxalates=dangerous. I am teaching myself now the ins and outs of oxalates, everyone should.
Did a blood test determine you had very high level of oxalate in your blood? Or are you speculating, our body is smart and does not tend to dump toxins ,at a hyper rate
@vitalybroshchak4512 doctors only know how to solicit information to deem inflamation and prescribe pharma drugs that do not heal, just relieve symptoms. Your comment is a dumb as a seven yr olds, in an adult conversation.
Think about what you would eat if you were the only one on the planet. What would be available to eat? Natural foods don't have a label - labels on products mean something has been added or something taken away.
No it does not. Stop assuming thing and get medical help. Too many peole suffering from "I watched Dr. Ken Berry" syndrome and trying to attribute any issue with random events. Highly unscientific.
@@dweeder1453 Prove that it's not ' scientific' what does that even mean?? So many people have been carnivore for years with all their auto immune diseases gone. You cannot make assumptions just because you believe everything the medical professional tells you.
@dweeder1453 Medical help? You know the first thing a doctor will put you on is anti depressants. They might do some blood tests, which will come back in the normal range as usual. Other than that what are they going to tell you?
I was eating Almond Butter for a couple years. I passed an extremely painful kidney stone back in early 2021. That led me to start a more carnivore lifestyle.
I discovered almond butter a few months ago and I've been practically living on the stuff, (like three or four jars a week 😲) I'm scared now to eat more, but am scared to stop completely because of the oxalate dumping horror stories I'm reading here. I don't know what to do for the best😮?!??
You asked what type of plants. You would be surprised! I have "The Lost Book of Herbal Rememdies". I just got it as my son gave me it for Christmas. My husband has an oozing skin cancer spot on his back that we are waiting for it to be removed. I looked in the book for skin cancer and what was readily available in winter to me was cabbage! Yes, a cabbage poultice. The oozing area is shrinking. Plant medicine is great and plants have been only medicine to us for a year now. Totally carnivore except for garlic and 100% sea salt.
@@jnova3328 Nicole Apelian, Ph.D and Claude Davis are the authors. "The Lost Book Of Herbal Remedies and a little subtitle on the front that reads "The Healing Power of Plant Medicine". She even gets into how she manages her MS with plant medicine. It is well worth the money. The pictures are great too but I also have "Botany In A Day" for a more detailed description of the plants. Even though the first book gives toxin warnings, I want to make sure I am not pulling up a poison look alike ie hemlock instead of wild carrot type thing.
When my son had issues with peanuts and dairy, and gluten, he ate alot of almond butter and almond milk. And I ate them by the handsfulls. My son started having chronic diahrea. Had to take him off all almond products.
It sounds like his source is Sally K Horton, she has been talking about this for at least 7-8 years. Her book is called "Toxic Superfoods" and I highly recommend it. Sally has carried out some incredible research.
If you hear Elliott's background, he actually came upon oxalate toxicity independent of Sally Norton, whose book, "Toxic Super Foods" was only just published earlier this year. He lauds her research, as she is one of the few nutritionists out there, that are bringing this subject to light.
Her name is Sally K Norton not Owen. She's at least 10 years into the subject matter. It's quite hard to do your own research on it because has Sally says, "there is a lot of misinformation out there." Even the FB low oxalate group have over 30 inaccuracies in their data. @@2108Anna
It's sure what it feels like in the kidneys, ureters, bladder .....shards of glass. All makes sense! Every passing day I'm learning what we're just not learning. And I've been a nurse a long time. And a patient. Excellent information
This is one of the most insidious toxins that these horrible plants do to us. But the main stream are totally silent on this. This is I feel it is state poisoning by neglect. And what makes it worse is that it is so hard to get rid of it. This is a wonderful wonderful video and yet again it shows that all of us on a carnivore journey have taking is the right path.
I can only imagine what will happen when people who are actually adding cricket protein to their foods, will experience when the oxalates catch up with them simultaneously.
@@ThePrimal.Podcast Thank you for this video, i'm on day 17 of carnivore and I'm having some serious diarr. going on the past 5 days! Like literal liquid and I'm getting concerned it's something medical but I did eat alot of high oxalates for 30 YEARS, heavy seed oils in my mayo & salad dressings & dropped gluten/grain carbs. I'm feeling ketofIu as of yesterday too. Maybe this is the dump part? I'm so relieved if that's it.
@@cinystarr4657diarrhea is part of adapting to a carnivore diet. Many people have RU-vid videos on how to start a carnivore diet, or what to expect when starting a carnivore diet.
This interview is now saved to a Carnivorish playlist I made to reference back to ❤️ It helped me understand why after a few weeks on mostly meat the chronic pain flared up! I’ve been in pain for 10 years and was concerned for the future (I’m 45). I had intensely tight muscles from the lower back to my feet. I balked at Keto when I recently researched for an anti inflammatory diet as I’d tried it before - that was when weight loss was my motivation and having been a yo-yo dieter for 20 years it didn’t do my mental health/binge eating/orthorexia disorder any favours. Thanks to that Google search though, the next time I opened RU-vid Laura Spath’s Carnivore journey was on the home page and I’m glad I watched it. Over the last month I’ve naturally transitioned from Ketovore to Carnivore as I’ve learned what doesn’t sit well with my body and what I preferred to cook. Meat is so simple! The first three weeks I would get sick of meat-based eating and now that has gone away, as has most of my back/hip pain. It’s been amazing feeling my muscles soften and relax! My rock-hard backside has a jiggle 😅 And if I deviate from Carnivore? My body shows me pretty quickly what’s what. I’m learning not to beat myself up and chock it down to learning experiences…like the premium chocolates I was given this week…I should have passed it on or thrown it out. They did not taste good and the way my body expels them doesn’t feel good 🤣 The way my body feels and the confidence I’ve gained with this WOE is life changing. Being pain free is now my motivation and the weight loss will be a happy side effect. Thank you for sharing your insight, experience and knowledge with us!

I used to wake up every morning with lots of 'sand' in the bed. About 8-10 months after I found Sally K. Norton's information and began reducing oxalates, I noticed there was less and less 'sand' and grit in the bed. It had to have been oxalates coming out through my skin. My husband had high fever of 104 F. some years ago and his back broke out in small pimple-like dry bumps. As he reduced oxalates, those went away leaving his back almost smooth.
It can also be old pillows breaking down, foam can become crumbly. Dead skin cells or dust mite debris on mattresses/ sheets appears as sand also. It could also be dried debris from parasites leaving/ returning to your body at night while sleeping.
@@maggiedoor6093 I don't use synthetic pillows or bedding. I live in a very dry desert. We don't have parasiites and I exfoliate my skin regularly. I've examined what was in my bed under a microscope. Nothing alive. The 'sand' went away after years of being present. after I greatly reduced oxalate foods.
Most people don’t understand the accumulation of the foods during the day. Yeah, you eat a so-called healthy breakfast of yogurt and nuts and berries. Then you go on to a so-called healthy lunch of a big fat salad with maybe chicken breast and whatever dressing and then you go to dinner and you’re eating a sweet potato or Chicken breast and spinach or broccoli and you’ve just overloaded yourself with oxalates and a low quality protein. The most nutrient dense food on earth is beef. They always point to this. Oh eat chicken breast and broccoli. No no no don’t do that. There are no nutrients that are bioavailable in vegetables they’re all bound up and they can actually bind minerals.

Thankyou for this interview, I am getting diarrhoea three months after starting carnivore and I thought I was harming my body is some way and could not find any information on my symptoms. This interview showed me that I am probably oxalte dumping.
The diarrhea can also be caused by eating too much liquid fat which causes your body to dump its contents. Eating the fats in a more solid state makes them.digest slower which decreases the "dumping" effect of liquid fats. There are videos on this probably on this channel and steak and butter girl channel.
Definitely agree that plants have medicinal effects. However, the quantity ingested for medicinal effects is far lower than what is being consumed as food like spinach.
I followed Dr. Berg last year. Ete all the greens and huge ammounts he talks about. Got so sick that my house doctor couldn't sleep after seeing me. Drove to my house to get me to the hospital right away the next morning. Diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Listening to this I think I was oxilate poisoning.
Dr. Berg covers oxalates if you dive deeper. Huge amounts of anything are not good… just listen to your body, not all the conflicting experts on YT. Wishing you the best of health.
Dr. Berg is a fake doctor and a scientologist. His son has been on a few podcasts talking about it. Berg gets all of his information off of other youtube videos.
For several years now, I have been observing multiple hard nodules of about 5 mm in diameter along the entire tibia on both legs. I painfully tried to crush them with a wooden roller for years without success. It was not difficult to logically understand that it was a blocked lymph nodes. At the beginning of their creation years ago, one of the first ones caused me pain after a long tour. Even then, I lost faith in doctors, so I solved things my own way. I decided to cut it out. It looked like a pearl (that's why I assumed it was a lymph node) and when I cut it open, I discovered something like sand inside. It would not be possible to crush it in millions of years.The first thing that came to my mind was calcium. I didn't know anything about oxalates, so I concluded that I drink too much hard water, and due to my slow metabolism (Hashimoto's), my lymphatic system doesn't work efficiently. Now I know what exactly it is about. I've been experimenting with a "healthy diet" since I was a teenager. Today, I again verified 5 long-known knots on my neck. I've been on the Carnivore diet since January. I only have three of them and they are much less tangible. I am very happy that finally in my 50s I will heal the nodules and lipomas on my legs. Even if it takes years, I feel I'm on the right track.
I also have hard nodules on my legs. In my experience they are called tophi from too much acid in the diet. I too have Lipomas in my case its called Dercums disease.
I passed minor stones about every six months for a period of years. Then in March of 2021 it was really bad and I suffered every time I had to take a piss over a period of three days. Eventually a clot came out so I went to a hospital because I feared bladder infection. I got a CT scan and they said whatever it was had passed. Unfortunately I didn't catch the stone so I wasn't sure it was an calcium oxalate type. So I took a wild guess and eliminated the only high oxalate foods I ate: chocolate/cocoa, almonds, beets, peanuts, kiwifruit, white beans and whole grains. Two years later now and I've had no problems.
If you eat oxalates drink some milk with it. Calcium binds to the oxalates and won’t go through kidneys. But the calcium MUST BE TAKEN SAME TIME AS OXALATES.
I had what was thought a cal oxalate stone about 20 years ago in one of my ureters. I learned ACV and citrus juices helped dissolve stones. I got it to pass dissolved with ACV and lemon juice. Dr was stunned as I was prepped for surgery. Asked me if I was straining my urine. I told him I had seen nothing but had sensed it was gone. Close call. I didn’t know about oxalates then but years later I noticed a back ache and little blood in urine. The red light came on and I found out about oxalates thru SK Norton. Changed my diet about 6 years ago and been good. I found it amazing how the body can clear out some things quickly like using ACV or lemon juice. I’ve done several rounds of oxalate detox in the few years since. Each time I’ve had a dumping after a few weeks using cal citrate, mag and potassium supplements. Read Toxic Superfoods by Norton … it’s amazing. Your body takes a beating for a lifetime with anti nutrients and it takes time to recover. Years unfortunately. I’m still chipping away at this at 70. And yes, milestones (haha) get reached each time. I’m close to carnivore these days. Meats and fish. Few greens… lettuce and cilantro… few berries, green peas, squash, herbs and alliums (onions and garlic) all of which I grow. Life is good with no meds.
Christ was clear. "No man survives just with bread (food)." You need faith, positivity, low stress, meticulous food preparation/ancient techniques style, and to have community support and low environmental toxicity.
I can relate. I’ve been finding it for years - something wrong with everything. My next plan is easily, listen to my own body- we’re all different too. If only we could quit food😆. Cheers. Good luck
Now I can always remember my elders especially nanny saying always cook your veggies and that includes leafy greens. So does cooking your veggies take out the oxalate and that's why you always cook plants, this is a new thing to eat raw food
Yes! Wonderful to hear people laud the 5000-6000 years of direct observation of TCM/Ayurveda without the need to put it down as "primitive". A wonderful discussion and very helpful. I was eating a very "healthy" keto diet and wondering why I had arthritis which herbal treatments could not resolve...oxalates...Thank you for posting this
I'm guessing most people don't have adverse reactions to plants but cutting out high oxalates is a good idea. Too much of anything is always bad. Glad to see a more balanced take on nutrition.
There was a study years back about magnesium and kidney stones. People who had stones regularly who started magnesium supplementation were, if i remember correctly, 90% stopped having them. I passed some but cut out nuts and started magnesium supplements and no more. I believe dehydration from antibiotics was a factor too.
I know that drinking Epsom salts is a huge part of the gallbladder / liver cleanse. My understanding is the mag helps dilate the bile ducts so the trapped stones can exit. Also clears the pathway (digestive system/ colon) for exiting stones to make their way out. I am curious to see some research on malic acid (supposedly softens stones) and water extracted chanca piedra herb, also known as stonebreaker, for helping to dissolve these calcifications. Sally K. Norton has stated in interviews that she hasn’t looked into this.
THIS ...IS...THE ...BEST...INTERVIEW ......about the CARNIVORE DIET ....on RU-vid....actually a senisible/realistic...take on what the diet AND plants can do... NOT just as one sided as the carnivore community is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great topic!! I worked at a health food store years ago. I had sold herbs like for example…..milk thistle for liver cleanse… Burdock root for blood cleaner… cayenne is for circulation, colds n internal bleeding…Perilla leaves is great for removing heat from inside your body… etc…. I kinda agree that herbs have medicinal properties.
Best oxalates explanation for me I have lifelong chronic RA & carnivore diet has helped with the pain & fatigue At least 4 months of fatigue mixed with oxalate dumping at the beginning TU for the info
This is the best commentary on the explanation of oxalate I have ever listened to. In addition a really common sense discussion about usage of plants in our lives. Thank you.
Oxalates? I supliment with potassium citrate, magnesium citrate and vit. B6. (The edit) I should also mention that mold exposures and candida can produce oxalates. Heres another question. When will the FDA approve the probiotic "Oxalobacter"?( it helps dissolve oxalates.)
Some people have been able to get oxalobacter online from other countries. Since it comes from the stomach of sheep, I recently started on sheep milk yogurt. It seems to help, but not sure how much, being that I also started avoiding high oxalate foods.
This will never happen, they want us sick, food and pharma are tied together. Seed oils and olive oils are full of oxalates, soy and products. Mcdnlds and brgrkng and all this crappy chain corporate companies products are extremely full of oxalates. It seems oxalates are much more harmful than we think
good to know - all of it! I have mold toxicity (worked in it, was in my HVAC system at home, and got severe cvd in march 2020, also history of kidney stones currently have large one I am no where near ready to have it surgically removed through the back - way too ptsd right now for how they left me with cvd - refused me basic care when I refused the vent (which is why I'm alive)....I had NO idea mld and candida produce oxalates!!! WOAAAAAH!. The mainstream is SO bad, uneducated, doesn't care, etc. I'm a nurse, and I want my money back from nursing school. This is unreal. Thank you for sharing that. I wonder if using HBOT then for the mold (an ozone and sauna) will also help reduce the oxalates (that are there before I stoped my favorirte good that were good for my metabolic issues....dark chocolate, and nuts.) Wow! I'd not hold my breath re: f d a approving that, if they withheld ivm which is a lifesaver and other meds.... this is scary. Man! Thank you.
I have only very recently started learning about this stuff, but I can think back and remember serious issues that I have had in the past, which were likely caused by oxalates and I had no idea. I had Kidney stones several times. They were too large to pass, at least twice, and had to be removed surgically. They caused pretty severe kidney infections. I had to have two hip replacements, 10 years apart. The last surgery was about 3 years ago, and I also had bursitis at the same time. I suffered with the arthritis for several years before I got the surgery. I have had issues with my thyroid as well. A number of other things could have been caused by oxalates, and I didn't know about it. I wish I had learned about this decades ago. Better late than never, I guess.
I have one of those bodies that takes oxilate and immediately turns it into kidney stones. My story sounds unbelievable, but I've had hundreds of kidney stones and a couple of dozen surgeries. At one point, my left kidney was so full of stones that it almost ruptured and killed me. I'm 13 months on carnivore. I have a long way to go, but I feel great and I'm hopeful that it will give me a long term, surgery free solution!
Very informative. I include sometimes some herbs in my keto diet for detox but I’ll never take green smoothies again. Most animals search some special herbs automatically when they are sick.
Oh wow! I thought I was the only one who noticed that! That green smoothies are not healthy! We been lied to! And I’ll never drink another one again! I don’t know whether it’s just a coincidence or not, but a nerve or muscle problem in my neck started only a few days after first starting the famous 10 day green smoothie cleanse a few years ago. It was scary when all of a sudden I got this intense I don’t know what in the left side of my neck during a moment of holding my head down. But it was at that moment when it started for the first time, while I was doing the 10 day green smoothie cleanse. I lost weight on it just as it promised, but now with a new problem with my neck. And keeping the lost weight off was impossible bcuz I notice more hunger when consuming veggies. I done the cleanse several times, and although I since went keto for a couple of years and then transited to carnivore almost a year ago, and despite all of the improvements in my body with carnivore, that problem with my neck that started on the green smoothy cleanse is still with me now. What’s going on with my neck right now sort of feels like a neck stone.
Same here with the green smoothies, never again! I thought I was going to die after I a big kale smoothie last year - terrible pain and indigestion for days.
Don't think there is an issue with plants as medicine, just many carnivores don't see them as food for the most part. We certainly ate whatever we found edible to survive throughout our history.
If you refer to history and what we ate, eating greens and plants would be probably dead last on the menu of our ancestors going all the way back to when our species entered it's present body structure. Cultivating grains hasn't started until about 12 thousand years ago, and those were only two seed grains, loaded with nutrition. Vegetables as we know them now didn't exist until quite recently, and most certainly, no wide variety of them that we can find in the stores today, and not in the form we buy them. So the logical conclusion would be first hunting for a small game, then with invention of spears and arrows hunting and eating large game or fish. Dr. Cheffey is explaining how eating cultured grain and vegetable diet low on meat affected our strength, decreasing skull, jaw and skeleton size throughout millennias to the point where our femur bones got shorter almost five inches in comparison with skeletons examined in archeological finds. My own logic based on my limited knowledge of our species history tells me that before we started to cultivate crops, we ate meat predominantly, eggs, we drank milk from animals that produced it, and we ate seasonal fruits that were typical for the geographical location we lived in. There are primitive tribes in Amazon Forrest that eat only one kind of fish, they eat it only once a week and they are very healthy. Correct me if I'm wrong but there's literally no old surviving tribe on Earth that feeds itself with food that we eat in modern societies. They survive on meat and fruits mostly, while they use Forrest plants as remedies for injuries, infectious or poisonous bites by different animals. We have their bodies, so we should look at them as an example of what and how to eat. It's actually quite simple
@@mitsanut5869 Younger Dryas cataclysm started the slide. I also believe we are meant to feast and very likely go days before another meal. Losing Mammoths was tough.
I love veggies and herbs. I love animals so much. Im very very sick. 58 years old. I dont eat ANY seafood. I have to do this carnivore diet to see if I have a shot at life. ❤
many people eating lots of greens overdo spinach, kale and chard which are all high oxalate foods, esp with green smoothies resulting in kidney failure from spinach and renal and hepatic calculi. Often people do not vary the types of greens creating their own health crisis. There is a need to learn how to cook greens and reduce oxalates by 50%.
@@cathy2465Right you are. Kale is high in calcium which is bio available because of the low oxalates and has lots of potasium and vitamin K, vitamins C and E, carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene),17 zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. Looks like Kale has it all!
@@user-rb3zh6sz1b There is a new variety of swiss chard called Argentata developed to have little or no oxalates thus improving the taste. It seems safety is in moderation. Have a great day.
@@HammyGirl999 but fortunaley instead of pseudoscience bullshit, we have actual studies of the diets that do promote longevity and guess what. its filled with plants. Oxalate issues are a real thing that some people experience, howrever this scammers will go above and beyond any real science to use this mechanism to cause fear in people so they avoid their food for their own agendas like carnivore. Oxalates can cause kidney stones and might cause artrhitis in excess. oxalate dumping, other issues as well and specially the use of some vague sympthomatology its bullshit without any research behind
Though a difficult topic...had to replay many times... this is something I wanted to hear, the effectiveness of plants as medicine and if they could still be used on a carnivore diet! Wonderful!
It amuses me how often any given food becomes "bad" for us to eat. Eggs are good, eggs are bad, coffee good, coffee bad, all meat diet good, all meat diet bad, vegan this, vegan that, blah blah blah. Just eat food and be thankful you have anything to eat at all. There is no singular diet. We are omnivores. The one diet everyone needs is less bullshit fads from the internet. It tends to be that if you look for the answer you want you will find it or you can ask 10 different experts and get 10 different answers. The reason we are omnivores is because we are not specialists, we are generalists. If you can eat it, then eat it. All foods work together to support the body's ability to digest and help cancel out or remove toxins. That is also why we learned to cook our food because it breaks a lot of things down to be easier to digest and absorb nutrients or remove toxins in the process. I would be more likely to trust a culture in a Blue Zone who has eaten the same diet and experiences longevity than someone from the internet who got their PhD in Internet Advertising Revenue.
What an absolutely fabulous comment ThoughtfulBiped. The most sensible, measured and intelligent comment I have read for a long time. Thank you for bringing me back down to earth. You helped me sigh with relief again.
My Rheumatoid was cured in me by removing Oxalates (I was still eating/drinking, Tea/Peanuts on Carnivore diet)... My thyroid in my right jaw has been angry for 3 years, it also went away. I had rheumatoid so bad i qualified for the subsidized expensive drugs from Pfizer. I think smoking is less harmful than some of the foods we are encouraged to eat!
I didn’t eat seed oils. I used very little avocado oil. I basically went from keto to carnivore overnight. I only got better and better. I already know that she’s makes my asthma worse. I already knew Mexican. Spices were irritating, my colon but I didn’t know it was pepper. I had to discover this on carnivore. It’s the only way. If you don’t illuminate everything and eat the most digestible and nutritious food. You will never know. I watched Dr. Barry go from Quito to carnivore for four years. I didn’t even get it. I wish I would have found it for years ago. I’m coming up on my two-year anniversary. Last year just a few weeks before my year anniversary on carnivore I got my blood work. My triglycerides went down to 90 from 174 my HDL went up to 62.5 from 35. Yes that’s what eating fat . and meat can do for you.
As na herbalist for over 30 years I agree 100% with Elliot on the plant medicine perspective. It is not a perspective, it is fact. I have seen it over and over again. They can be very helpful for people. Dietary changes take a long tome to see real results and herbal (or homeopathic) medicine can be extremely useful in that time it takes to get the body healthier. I have been waiting to see this issue come up in the carnivore community. Something I am deeply passionate about it. This needs way more attention.
This young man is very well spoken and informed. A pleasure listening to him. One question I have with regard to all speakers on this subject... why are phytates, that is to say, phytic acid, never included in the same discussion?
As a teenager many years ago, I had raised lumps on my legs that were red and painful. At that time my sister who had rheumatoid arthritis was under the care of an amazing Naturopath and in those days they were called quacks! This amazing guy told me to have hot baths for 30 mins and then to run freezing cold water into the bath so it was really cold and to do this every day for a week. The result was stinging hot urine and the lumps disappeared and I felt so much better. I think the body in its wisdom if it’s not overburdened with toxins will dump these poisons into the extremities well away from the heart and vital organs as in gout. Much of this man’s knowledge is now mainstream which is great news. Thanks for this video, I had no idea that oxalates were in so many foods other than the obvious ones, time to tweak my diet again.🤗
I think what Elliot points out that he may not be emphasizing enough for those who are looking to validate a diet including veg, is that vegetables of today are NOT the plants our ancestors were consuming medicinally in small doses. It is well documented how the food industry has bred out those qualities in order to get their customers to consume copious amounts. Thus (as he stated) why they contain far more sugars and or dulled down bitter tastes; things that would be natural deterrents to the pallet. Plenty of whistle blowers out of the industry have testified to the fact that their mission was to make foods more addictive whether they were good for us or not in order to sell more product. People should investigate this side of its history. It is wise to remember the old adage that "plants are medicinal, meat is nutritional"!
This makes so much sense to me. I’m so angry with these health gurus that convince people to participate in their programs and join their Facebook groups where people literally shame them into sticking to it, all the while getting worse. One such group is smoothieshred. Thanks for your input.
I gained knowledge but this dude says so many words & I had a hard time (maybe just ME) learning what I “should” & “shouldn’t eat”. You did a great job asking “direct questions”. He doesn’t like to answer “direct answers”.
@@MiChelle888 I think it's obvious that this diet is what helps remove them. Stop ingesting them and they will start dumping. I haven't seen anyone offer any specific remedy to lose them other than maybe some support aids while they're exiting
@@MiChelle888if you don’t want to buy his program all you can do is either don’t eat vegetables or only choose vegetables from the low oxalate list which can be found on the internet.
When I learned about Oxalates from Sally Norton I was shocked that many of them were my favorite foods. After going carnivore I even had sharp crystals coming out of my forehead and my shins. Everything I had learned before was that those oxalate foods were super nutritious!
Forgot to mention… Especially Chinese herbs have excellent properties. I remember I had suggested an herb called Dong Quai to a young female customer cuz she told me that she’s not always regular with her period. After several weeks later , she returned n told me that my suggestion of Dong Quai had worked great for her
Dong quai is Angelica. It was also grown used medicinally in the west going back at least 1,000 years. In fact it is believed to be the first cultivated crop in Northern Europe along with onion.
Thanks for the data. I was having Beet Kvass daily and that gave me a 3mm kidney stone that sent me to the ER-It was so painful! I got rid of the pain and the stone in a day by drinking sugar-free lemon water which reduced the stone to the size of a grain of sand that was easily excreted. I think that every person has its own nutritional needs and we cannot generalize except that we should avoid inflammatory foods like grains, legumes, some nightshades. For regularity I depend on homemade sauerkraut full of probiotics. I’m almost 80, walking a lot and not needing any medication.
Awesome interview! As someone who passed the Keto phase, with less success than I would like. This brought a lot of light on the subject. The almond "stuff". Yeah I was also on that boat... Not good at all. 😞 No wonder carnivore was/is so amazingly effective. To the point that I describe it as a MIRACLE! It was not a mistake with capital letter for sure. ;-)
Wow! 👍🏆That was an eye opener excellent informative video! Knew sorta about oxalates, but not in way described here. That may help explain a sudden aversion I took to spinach (which ate in large weekly quantity as a norm (for health/nutrition) till about 2 or so years ago and haven't wanted fresh (or any) spinach since. Tried to reintroduce and physically seemed like a food you knew you no longer wanted, I mean really didn't want, not just a taste thing, not at all -or ate since past 18 or so months. And as well not purposely but other foods I consumed high in oxalates were not favored along same period and not reintroduced to diet. And this all seemed took place along time health took a severe tumble (aches pains inflammation in joints) And strangely I actually liked it, and greens in general most all my adult life. ...Maybe not the cause too for the aversion, but makes me stick a pin 📌in that to come back too, for further information . To hear/read more on subject. Thank you so much, that was very informative (helpful-valued) puts maybe a face to something that has baffled me, as I did like fresh spinach! And ate it often. And haven't bought any in at least 18 months as I can now recall, but for because of this strange aversion I suddenly had. 🏆👍 P.S [I]am Carnivore as of today 90 days, and as to greens, are no longer an issue. Life is 180° better. 70 years old, went from near bed bound, due to RA mobility pains and aches primarily in joints so spent nearly 20-22 hours of most days last 18-24 months but for a few in bed. To now, totally too much to be believed in 90days, but 100% true. More active that even I can't hardly believe the rebirth of my body, even bought a mountain bike around day 70 still getting my agility and near atrophied muscle to come back on line to riding it more...use to love outdoors and biking and jogging city and in mountains till health just kept taking each away little by little last decade or two. Do yard work now that was a big deal wanted to but couldn't last 12 months, and as well got ideas for living life today...that was not in the scope of my reality 3 months ago. On the square said and meant. Dr Berry, Chaffee, Baker Mason's videos and guests on their channels such as yourself Rina, with you guest Elliot Overton on oxalates, and only because I caught a video interview of you Rina recently that was posted by Dr. Chaffee's channel is what led me for over a 90 day journey to this amazing past 90 days of extreme rebound in my health and mental acuity turning clocks back at least 15 years for me, since beginning with Dr. Berry's 90 Day Keto-Carnivore challenge ...and those not knowing me may find hard to believe my come back...as did my own family doctor of 20 years, but the evidence was me "live". He was astonished! Lost some weight of course, but more than that I was like a live wire of renewed energy and positive uplifting attitude. Love the entire genre of Carnivore related videos. Each one has a nugget in it I mine these days for better healthy well-being and to pass it forward by sharing what I found. I am but a lay person not credentialed but a sure testimonial, it works and not quackery. Love passing on the kudos comments if for no other reason than to show what you all do really does matter! One improved life at a time...90 days ago I was circling the drain waiting for my end to come...NOT TODAY! 🙃🤗 who knew! Or could have guessed?🏆👍
@@versewriter8123 Happy to answer your question and hope I do. And honored that you would ask. I wish I had the magical answers to say this or that is right, or that food is to be cautiously avoided. Rather all I have to offer you is two answers...the short version answer, (which is already growing too long because of wanting to say the right "helpful" thing ) and the much longer wordy version one, (will only give you if requested that you may want to read)... [but]that as well might be helpful in its own way hopefully, but maybe not too...think your better off with this version🙂. Ether way you come out a winner for just merely posing your inquiry question. So all in all, that's a pretty good return.(humor implied). The past 6 weeks, maybe upwards of 8, have not eaten any fruits whatsoever, nor vegetables for maybe 11 weeks now. Only been at this for 98 days now. Still learning as I go. And the benefits in only 98 days have been enormous (for me). Had I not been the person this was happening to I would say the person is exaggerating or trying to sell me something. But wonderful things beyond my thoughts and imagination, that were even still possible for me, that I might ever enjoy again have come out of storage and I am dusting off, and taking advantage of this kinda strange rebirth of sorts. The clock feels like it has been rolled back easily 10-15 years physically, and easily 20+ years on my mental acuity... that is absolutely remarkable and this is only day 98! But to your question. I have discovered many of us (mostly over the 50 year mark and as well some much younger) have various developed in their adult lives health issues. And like a person who suddenly discovers and nailed down they have developed an intolerance or a heightened sensitivity to products containing say gluten, that in years past may have never raised a thought and they did fine eating such foods containing gluten in moderation, but can't any longer without the attached health related consequences that flare up and to bear for several days afterward. And if they did have a reaction in past years at some point in time(s) were unaware what was the source...maybe just chalked it off to Aunt Martha's fresh loaf of homemade bread they were given, or some such scenario. However, I am only recently finding older people are indicating they no longer are able to enjoy various foods that in the past seemed absolutely harmless. Have heard that over the years from older people when I was young expressed to me, back then I ate almost anything and was healthy but now these days I find I too have joined their ranks! And sing like a natural in their choir. But kinda get it today (understand why)....the why part. But here is worth looking into. If you want to know more. Dr. Paul Mason video where he talks about "Lectins", in fruits and vegetables and beans. ...and besides Dr Mason there are a couple...quite a few actually, who are academically trained most highly credentialed and revered by their colleagues, researcher/scientists -and others on that and other Keto-Carnivore subject related genre. Well worth the time to watch the videos as time and mindset allows, many of the videos go back to 2012 or so...some are podcast, some are taken directly at conferences etc. And as well see subjects on "oxalates", which are found in some vegetables in high amounts. But if you watch the videos listen to how they seem to get in our bodies that ultimately do the damage they do over time.that seems to be the key with most of this inflammatory stuff is not so much the day or two afterward effects, but over time how they finally do the kind of damage that makes us so sensitive to the fruit or vegetables at all for indulging in a harmless memory lane nostalgic meal. That may undo more than you realize. Another story. Both these two items (for me) have proven worth their weight in gold to know and understand not to merely identify. By all accounts in past 2-3 years I have apparently crossed over the (invisible) threshold in what my own body will tolerate today and what it is highly sensitive to. Various foods high in oxalates and lectins seemed to be front and center for me personally. I used to eat vegetables and fruits high in both, did so most of my life, in good quality nearly daily and a food choice of low as possible in fats, yet ate copious amount of leaner meats, poultry, fish, and seafood. But it was the vegetables and fruits that were slowly taking me down with the high carbs in my diet, and manufactured oils the body is really not built for. I am surprised not dead at my own hands eating as I have over the last 2 decades. Suspect I may have developed a "leaky-gut" as described, in various videos I have now watched, over the years and it has finally caught up with me. But God as my witness this Carnivore diet I am eatin now and began as Keto-Carnivore 98 days ago has been reversing what I thought was not in the cards for me ever. Diet or no diet. And wasn't looking/shopping for on when stubbled onto this. But if you are looking for better health this is highly recommended you put your all into it. Follow the academics who are of and on the related genre. And be weary and eyes open for those that say you can do it all in moderation...might be some truth to that if your young right up till you get to be about 35-45 years old and slowly the body's workings are getting stressed so regularly in an aging system trying to process out what you may today want to avoid. Hope I was helpful? Sorry for the wordiness. But it is all on the square. Best to you on your own journey. Thanks for asking my input. 👍
I am now 64 and started this woe after just a year has reversed the clock 20 yrs. Reversed t2d, off all meds except hypothyroid which has been drastically reduced. Have zero joint pain and more energy than when in my 40's! Can't believe with amount of butter I eat that I lost 71 lbs to boot!
@@JamesBond-wx3nzi am encouraged to hear that after you went low oxalate your symptoms/or pain at first got worse and then started to get better. I have been doing carnivore for about 3 months and for 2 months my kidney function stayed the same but this last month went down 6 points from GFR of 36 to GFR of 30. At the same time I feel stronger. Muscles in legs are stronger. Can work outside. What I am saying is that I think my body is dumping oxalates but I am also healing. As I continue carnivore my kidneys will start to get better.
Fermented cabbage, root vegetables, such as Kim chi are an example of how humans used them as a digestive, medicinal supplemental health benefit. Following the moderate example of traditional Mediterranean diet or Asian diet, with way less of the bread, lots of variety, seems to work for me. It seemed to work for these populations too, until big harma got in there
Watching now after a 2 day honeymoon phase where i felt like my old self again 20yrs ago, day 4 woke up with eyes so blurry i could barely see, 2 crystals come out of my fingers, stomachs starting to rumble tonight. Happened with carnivore 4 yrs ago but i thought it was all electrolyte and energy related. Nope. This time i swapped daily sweet potatoes, b pepper ect, for squash, red potatoes, ect. Incredibly hopeful i finally figured out whats happening thanks to people like this
Barkeeper's friend is a wonderful cleanser that reakky works and it has been produced for over 100 years. It really works fast, but I never use it without gloves to protect my skin.
This guy is bang on it. Consider this molecular hydrogen is a really good anti oxidant 92 percent of gut bacteria produce molecular hydrogen. I have read up to 10 litres a day. This seems high, but the point is they produce it. I just ate beef for a few weeks and two weeks in, I felt like I had arthritis all over my body. At 70 it would be reasonable to assume I had arthritis. I persevered and the symptoms passed. I now think it was oxylate dumping. Jordan Peterson had a really severe health episode. When asked what caused it he shrugged his shoulders and said who knows. I am convinced he was severe oxylate dumping. Anyway getting back to the hydrogen issue. Gut bacteria like fermentable fibre. This is what I am doing carnivore diet but with added low oxylate fruit and vegetables. My idea is to never get enough carbohydrates to live on therefore I have to burn fat and therefore produce ketones. The Brain likes ketones. A key point is are you farting if not up the veg. One last thing I have ADHD and it seems to not be a problem now. I don't think ADHD is a disability quite the opposite I think the problem is modern diets.
I love listening to elliot. He talks fast but has soooo much information and is passionate and knowledgeable about his subject. Although you may not feel like you gad to interview much, you just need a little trigger with him and off he goes wirh all the info. Its great. Ive listened to him a number of times and this pulled a lot of things together gor me having done both keto, and lost a lot of lovely hair and carnivore and never stopped with the diarrhoea. It comes to mind that old tribes climb mountains for honey once in a while, and heat, ferment, grind, preserve. They soon found out what was and wasnt hood. Whilst we seek optimum health, our body seems to manage well with little bits here and there. Rarely absolutes unless you have to. Its all soooo complicated for an indivudual to learn eg i just read about the difficulties for some where the consumtption of just red meat on the carnivore meant they had an iron problem, albeit maybe genetic. Mind blowing but we try our best as individuals so thank you for the interview. The topic of food and diet has become like religion and politics , if you try and discuss people can be ultr defensive and aggressive so ive learnt not to to answer even the seemingly innocuous question as it may illicit a full on reaction. So it was great to hear a view that was not absolute, black and white, that considered the pros and cons, ie that is what we all need to do x
Some places say cumin is high in oxalates, some places say cumin is low in oxalates. I'm confused on that one. (Edit: this is the best interview/explanation of oxalates I've seen yet. ...Thank you! I'm going thru severe oxalate dumping, and I really need to properly slow it down!)
@@dsmith5600 Ya ironically I just found that out yesterday... me & my husband take turmeric supplement practically daily. It clears up so much of his jointpain & helps him play golf regularly - he could barely even grip the golfclub. We'll probably continue using it since we're so close to 100% on this diet
Many Carnivores still use various herbs and spices for their hormetic effect, including myself. That’s what I love in this community, we each do our individual Proper Human Diet 🥩
I have an attraction to bitter, sour and acidic things outside of my carnivore mainstay. I like the bitter skins of plums, bitter yoghurts, darkest chocolate and apple cider vinegar. I think we nuked the bitter-esque attraction of the palette when we hammered people with sugar.
I have shards ( like glass) come out of my skin. Its cuts when it comes out. Oxylates kidney stones are no joke either , im kicking all veggies out for now or forever😂😊
One thing jumps out to me in listening and reading the great comments is how spoiled we are with the varieties of food and spices etc is available to us. I often think thats also part of the issue that should be considered. A simplier diet that is seasonally based should be considered also.
