All the stuff she says has a lot of oxilate is what I lived on for years. My feet ached, thought it was my shoes, arthritis was whooping my but. Loved almonds and sweet potatoes spinach chocolate. Tea was big . I still eat lots of ginger and garlic. This lady is breaking my heart.
Sally K. Norton saved my life. She vastly improved my quality of life. After years I'm finally 90% healed. The vegus nerve damage may never heal but there's always hope.
@@robertbeckler5058 Same here. I have had no oxalate poisoning symptoms except being unable to sleep. It started when I came into menopause but that is long past & I still can't sleep. When I discovered Sally & she said it helped her sleep, I gave up chocolate, nuts, seeds, spinach, tea, my beloved black pepper, cinnamon, potatoes, curry, etc. Been on this diet about 10 months now & still can't sleep. When I found out it can take up to 10 yrs to get rid of all oxalates, I almost stopped. But I'll keep at it, though at my age I see no hope of any sleep.
I watched this twice and can’t stop crying, I am a 64 year old nurse working full time, I have an autoimmune disorder that the Drs have no idea what to do so I have been online looking for help and answers, I have been eating the typical American diet and recently ( about a month) cut out gluten, sugar, caffeine, dairy ( except for butter and aged cheese) and it helped quite a bit but not 100% I am going to start her recommendations immediately, I have recently subscribed to your channel, Thank you for what you are doing and Thank you for having this brilliant woman on with you today I know the information is going to change my life, God bless both of you ❤️
@@blw4089 thank you. I feel better if I stick to quality meat. If I eat meat from Costco I feel perfect. If I eat meat from a normal grocery store I get diarrhea within 30 minutes. I wish I could eat supermarket meat. Costco is out of my way.
You wont regret it. I am 52, diagnosed 3 years ago with fibromyalgia and gastroparesis. I was in pain every day and so stiff, horrible gut issues etc etc. Literally thought I was a goner. Went almost vegan. Big mistake. Now eat carnivore, mega dose Vit B1 (see Elliot Overton for this and do it right!) - within DAYS I started to feel better and have been told by rheumatologist that I have put all my ailments into remission. Lost some weight over last 6 months and am keeping at it, adding in yoga and weight lifting. Two years ago I was bedridden and couldn't focus my mind. Good luck my friend, you found the right place to get well. Xx
62 year old nurse here. My body is beat-up from tough physical work all these years. A number of overuse injuries and a few traumatic injures. I've actually lost a lot of faith in the medical community to be honest.
Sally is right! I’ve been On a Keto diet for 5 years and it really changed my life! However, I went carnivore 3 years ago and feel so much better. Thanks Shawn Baker, Sally and Ken Berry; 76 and no meds🙏
I watch all of those guys and follow keto but I tried carnivore and it’s so hard. Any tips, recommendations? Every time I try I crave vegetables and it’s not like I am eating starch but cucumbers and tomatoes. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you
I'm 74. Been keto and carnivore for 5 years. Take no meds. Walk 1 to 2miles a day( weather permitting ) Went from 162 llbs to 125. Feel great. Will never do any other way of eating.
@@skatinka5788 this is take it or leave it advise, but I would say if it's just those few vegetables that are your favorite just eat them 😊 I've been following low carb down under and dr ken berry for a year now. Been carnivore for 6 months. I added in avocado, occasional broccoli, and berries 2 months after I started. Still getting the same results 😁 like you said no starch so your good 👍 good luck on your journey
This video was so educational , I ate WRONG all my life , & paid the price. Psoriatic arthritis is all but gone. Skin issues are gone- no more itching. I dont know who said this but " There are No Cave Paintings of Giant Salads !!"
I’m 57 too & have been carnivore 123 days after years of vegan/vegetarian/high oxalates to help with my dx of MS. I haven’t felt as good as I do on carnivore for decades! I am aging backwards now! Thank you 😊💜
That is wonderful!!!! We need to spread this information far and wide. Who cares if they think we are crazy!!! Now everyone will be warned and told what to do and what never to do! We live in the most exciting time in history!!!
Yep agreed, I’m 55 and 2 years off all medication connected to my MS which I put down to clean keto then carnivore diet. Always learning, also very pissed off the same as Sally with what we are taught regarding nutrition as we grow up and in adulthood, and the medical profession pushing us to take toxic pills that ruin our body systems, especially the gut.
How about all those that failed miserably on the diet? You guys present only one side and also don't mention for how long were you healthy afterwards..most people after 2-3 years begin having issues and imbalances
It’s probably because they insist on going too far into another xtreme without listening to their bodies which should be the NO 1 lesson we all learn from this mess
70 year old male here. Ate mostly organic foods since age of 17 and what I considered a very balanced diet. Switched to Keto at age 68 and had great results, however I had plenty of aches and pains that were increasing with age and I thought it was just unavoidable aging process. Then recently switched to Carnivore 3 weeks ago. After just 10 days all the aches and pains in my body disappeared. Improvements in skin, mental focus and more. I am amazed how good I feel and how much energy I have. I have barely started carnivore and I am excited to think about more health improvements that might be possible. I am now soaking up this useful information presented here. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
@@garychristopher5480 I do yes. Bacon and eggs for breakfast, and I like to cook the eggs in butter. Then beef for dinner, usually adding butter somewhere in the cooking process. I'm just two months into carnivore but I am impressed with health improvements so far. My brain stills has a hard time coming to grips with the fact that I might have been wrong all along about diet for so many years. Seems like carnivore is a great reset.
keto blah blah blah i switched to carnivore and blah blah blah ....trendy ass people wait for it !!!! u eating red meat as main source at the age of 70's lol
How are you feeling ? Did you make it on the diet ? It’s hard but I’m starting now AGAIN…. Failed 3 times already , this time I’m not giving in , FFFFF living in pain , I’m over it
@@stoner2055 so I'm doing more keto. Fish, dairy and cruciferous veggies plus blueberries. Still in pain but it is getting better. I read about lectins and oxalates I really think that was my problem. It's been hell but I see hope. ❤️
Congratulations! I am 65 take nothing over or behind the counter, when I was 15 I read in Prevention Magazine that over the counter medication blocks our brain from sending a signal to heal the area and causes chronic pain, Big Pharma bought Prevention Magazine of course. Unfortunately I have Oxalate poisoning the carnivore way of eating has lowered my blood pressure, Redmond’s Real Salt has been a big help for me, it is 22% sodium the rest is minerals. I craved liver pate and ate it all in two days, now I don’t like the taste, our bodies are very clear on what they need. There are so many levels of healing, it is an amazing journey and wonderful community supporting one another. Sally K Norton is making a huge difference giving us the understanding and symptoms of oxalate poisoning. ❤
Wow. Life changing. Since I stopped forcing myself to eat salads 5 mos ago to counter balance the “bad meats” I was eating my digestion is sooo much better. Oxalates are real. I’m 90% meat based now.
Same here. Once I cut my veggies out by about 50-60%, my digestion and mental health improved drastically! My weight suffered, but, the trade off is worth it! I am hoping that it will level out, it’s been about 9 mos so far for me.
Same here Jill! Those "healthy" salad on keto were harming me for 3+ years! Bloating and weight gain! No more for me. Carni for a week now and sooo many things have changed for the better already!
Holy crap Sally! You are 58? Is that what you said? You look phenomenal! I’ve been carnivore for almost two years now and you give me hope I will look as young as you at 58. Go girl!❤️👍
As a child I HATED spinach! (more than most kids) and my mom would fight with me about eating it! I was a "fussy eater" but would always eat steak and eggs and chicken. Later in life I found I was extremely oxalate sensitive, after eating tons of greens and almond products on the Paleo diet, and suffering from kidney stones, arthritis etc. I think kids instinctively know what they need /don't need , at least before they become addicted to sugar. Going in a more carnivore/keto direction now!
I was eating SO MANY almonds! And, pumpkin seeds and so little meat protein every day. It is no wonder I had so much of what I would describe as chronic pain!
Pumpkin and sunflower seeds are fine… these contain very low levels of oxalate, and high levels of tryptophan (mood lifting). It is true that almonds, strawberries and spinach contain high levels of oxalate.
I think Sally answers her own question in her website; where she mentions that the oxalates are made within the body as a waste product with no known function. But she mentions earlier on that oxalates bind to other things like heavy metals or excess calcium and puts it through the kidneys (and other tissues when its overwhelming). Kidneys are one of the ways in which blood is purified and detoxified. That's your answer, it's the body's natural detox pathway. BUT it is broken with oxalate overload. If we weren't oxalate toxic, the oxalates would carry out other toxins properly. So the take away is that oxalates are not demons, they are beneficial in moderation, but cause problems when there is an excessive amount.
just because we produce them endogenously, does not make it beneficial to eat them? especially knowing it's only produced as a waste product...would you drink ammonia or urea? 😅
@@ascendtoaestheticsI get your point. But maybe it's a bit more complicated than that. First, the definition of waste ought to be recognized as more of an excess resource (albeit however useless, but maybe further studies will enlighten us) than a form of garbage or poison. The problem with too much oxalate pressure is the absorption rate not the mere presence. The body is resilient and has developed ways not to absorb excess oxalates. Just because it harms a dysfunctional gut doesn't mean it will harm a healthy gut, so that doesn't mean oxalates are entirely bad, perhaps they have a purpose. As for the beneficial aspect, that was mainly an exercise in thought. As always, needs more study. Unrelated other interesting waste facts: we need a healthy level of Carbon dioxide in our blood to trigger natural breathing even though we exhale CO2 as a waste **product** - that waste is now a resource for plants. Also, people are improving their health with fecal transplants.
Interesting. I had a similar thought except mine was more along the lines of us not producing oxalates but detoxing it if we have it in abundance. I think your comment is interesting. That would be great if it were true, which seems possible...
It is soooo great to see a woman who appears to be 40+. As a woman in her mid-40s, it’s hard to believe this info can help me when it’s coming almost solely from young, thin women, many who haven’t experienced marked weight issues; or men, particularly super buff athletes. I must thank SBG too for featuring women and women over 40 in your channel!
It's only been 2 days since going omad and carni. I'm working on my 2nd carni Meal and still feel full from me first one , im intermittent fasting for 18 hours and I do NOT crave sugar anymore, i used to crave sugar and be obsessed all day, everyday. . Wow. That in itself is a miracle.
Here’s what I’ve learned along my journey as I’ve aged. I’ve made it my mission to sift out the truth from BS. In one week on carnivore most sign’s of inflammation have vanished. And I feel Good on my way to great. I AM so grateful to hear your testimony my depression has all but gone. Workout today Ketones kicking in. Bad gut bacteria gone and lower track super duper. Love you 2
After the flood God gave us animals for food. Genesis9:3. I love that the cows eat the green& I enjoy the cream! God's Word is TRUTH John 14:6! Going God's way has increased my life on the planet Psalms 103:5 and definitely made me more beautiful!!!
@@hiimauntjonithebodyinsider9452 I know yours is an old comment but here goes anyway. I'm no Bible expert but didn't all heck break loose after Eve ate the apple? Maybe that was a big clue to stay away from the plants.
This is unbelievable. It’s taken a bit for my brain to really listen to these kinds of things but I have been receiving it and have gone carnivore as of late. Keto was what I have done for a few years. I have alot of pain in my head with constant migraines and have nerve issues and have been almost bed ridden for 1.5 yrs. I haven’t been able to work very much. Glad that the Lord has been leading me to carnivore. ❤️
I am amazed. Really, I never really paid attention to this but it all makes sense. I feel great eating bananas for a while but then I get skin issues and 'pimples' and never could handle greens...made nice visits to the bathroom after a salad meal. Tried almost every plant based diet out there with one horrible experience: could not think straight. Memory loss, HAIR loss, brain fog...wow, so tt is the greens, right!? Well, before I saw this, I was already back to animal foods. Finally feel satiated, no weird energy rushes with crashes, no mor feeling eerie, just grounded, balanced and happy. No more guilt. No more food anxiety - life is good!!😁
Sally knows what she is talking about. My first bout with nephritis was spending my 4th birthday in hospital. Was raised with mostly vegetables from my family garden because we were poor & meat was expensive. Ate wheat and grains everyday of my life as a child. Was in hospital 3 times by age 11 because of infections. Kidney stones out the wazoo in my family.
I had nephritis at age 10. My family “believed” in vegetables. I’ve had arthritis diagnosed at age 19. The list goes on and on over the decades. Carnivore is first time I feel good.
Thank you for this! As a past vegan for years then a pescatarian to now eating my first meal of beef liver tonight! I was also pushed by the deterioration of my health to finally face my diet choices that clearly wasn’t working. Finally learned to listen to the wisdom of my body over all else!
What do you have to say to a new Vegan (less than 2 years) who isn't worried about the health damage and merely wants to save the animals, even if health is sacrificed?
I’ve had inflammation in my shoulders and knees for over 20 years. I started carnivore 3 days ago, because there’s no sign of problems (MRI and scope), but I’m still always in pain. I’m hoping that I have the same experience as the guest, because I’ve had pain even after surgery that never went away. I’m hoping this will change my life.
3 days is nothing. It is miraculous but give it a bit of time. You can do your first assessment after maybe 4 weekes and then go on from there. Don’t think about it all the time and not that slowly it will become easy and you will be shocked as most of your issues will have improved sommuch by then! 💪💪💪
It was actually the green smoothies that was my tipping point... that made it obvious to me that many parts of my body were inflamed. The (at the time) newest and greatest way of being healthy ended up being the trigger to educate myself way beyond the Standard American Diet (SAD) bovine poop. After 60-plus years of taking in "their" lies I found that I needed to keep educating myself daily anew to counter the effects of the previous indoctrinating.
Addendum (a comment to my daughter): Well, beyond the current and future benefits of the information in the video that I shared with you yesterday, I am pretty sure the "snowing" effect happened to me as I got deeper into Low Carb High Fat (LCHF)... well, now being Carnivore(ish), that being nearly total zero plants of any kind and form in the nutritional diet. It baffled me to no end where all the white powder was coming from in the apartments and then this house. It was eventually everywhere, but it was mostly in my bedroom environment. And it was heavy to the point of constantly having to vacuum or dust it up off the floor and everything else. So, a couple years of that seemed to be all that my body needed for the "snow" has disappeared. Very interesting how the body works... in this weird way also.
Rhonda Patrick talking about why she eliminated swiss chard from her green smoothie recipe has been the entry to the oxolate rabbit hole for me. Felt sooooo bad after consuming it, really creepy. After removing spinach and chard I could enjoy the smoothies. Still not sure if there IS any value in it?!?
None of my friends believe me whenever I tell them my knee hurts after eating sweet potatoes or certain healthy grains or vegetables. Buckwheat is evil but everyone is so keen to push it to me as a healthy food. I have stopped explaining myself and just politely decline whenever I can. Sometimes I just bite the bullet with a smile whenever it’s an occasion that I will come across as rude if I decline.
Bella please have a discussion for women in their 20's/30's that are vegetarian/vegan and are pregnant or trying to get pregnant and the effects on a growing fetus if these girls happen to get pregnant. I am trying to talk to my son's girlfriend about this subject and I'd like to explain in a all encompassing way why she should consider at least eatting some eggs and salmon. Her feeling is she doesn't want to hurt the animals. She's 25. Thank you!XO
Check out Kelly Hogan from My Zero Carb Life. She went CV before having children, and now has 3. She is also an elementary teacher. Her children are super healthy and smart, smart, smart. You can't help but notice that. She has a couple videos with them. I can definitely tell you that gluten can very much hinder a woman even getting pregnant. I have ran into a few who once going gluten-free got pregnant within two months, after nothing else working. Dr. Tom O'Bryan tells a great story about he and his wife...then went on to do The Gluten Summit many years sgo.
I've listened to Kelly a bunch too. She's great but it's not just going gluten free. I think animal protein builds the healthiest baby and I'm looking for science that support this. Thanks
Dr Kiltz it’s a great resource for this. He has a channel and has been interviewed by many of the other doctors out there. He is a fertility specialist and carnivore doctor. To be honest, I don’t understand a lot of what he is talking about, but it could be helpful for you to learn and share the information.
Thank you for this interview. I absolutely love Sally Norton. I was introduced to Carnivore in a women's group Dr. Stephanie Rimka still runs today. Although an Integrative Health Coach, I am always learning...and wow, did this way of eating ever change my life. I had been Paleo for 18yrs, after finding son#2 was Celiac. But, after being introduced to Sally Norton and oxalates, within two days of ditching the greens in my morning protein blender shakes I had been drinking for a decade, the bloatedness disappeared. I binge watched every interview I could find with Sally Norton the summer of 2019. Now 2 1/2 yrs later, at 67, I would never ever go back to all those high oxalate foods I thought were so healthy. Absolutely life changing. The best thing anyone could do to promote youthful, healthy aging. :)
This has been one of the most helpful videos I've found, I'm definitely going to be making changes in my kid's diets. They aren't ready for 100% carnivore, I'm only on day 17 headfirst from a SAD diet and looking for answers for my recent increase in pain, restlessness, headaches, etc. Can't wait to get it all cleaned out of my system!
This makes so much sense. I prepped for a bodybuilding show back in 2013 and my diet consisted of a decent amount of sweet potatoes and almonds every day! About 2 months into prep, I was getting extreme stomach cramps that would have me on the floor for hours. I thought it was the protein powders I was using, but with my shake, my almonds were always on the side of that meal.
@@SteakandButterGal All nuts need to be soaked 8 hours in salt water neutralize the enzyme barrier. Then I dehydrate & make crispy. I learn much soaking to make assimilate & digestable many foods in Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon
the more I learn, the more I feel I have been unplugged from the matrix. I had been living in a simulation of "healthy eating", by eating plants, seeds...etc.
I was on methotrexate for my RA and could not taper off without pain in my hands and wrists. 30 days of carnivore, no plant foods and I tapered off in 2 weeks with no pain. A week later I had a small kale salad the next day had pain in my hands! Carnivore for another week, then a small kale salad and the pain returned the next day. I'm now 3 years 90% carnivore and am doing well. I've shared Sally Norton's articles in my Keto group before and will share this video, thank you both.
@@cammieklund I'm not too concerned as I don't eat that much plant food so whatever it is doesn't amount to much, but it's typical Keto foods, however, I do find that if I eat too many nuts my hands begin to ache.
@@richardmathews8250 Yeah, probably the oxalates then. I seem to need some amount of carbs so I eat some selected fruits and "veggies" (mostly cucumber, onions and garlic in that case). I recently came off a year on super high oxalate, the Medical Medium diet, and I have probably cut back way too fast, but I just can't bring myself to taper off spinach, celeryjuice, sweet potatoes and potatoes and so on. I just had to stop. I have developed "knots" on my finger joints during that year...😫 My digestion is trashed. I still keep some oxalate rich foods, like a little bit of cacao and orange/clementine juice just to not go into extreme dumping. But I might have gone to low too fast anyways...So much symptoms...🤪
I get kidney stones. Almost died after having one blasted and removed through my back six years ago. (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy). It was the size of a small chicken egg. I had every complication in the book. Right chest full of blood and fluid. Collapsed lung. Had to have a blood transfusion. I was Septic. I lost 30lbs in 12 days. My kidney had an abcess and is now 27% smaller than it was pre surgery because it atrophied. Now I’m trying hard to go completely carnivore to avoid ever needing that surgery again.
Just want to thank everyone here as finding this channel and reading and following this community has hugesly impacted my current weight loss journey. Such amazing success so far following the advice i learnt here. Thus far i have lost 51kg (112 pounds) in almost 6 months!! Still going strong and so easy so far
@Sandy Shines Thankyou :) In a nutshell, i limit myself to about 50g of carbs per day (most days its about 30g), majority of that is used up with full cream milk and dark choclate as my dessert but nothing specifically sweet or sugary (had a few cheat days like xmas). BUt day to day mainly consists of rump steaks for dinner, as much as i can eat or i add bacon and cheese to fill me up if its a smaller piece, then through the day i have 2 small tins of salmon or some cooked up meat mince (pork, veil, chicken, lamb, beef). 2 meals a day, super simple, I throw in pork and lamb and chicken some nights when i get sick of the rump aswell :)
I always love hearing from Sally Norton. She has taught me the low oxalate way and at 61, I feel great! I said goodbye to chocolate, peanut butter, nuts, spinach and grains. Carnivore with eggs and dairy for me! I’m thankful to Sally and you too, Bella. Great interview!
My husband and I started carnivore 5 weeks ago, he sent me this video because I have microscopic fiberglass like fibers coming out of my skin. Wow thank you
Fascinating. I'm carnivore now for a week and ordered my first electrolytes because the leg cramps are waking me up at night. But I'm forging through. I dropped a kidney stone a few years ago and that's how I discovered oxalate poisoning. I did keto for years and lived on spinach, almond flour and almond milk, etc. Now, I have back and body aches. I'm not going to give up and will suffer through the reappearance of hot flashes, leg cramps, etc. The weird thing is my stools are healthier than ever, and my strength training loves the higher protein and fats. Also, my appetite is so low. I usually am dreaming about my next meal soon after the last. I forget to eat and have done OMAD on accident. I have not been a drinker, smoker, or sugar addict ever in my life, so watching this about oxalate poisoning explains a lot. Thx so much for this!♥️👍
At 53, years of issues and now having an autoimmune disease, I am 10 days in, but noticed a difference and felt great from day 2. I am not finding this hard to do. Now 2024, still following Sally, and I recently passed oxylate crystals from my eyes.
I’ve just started this video and I’m 100 percent attentive. Thank You Guys!!! My problem is the evangelical way I share my experience, nobody wants to hear it. I’m healing. 1.5 years in!!!!!
Thank you for this video. I needed to hear this. I was also a vegetarian and my health suffered with brain fog, lethargy, skin issues like eczema and dry skin, and IBS. Then my friend convinced me to start eating meat and I reluctantly tried it. When doing so my energy and focus levels improved and my eczema is almost non existent and bowel inflammation stopped. It is sad that we have to go through so much pain and suffering before getting the right advice.
I had shards coming out of my big toe, heel and the top of my shoulder! Bizarre! Didn't know it was oxalate crystals at the time and of course the doc had no idea.
Gauss meter--measures the electromagnetic field in your environment--home, office and travel. Can be purchased online. Mine was about $40 a few years ago. You will learn that the EMFs from the microwave can pass through the human body--just have someone stand behind you with the meter as you face the operating microwave. Another sad fact is that most people will keep their spices and oils next to the microwave--EMFs pass through the cabinetry (even oak) and destroy the vitality of foods. Electric blankets are another serious culprit. Check electric razors, too! The cockpit of airplanes are wrapped to protect the pilots; but the stewards/stewardesses have a short life span often caused by EMF-induced cancers. Make sure that where you sit in an office doesn't place your brain and spine close to a wall filled with wires carrying a high EMF. As you test your environment, remember that wool greatly reduces EMF toxin. Those with extreme sensitivities will place wool fabric over electrical plates. Best to you and yours!

Bella... Thank you for this amazing video interview. I learned a lot and it really inspired me to keep my focus on Carnivore for my own health. At age 76, I have done seven years without eating any red meat at all, several years of being vegan and nearly three years of daily juicing ... I must have had a ton of vegetables and fruits and so much work to do all that juicing... yet at the end of it all I was sicker than ever in my life... I did a 21 day water fast and then I discovered Kelly Hogan and Amber O'Hearn and started to eat mostly animal products... it has been three years now but I never managed to go 100% Carnivore... it was always about 95% and then a few carbs sprinkled in... I have a disintegrated basal joint that is swollen and painful all the time... so I am determined to get to that 100% Carnivore and so your videos are really helping me so much...
@@foxywhitetip7387 The reason is because nothing else has worked for me to feel no pain and to feel energy. I must tell you it is working... I am losing weight and feeling better and better... and if you are not into extreme why would you watch Bella?
@@foxywhitetip7387 Absolutely, and every person has a unique individual body and what works for one may not work for another... Just eat what makes you feel the best.
Sally is amazing, thank you so much!! Love that she talks about making mealtimes an "experience," serving high quality food on nice plates and such, I do that as well! I use my acacia plates and my favorite fork w/ cherry blossom design on it, and drinking from nice glassware (or my favorite mugs) is so important to me. My family thinks I'm crazy lol. But not only are you satisfying your hunger, you're satisfying your other senses as well. And it gives meals sort of a "ritual" feeling, like it's a sacred time of the day to nourish yourself & be grateful. (Also.. Didn't know Raynaud's syndrome could be related to oxalate toxicity, over the past few years I've been experiencing that in my hands from time to time)
Great insight on oxelites! I put a drop of almond extract in my egg pudding then 2 minutes later she said don't use anything with almonds! I haven't used it in 2 years and I was trying to use it up. Funny timing!
I found out about oxalates the hard way… I never thought there was such a thing as too many greens and I was drinking smoothies every day with kale in them and about three weeks into it my vulva started really hurting… And I could not figure out why… And then two months of agony and I decided to look up reasons for this on the Internet and sure enough it was the first time I was introduced to oxalates… You gotta respect mother nature!
Plants don't want to be eaten... Many people don't realize this. Also, sweet potatoes are loaded with sugar, and so are the beets. Being a T1 Diabetic, I learned that the natural sugar is still sugar, and will also destroy the body. I had to also learn the hard way too! My Ha1C is now 4.9, and have been. diabetic my entire life. The food, and health industry is not on board with a Keto/ Carnivore diet.
Omg my shoulders have really been hurting and my feet. Sweet potatoes and beets!!! I had been eating these. Got a kidney infection!! Been carnivore 4 days. Starting to feel better. Feet aren't hurting. Shoulders are getting better. I feel stronger. I think I was losing muscle. I tried carnivore 2 times before and got constipation. Didn't know I needed more fat!! 🎉
I'd like to start by saying thank you very much. You made a video about common problems when switching to carnivore diet when I was considering it, oxalate one really made me look into THAT one. Ever since I learned about oxalates I switched to carnivore immediately. I have arthritis, or so they say, but I think it's oxalates at the heart of it. I did eat several bad offenders before (almond, spinach mostly, but with peanuts and chocolate as well). I was really looking for a diet that would help with arthritis symptoms since I realized a while ago that doctors don't really know what really causes arthritis and inflammation so I should do my best to look for resources for what I could find to help me myself. And of course I hated the thought of eating several pills every day and putting extra pressure on my liver for all eternity so when doctor wanted me to add another pill with severe possible side-effects, I rather doubled down on my effort for looking different way. Here I am, two weeks into carnivore and definitely I have somewhat muddy urine, symptoms otherwise are mostly same as ever, some parts of me feel better but few feels quite bad. But at this point this will take time anyway, I am just lucky I was always eating everything and did not mostly like vegetables much, but these few years I had eaten a lot of keto-bread with almond and spinach (sigh) to offend my body. Time will tell how things go, I'll stay on pure carnivore diet unless I start to feel too bad. If that happens I have a bit of dark chocolate to smooth things over. And not giving up black pepper just quite yet... :) EDIT: A fix in the timeline of things.
Wow. I used to eat a lot of peanut butter and one day I just suddenly couldn’t anymore. And then I noticed around the same time that almonds give me the same reaction, kind of a stuffy feeling in my stomach and mild nausea, constipation. For some reason I specifically also got the ick for cashews. Makes me wonder...
Great information! I had never even heard of oxalates until recently. I have been carnivore for about six weeks and am experiencing the oxalates dumping phenomena via a rash and through my eyes. Sally is awesome!
I am so glad I'm hearing this about the guy who went carnivore and got sick. The same thing happened to me but, I was on carnivore for almost two years when it struck me. I have the same symptoms you talk about I can hardly walk and have severe pain all over my body and doctors don't have a clue what is wrong with me. Just recently I was diagnosed with a kidney stone and for about three weeks now I am trying to control this.
Wow! This is the best program I have seen so far on explaining what is happening to my body! I have suffered with gout for years, now I know. Thank you so very much. ❤
Wow - this discussion is a super class on this subject of oxalate crystals !! My sister has just gone through a similar experience over the past years. She’s lived a very health food-alt-vegetarian focused lifestyle thinking of course that she was doing the right thing and suddenly out of nowhere had a very painful kidney stones at the young age of 32 = sure enough she’s been super heavy on things such as spinach . Luckily shes been able to figure it out now before before its too late :). For this whole carnivore movement Id recommend people remain aware that the benefit of incorporating “some” fresh veggies is that they have tons of living enzymes which aid in digestion and breakdown of fats and dense proteins which aid in effecient delivery and usage of nutrients . Learning to ask and listen to the body is an amazing tool if one can develope the patience -tough though in these modern times where TIME BASED PRESSURE AND STRESS PLAY A HUGE ROLE in alot of the maladies suffered by the modern citizen -GREAT EPISODE !!
Thank you, Thank you! I have adored Sally Norton for such a long time. Bella, you have been a bright energetic force and one of the factions in keeping me a happy 95% carnivore.
I agree wholeheartedly. I love the spirit of what you express (!), and your meaning is quite clear. However, I think your post has a "typo" (typographical error) in it. You undoubtedly meant: "factors". || "factions" has quite a different meaning, and is even mentioned in the Bible as an undesirable thing (in Gal. 5 : 20 , as a thing which can be different from the "Fruits of the Spirit", which are then listed a little bit later, in Gal. 5 : 22 - 26). I say all this mainly because I love talking about the Fruits of the Spirit. And I'm into words. Thus, this is just mainly a matter of word trivia, which I thought you might find of interest! BTW, you are well ahead of me in already knowing about Sally Norton. I am only just now discovering her!. (much to learn, therefore) Much more to learn, from many teachers, about carnivore. I used to think that raw plant foods (juicing, etc.) was it! Hoping I don't have to give up wheat grass shots, entirely, but will go where the evidence leads me.
Thank you so much Bella for this interview ! I have been following her for months and can't wait to meet her in your gang! You are wonderful, and doing a fantastic job. You are helping me everyday to improve my health and my life! Thanks again!!!
Iv rampant inflation, eczema in hands and feet . Done keto and now carnivore. Two months now starting three . I am seeing less inflammation in my extremities ❣️. Long way to go . I have had two kidney stones before .
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sally!!! Sally is exactly right. We have all been lied to at the highest levels. Sally looks great in a swim suit!!! That is absolutely amazing for a woman of her age in this country. Cudos to you for posting this photo to show the masses what is possible. The 25 minute mark. There is a good reason we were lied to about all this. The reason is profit.
I’ve been on carnivore for a little over 6 months. My blood test last week STILL shows my inflammation is high. I found out about oxalates a few months ago. I don’t know when this inflammation will go down, but I’m so glad I stopped eating plants. THANK You for posting this important information! ❤️
@@sannamuh985 The ox-LDL went from 66 to 70 in three months of eating grass fed beef, and hormone/antibiotic free chicken. Only salt for seasoning. Also, the bad cholesterol doubled. Good news is I’ve lost 60 lbs, and feel great.
I read this book a few years ago called the blood type diet . I am o+ and my sister ( who has psoriasis and PCOS) MY WHOLE family is O . O bloodtype are the original hunter and gatherers, so a carnivore diet is excellent and metabolized well . There are certain fruits and veggies that are power foods for O - Beef, Salmon , chicken - Asparagus , bananas, and mangos.... it's very interesting watching this video because I eat my veggies, fruits and meats but a ton of carbs and love sugar .... I have chronic fatigue, brain fog, carpal tunnel, depression aches and stomach upset everyday .....cloudy urine !!! I do find when I eat just a steak no sides, my body digests so well !!! I'm thinking I'll go carni and start my intermittent fasting up and see if this helps ....great video ! Are there any detoxes we can do like with charcoal , zeolite, or anything for the oxlates?
@@zelaevatomcat6927 I personally did it for 2 weeks and saw amazing results ... so speaking from experience I'd give it a few weeks to try out and note any results ... I'm going full ketovore next week again as I'm starting a new job ( basically keto / carnivore) I'll doubble back with my 4 week results.... lol ( O bloodyype is basically CARNIVORE / Keto )
I’m eating a gluten and (cow) dairy-free diet with some low oxalate vegetable. Fish, poultry, a LOT of olive oil. Milk and cheese from goat and sheep. Have almost cured my allergies and inflammations - and I’ve lost 8 kilos in 2 months!
That book, Diet For A Small Planet, I believe is responsible for all of my dad's health issues. He still to this day believes the gibberish he read in that book. He used to eat huge bowls of uncooked rolled oats with skim milk for breakfast every day, and then wonder why he had constant tooth problems and cavities. Oats are high in phytic acid (all grains are, but oats especially) which bind to minerals in the body and then get expelled. Eventually the body has no choice but to steal calcium from its own teeth in order to keep other vital processes going. The book, as far as I was able to read it before throwing it across the room, recommends planting the entire arable surface of the Earth with monocrops like oats, soy, wheat, and corn, on the (extremely outdated and disproven) theory that that is A) sustainable, and B) the only way we can hope feed the population. Now we know that regenerative farming, which rebuilds depleted soils naturally, and REQUIRES grazing ruminants, is much more viable than Monsanto soybeans as far as the eye can see. Sorry for the rant, but he STILL has a copy of the book in his kitchen! 😟
Thanks for the hint regarding acid in oats. One of the few plants left in my diet (as part of my breakfast) and you gave me one more reason to abandon oats!
I've been increasing meat in my diet for a year and a half. I am doing a 30 day meat only challenge now. I have been researching a bunch. I'm a bit disillusioned while listening to Sally say that she is dumping oxalates 8 years later, reminds me of vegans that are still 'detoxing'. I want to feel healthy and energized all the time. Sometimes I think when I attempt to be healthy it leads to me feeling shittier. LIke when I don't care about diet at all I generally have good energy levels and every once and awhile get a stomach ache if I over eat some processed foods. But when I am trying to be strict such as carnivore I get headaches, brain fog, lethargy. I am going to keep to only meat for at least a month then see how I am feeling. But if I am going to be dumping oxalates for years is sorta makes me feel like maybe its not oxalates and rather something is lacking from the diet. I believed raw alkaline veganism or fruitarian was the ideal diet for so long then came across contradicting information. Diet is so confusing.
I can really sympathize with your comment. I’m often left feeling this way also. My third and fourth day of carnivore were terrible! I had an awful headache and haven’t felt overly energetic. I’m on 2 weeks now. Wanting to see how I feel a month or two in.
I totally get what you're saying but it is true that our bodies need to dump the bad stuff and have time to heal. Just like if you're coming off alcohol or drugs, you'll feel worse before you feel better. And also like with alcohol and drugs, it's easy to think you feel fine and not realized the damage being done until it's done a lot. With that being said, though, even on my worst days of carnivore I felt better than when I was vegan. I could tell I was stronger and that my body was healing. I started being more productive, even when I felt crappy. There were signs that I was moving in the right direction, unlike with veganism where I felt worse and worse and kept trying crazier things out of desperation and got to a point where I literally couldn't do anything. I guess my point is to check with yourself and if you truly only feel worse with no benefits on carnivore, then back off of it - maybe you need to go slower, maybe it's not the right thing for you. Use as much intuition and introspection as you can to see what is best for you and be open to that shifting over time as your body heals. Make sure you are really consuming a lot of electrolytes and water, that you are eating enough, and getting a ton of fat. That made a HUGE difference for me. Oxalate dumping for years is daunting and depressing, but I can see how for me, even though that will likely be true of my situation, I will have a greatly increased quality of life during that time. I've been sick for an extremely long time, almost my whole life, so it feels intuitive to me that it might take me many years to heal, especially after the damage I did with anorexia and a fear of fat starting in my tweens, and then getting into veganism for over a decade. But if you're body isn't saying "yes!" then maybe you have a different path, and that's totally ok!
I have no desire to be on a carnivore diet. However a low oxalate diet has improved my health a great deal. I intend to continue on the diet. Inflammation and histamine driven allergies have stopped. Thankyou Dr Sally, I am enjoying your book.
What do you have to say to a new Vegan (less than 2 years) who isn't worried about the health damage and merely wants to save the animals, even if health is sacrificed?
It’s A Fight For Out Health..learn as much as you possibly can. You have one body. Finally a channel worth watching. Thank you for sharing such great information.
Wow😮 what an awesome interview! She's beautiful, witty, informative all at one time 😁 and your interview skills are top-notch.... You listen, you ask the right questions.... Will definitely be saving this!!😍
This is amazing, i‘m only two weeks on a carnivore lifestyle. Diagnosed with mcas been on a low histamine diet for years not experiencing improvement, turns out i replaced high histamine food in my diet with high oxalate veggies and fruits. Always wondering why my mcas flares didn‘t went down, my doctors hesitated i strictly followed a low histamine diet. Now i know for better, thank you so much for teaching the truth!
When she brought up cloudy urine, I screamed. I often had cloudy urine on keto. I actually had my doctors test it because I thought i was peeing out excess fat or something and was worried I had an absorption problem, but it came back negative for that. They never figured out what it was. So interesting.
2 months into carnivore and I took a prebiotic last night and it caused a bunch of dumping. My urine was very thick and cloudy today. My bladder was so irritated.
I’m in so much pain from oxalate dumping from my eyes. It’s been going on for over 7 months since starting carnivore. I poisoned myself with spinach and almonds, eating them for years, thinking it was healthy, but now I’m suffering badly as it’s pouring out of my eyes 24/7. Nothing will stop it or slow it down. Not tea, not lemon juice, not anything. I tried eating high oxalate foods again, but it didn’t stop the eye symptoms. The stuff is all over my glasses, on my skin, in my eyes. My eyes are constantly inflamed, stinging and itching. I can no longer drive or handle light. I have to take pain medication every day to get some relief. I’m spending my days laying on the couch with my eyes closed listening to audiobooks. OMG! When will this end? Carnivore has helped in so many other ways, and has probably saved my life. But this detoxification process is hard to tolerate.
Crystal out of my eyes.stools android much pain. But Sally didn't know about sudden stopping oxalate. First year carnivore was magical I made it. Food allergies and histamine mass cell reaction now. . Been long road. Judy cho has been huge blessing. .my daughter loves you. Thank you
The crystal crustiness around the eyes is an interesting one. I used to take that as normal to find when I woke up in the morning. But, since eliminating most plant foods, that no longer happens.
I thank God daily I found you and definitely Sally . After first stage stomach cancer with my sonbwhipping me off for diagnosis . My wonderful vegan diet was cast aside. I began a journey sleep deprived, major weakness and brain fog. Stressed to the hilt and then diagnosed cancer clear no oxygen said from my horror smoking habit and marjuana daily to sleep . I discovered my intestine had two ulcers , a hernia, no focus whatsoever, ambition gone, depression suicidal thoughts daily, anxiety off the charts, and every narcissistic individual honing in and taking advantage of me. I found you guys at first I thought these people pushing their produce, I started to remember what Grandfather and father said . Eat your fat and steak it's good for you Both diceased would to tell they were right . What an awful journey but thank God for the illness I also have had hashimotos and rhematoid arthritis riddled. Now on the diet for over 30 days exhausted at first now finding my organs arr coping much better not super muddled in brain Can now organise everything satisfactory and have now seen clearly how others ridden wild over me advantageously Now I am fighting back A relief .THANK YOU YOU HAVE SAVED MY LIFE LITERALLY. GOD BLESS WITH YOUR MOVEMENT I HOPE IN THE NEXT YEAR NEVER TO SEE ANOTHER WESK VEGAN UNDER NORISHED ANYWHERE PUSHING THEIR WARES NAIVELY.
Fully carnivore for a long time. Oxalate dumping began with my 1st kidney stone at age 72. Terrible pain. 4mm stone in kidney. Chance Piedra saving me, plus lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. Not sure if stone has passed. Will find out next week. Listen to Sally, don't stop all oxalate foods all at once. I'm back to black tea to help me out. Love my meat, butter and eggs!
Bella and Sally thank you. After studying Dave Asprey then Dr Gundry i came across Sally's work on Oxalates and I really realise how much harm I've done over the years trying to eat super healthy. I was ahead of my friends when it came to understanding the importance of health from our diet but I was duped by Diet for a Small Planet and also by a similar book called Raw Energy years later. I have decided to let go of all limiting beliefs and just look at studies, clinical trials and empirical truth from testing on myself and learning from others' journeys. I am throwing out all pre conceptions and completely starting from scratch.
The education and information or really, misinformation regarding what is healthy eating is NOT by accident, it is intentional. An unhealthy population being constantly sick, unmotivated, with brain fog, requiring constant doctor's appointments and medical treatments is very financially lucrative for the medical complex !! It is imperative that people take care of their own health !
Thank you Bella for this amazing Interview. It just made me realize alot of things about my health issues. I can't wait for the december meating with Sally ❤️
Thank you, Bella for a great interview. Dr. Norton is sooooo knowledgeable. Perhaps a question for Sally or anyone in the know: Is there any chance of iron overload for over 60 carnivores?
At 9 years old I was diagnosed with JA. I really think my crappy childhood diet is what it was caused by really. I’m 55 now and have been keto for over 7 years. I lost weight and got of meds, however I then hurt my hip and haven’t been the same since. It always hurts and feels inflamed. I tried so hard to do carnivore, but I cook for my 88 year old mother, my husband and two young adults. So I cook for my family, and feel it my job so don’t get in an uproar over that. But I so want to focus on my health and lower my inflammation to get back on track. I want support but feel I need more exact support than SBA group. This has been a very interesting talk to listen to. Editing to say: also I had covid in August and have felt even more inflamed since then, even more joint pain.
Hi. Do you take any vitamins and minerals? Have you tried chiropractor? If you hurt your hip you might be walking odd and don't even know, that will put you out of whack. So if you get back inline it would also help. I'm not a doctor. But hurt myself at one time and didn't want surgery. I'm trying do do more for my diet now. Although Thanksgiving was not good. But back at it. Best of luck to you.
It’s interesting, covid what made me go keto. I had horrible pain from my waste down to both of my legs when I had covid. Didn’t eat anything and just had fluids, made sure had no starch or any type of sugar at all. I honestly feel that what helped me to recover.
Just cook animal foods for the whole family. If other family members complain, tell them they are free to cook whatever they want. It's your job to provide nutritious sustenance for loved ones who are dependent on you. Animal foods provide nutritious sustenance, whereas plant foods do not.
Sounds like maybe long covid symptoms. Have you tried ivermectin? It can't hurt...it is safer to use than tylenol. If you cannot get it try black seed oil. Hopefully, you will get relief soon.
Never had a kidney stone for my entire life until I ended up in a hotel for training for work that lasted 4 months. I started eating sandwich wraps with spinach in it almost every day. after 2 months I got a kidney stone, that was hell on earth. After much research I finally figured out it was the spinach.
I’ve come to the conclusion that if the FDA, AMA, or any other three letter agency reccommends something, RUN the opposite direction..for example, the food pyramid is upside down.
She’s 58??? Wow!! She looks absolutely fantastic! I heard about oxylates the first time (don’t laugh) on ER when nurse Carol told a patient that he got his gallstones from drinking tea (oxylate) and eating ice cream (calcium)!!??
I was having trouble eating on the run outside,not anymore. I go to odoba and get 3 sides of meat for 9$ . Usually grilled chicken, Cholula chicken and brisket or steak 🥩. Do a video on what to eat on the run .
