Why do some do so.

[Randy Holmes-Farley Verified Community Expert]

They do that to human food as well. I think that's why so many people have disease. I started eating a carnivore only diet 4 years ago and it cured every ailment I had. No more of the doctors poison pills. We need to treat ourselves like we do our fish.

Yes, those folks living before modern medicine doing as you suggest clearly had very long, healthy lives. Maybe mammoth meat was the ticket!

I find it sad that folks believe in such fads.

I know modern medicine wasn't helping me, only making me worse. They just manage most diseases, but dont get to the root cause or cure. And yes, carnivore societies in the past were long lived if you remove child mortality from the data.

I am all in on carnivore diet. However,
I like beer! Is that carbohydrate OK?

Enjoy the meat, while you can. lol

Ha... I dont think beer fits the category. Maybe a good Mead would be closer since it comes from bees!

I will! You enjoy your doritos and processed gmo oats and grains.

I don’t eat Doritos, but I do takes a number of very clearly helpful medications, and have invented some that you apparently do not think are useful.

I have no doubt some are very useful, but not the way modern medicine is prescribing them. My wife works at a pharmacy and gets to see it first hand. Doctors were slowly killing me with their pills. I've never been overweight but now, I'm almost 60, 6' 168 lbs, outsurfing my 20 year old kids on the weekends in sizable waves, can bust out 30 pull-ups, 100 push-ups and not on a single medication. Just had a full medical workup after 4 years carnivore and every metric was perfect, including blood clots. I tried every other diet from vegan to Mediterranean trying to cure lifelong gerd and high BP. They just made it worse. Doctors know little about nutrition, but marveled at my cholesterol level all while pushing blood pressure and proton pump inhibitor meds down my throat that were destroying my kidneys and a few other things. Carnivore is the only thing that CURED me. I'll take my chances with meat instead of chemicals. They are just putting a lot of crap in all of our food and, I know, it was making me sick.

I get it. I think your profession is a chemist? I've read a lot of your articles, and it's really helped me. I appreciate your extra work for this hobby. My first degree was in soil science, and I took 9 classes of straight up chemistry and all my major classes were applied chemistry and biology. The most dynamic system in nature is the top six inches of soil. Most chemical and biological reactions in nature. My first job was working in a genetics lab for a hybrid vegetable seed company. I love the chemistry. I just don't think they know what these medications do to us long term. I readThey found prilosec shouldn't be prescribed more than six months due to cancer concerns. Docs gave it to me for 10 years!

Thanks, and I’m glad the info was helpful. :)

We will have to agree to disagree on the meds and all meat diet, but one warning; watch out for ticks. If you get a meat allergy from one, it will be the end of the carnivore solution. lol

Or I could get hit by lightning. Probably more chance getting eaten by a great white out here in socal.

A couple weeks ago I was surfing out at cardiff reef, 1/4 mile out, a calico bass was chasing a mackerel and it jumped right in my lap trying to get away from the bass. What are the chances of that???

 

[GeoSquid]

Maybe, if I get my covid booster, it will also help with Alpha-gal syndrome protection. Lol

I also keep treatment free bee hives and I have better success than commercial beekeepers. Its controversial if you dont know about it. Just like not quarantining fish.

In fact they. Life was certainly tuff back in the day.

Quote "The average "caveman" life expectancy was around 25 to 37 years at birth, due to extremely high infant and child mortality rates, according to Quora. However, if a person survived childhood, they had a good chance of living into their 40s, 50s, or even older, as high mortality rates skewed the average"

My wife went carnivore with me but she's Italian, like you Paul, and sure misses her pasta! That food looks amazing! Good thing seafood is carnivore!

I grew up on pasta and my Mom would make it fresh with a rolling pin. A lot of work but you can't find that pasta here any more except in one place in New York, in the Bronx.

The pasta in this country isn't very good for us at all as it is harvested with the help of "Round Up" weed killer which was banned for most people to buy, but they are allowed to use it for wheat . It some places in Italy it is not used so we get pasta from there if we can.

(You can Google it)
I make my wife what she calls "Jumping Juice" that she drinks every morning for pain from er MS. If she forgets it, she is in terrible pain at night. It is a mixture of fresh beets, carrots, 3 berries, tart cherry juice, fresh ginger and Tumeric.

I make about a gallon and freeze most of it until needed. It is much better than pain pills as it is all natural and fairly cheap, but time consuming to make.

I try to stay as healthy as I can and still get up every morning at about 5:00 to go outside, no matter the weather, rain, cold, snow, it doesn't matter and I walk for almost an hour which includes running up 17 flights of stairs made out of railroad ties which are much steeper than regular steps. And I will be 77 on Christmas Day. I am the exact same weight as I was when I got married 55 years ago.

Sometimes I run up these steps. There are about 100 more steps you can't see over the ridge.



I try to stay as healthy as I can for my wife as she can't do much of anything and I have to help her get out of a chair and do just about everything else, and she used to be an athlete teaching high impact aerobics.

I only take 2 medications and am trying to get off those.

 

[atoll]

Well done Paul, doing your very best for your wife and in keeping fit yourself.

 

[Paul B]

I am trying my friend, but as the years go by, it gets a lot tougher.

I just got back from my walk. It's 35 degrees and was very dark this morning so I had to bring a flashlight.

 

[atoll]

Am with you Paul. Am 76 in a couple of weeks in fact 3 says before your birthday plus a year. I have another hospital appointment this afternoon. Fingers crossed all good this time.
We have to keep moving or we will cease up. Maintaining our aquariums dosen't get any easier either, but for now, needs must.

My beehive was ripped apart by a mama bear and two yearlings a week ago. I forgot to turn the electric fence back on after giving them some fall sugar water. :(
