Xylitol should be spelled zylitol, LOL

I'll watch the ZOOM meeting on Monday, right after Dr. Berry's live . I've never done anything with ZOOM before so that will be another skill to learn, LOL.

Thank You for letting me join. So glad I saw Geezy on Dave Macs YouTube channel which pointed me in this direction.

Scott: Thanks for the welcome to the group. My last MRI showed my optic nerves to be clear, which was good to hear but my entire spine and brain light up like a xmas tree with the contrast added. I will probably repeat a brain MRI this year before I go on Medicare in December. it's been a few years since I've had an MRI. I am currently on Copaxone and will probably be stopping that this year also. I feel it has never done anything for me personally. it only has about a 30% success rate in patients and after age 65-70 is has very little effect for most patients. I can't use anything stronger because of the cancer risk. 5 years ago I had bladder cancer, which is now clear (Thanks to carnivore?). MS fatigue is one feeling that just brings me down. That lack of energy when you feel okay otherwise is depressing. I do get tons of energy on a fast after 24 hours and for me it just keeps going until I decide to end the fast. Haven't noticed much difference between 72 vs 96. Thats around the "end zone" for me anyways. Next time I may go for 100 hour "century fast", never done one of those. Fasting is like magic to me. I can tell you that they get easier to extend as you do more and more of them. I usually start my fast on a Sunday night at 5pm and go as long as I can, but I also check before how much meat is in the fridge so nothing goes to waste. I've already had to put stuff in the freezer when fasts go super long, LOL. My wife and I both eat OMAD 90% of the time, but I've recently started going to a 36 hour fast once a week or more. There again fasting gets easier as you do them. I will say that after almost 4 years on carnivore right now I'm feeling in one of my better shapes and moods than anytime in the last 10 years. GOOD Luck with everything on you end. Wishing you all the best in your life, and as always "Eat your Meat!"

I've had extended fasts that end at 40 hours or less and others that just won't quit. Not sure why this happens but I'll take whatever I can out of the experience. To me fasting is like magic making your body do things that you wouldn't think are even possible. I just ended my latest at 87 hours and could have went till 96 but was feeling it a little so I ate a hard boiled egg with smoked salt just to get system working again. 8 lbs down this morning. Now at least 5 of those will go back on over the next week, but i'm still winning the race, LOL.

I watched this vid yesterday and immediately joined this group after. Nice video

Hard boiled or pickled (homemade) I'll eat 2. If they are scrambled then 3 or 4. I like them prepared Gordan Ramsey style.

Yes around $10 a tube but a crown and root canal is now around $2K, so...................... Pay me now, or pay me later.

DO NOT LET ANY DOGS or CATS NEAR XYLITOL. IT WILL KILL THEM! After a lifetime of not taking care of my teeth and a mouth full of fillings and several crowns I started using xylitol and the results have been amazing for me. No more mouth pains and my teeth now look good. I've been using it for about 2 years. I make my own xylitol pieces (for lack of a better name) by filling a silicone candy mold with powdered xylitol and then placing in a 300'F oven for about 30 minutes. Let these cool slowly over about 24 hours and they will solidify into chunks that are easier to use. It helps to sprinkle a little powdered xylitol on the hot liquid xylitol to start the crystallization process. I switched my toothpaste to BOCA brand and that has been great also. My wife says her teeth become too sensitive while using the BOCA brand so she has went back to regular fluoride toothpaste.

Being in Wisconsin puts a crimp on outside stuff for me until about this time of year. The daily walks of a few miles have started up again and now we are just waiting for the heat of summer to arrive. My wife and I both love the heat, which is about a 3 month period between Memorial day and Labor day, LOL. I always sit for several hours directly in the morning sun and being a carnivore I do NOT sunburn at all. I just get a nice tan. It amazing because on a SAD diet I would burn within an hour in the direct sun.

Sous vide is a great way to a perfect steak. I use an old cooler and a hot water recirculatory that came out of a laboratory setting. I vacuum seal the steak along with some salt, butter and bacon grease and then let them go for 8-24 hours at 120'F, after that I put them on a super hot grill for just a few minutes per side. sometimes I even hit them with the propane torch just to char up the fat a little. Cooking this way is a bit of extra work but the results are great tasting.

Hello to all my fellow carnivores out there. Yesterday I saw Geezy on Dave Mac's YouTube channel and when he mentioned this group I knew I had to join up and so I did. I've been carnivore for almost 4 years now. My wife followed me on this journey a few months after I started. We both find carnivore to be a GREAT way of getting our nutrition. I will eat this way for the rest of my life. So many benefits that after this long I forgot some of them. I actually made up a list yesterday and as I remember old aches and pains that are pretty much gone now I then put them on the list of benefits. I'm 64 and I have MS (DX in 2017) and have had 2 rounds of kidney stones (PAINFUL), one stone had to be surgically removed and while they were doing the procedure they found a grade 1 bladder cancer which they scraped out. After all that I knew I had to find a diet for all the things I had going on in my life. I tried several different MS diets which did not seem to help. Then one day I ran across Dr Berry on YouTube and I jumped right in cold turkey and have not looked back and never will. I recently had my 5 year bladder scan and no reoccurrence of the bladder cancer was seen and the doctor said no more bladder scans are needed for me. My MS symptoms are greatly reduced. I usually eat OMAD but a few days a month I do 2 meals per day in a 4 or 5 hour window. I also do extended fasting of 36-72 hours. There again I go by how I feel. Extended fasting for me is kind of magical. The energy I get on days 2 and 3 are crazy high. just recently I made the commitment to do extended fasting once per week. We will see how that goes. I usually start my fasts on Sundays after a 5pm meal, and then just go as long as I can.

Right now I'm at hour 52 on my current fast. I'm trying for 72 hours, which will be no problem. I really tested myself today by cooking bacon for my wife and I smoked and then slow cooked a corned beef. I had no sample of either. I love day 2 because of all the energy I have.
