Recommendation(s) for Natural Alternative(s) to Blood Thinner (Pradaxa)
When I was an afiber I used some of these to keep my blood thin so I didn’t have to take any pharmaceutical blood thinners. I did take a full strength aspirin for years but stopped that after I became a carnivore and learned how bad it could affect the liver and kidneys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This "Healthy" Fat May Secretly Be Fueling Obesity
I quit using EVO because it’s hard to find any that’s not cut with canola oil. I do use some avocado oil but only to season my cast iron and my flat top. For cooking I only use butter, ghee, tallow, bacon fat or lard.

Bad advice
I believe in being honest with doctors and everyone for that matter but be careful with an insurance company. They may use what you say against you. You can still be honest but you don’t have to be completely forthright.

Carnivores are lying!!
Yeah I’ve been called a lier on posts where I said I have reversed my AFIB and I’ve received the condescending looks when I’ve mentioned healings from carnivore. Uh well, nothing I can do about the naysayers except prove them wrong by outliving them. 😉

And that’s what drives me nuts about doctors and influencers who treat us as though we are all the same. Even in our carnivore community’s people act like we are all the same and then a newcomer comes along and gets discouraged because what he was told to do didn’t work for him and so he quits. A good example is the influence that Paul Saladino has with is fruit diet. What works for him will not work for most people like us but he promotes it for everyone. Then they wonder why carnivore isn’t working when they eat 300 grams of fruits and honey.

Exactly! There are no set rules to eating carnivore, just guidelines. We start with a foundation of 70/30 fat to protein ratio but since we are individuals with different physiological needs we have to adjust our diets to what works best us.

Carnivore fasting can be unpredictable
Tell him when he goes hunting that you will fast until he brings home the meat to provide for his tribe. Primal baybeee!

Not carnivore exactly but plants can be used as a medicine. Always better to go natural than artificial.

This carnivore had a heart attack today
My cardiologist took me off of Metropolol after three months on carnivore and took my off of Flecinide after one year as a carnivore. He has never once mentioned a statin to me. It’s my PCP that keeps trying to push the worthless statins on me because my total cholesterol is in the 300’s. But he is ignorant and is only push statins because the lawyers tell him he has to. It has nothing to do with better health. It’s all about covering their butts and lining the pockets of pharmaceutical executives. My cardiologist loves what I’m doing with my carnivore diet because he’s seen that it’s reversed my heart condition. In fact he now only wants to see me once a year to give me a checkup.

Among many other side effects. None of which are worth the very minimal effects of the statin. The extra 2-5 days of life that a statin may give you is not worth any of the side effects.

Insulin
I can’t access your link but as someone who is insulin sensitive I have no problems eating carnivore. I’m thriving on it and it has been super easy for me. The problem I’m seeing is that they seem to be reporting on “High Protein” studies and the way we eat is no High Protein but high fat and moderate protein. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How to lower my cholesterol
My BP dropped to 80/60 the other day after smoking a bunch of meats all day for a big gathering of the family. I noticed I was getting ready to pass out when I started seeing dark circles forming in my eyes and everything was starting to close in on me while I was taking a shower. I laid down and took my BP. Seeing how low I had gotten I realized what my mistake was. So I put on the tightest boot socks I’ve got that are like compression socks and then I started drinking plenty of salted water. It brought my BP up within a half hour and by evening I was up to 106/70. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Returning to Carnivore
Welcome to Carnivore talk. I’m glad you’ve joined us and glad you’ve come back to carnivore. You received some great advice so far so I can add much to it other than to say forget your mistakes and remember the lessons. Each time you stumble it’s not a failure but a lesson to be learned from. I have stumbled with every addiction I’ve ever had but by learning from my mistakes I became stronger both mentally and physically to eventually succeed. I am no longer addicted to anything and am in complete control of my body now. You can do the same. Try to remember, “Nothing tastes as good as how I feel”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When they messed up the food
He makes some very good points but I’ll add that ain’t all of it. I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and yes, our food was different and RJ Reynolds hadn’t started developing food that was as addictive as cocaine but there’s more to it than just that. We didn’t grow up with our noses in a phone screen. We were active. There was only three channels on the tv and it wasn’t on all of the time. We entertained ourselves by playing outside until dark. We didn’t snack between meals unless it was a piece of fruit because we didn’t have chips and crackers and cookies and soft drinks in the house all of the time. Those were only bought for parties and special occasions. We didn’t have microwaves where we could just heat up a Hot Pocket. You either had to cook something, which usually only your mother would do, or you had to wait 45 minutes to an hour while the oven heated up some leftovers. The first quick and bad food I can recall eating was Pop Tarts and even then you had to put them in the toaster. We very rarely ever ate fast food. Again it was only for very special occasions or road trips. When you won a baseball championship you got treated to a trip to Pizza Hut. Yes, the food industry has changed for the worse, no doubt about it but that’s only the half of it
