Just saying what their handlers are telling them to say just like here in the U.S.

Turmeric Curcumin May inhibit blood clotting Can interact with blood thinners Ginger Salicylates May reduce platelet aggregation More research needed on effectiveness Cayenne Pepper Salicylates May improve circulation and lower blood pressure Limited evidence on blood-thinning effects Garlic Allicin May reduce blood clotting Not as effective as aspirin Cinnamon Coumarin May prevent blood clotting Long-term use can cause liver damage Vitamin E Tocopherol May reduce clotting High doses can be harmful Ginkgo Biloba Ginkgolides May dissolve blood clots Can interact with medications Grape Seed Extract Proanthocyanidins

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.

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. 😉

I hear you brother. Lol.

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.

14 oz smoked sirloin and six guinea eggs.

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.

Congratulations. Nothing tastes as good as how I feel.

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.

Still eating ribeyes from last weekend. Life is rough.

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.

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

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

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

I have never had gout and I’m thankful for that but my son has while he was a carnivore. My son did though but he understood that it had nothing to do with eating meat. He just kept eating meat and fat and powered on through it.

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

Let’s just start out saying that those are complete lies and false studies. The Framingham study was debunked and proven long ago to be fabricated. There has never been and there never will be an RCT that PROVES that cholesterol causes CVD. The first attack identified by autopsy was in 1912, prior to hat there was little to no evidence of heart disease in America. It wasn’t until the introduction of processed foods and seed oils into our diet that started to move to the forefront of human mortality. There is no causal relationship between heart disease and saturated fats or cholesterol. Any research claiming otherwise is simply pseudoscience. Atherosclerosis is the underpinning disfunction behind most heart disease. Atherosclerotic lesioning of the endothelia cells of the vascular tree is caused by several factors. One is chronic hypertension or high blood pressure. Another is chronic inflammation of the endothelia cells beds. The third one is physical injury to those cell beds. Compare this to what it takes to create fire. You need three things, a fuel source, oxygen and heat. Remove any one of those three things and the fire cannot survive. The same can be said of atherosclerosis. You need damage to the endothelia cells, inflammation and high blood pressure. Remove any one of these and you will not have atherosclerosis. The high blood pressure seems to be the most underpinning cause of the other two. There is a misconception that hypertension is caused by too much salt but in reality it’s the inability to excrete salt that causes hypertension. Sure, the excess salt is causing it but any normal healthy person with normally functioning kidneys will excrete excess salt so if you have excess salt in your blood causing hypertension then it’s not the salt that’s the issue but instead the fact that you can’t excrete salt normally. The usual cause of the inability to excrete salt normally is hyperinsulinemia. The cause of hyperinsulinemia is eating too many carbohydrates on a daily basis. So if you want to sort out the hypotension in your life stop eating carbs. Without sufficient cholesterol you will die. All of the cells in your body are made up of cholesterol therefore cholesterol is vital for proper human function. 80% of the cholesterol in your body is made by the body so you don’t need to eat it to have it. Bart Kay Cholesterol is an essential component of the wall of every cell in our body. It makes up a surprisingly high percentage of the fat in our brain, and our brains contain a lot of fat. Cholesterol forms part of the myelin sheaths of our nerves and is essential for properly transmitting brain and nerve impulses. Cholesterol is the precursor of Vitamin D and the sex hormones testosterone and progesterone. It helps fight off bacterial infections, as well as playing other roles in the immune system. It helps heal arterial damage by participating in plaque formation. So cholesterol is nothing to be afraid of. Given that there is no evidence to show that cholesterol causes cardiovascular disease, and there is plenty of evidence to show that low cholesterol damages the body in many ways, I vote for not worrying about it. As long as your ratio of triglycerides to HDL is low enough, your cardiovascular risk is minimal. It’s worth noting that the body regulates how much cholesterol is in the blood and that cholesterol is ultimately an essential and healthy compound. It acts as a building block for vitamin D, and numerous hormones. It is an essential part of bile salt–the substance that your body uses to digest and absorb essential fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and vitamin K2. [10] Not only is cholesterol critical for numerous bodily functions, but many modern studies have also linked high cholesterol with lower risk for specific and all-cause mortality and lower cholesterol with increased risk for all-cause mortality. The reason the medical profession worries so much about your LDL level is that studies have shown a a very strong correlation between lowering your cholesterol by taking a statin and the annual pay bonuses of pharmaceutical company executives.

Many people report improved clarity and cognitive function on carnivore as well as enhanced mood and reversal of depression. I can’t really say that I’ve experienced any of that but I have noticed a calming effect. In my past I’ve been a very volatile person and while age has settled me down some, carnivore seems to have taken me to a different level.

From Seed Oil Scout What stevia is doing to your hormones Brought to you by animal., starring Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Eric Berg, and Dr. Anthony Chaffee Stevia is everywhere—from electrolyte powders to protein bars to toothpaste. It’s sold as a plant-based, zero-calorie sweetener, and for many people, it feels like a safe, natural alternative to sugar. But the research tells a more complicated story, especially when you look beyond short-term human trials. We’re breaking it down, and explaining why stevia doesn’t get the SOS stamp of approval. @reallytanman What the studies show Although stevia is generally considered safe by regulatory bodies, a growing body of evidence—particularly from animal and in vitro studies—raises questions about its long-term biological effects. A 2016 in vitro study found that steviol glycosides disrupted human progesterone receptor function and reduced sperm fertilization capacity (PubMed). A 2010 study in male rats reported reduced testosterone levels, decreased testicular weight, and structural changes in reproductive tissues following chronic exposure to stevia extract (PubMed). Additional studies observed decreased fertility and smaller litters in female rats after prolonged stevia intake. (PubMed, PubMed) While these outcomes haven’t been observed in short-term human trials, most clinical studies to date are limited in duration and often exclude reproductive endpoints altogether. The takeaway: Stevia appears to have pharmacologic activity. And repeated exposure—not just one-time use—is where the concern lies. Stevia as birth control Before it was a fixture in wellness products, stevia was studied for its effect on fertility. In the 1960s and ’70s, researchers in Paraguay and Brazil reported that female rats given daily doses of stevia extract over several weeks experienced a drop in fertility. Litter sizes shrank. Conception rates fell. When the extract was removed, normal fertility resumed—suggesting the effect was hormonal, not toxic (PubMed). These were early, well-documented findings. But they’ve rarely resurfaced in the decades since—at least not in ways most consumers would notice. @jessicagenetics What you’re eating isn’t the stevia plant The version used in most products is a purified compound—usually rebaudioside A—processed with solvents or resins. It’s typically blended with erythritol, monk fruit, or sucralose to mask bitterness. Why that matters: these ingredients are consumed together, often several times a day, across supplements, drinks, and snacks. A 2025 mouse study found that erythritol impaired memory and learning, possibly by disrupting synaptic plasticity. (Journal of Applied Physiology) Stevia was never fully approved by the FDA The FDA has never approved whole-leaf stevia or crude stevia extracts for use in food. Instead, it granted GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status to isolated compounds like rebaudioside A, based on short-term studies in healthy adults. Despite this narrow approval, stevia gained popularity because it was marketed as natural, plant-based, and calorie-free. Why we don’t approve stevia at SOS Brands that partner with Seed Oil Scout can earn the Seed Oil Safe stamp to use on their packaging and be listed in our marketplace. But stevia-containing products don’t qualify. This decision comes from our guiding philosophy: we apply scrutiny to ingredients with questionable safety data, regulatory ambiguity, or a track record of underreported risks—especially when they’re used daily under the assumption of safety. We built the SOS Grocery Scanner around this principle. Stevia doesn’t meet our standard. Here’s why: Hormonal and reproductive effects have been documented in multiple animal studies Long-term safety data in humans is limited It’s rarely consumed alone and typically paired with other additives like erythritol or sucralose. It’s marketed as natural, but chemically refined and far from a whole food This isn’t about trends—it’s about applying consistent standards to ingredients that haven’t earned our confidence. Try the SOS Grocery Scanner. It flags more than just seed oils. Bottomline Stevia demonstrates biological effects in animal models. Long-term safety in humans has not been established. The version used in products is highly processed. It’s not Seed-Oil Safe. 🫡 See the #1 Documentary in America Now!

We had a bunch of family over yesterday for my MIL’s viewing. I smoked 15 one pound ribeyes. 4 sirloin steaks and 3 pounds worth of hamburgers on my new rebuilt smoker. They all fit on that monster. Today after the funeral we hosted a luncheon over a local bbq joint that we have always enjoyed. It’s the only place my wife will go for bbq outside of our own back yard. I ate half a rack of spareribs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
