Bob pretty much covered it all so I’ll just welcome you lisalab. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow! I just finished watching the movie Dark Waters. Tremendous story of corporate corruption in the chemical industries. As I watched it I couldn’t help but think the same things that DuPont did in this circumstance are no different that what the pharmaceutical industry and big food corporations do to us as well. If you haven’t seen this 2019 movie you you really should make an effort to check it out. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt9071322/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cooked up those steaks. Over a pound each. Not as fatty as I would have liked but delicious anyways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mosquito season hasn’t hit us yet so I’ve yet to test this out. I suppose I could go stick my hand in a fire ant mound to test it but I don’t really want to know that bad. I’ll just wait on the skeeters. I have noticed that I don’t sunburn like I used to. I’m browning more than burning. I haven’t used any sun block since being carnivore.

I watched about half of it when it first came out. I’ve heard several people talk about their hygiene changing on carnivore and not using soaps and deodorants or not bathing as often. Well if that works for them then fine but like everything else on this WOE, we are all different and it works differently in each of us. There are some benefits that many carnivore claim that I haven’t experienced such as skin tags falling of. I still have mine. Some no longer have floaters in their eyes, mine are less frequent but they are still there. It does make sense to me that by eating an all meat diet that it will change how we smell. In Vietnam our LRRP teams had to eat what the locals ate so Charlie couldn’t smell our men in the field. Your diet will give you a distinct smell. It also makes sense that when you don’t consume the sugars and carbs that turn into sugar your dental hygiene will be better. I believe I’m getting less mouth sores myself. I suppose it’s more habit than anything to brush my teeth twice a day but it definitely feels much better in the morning. I guess one could not brush their teeth and see if their loved ones say anything to them about their breath. Now as far as BO. No, if I can smell myself then I know others can smell me and I have smelled BO on myself since becoming carnivore. I also can’t stand greasy hair so I will keep showering and using soaps an shampoo. I can see finding cleaner soaps, shampoos and toothpaste in order to cut down on the unwanted chemicals in our lives. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I guess the difference between being skeptical of carnivore and grounding is that I can see and understand how carnivore works. I can only hear what people claim about grounding. Kinda difficult to see anything physical going on. I suppose the only way to find out would be to try it oneself but my feet are tender because I don’t ever go barefooted and there is no way I’m walking around for any length of time without something on my feet. I’m allergic to tetanus shots and I cannot afford to have something stick me in my feet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well it was a good weather day so I got my walk in. Thanks for the inspiration. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did not avoid salt. In fact I increased my salt intake but you have to be your own experiment or N=1. Use it as you would normally would to salt your meat and see how you do. I personally have no issues with using salt and I think a do better with a higher amount of salt in my diet. In fact, my last blood test showed I was low in sodium so I’m trying to increase my intake. But you must do what works for you and you find that out with trying something for awhile and see how it affects you and then adjust as needed. Cautionary note though. Choose your salt carefully. Avoid table salt if at all possible because it contains sugar. Read the labels of everything you intend to eat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Paffle lamb burgers for me. That was yesterday. Today I’ll be cooking a couple off lamb steaks over a wood fire. They’ve been dry brining for four days now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve seen where Dr. Chaffee recommends sprinting and I sure wish I could try it but unfortunately I haven’t been able to run or even jog since 12/30/1980. All I can do is walk so that’s what I do. I try to get my 3 miles in every other day but with all of the bad weather we’ve been having it’s been difficult so I guess my goal will be to just get up and get back to walking now that there’s a break in the weather.

So many slippery slopes in that article. First off a country that mandates what you can eat and not eat is not a free country. As much as I hate government interference I do applaud the British and European governments for not allowing certain types of food additives into their countries. We are way to lax on allowing Big Food to poison us. I absolutely agree that educating our children on nutrition is vital but…that is the responsibility of the parents and not the schools and even if the schools were to try that what guidelines would they teach from. I can pretty much guarantee it wouldn’t be from the perspective of The Proper Human Diet. Education begins in the home. Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6, ESV) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great idea Bob, thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well Robert we are all different and because we all have different physiology’s and metabolic pathways this way we eat will have varying responses. I disagree with your assessment that we can catch this virus or for that matter most viruses from eating the juices from a steak that is not well done. I personally eat mine rare to blue. I have no fear. Blood-borne viruses are those found at levels that can be detected in an infected person’s blood. They can be passed from person to person by blood, and in some cases other bodily fluids, including semen and breast milk. They can be transmitted from an infected person by intravenous drug use, a needle stick injury with contaminated needles, blood transfusions and sexual intercourse. They can also be transmitted from mother to child, before, during or even after birth. The most common blood borne viruses are the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. These viruses persist in the blood long-term or for life. There are some other viruses that can show up briefly in blood, but they generally don’t persist and are not considered significant “blood-borne” pathogens. Any infectious agent with a blood-borne, or “viraemic” phase has the potential for blood borne transmission, and so may be important for blood transfusions. For many infections, this viraemic period persists until the immune system is able to cure the infection by killing all infected cells. For some viruses, including Zika and Dengue, the viraemic phase lasts a matter of days. For other viruses such as Hepatitis B and C, or HIV, this viraemic phase persists. If a blood-borne virus is not detectable in blood, then a person or animal is generally considered non-infectious. In contrast, influenza, which the avian flu is categorized as, is spread by respiratory droplets. Virus particles are transmitted when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Droplets are inhaled by a new host, the virus binds to target receptors on the respiratory tract surface, and replicates in cells of the respiratory tract. Unlike HIV, influenza cannot insert itself into the host’s genes. Instead, the immune system detects infection, turns off viral reproduction and clears infected cells. While medications are available to aid this process, they are often unnecessary, as the immune system is often able to cure influenza independently. Previous influenza infection or vaccination provides some immune memory and provides protection and faster immune clearance of the virus. Influenza can be found in the blood for a brief period of time, particularly in severe cases, when the person is showing symptoms of flu. Although blood transfusions are not routinely tested for influenza infection, blood donors are asked not to donate if they are unwell. From my research there has never been any evidence or documentation or even whisper of a tale that anyone has ever caught any flu virus from eating a piece of meat, raw or otherwise.

Guest, for food sensitivities and finding out what they are it is recommended that you remove everything from your diet except ruminant meat and water. Give that enough time to cleanse your system 60-90 days. Then you can introduce on thing at a time and see if it affects you. Do eat that one thing and then give it three days to see how your body reacts. No reaction? Cool, that food is back in. Reaction? Outta your life forever. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Define your inflammation. Carnivore eliminated my inflammation and allowed me to move again. Not to sure how salt could create inflammation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I suppose there could be something to it but when I kept a garden all I experienced was a sore back. [emoji38] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are you wanting to just cook some plain pork belly or are you wanting to make bacon? For just cooking pork belly I don’t season it prior to cooking. I just slice it and fry it. But bacon is a process that requires a week to brine and has to be smoked. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well the salad whole kill you and we won’t judge you for it. In reality, as long as you didn’t have a bunch of seed oil dressings all over it then I wouldn’t consider it a big deal. It won’t digest and there was no nutrition in it so all it’s really going to affect is your next movement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome Jamie. From reading some of your other posts I can see that you have some good knowledge to share. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I make my own by just running my pork rinds through a food processor. Chops them up real good. Cautionary note though. Check the labels on your pork rinds an make sure they are clean. No sugar or spices and make sure they are not fried in seed oils. They should be fried in their own lard. This will not always be in the labeling. You may need to do an online search or even contact the company to find out. I use Macs plain pork rinds. They are clean and fried in lard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll need to read up on it but to be honest it just seems like snake oil, imaginative therapy to me. I see were several people swear by it but I just don’t know if it’s a valid concept or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve read that when reducing meds like Metropol and Flecinide, those are my heart meds, that it’s best to wean off of them gradually. In my case my BP had dropped so dramatically that my cardiologist didn’t wean me off of Metropol but just stopped it immediately but the Flecinide he is reducing slowly. I’m on a half a dose now and if I keep doing well he may take me off of it completely in about six months. I would definitely consult with a doctor before quitting all together.

Great testimony MG. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s kinda funny how there are so many different opinions on this subject as well as many others in the carnivore community. On another forum there is a guy, and I think you know who it is, that is a big advocate for drinking alcohol on a regular basis for a ketogenic diet. He sites several studies that promote this but then again he provides many studies that tend to go against the norm in the carnivorous diet. I find that it all boils down to doing what works best for each individual. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
