During the zoom meaning the other night I mentioned that I was going to the doctor because I had a hard knot on my throat under my jaw.

So after X-rays with imaging it turns out to be an “acute inflamed salivary gland”. I wonder why that happened?

Anyways, the doc ran some blood tests and the only bad markers involved the infection going on in my system. Everything else looked good just as it should be as carnivore.

 

The xray also showed a nodule on one of my lungs but since I don’t have a history with cancer he’s not worried about it. Although I haven’t had an official diagnosis of prostrate cancer I am being monitored for it but I guess that doesn’t count.

Thats a nice feeling, aint it?   Gosh, soak that in!  🙂

I havent been around long enough to have gathered this, but it sounds like your doc knows all about your diet?

If so, where does one find a carnivore-friendly doctor?  All mine seem to want to do is tell me I need carbs and statins 😕

this is probably unrelated, but speaking of saliva,  I was at the dentist today and had a fair amount of plaque on my lower teeth right on the inside middles.  she said saliva commonly sits there.  so she said check the ph of my saliva and try to drink ph balanced water.  maybe you might want to get some ph strips and test your saliva?  Im going to do this with the waters i drink.  anyway hope the doc gets you squared away.

Oh my GP loves my results but he hates the fact that I eat a high fat diet. He sees the good results of my blood work but focuses on the (supposedly) high LDL. He just can’t get past the LDL to see how carnivore has benefited me.
On the other hand, my cardiologist loves everything about what I’m doing and supports me. Go figure.

Actually that sounds like something worth looking into. Thanks for that.

It's so weird for me to see creatinine flagged as "low" lol. Your kidneys are in tip top shape!

Thanks Bob. I take that as an expert opinion. [emoji106]
