Many struggle, many help, but at times it is cruel. People on you tube pointing out there is no need for pharmaceuticals. If you are taking any, then we know u are not eating the proper human diet. Broad strokes of the brush. The proper human diet will fix everything.

That is j just one example. Most of the community is very polite, helpful, supportive and even gracious.

I do not like to see anyone treated poorly. At the end of 2025 I pulled all my financial support from all but two carnivore channels. I support this place, I know $0.99 a month is not a lot. I may grow in the future. The other i support is Target Prime Rib, Thomas. I believe he is honest, truthful, sincere, kindhearted and truly cares.

Just as i see it. There are my good individuals in the carnivore space. My funds atr on Thomas this year.

Thank you.

True, people can be dogmatic, which is why some call it the 'carnivore cult' lol. Yes, a lot of people can get off meds, but not everyone. You and me are examples. You with your low production of insulin, and me with my kidney failure resulting in hypertension.

Not necessarily. Maybe it will. Maybe it won't. Remember that Dr. Berry coined the term "Proper Human Diet" and then years later the phrase has been hijacked by carnivore purists to refer to carnivore only. It doesn't. It's a spectrum. Carnivore is just one end of it.

And to that end, Dr. Berry is a reasonable voice in the keto-carnivore community. He's a doctor, and still will recommend that you talk to your doctor about getting on a certain drug. He's not anti-meds by any means.

Other than protein powder as of late I feel like I am strict carnivore. It is meat (mostly red meat), salt and water. I was a non-believer the first month to six weeks as I read about people getting off medicine with their diet. I pretty much had to be hit over the head with it and still it took a few cycles of "this is when I typically need my medicine for pain and inflammation and now I don't need it'. It has worked for me.

I still have an infusion every six months and my neurologist has been one of my biggest supporters. He says he is not completely ready to use meat as a prescription but he does wish a lot of his patients would talk to me and give it a try. (i think, big picture, that is progress). We went over a ton of bloodwork, both mine and others. If I had MS he would stop my infusions as he would consider it no longer and issue based on my labs and health. But, I have NMO, which can lay much more dormant but when/if it returns the relapse is much worse. I can't really imagine things being much worse than 2018. He suggests I remain on the infusion for a while longer but also suggests I continue my current path with my diet and resistance training.

So I don't think eating a proper diet will remove all people from all medicines but I do believe it can help move in that direction. Most carnivores are 40-50+ (based on what little interactions I have with other carnivores) and that automatically translates to close to 50 years of eating horribly. If one believes the poor diet is the cause, a few week or few months might not erase 50 years. After nearly two years (20 months or so) I corrected the need for two medications and maybe in time I will not need the third. I take an infusion every six months and that is the only medicine I take since carnivore. On the right path just not at the very end of 'food vs. pharmaceuticals.

Maybe I am somewhere between being a believer but not ready to drink the kool-aid. LOL

You are exactly right Paul. Like I said on the livestream the other night, I hate these blankets statements from those in our community.

I’m one of the fortunate ones that has been able to get off of all my medications and I wish everyone could but it’s just not a reality for everyone.

Many people come to carnivore thinking that it’s some kind of miracle cure that will fix everything in them but the reality is, carnivore won’t cure anything. Carnivore heals our metabolism which allows our bodies to start healing itself as God intended. Unfortunately, sometimes our bodies are just too broken to heal.

Ty, I have a deep respect for you. As a present day carnivore, I feel like c a pioneer taming the western USA. Basically we eat meat and bet it all.
