James H. Salisbury (1823–1905) was an American physician and chemist known for his advocacy of a meat-centered diet to promote health, and the term Salisbury steak for a ground beef patty served as the main course has been used in the United States since 1897.

 

Just ran across this and thought that I would post it. I find it interesting that eating a meat-based diet was thought of back in the 1800's. Lived a long life as well.

Even n the 50's it was called the 'meat only diet' and some even called it the Stone Age diet'. "Carnivore" is just the newest name and this one markets incredibly well. I think Dr. Shawn Baker gets a lot of the credit for the name. He wrote a book and the name took off from there. But I am sure the diet has been used for years but with different names.

Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Eric Berry and Dr. Chaffee offer some really good information on their You tube videos. The diet showed great successes with the Multiple Sclerosis community many years ago. It was called the "red meat and water diet" which would be a tough sell marketing wise. 

Good luck as you move forward.

I believe they were using it to treat epilepsy back in the early 1900’s.
