new to canivore diet - any known issues with this diet while on pembro immunotherepy for melanoma?

Scott F. replied to dave's topic in General Health and Wellness Discussion

I take Rituxan every six months for an auto-immune disease called Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder. It is an immunotherapy drug. Once I was on carnivore I came off the daily prednisone and Neurontin. It took maybe 4-5-6 weeks and I no longer needed those two medications. I have been on a strict carnivore diet for 14 months and have seen no issue with 'carnivore and immunotherapy'. I always suggest talking with your doctor, as I am not a doctor and the only medical degree I have is via youtube and Google, and I am sure they don't count. LOL Carnivore has been a super positive experience for me. Zero regrets and pretty much zero negatives. I'm 55 off medicine, lost 95 pounds and will soon have a conversation with the Neurologist about stopping the immunotherapy. My AQP-4 and Igg and IgA numbers have drastically improved since going carnivore. Talk to your doctors. Some will be understanding of your diet choice and some, not so much. And some, will even preach against it. My Neurologist says he is not exactly ready to medically recommend carnivore for his patients but seeing my successes he wishes some of his other patients would give me a call. Believe it or not that is a lot of progress withing the medical community. Welcome to the board. The carnivore is working for me, and I do a six hour infusion every six months of Rituxan. (I don't know how that translates to your particular medicine, so you will have to do the leg work....) Good luck. And welcome. Scott

dave posted a topic in General Health and Wellness Discussion

Hi all! I have recently had a melanoma removed from my parotid gland and have been put on pembro immunotherepy for a year to make sure its all dealt with. I have just turned 50, I want to lose a few pounds and also give my body the best chance to keep the ol' cancer at bay. A few weeks ago I thought I would do a test run with the carnivore diet for a week and was very strict with it for the full 7 days. I cant lie, after 2 days I was getting bored of eating just meat and eggs but I set the goal and followed through with it. I did lose a few pounds, probably just water weight but I'll take that anyway - I was only having 2 meals a day but both were very filling. When I stopped the diet I noticed immediately how bloated I felt going back to bread and pasta etc. So I wanted to check in with all you who have stuck to it with a couple of questions if that's ok? Does anyone have any knowledge of the effects of the carnivore diet whilst on immunotherepy, if any at all? My original oncologist (he has now retired) just said to eat 'normally' and I have yet to speak to his replacement for any advice. I am not sure when that will be, hopefully very soon. Unfortunately the chemo/immunotherrepy nurses cant give any advice on these matters- they couldn't confirm if I was immuno compromised when getting a live vaccine for my dog let alone offer any information on this subject. Would a keto/carnivore diet in itself be of benefit for me with regards to either preventing the return of or fighting existing cancer? Also, how do you chaps deal with the monotony of meals? What sources for recipes would you recommend ? I am in the u.k. and decent cuts of meat can be very expensive so any pointers on cheaper meats would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give! Dave

27 Days In — Still Struggling with Digestion, Appetite, and Energy

ketomonster replied to Norbu's topic in Introduce Yourself & Welcome to the Tribe!

I 've watched all 37,527 no carb life interviews and some people say they struggled for awhile. It seems pretty common for those with health problems to take longer to feel better. Low energy.. don't feel like beef? eat butter! We know here carnivore is cheaper than SAD. I can say you're on the right track, don't doubt your decision. Muscle through the discomfort you'll thank yourself later.

dunno, I don't use premixed protein drinks there's probably to much sugar etc. in them. I get some non flavored powder measure out the amount of protein I want and mix it in a bowl with a raw egg or a little water into a soupy consistency like oatmeal.

Yep. 3 guys 2 racks. Everyone hot racks til you gain some seniority. I did sub school after A school. C school for a bit, to the boat, then to dive school in Panama City, then to the shipyards, then to another boat and then got out in 93. It was 2,192 days not that I started counting around a 1000 nor did I keep a logbook counting down days describing every which way I felt like the Navy was not for me. I realized it was not for me when I arrived at the recruit depot for boot camp all the way til I got out 6 years later. I had a ton of fun with the people I served with, met some of the wildest and most dependable people in the world. And as much as I disliked things it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Odd to say, I hated it so much but would not change one minute. Yep, bubble head. Scott
