Great visit with my Neurologist today

[Scott F.]

Today was my follow up appointment. I had traded emails over the past few months. In the emails she seemed genuinely interested in the Carnivore approach but that failed in comparison to the visit today. As i was walking in she and another Neurologist were talking and I heard 'animal based diet'. I didn't know they were talking about me. 

She came in and asked if the other Neurologist could sit in on the visit. The conversation covered my start in May til now. They both asked a number of questions about what I eat, how I feel and the correlation between the diet, the weight loss and the coming off the medicine for inflammation. 

I have read many non-doctor you-tubers say how doctors do not actually study nutrition and just go off what has been 'put out' by the fraternity. My Neurologist actually said it out loud. She told me she had become really interested in the carnivore approach in the MS community and its affects. 

So interested, she wants me to drop her emails every week or so documenting my progress/setbacks, whatever, just general information. 

It was a really good visit.

Whoop whoop..Scott this is fantastic news .  

Very happy for you and the Dr's that attended to today.

That’s great. So many doctors are so mainstream and closed minded that they aren’t willing to learn. 
It sounds like you’ve got a good one there.

It's a relief isn't it? It's why I am more willing to deal with a nurse practitioner than a doctor. They have more time to listen and are less indoctrinated.

A little more good news as well.

In six+ months I have dropped 77lbs and have been off medications after three to four weeks on carnivore. 

My immunoglobulin numbers made a pretty good shift across the board. The sets that have been regularly low moved up, some by as much as 15%. Meaning my immune system is working better, more as normal. The sets that had been high (overly active immune system, attacking good proteins vs. bad) those numbers dropped across the board. Instead of having 4 or 5 sets out of their respective range, I now only have two, with one being low and one being high. 

I thought the neurologist was genuinely engaged with me and carnivore yesterday, today's conversation was even more so. 

My numbers have been jacked up since I got sick in 2018. I went on a couple trash diets and lost as much as 30lbs but zero affect to the NMO/SD. Fast forward to 2024. I went on Carnivore in May and the immunoglobulin numbers moved a little but nothing major after three months. Fast forward another three months and several of the numbers made a shift to the positive. I lost a bunch of weight, but the only real change is the change in diet. 

So now the doctor would like to touch base on a weekly/bi-weekly basis to keep check on changes as they play out. She is now doing a deep dive into the Carnivore lifestyle. 

She is the doctor, and I am giving her places to do research, learn, become familiar with some of the approaches.

My Google/youtube degree is finally paying off. LOL
