Hello fellow carnivores

I am so glad for you Scott. Most of us need to take our health into our own hands and stop relying on doctors who just want to prescribe medication in response to symptoms.

But... but.... didn't people always eat bread?

I read an article last night about our ancestors eating patterns and I normally delete my searches form the work computer. Now I can't find it. I will continue to look as it was quite interesting. I will summarize and paraphrase and I feel like I will get the intent right, but I may butcher the delivery. LOL
We were never meant to have variety in our diet. The proper human diet was based on food that was hunted and killed. The electrolytes (salt) we depend on stemmed more from man learning to preserve meat vs. salt being a seasoning. No cave man sat out early in the morning to kill a chicken, a duck, a pig, a deer all in the same day so there would be variety in that weeks' meals. The reason so many people seem to do better on red meat is that was the hunting objective and not because it was better, or taste better, but it was simply bigger. Walking for distance, setting up, stalking, hunting for several hours for a chicken is not the most efficient way to feed the family/village. The bigger animals happen to be bearers of red meat. And the bigger animal fed more people for longer periods of time.
Now along the way the variety came when the big animal hunt fails or the little animal steps out and becomes an opportunity. Hunters will attest that a deer is not killed on every trip to the woods. If on the big animal hunt a little animal steps out, at least that is a meal for that day. Variety in the meals were not by design but by opportunity.
Fruits and vegetables (and in time bread) were seasonal. The apple tree only bears fruit but so many weeks during the year. And food/diet patterns started to shift based on geographic location. Eskimos were making do with whale blubber while Floridians had oranges for ever so many weeks per year. Alaskan vegetables had a very small window. People adjust.
That was the gist of the article of how a lot of our dietary issues can be linked to our ancestors and where they called home. Similar to Geezy speaking to lactose intolerance amongst different backgrounds last Monday night.
This kinda sort of leans toward and speaks toward the Lion Diet being successful and when people who go from keto to keto-vore to a stricter carnivore approach see more than positive results.
Not exactly from the article but in reading this piece it makes me thing we were sort of pre-dispositioned to eat a certain way. When we find that way the positives are amazing.

Hello fellow carnivores

Neuromyelitis Optics-Spectrum Disorder (called Devic's) a somewhat rare autoimmune disease with basically the same symptoms as Multiple Sclerosis. Lesions which break the myelin exposing the nerve. Whatever nerve that is exposed is intense pain and any of a multitude of issues from bowel movements to loss of mobility, numbness in the extremities, etc, etc. The big difference is NMO most often attacks the optic nerve leaving vision loss/vision impairment. The initial symptoms are similar, the diagnosis pattern is similar and the treatments differ.
I went from being on prednisone and Gabapentin/Neurontin for six years to not being on any daily medication in 4-5-6 weeks. The only change was I went strict carnivore to lose weight. I had no idea there would be other benefits and actually stumbled upon the reduction in inflammation/pain. Just about lottery like for me.
