My Carnivore Discovery
Summary: For about 5 years I experienced “peripheral neuropathy,” arthritis, and atherosclerosis. As these progressed I started waking in the middle of the night to shake my arms so blood and oxygen would flow to my arms, hands and fingers.
These problems miraculously improved when I switched to the Carnivore Lifestyle.
Video is cued to the point where Phil Escott explains how his arterial scans done in his 50’s, when he was a Vegan, showed developing atherosclerosis from plaque, which is the result of oxalates, bound to calcium, clogging arteries. Later in his 60’s while Phil was eating the Carnivore – Lion Diet, his scans show his arteries are clear!
History:
In my late 20’s I realized that processed foods and chemicals were unhealthy so for most of my adult life I ate some meat and all whole foods including (unfortunately) plants.
In my late 50’s I was misguided by “Hallelujah Acres” eating vegan and ate that way for about a year during which I developed a progressive problem in which I would wake in the middle of the night with pain in my arms and numbness in my hands making it necessary to shake my arms to restore blood flow. In addition, at age 65 the middle finger on my left hand hooked sharply in the morning and was painful to straighten.
Luckily then, on July 11th 2023 I saw this video: Phil Escot on the Charlie Ward show. Phil Escot is a drummer and a former vegan who had even written veganism books; but then switched to Carnivore when arthritis crippled his ability to perform with the drums. He began eating the “Lion Diet” consisting of only fatty ruminant meat including beef, lamb, bison, venison, salt and water which turned his life around and he was able to drum again.
I was convinced, so I switched to an all-animal based diet including: Eggs, Fish, Chicken, BBB&E (Beef, Butter, Bacon and Eggs) – as carnivores call it, and noticed immediate improvement. Within a few days my hooked finger in the morning was gone, and I began to sleep through the night without waking to shake my arms for restored blood flow. I was inflammation-pain free!
Aware that I had found the “Proper Human Diet,” in November of 2023 I progressed to the more strict “Lion Diet” espoused by Phil Escot, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, and Mikala Peterson.
I believe my year of vegan eating exacerbated problems because my “gut” wall became more more permeable, causing unusual quantities of oxalates and other plant toxins to enter my bloodstream, these oxalates were then sequestered in bones, ligaments, and muscles and arteries to keep them from doing immediate harm. Ultimately these toxins cause tissue inflammation (because the body is always working to rid itself of poisons). I reached the point where the inflammation called arthritis developed, and the first clear sign of that was my morning hooked finger.
Update: I’m now almost 2 years a lion diet carnivore and my vitality continues to improve. I didn’t mention this yet but prior to eating carnivore I was having terrible bouts of vertigo, but that completely ended the since I started eating carnivore.
So – I’m extremely glad I had the arthritis, since that it woke me to seek the Carnivore way of eating. Some of the healthiest, smartest and youngest-looking people I’ve seen are those who have lived most, or all, of their lives eating only meat.
It’s apparent to me that the Carnivore lifestyle appropriate and perfect for improving health and longevity, and it’s the Ancestrally correct diet for humans.
