This time last year I considered crypto without much knowledge and decided to have a consultation with a fiduciary, and it was incredibly insightful. I got into the market with 15k, One year and a couple of months in, and I'm up with 550k. I truly cannot stress enough how helpful experts in this field are!

My 13 year old daughter and I have started the carnivore diet this week. Already have noticed weight loss, joint pain gone, and whites of the eyes are brighter, and digestion has improved. Even though its the holidays I have not had any temptation for any sweets or treats. So happy to have come across your channel. Looking forward to more results and better health ❤ Thank you for your information and your followers for all of their feedback.🙏

[@zamfirtoth6441]

It's the same story with MOST of the big charities, foundations, non profits, etc. Many are also cesspools of corruption that take advantage in many ways of the most needy, vulnerable people. I gotta be careful of the words I use on the utubes.

The body doesn’t make mistakes, it just reacts to what we do to it.

Exactly

[@donpowers8726]

Yes. It is all about chemistry. The body is a very complex chemical processing plant. When you get the chemistry right you thrive. Get the chemistry wrong and you die. Correctness in your chemistry has a wide window, therefore you have to experiment to find your place in the window.

66 y/o Carnivore B12 deficient, prior prediabetes for 35 years, nerve damage and limited mobility. How much B12 is too much?

[@betterplacetobe7896]

When looking at vitamin B12 levels, it’s hard to say how much is too much. The vitamin is water-soluble, meaning it’s generally safe at high levels because the body flushes out what it doesn’t use with water.

[@Alison7357]

I recently heard Dr. Chaffee say that between 1100 and 1600 PMOL/L (Picamoles per milliliter) is where you want your B12 to be.

[@Marco-iz1lu]

Los seres humanos evolucionaron como cazadores-recolectores, y durante cientos de miles de años, la carne fue la base de nuestra dieta.

Thank You! Something to add to your mention of Red Cross selling donated blood: I stopped donating some years ago after requesting my blood results, other than iron and blood pressure at the time of donation, multiple times but turned down. I eventually spoke with someone with authority expressing my thoughts of allowing donors to sign and even pay a processing fee to see an online blood panel but the request again turned down. Having worked in medical labs for years and touring through Red Cross facility I know the extensive processing required to ensure safe blood is distributed to needy recipients. The signed waiver would acknowledge the panel is for information only and not to be used for diagnosing any conditions. The fee could be something like $25 which would be more than enough to allow downloading private information using the bar code on every donation and kept in a file. I believe the RC would see an increase in donations but I sense a pushback from the medical community in falsely fearing loss of money.

It’s interesting to me that you brought up your organic chemistry class as where you found out why trans fats are bad. I learned the same thing in organic chemistry class in 1991.

After my gallbladder was removed, I acquired BAD...bike acid diarrhea. Research that before you decide.

Eating fatty foods after a long period of Low Fat will often cause Gall Bladder issues especially if there any gall stones. Back off on fats for a while and reintroduce fats slowly.

[@sneni29]

Patience!

[@Liveforalongtime]

Don’t have it removed, ease up on the gats and reintroduce gradually. Dr Chaffee has covered this in depth. Check his files for his advice.

[@marildatuomala1820]

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. YOU WOULD BE AWESOME TO GET IT.

[@christapovec]

Dr. Chaffee can you do a short or a longer discussion on what you mean by having an incessant craving for carbs even if you’re eating enough meat must be rooted in a chemical dependency?

[@andyc7747]

Add more fat, Try butter. It is essential to get enough fat to trigger the satiety hormone. Once your body knows it has all it's nutrients it won't give you hunger signals. Adequate protein and fat is crucial.

Hi!

[@carolp5968]

Good evening from Austria! Q: I've been carnivore/ketovore over a year now. I can't get rid of cramping in my legs & feet around dawn every morning, and also sometimes in my hands when grabbing onto things or in my stomach when bending over. I eat enough salt, and supplement with a quality Magnesium complex 500 mg. and Potassium around 1200 mg. and try to stay hydrated. Any suggestions?

[@ultramiddle4991]

Your list is identical to mine, having excess scar tissue in my abdomen and SI joint plus surgery in that area and a couple other causes. The abdominal muscle cramps :I thought I was the only one to have them. Wow.My nighttime neuropathy, leg, foot, hand, and abdominal cramps 95% vanish overnight when I eliminate all plant matter (except cocoa powder)salt, and carbonated water. Fatty meat miraculously let me sleep and garden without all the spasms, especially the abdominal ones which stop me from moving or taking in a breath. Please share with me what works for you

Try OMAD or at least making sure one of your meals has lot of protein. That helped me.

[@betterplacetobe7896]

Possible cause Abnormal levels of electrolytes or minerals in the body Damage to a single nerve or nerve group (mononeuropathy) or multiple nerves (polyneuropathy) that are connected to muscles Dehydration (not having enough fluids in your body) Thyroid disorders Too little vitamin D Use of certain medicines Hopefully this helps

[@sneni29]

Maybe you are takong too much of supplements? Take it easy with potassium, eat fatty meat and liver once a week, drink water - too much of any extras can make you cramp

[@carolp5968]

I forgot to mention that I started taking 3-to-4000 I.E. of D3 with K2 daily to boost my immune system at the beginning of the pandemic. Haven't had a cold or flu since 2019! I'm not at all overweight, but do have controlled asthma, which is why I started Carnivore in the first place last June. Transitioned partially to Ketovore several months ago, which means I now eat a few low carb veggie several times a week - mainly to appease my skeptical husband. Too bad I couldn't have dropped a hundred pounds (as I weigh 125) to convince him that Carnivore works!

[@nobody3692]

Hey Doc, does it make any sense to avoid red meat & fat after experiencing a concussion (or any head trama) ? My boss is still having issues after almost 3 weeks and the main take away for recovery is to avoid red meat & fats..

[@isabelrodriguez6717]

He is avoiding precisely what he should enhance. He needs nutrients with a high density of fat and protein and he will only find that in products of animal origin.

[@isabelrodriguez6717]

He can also include fatty fish like salmon and sardines

Diet was truly carnivore or were there some sugars or sneaky carbs? Eating enough calories? Incredibly hard/long workouts? The possibility also exists that you are active enough that your body does better with carbs. I'm curious about your and others experiences like this.

I had to go on 200-300% RDA of Magnesium just not go to the hospital and have the concrete tubes carved out of me. I never never knew what constipation was until Carnivore 2.)
