I'm finally trying it!

[@gldiego]

I am a new subscriber, diagnosed 9 months ago, my life changed completely for the better, food, exercises, stress, I think I am in the best physical moment of my life at 42 years old and MS, Greetings from Argentina.

[@tomgarbett77]

That's great to hear! Sounds similar to me in that I feel better for having the diagnosis and changing my life around for the better! What diet are you on, or just focusing on healthy eating?

[@gldiego]

My neurologists simply said, "Take this medication (Mavenclad) and continue with your normal life," which led me to do some research. I started supplementing with vitamin D3 (20,000 IU weekly), along with daily intake of Omega-3 and magnesium, and regular sun exposure. I significantly reduced (almost entirely) intake of flour, sugars, dairy, and processed products. However, I believe my long night walks and moments of meditation are among the most crucial. Please stay positive; feeling good and knowing the most important things are there!. Keep searching for this way to enjoy the journey

[@tomgarbett77]

Sounds like you've got a great protocol in place! Do the long night walks help with your sleeping? @@gldiego

What an insight into what we eat, doesn’t want you to be eaten! Amazing. Good luck Mr G. Fascinated to see how you get on.

[@tomgarbett77]

Real eye opener isn't it!

[@shawnmcanthony5724]

Carnivore to me is the best. I started the OMS diet ( eating mainly fish) but i found i had low energy and my walking even my work outs i had to struggle.Now that i eat meat which Dr Whals suggested i feel so much better only problem is i still need a cane which i HATE😢 its important to note Dr Whals was a vegetarian long before her ms diagnosis.

[@tomgarbett77]

Good to hear that carnivore has worked for you. Are you ure carnivore or including some fruits and/or veg? Hopefully your body can continue to heal itself and you can get off the cane! If you haven't tried already, then I would suggest trying the lion diet for a period of time. Essentially strict carnivore, only eating beef and ruminant animal meat, organs and seasoning with salt and drinking water. I would be super interested to see what your results would be if you tried that!

[@shawnmcanthony5724]

@@tomgarbett77 well its not strict i do eat other things i just include meat. I eat beans rice bread ( with gluten) I try to stay away from added sugar and exercise everyday.Actually i exercise because i have to not because l love doing it 🤣

[@jzeest]

Happy new year . Diagnosed 6years ago . Nice to see you after so long . Please continue making the videos

[@tomgarbett77]

HNY to you too! Yes it has been a while, but definitely going to be more consistent this year! How are you getting on?

[@celestialblissfulness]

Excited to see how it goes for you! I’m on week 2 and feeling great (lions diet) my brain fog is gone and have hardly felt any MS symptoms. (I’m not on meds) just a little bit of pain here and there but no numbing/tingling or shocks. I skip breakfast and just have lunch and dinner. A rib eye, lamb shoulder, steak or ground beef. It’s boring and I crave so many things but I crave to feel well sooooo much more… oh and fatigue is pretty much gone! This diet so far has just made me feel better day by day

[@tomgarbett77]

Ah that sounds great! I will potentially shift towards a more Lion Diet approach after a couple of weeks, but wanted to ease my body in and include fruits for now. But yeah it might seem boring for now, but having listened a lot to Dr Anthony Chaffee, he saya after a while your cravings shift from taste (like sweet things carbs) to pure satiation and nutrition, so your cravings essentially shift towards wanting that meat that initially might seem a little boring! Be interesting to see if that happens for you

[@celestialblissfulness]

@@tomgarbett77 that’s great! I truly wish you the best and excited to see your positive outcomes. Yes I hope the cravings greatly diminish haha 😆

[@marta.balint]

Hey! Its good to see you back! I started with Ketovore with a new year, slowly transitioning into Carnivore, I immediately felt a difference in my brain performance ,energy levels, happiness, better sleep. The only thing I would really pay attention to are electrolytes. I felt very dehydrated recently, despite supplementing electrolytes. It was causing me some issues, but I hope to manage it soon, once my body adapts to this new way of living. All the best to you and I hope to see great results ! :-)

[@tomgarbett77]

Hey Marta! Good to hear from you. Glad that the carnivore diet is working out for you bar the electrolytes! I know that was the reason that Paul Saladino transitioned to include fuit and honey in his diet. Do you eat a lot of organ meat?

[@marta.balint]

@@tomgarbett77 I don't eat at all, just because its really hard for me to tolerate that taste... :( I take supplements of heart & liver. I decided to include now some fruits and I feel much better!

[@tomgarbett77]

@@marta.balint Yeah the taste of liver isn't great, so good idea that you are supplementing! Also good to hear that adding some fruits in there is really helping you too!

[@jonitavangreune7195]

Also Ms patient for 20 years now. Also hypothyroidism. 1 and half month on carnivore. Feel okay. Not missing all junk food. Can't wait for my steak😅. Want to go off DMT. Had injection last night.... side effects.... no sleep... headaches today. Felt like heavy flu hit me.... do not want to go down that way anymore. Hope this could be helpful for us with MS. Good luck!

[@tomgarbett77]

Hopefully the carnivore diet sorts you out! But yeah I’m just three days in now but really enjoying it and like you I’m not craving junk food at all… it’s almost as if my body doesn’t need it! 😝 are you strict carnivore or eating fruit too?

[@jonitavangreune7195]

@@tomgarbett77 Hi Tom! So glad you jumped on this wagon. I am sure you will be surprised by a lot of things as you reach every stage. I was. Happy you don't crave the 'nasties'. I've been reading and reading so much. Almost every day. Al the doc's, people and med. trials. You will REALLY feel a change in a very short time. I am trying strictly carnivore. Can't seem to put coffee down. There i follow dr Ken Berry😂 Coffee with heaped teaspoon of butter. Try to fast till about 12 ish. Dinner at around six. In begining ate 3 meals now down to 2. But eat when hungry. Only cheat sometimes if i really feel craving (not more than 2x week) i have full fat greek yoghurt with half cup of frozen blackberries. Still new to the game but sure we can do this! We have been through so much already... think we can handle this. As one of drs said, your 'WHY? CRY?'', the reason you're trying carnivore. Good luck for the day! Take it one day at a time!

[@tomgarbett77]

@@jonitavangreune7195 That's great to hear! And yeah I'm feeling great so far and haven't had keto flu or anything yet, so can't wait to see how I feel in a couple of weeks. But yes I'm the same with coffee, I'm simply not willing to give that up! Exactly we can do this, and from long term carnivores, they end up loving how much they feel on the diet that they don't even want to go back to eating other foods, so I'm interested to see if that happens to me!

[@karenpny]

Hi Tom, you're looking very good. Happy New Year! I did the carnivore for about a month - my psoriasis went away completely. I couldn't believeit! (ms has been good on gluten free and unprocessed foods and fitness). But....I love my potatoes 😊 Wish you the best!

[@tomgarbett77]

Happy new year to you too! Wow that’s amazing that it cleared up your psoriasis! Did that not convince you to stay on it for longer or did you just find it too constricted?

[@kevinbush4300]

Ahhh so glad you’re doing this… go carefully though. I tried carnivore about six to eight weeks ago. My MS symptoms were pretty calm, but other aspects of my health really suffered. I’m thinking of going whole-food plant-based but with a day or two of offal… seems to me that might be similar to the Best Bet. Good luck with it… I’ll be watching.

[@tomgarbett77]

That's really interesting, thanks for sharing that insight! What other aspects of your health really suffered if you don't mind me asking? But yes I think that diet you have suggested could be a good fit for you if you tolerate vegetables well. I am trying this diet in case it's the vegetables (plants) that I don't really tolerate!

[@kevinbush4300]

​@tomgarbett77 Hey... thanks for your response, Tom. Sorry for the delay - quite a bit of info to draw together. Iwas diagnosed with relapsing-remitting about two years ago... quite late, i think: i'm in my early 50s and most people with MS are diagnosed by the time they're 40, or so i understand. In any case, I'll assume I'd been suffering some symptoms for a while before. Looking back I'd been having brain fog (which was pretty much constant) and lots of aches and pains (muscular, thoracic, cardiac, pleuritic, gastro intermittently) that I might have been seeing as the ageing process aggravating my medical conditions. My medical history is that I had suffered a deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in my leg, moving to my lungs) when I was 25. It turned out that I have (homozygous) Factor V Leiden, a genetic disorder that makes me prone to blood clots. More specifically, the valves in the veins in my right leg (where I had had the extensive thrombosis) had been damaged resulting in chronic venous insufficiency, which causes the pooling of blood in my leg and the skin quality of my inner calf and shin being severely compromised leading to haemosiderin staining (where blood iron breaks down and precipitates out into the skin) and bad lower leg ulceration. Anyway, I don't like to take drugs so am generally not medicated. I went vegan in 2017 and, in no time at all, at the age of 46, I felt better than I'd felt since my twenties. My veganism lapsed somewhat... initially I had been fairly strictly WFPB, but later slipped into a more convenient regime that fitted my lifestyle, and eventually I had returned to a pretty standard UK diet, though regularly eating vegan meals. Still, the benefits that I thought a whole-food, plant-based diet had given me seemed to persist. I hadn't had an ulcer since turning vegan and the staining was improving with time, and these improvements were maintained even when I was no longer WFPB. In an effort to control my RRMS, I went carnivore about two months ago, but in a fairly short space of time small wounds/ulcers were forming on my leg and the discoloration caused by haemosiderin seemed to rapidly worsen. I also started getting a lot of discomfort in my chest and stomach (pain of sorts, though generally not intense)... this is quite possibly the MS hug, which isn't something I thought I'd really suffered from previously (though, like I mentioned earlier I have had lots of intermittent abdominal discomfort in recent years). So after spending only about a month carnivore, I have reverted to eating a "normal" diet (admittedly not super-healthy) while I consider the options. Ulceration has stopped again, thankfully. Abdominal discomfort still fairly constant.

Good luck. Happy new year!!1🎉
