If you think you have CIRS, but you aren’t able to afford the treatments, eating a carnivore diet while also getting extra sun exposure and eating omega 3s (seafood!) does help some people to feel relief from symptoms. Removing yourself from an environment with mold and avoiding excess environmental and dietary toxins is never a bad idea, but I know it’s not always an easy fix. And if none of that gets your symptoms to go away, PLEASE know that there are ways to make the Shoemaker protocol more doable. THERE IS HOPE, and you don't have to be a millionaire to find healing by using this protocol. ❤

Confused, I question why if my arteries are clean. He said that I have high cholesterol and I should take it. I said that makes no sense and there is no way I will take that stuff...

[@jorty.]

Don't take it. Stupid doctor. I saw such stories more often. They have zero clue about the truth of cholesterol. Statins do not work on small density LDL and that is the one involved in plaque. High LDL isn't an issue if it's mostly high density LDL(large particles). Also ratio triglycerides and HDL should be, according to the carnivore docs, 1:1 or 1:2. That is a healthy ratio. Dr Ovadia did a great video on cholesterol with I think butter gal.

I have lost at least three sizes in my clothing over the past 10 years, from a high of 198 before my thyroid malfunction was discovered (could have been higher at a time when I was avoiding the scale), down to now an easily maintained 135-139 range.

Here is something I discovered is Arteriosclerosis Plaque build up is always on the arteries. As blood moves around the body it leaves the heart and is rich in cholesterol and HDL (Good) as the cells are full as they travel around the system and deposit the cholesterol the cells get smaller and when almost empty become LDL (Bad)... But here is the thing. Blood returns via the Veins so two observations. The plaque build up is always in the Arteries never the Veins. And blood tests are always taken from the Veins which is by nature higher in LDL. The arteries are the High pressure side of your circulatory system and are more prone to stress and damage so it makes sense that all the damage and repair via plaque takes place. So that begs the question why no plaque buildup on the veins which carry the LDL back to be refilled. LDL are like fire fighters. And if you seen a forest fire and firefighter arriving to put it out would you conclude that every time you see a forest fire and fire fighters that the firefighters caused the fire? Because every time you see a fire they are present. Is Veinialsclerosis even an issue?

[@1-QuackUp-Now]

Now that’s and interesting idea. If your theory is true, then it would be interesting to get some data there.

[@graememcelligott8874]

Haven't you answered your own question? Cholesterol particles don't *cause* plaque buildups, but provide the substrate by penetrating blood vessel walls, so when damage occurs they are affected by the immune response. The higher pressures in the arteries mean that damage is more likely there and less likely in veins. I believe that damaged vein walls can also develop plaques. While I obviously am no expert, I don't think it's the carnivore diet as such that is protecting anyone from CVD, but rather a range of other factors that help mediate inflammatory responses. Surely if one has high levels of LDL (or ApoB) then the risk of particles lodging in artery walls increases.

Because the lipid core volume is modifiable, but not necessarily the fibrotic and calcified cap, short of any invasive procedure, there are no known preventive measures (both lifestyle and medical) that can decrease your coronary artery calcium score. Furthermore, with some of these preventative measures, the score can actually increase as the lipid core is decreased.

It isn't instant and it isn't everyone. Some report their CAC continues to rise though slower compared to SAD. I really would like a proper study as there are enough varied reports to beg the question of what the variable is. Is it still diet, just undeclared by the poster? Is it local such as air/water/food quality available? Is it hereditary as different ethnicities are more or less compatible with different fuel sources. I would love to know more.

From other experts I've seen and read, cholesterol is one of the body's responses to damage - so it won't cling to your artery walls unless - THE ARTERIES ARE DAMAGED. So if you have those nice arteries, the cholesterol will just whisk by and head to a damaged area to help out there. If someone is still releasing oxalates, there will still be a few damaged areas until all the sharp oxalate particles are out of their system.

I might get a follow up CAC done in a few years but the better I feel the less eager I am to have it done (it takes some effort to get it done, having to take tablets for 3 days prior to reduce the heart rate and then arrange for someone to drive me there and home).

Hi there beautiful souls. When I first heard of Carnivore and listened to all these podcasts I tried it for 4 months. Nothing happened visibly, not one pound, and I had 22 to drop. Fatty Liver issues for min 15 years, maybe my whole life. The carnivore did help my liver. I learned about Prolonged Fasting and the day I did my 1st 36 hour fast 12 pounds melted right off and hasn't come back. I started Rebounding 10 minutes to 45 minutes 5 days/week, and I was lifting weights. Rebounding flushes the entire Lymph System, nothing strips fat and builds muscle faster than rebounding and cold water 2-3 min. So now that I am at a weight I love and my body looks SOOO much better, I am going to be adding in more red meat. If you stick to it and are consistent you will see results. Since you can not see under the skin, you have to study what subtle signs the body gives you when your organs and blood are not healthy. You need to learn about gastrointestinal and what poop means, color, shape, smell. The gut is the second brain, and the microbiome in your gut must be healthy. You need to eat the right foods for you that turn off the bad microbiome and turn on the good microbiome! I've also learned that brain health is the root cause of the symptoms in the body. If the brain has untreated trauma,, 20 plus years later, You will be experiencing a lot of health issues in your body, from joints, to sleep to, you name it. Stop eating processed foods and sugar. Get your brain checked, any trauma from your life like sports, car accidents, birth, whatever is the root cause. Also, get a good chiropractor who aligns your spine! If you are in Colorado there is a place called Life Springs Family Chiro that treats the brain too. GAME CHANGER! If you have symptoms like cramps when your body is trying to balance its metabolic health when you end the inflammatory lifestyle, that means your brain needs the Neurofeedback I am talking about. The brain grows first and then the spine and entire Nervous system. Don't overlook your brain health! The standard American diet put so much stress on the body, and the organ that takes the brunt of it is your brain.

Are you eating enough ? Your body won't go into fat burning if your not eating enough ..Eat twice a day & wat until you are full meat & fat.. Try doing BBBE BEEF BUTER BACON & EGGS .. Don't skimp on fat its essential for your energy your hormones & metabolism ❤❤❤

Losing 55 lbs in a year is a big deal. Keep doing what you're doing. You can try to eat less fat or more. Try to fast at least 16 hours. Be patient with yourself. Keep going. Don't give up.
