Post best question or testimony with #ribeye for blue Healing Humanity shirt.
Linda: Has anyone heard of bulging disc healing on carnivore?
Carrie interviewed David Reid: before/after CT scans showed three degenerative discs growing back. Carrie had herniated disc in neck; carnivore helps pain via reduced inflammation, but healing takes time; combine with physical therapy.
Paw Beater gifted five Homestead How memberships. Members-only live stream Thursdays at 3 PM; 100% proceeds to Healing Humanity Project.
Penny: Has sciatic pain been healed on carnivore with stretching, chiropractic, massage?
Anatomical spine issue impinging sciatic nerve; carnivore reduces inflammation and pain but may not fix impingement. Multifactorial approach: chiropractic, stretching, massage, carnivore diet for healing.
Ashley had sciatic pain pre-carnivore; one minor flare-up on carnivore. Recommends YouTube tennis ball stretches. Improved disc density (per David Reid) could reduce nerve pressure over time.
Barb on cruise, technical issues from choppy Wi-Fi. Gearing up for move to 28-acre property; packing house, move delayed two weeks while she's in South Carolina.
Melissa: Can people be allergic to beef?
Adam: Alpha-gal syndrome from tick bite causes allergic reaction to beef (diagnosed by doctor). Aged/high-histamine meat can mimic allergy.
Lynn: Acute intermittent porphyria contraindicates carnivore (rare). Connect with Emily Penton for therapies (needling) to eat beef again. Could be aversion, not allergy. Non-beef carnivore (other meats/fish) still better than standard diet. Jen overcame meat aversion.
How much fermented food daily?
Ashley: Not needed; went 1000 days carnivore without. Benefits some with gut issues (his Barrett's esophagus, bleeding ulcers, antibiotics). Eats spoonful homemade A2/A2 yogurt.
Lynn: No fermented foods (high histamine); 3 years carnivore, gut amazing. Individual.
Chris Sterns super chat: When is Adam doing something? (Funds Healing Humanity series, #ribeye). Adam in Florida watching dolphins; others freezing.
Paul Clark: Kelly Hogan's video on ChatGPT before/after age progression (eye-opening).
Day 6 refeeding after 37-day water fast: Better way to prepare body for carnivore?
Start slow with bone broth or collagen to avoid digestive upset; wake up gut gradually. Becky did 40-day fast; Dr. Nelson 21 days.
Lori Carnivore Cheer: Grateful no meat issues; carb/sugar addiction pushed meat aside.
Best alternative to ribeye for less cost?
Ashley: Chuck eye from chuck roast ($4.99-$5.99/lb vs ribeye). Cut thick roasts into steaks. Look for chuck eye piece off ribeye end in grocery store. Videos by Carrie, Ashley, Laura Spath on identifying/cooking chuck roast (6+ ways).
Tammy: Meetup in Wisconsin?
Carrie: Soon, after documentary final cut (tomorrow/next day with color/sound). Big announcements including premiere and Wisconsin meetup.
New to carnivore: Take on cream cheese?
Barb: Delicious; eat enjoyable foods starting out, remove later if issues. Easy transition.
Carrie: No restrictions initially (psychological/physiological transition). Eat any carnivore food to sustain.
Lynn: Helps ensure enough calories (meat satiating, risks metabolism tank); opens appetite. Fat (butter) in evening curbs food noise/cravings.
How long should shifting pain/oxalate dumping/detox continue after months? Redo meals without hidden nasties?
Can continue off/on for years. Keep diet clean, drink fluids.
Adam: Varies (1 month to 5 years) by prior diet, metabolic health. Sally Norton book Toxic Superfoods has tips to throttle: green tea or oxalate foods (e.g., black pepper) to slow dumping. Eliminate hidden nasties; N=1 test if symptoms oxalates vs other.
Lynn: Sally lists high-to-low oxalate foods. Green tea relief indicates oxalate dump; else maybe histamines/other detox.
Ashley draws winner: Marian wins blue Healing Humanity shirt.
How can Marian claim prize?

Initially on carnivore, kidneys adjust: increased creatinine, decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as they adapt to processing protein. Some see increased uric acid. BUN stays normal. Body becomes efficient utilizing protein and amino acids; levels stabilize. Many heal from kidney disease despite doctors warning against high protein—science does not support harm.
9th month strict carnivore: hard time falling asleep despite tiredness; eats butter at night and on waking.
- Improve sleep hygiene: pre-sleep routine, manage stress, avoid blue light.
- Magnesium glycinate in evening.
- Melatonin.
- Screens off.
- Cortisol management: breathing exercises for parasympathetic nervous system (e.g., Wim Hof breathing via YouTube put her to sleep quickly).
- Consider caffeine sensitivity (more potent without carbs).
- Not eating too late.
- Check daily intake: ensure eating enough nourishment during day.
None count calories:
- Pay attention to food volume, vary day-to-day (focus on healing first, then maintenance).
- Track protein and fat amounts to meet body needs.
- Eat till comfortably stuffed, stop when full—appeal of carnivore.
Reasons not to:
- Hunger/satiety signals return on carnivore.
- Calories not great energy measure; reminiscent of diet culture.
- Listen to body.
- Metabolic rate improves (e.g., from ~1100-1300 to 1600 as body utilizes fuel better); needs vary daily.
Stories of Tourette's improvement. For teen, work with what child will do: educate on ketones for fuel, start keto, monitor improvements to self-motivate stricter carnivore.
Minimum 90 days, ideally 6 months+ depending on healing needed. High fat (80-85% calories, not volume) for myelin sheath repair. Improvements: inflammation drop in ~30 days; full functional recovery varies (e.g., Adam's 6-year-old brain injury resolved in 5 months, others up to 2 years). Start for other benefits; continue long-term. > "It should be front page news. It is absolutely incredible what will heal when you eat a proper human diet."
Stories exist (search YouTube: carnivore + condition). Improves vascular system: healthier endothelium vs. glucose damage. Dr. Berg video on topic. Helps insulin resistance, blood sugar, blood pressure; prevents new ones. Varicose veins are collateral vessels from pressure/stiffening.
Adam: His resolved in 5 months (6-year-old injury, started for autoimmune). Others 1-2 years. Minimum 6 months, ideally 1-2 years. Improves life overall.
Charleston, SC, February 21st: Dr. Kilson, Dr. Nelson, Mimi Morgan (Parkinson's, stroke, RA, bedridden— healed), Lynn, Ribeye Ranger Jim, Adam. Link: healinghumanity.me/event.
Examples: Lindsay (sleeve/lap band?), Amy (gastric bypass). Adapt: small amounts slowly (meals over 2 hours), eat more often, adjust fat to avoid dumping. Both succeeded, lost weight.
- Well-rounded electrolytes: sodium, potassium, magnesium glycinate (depletion from urination/inflammation loss).
- Bloodwork for deficiencies (inexpensive).
- Consider histamines (high-histamine foods cause palpitations; worse on carnivore).
Buy quality sardines in water (check label: actual sardines, not other fish). Sauté in butter if new to them. House smells like fish (ate outside). Good quality costs more.
- Be the example.
- Occasional video links/texts.
- Find relatable voice (e.g., Emma for teens vs. Carrie; doctors for some).
- Upcoming documentary: emotional healing stories (not science-heavy); tickets soon for theaters. Watched 7x; huge impact. 2400+ donors funded to share with skeptics.
- You've done your part; they may come around. Bring to Healing Humanity event.
Every meal: runny nose, itchy eyes/face (worsening).
Check out the Midlife Carnivore channel for a thorough video on eating a low histamine carnivore diet, which covers details on higher histamine foods in carnivore. If experiencing significant histamine issues with hyper-reactive mast cells, take H1 and H2 blockers temporarily to settle them down, combined with learning about histamine triggers like seasoning, freshness of food, and egg whites. Connect for extra help if needed.
