Carnivore/Lion Diet Update: Not Carnivore Anymore?
In a Nutshell
After 8 years on the strict Lion diet (ruminant meat, salt, water) to manage lifelong juvenile idiopathic arthritis and bipolar type 2, successful treatment of H. pylori, parasites, candida, and chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) from mold enabled reintroduction of foods like arugula, avocado, berries, salmon, and sweet potatoes without autoimmune flares or psychiatric symptoms—proving actual healing beyond remission. Key failures included probiotics, IV NAD, and most vitamins; successes were parasite antibiotics, folinic acid, DAO enzymes, saunas, KPV peptide, and HVAC upgrades like ERV + SuperV filters for fresh air. She's launching the world's largest Lion/keto study on RA/IBD remission and now eats mostly meat + cooked greens while staying ketogenic.

Can't call herself a carnivore anymore after reintroducing foods. Heal the gut, add foods back in was the theory, but it was not easy. First time in over 8 years able to eat anything other than ruminant meat without triggering autoimmune or psych disorder. Carnivore diet puts vast majority into remission and actual healing is possible. Needed more help than just eating meat and avoiding dietary triggers. Covers 10 years of efforts, what worked, reduced sensitivities, what didn't, reintroduction experience, and tips.
Eight years on carnivore diet, specifically Lion diet: only ruminant meat (beef or lamb), salt, water. Started to treat severe psychiatric issues (bipolar type 2 with major depression) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis since age 2, causing hip and ankle replacement at 17 despite immunosuppressive treatment.
Right before 8 years, started slowly reintroducing foods without major reactions—no arthritic flare-ups or mood issues. Eight years minus a few months. Means actual healing possible, not just remission on diet. Theory on lioniet.com: Lion diet as elimination diet for symptom relief while pursuing root cause. Took 8 years; felt like pipe dream or permanent meat diet, but wanted to address ongoing problem.
Launched world's largest keto and carnivore study on Lion diet and keto diet impact on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Run by separate medical team. GoFundMe linked below; donations tax-deductible. At $160,000 funded, need $300,000 more—inexpensive for study size. Studies hard to organize/fund without pharma backing. Support from community, doctors, researchers. Her case study: eating non-meat without arthritis after 8 years. Funding shortfall covered by business (Peterson Academy). Apply if in America, diagnosed RA/IBD by doctor, haven't tried keto/carnivore: get coaching, tests, results. Links in description/GoFundMe/last video. Could change autoimmunity treatment; current system ineffective.
