In a Nutshell

Dr. Robert Abbott is launching the first large randomized clinical trial (160 participants: 80 with IBD, 80 with RA) testing ketogenic and carnivore lion diets against regular diets for improving quality of life and reducing symptoms, with a $450K GoFundMe to fund labs, monitoring, and support—starting early 2026. Participants (new to keto/paleo/carnivore) pay $200 net ($100 refunded on completion), get 3-6 months of guided dieting, blood/stool tests, ketosis monitors, and community access; control group switches diets after 3 months. Motivated by speaker's remission of juvenile RA via diet after failed meds and surgeries, the study aims to validate dietary interventions for autoimmunity. Donate, apply, or share via links.

Announcing the launch of the very first and extremely large randomized clinical study on the carnivore diet, specifically the lion diet, the ketogenic diet, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). After years of noting that tens of thousands of people are putting their incurable illnesses into remission on an all-meat diet, a fantastic doctor, Dr. Robert Abbott, a medical doctor, reached out to run the study with his team.

Set up a GoFundMe to support the study; every single dollar sent will go to the study only. The study costs about $450K, inexpensive for its size. University-affiliated studies quoted $2-3 million. Most money goes towards actual labs for participants. Looking for 160 people: 80 with IBD and 80 with RA. Researchers paid an extremely modest salary; they're inclined and interested, covering six months of serious work. GoFundMe linked to fund a well-organized six-month study that might change thousands of lives and mainstream medical views on dietary intervention. Consider donating, sharing, or applying.

Personal Funding Commitment

Haven't asked to rally behind a cause before, but this is different and extremely dear. Family will cover whatever is left over to get the study done. Study getting done one way or another, but appreciate help to avoid criticism of funding bias. Study run by separate team.
