Teaching Carnivore to an Entire Amish Community!
In a Nutshell
A 17-year-old Amish girl stopped life-threatening seizures after starting carnivore eating and tracking ketones/glucose with a Keto Mojo device, prompting her community to invite the speaker to teach roughly 30 people. The core teaching stresses that ketones fuel healing, autophagy clears damaged cells during extended fasts, and mental stress must be released for recovery to continue. The speaker also notes that eliminating all plant foods and non-meat expenses makes carnivore cheaper while delivering more energy and clarity than most people realize.

The Amish community is seeking information about the carnivore diet after a 17-year-old girl who suffered severe seizures experienced healing. The community wants to understand the approach and apply it for their own health.
Fifteen years ago, the speaker and Jen pulled a couple from a burning car. The vehicle had leaking fluids with fire on the ground. Larry located a rock and broke out a window. Two oxygen tanks were visible in the back, with the woman dependent on oxygen. The rescuers considered their own children while extracting the couple and tanks to safety. Flames engulfed the front of the car within seconds of their escape. The man's four daughters were cited as motivation for demonstrating right action. The speaker shares the account not for recognition but to illustrate the profound satisfaction of saving lives when positioned to help.
Many carnivores recognize the healing benefits of this way of eating and desire to share it broadly. However, most people resist such help. This situation differs because the community actively seeks the information.
Jen provided Vera, a 17-year-old in William's community experiencing life-threatening seizures, with a Keto Mojo device. The device was delivered approximately one month prior. William contacted the speaker and Jen urgently, initially appearing somber before smiling and reporting Vera was doing incredible. He stated the device saved her. Vera confirmed she was doing great with no further seizures.
Jen and the speaker have visited the Amish community multiple times, distributing additional Keto Mojos and teaching metabolic health principles. Irvin and Ella requested a Keto Mojo, which was provided through a gift from Butter Bob Briggs. William invited the speaker to teach approximately 30 Amish people about the carnivore diet, which was accepted immediately.
Hippocrates stated that all disease begins in the gut, and physicians take the oath to let food be thy medicine. Modern incentives prioritize profit through pills, medications, injections, and surgeries rather than addressing root nutritional causes.
The video is sponsored by Labcorp On Demand. Viewers can access 20% off selected lab tests at tryLCO.com/homestead using code homestead. The speaker uses the service for men's health, testosterone, lipid panels, inflammation markers, insulin resistance, and vitamin levels. Results are available through an online portal that tracks trends over time.
The keto diet has been used for over 100 years, possibly approaching 200 years, to treat seizures. The body can be powered by ketones or glucose. Newborns enter ketosis naturally. Historical eating patterns involved feasting on hunted meat and fat followed by fasting periods lasting one to four days, contrasting with modern grazing of four to six meals daily.
Three years prior, the speaker weighed approximately 100 pounds more, experienced severe depression, sleep apnea, snoring, brain fog, and stomach pain after eating. Inflammation resolved quickly, eliminating snoring. The speaker has followed carnivore for over 1,300 days, consuming only water, beef, butter, bacon, eggs, and animal products with no fruit, vegetables, or grains. Ruminant meat is described as the cleanest food available. Meals often consist of fatty meat or eggs with ground beef, leading to natural fasting periods of 18 hours when not hungry.
Extended periods without food elevate ketones and lower glucose, inducing autophagy where cells recycle. Zombie cells, including pre-cancerous cells, are broken down and components reused to generate healthy cells. Ancestors naturally cycled through feasting and multi-day fasting, spending extended time in autophagy.
William's daughter observed that her ketone and glucose numbers declined during stressful periods despite proper eating. Mental stress from worry, rumination, or sleep loss halts healing. Individuals with stage four cancer who succeed combine carnivore eating with elevated ketones, low blood glucose, and release of worry by placing outcomes in God's hands rather than ruminating. Stress allows cancer or other conditions to resume progression.
Fresh dairy cows develop ketosis with detectable breath odor, similarly observable in humans for about a day. The speaker's wife notes bad breath as a ketosis signal. Social gatherings present challenges as holidays center on food, making carnivores appear unusual. The speaker sometimes fasts at events or eats beforehand to focus on family and spiritual aspects rather than food discussions.
While meat may seem expensive, eliminating side dishes, sauces, spices, and non-water beverages reduces overall costs. Raising meat personally further lowers expenses. Additional energy gained offsets costs, and brain fog is often unrecognized until resolved, having become normalized over years or decades.
Grain-fed sheep produce milk associated with increased earaches and flus in offspring, while grass-fed sheep do not. Farm-raised salmon fed soy and non-species-appropriate feed become sick, transferring health issues to consumers. Humans similarly suffer when consuming ancestrally inappropriate diets or animals raised on inappropriate feeds.
Over 30 people attended the evening session. Several attendees, including one previously coached, confirmed receiving Keto Mojos. The speaker expresses gratitude for the opportunity to share with receptive listeners and anticipates additional healing stories. Four episodes of the Amish Carnivore Show are referenced for further viewing.
