Cholesterol Code screening: Schomburg, Illinois, Monday, April 13th (year not specified). Carrie and Adam attending. Google "Schomburg Illinois Cholesterol Code screening" for details.
Meat Stock convention: May 2nd-3rd, Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Attendees: Carrie, Adam, Dr. Barry, Dr. Chaffee, Dr. Kilts, and 12,743 carnivores from YouTube. Visit meatstockconvention.com, use promo code healing humanity for $50 off. Heavy Healing Humanity presence; Maggie the Rancher (Maggie Muscles) attending. ~200 tickets left out of 1200.
Blind screening to general public (90-95% clueless about carnivore or Healing Humanity). Paid $15 to attend. 2.5 hours of Q&A afterward; had to ask people to leave for next movie. Audience moved, considering carnivore, asking questions, giving money back to pay it forward. Validation for 3 years of sacrifice. Scientifically significant results with blind audience ratings/feedback. Another screening tomorrow.
Documented stories that matter.
Film features real healing stories supported by good doctors.
Huge thanks to sister Melissa for dot painting of Healing Humanity plaque (hundreds/thousands of dots). No link to buy yet.
Adam: Carnivore on the rise, not a fad, getting stronger as people age and see healing (e.g., 30-day videos). Carrie: Here forever as ancestrally appropriate diet. Unlike fads like Weight Watchers that don't work long-term.
On cult accusations: Some social media cliques, but real-life carnivores cool. No cult leader, perverse incentives, health detriment, or payments required.
Carnivore count: Not tracking; everyone's physiology suited to majority animal diet.
Potential deal with platform like Cholesterol Code's (meeting owner Tuesday/Wednesday). Local theaters: Become ambassador, sell tickets for screenings. Possible good doctors attending/hosting (e.g., Dante Farigno). Meetups filmed nationwide/internationally (e.g., UK with Lee Copa).
Q&A with general public exciting; lightbulbs going off. Roxanne: Kids ate every bite of ribeye. Spanky Golf Addict (Vulcan, Alberta, Canada): By carnivore works, losing weight, feeling great. Emma: You do you.
Advice for newcomers/sick: Strict carnivore until healed, then experiment (e.g., keto). Carrie strict lifelong due to addiction; can't moderate or risk derailing.
Food is fuel, not for pleasure/entertainment.
Can't wrap brain around no baked potato/spices? Give carnivore time; switch flips. If healed, add back and notice reactions (unlike SAD with 4000 variables). Carrie discovered adult acne from dairy via elimination.
Addiction: Can't moderate; carnivore is abstinence. Yo-yo on keto until admitting addiction.
Dairy anecdote: Tried Jenny's ice cream sandwiches at Dr. Kilts's (Sarasota) with Jenny Meditation and Susie from Switch Company; delicious but triggered acne; no off-switch.
Bill and Daisy Alaska join chat; Daisy typing well, got good survey ratings.
Brain damage never went away. Bob Bieter gifted five Homestead Howe memberships. Members-only live stream every Thursday at 3 p.m. Central Standard Time. Every penny from memberships goes 100% to healing humanity through proper human diet. Channel has been on YouTube for 10 years.
Documentary filming is done, but marketing and distribution remain. Series is coming with dedicated episodes on cancer, depression, autoimmune, and fertility. Someone shared about elderly parent in long-term care facility suffering; recommended Hal Cranmer in Arizona running facilities on proper human diets where people heal.
Hal Cranmer's Long-Term Care Success
Hal Cranmer's facilities show healing on proper human diet. Example: 80-year-old with Alzheimer's reversed symptoms, went home, lives alone, surfs every day. Tests for Parkinson's and others show data before and after diet; markers improve, people go home. Some far-gone cases improve on carnivore keto lifestyle. Permission secured to film Hal Cranmer for series, but on back burner until documentary finishes. 400 options and hours of footage ready for series episodes.
Bucky Badger asked if documentary will reach YouTube. Yes, eventually. Initial plan was Netflix, but industry insiders say Netflix doesn't take indie films directly; need proven track record data. Recent screening provides positive data. Rare for indie documentaries to do blind audience screening in rented theater like Montello Theater. Filtered out carnivores via newspaper ads, Facebook ads for blind audience. Metrics collected: ticket sales speed, upgrades from 80 to 160 seats, attendance.
Path to Streaming Platforms
After theatrical and on-demand, list on transactional video on demand like Amazon or Apple for $5. Shows traction for Netflix, Amazon, Hulu subscription services. Goal: accessibility for people needing it most, like Joe Blow scrolling Netflix. Putting on YouTube first hinders streamer chances. Once on subscription services, likely YouTube for free access.
Dean got ribeyes at Costco on sale in Temecula, California, avoiding center of store. Dean Ludwig is Ella's grandfather; Ella is type 1 diabetic, featured with mother Rachel on live stream in Montana. Last Healing Humanity meetup in South Carolina: Dr. Kiltz, Dr. Nelson attending. Link: healinghumanitymovie.com/events.
Patricia, 76, knew diet was killing her, changed everything, down to 253 pounds, better E.R. heart, off all meds, lungs improved. Shares story as inspiration.
North Dakota Carnivore Lance gifted 10 Homestead Howe memberships.
Emma and Becky have goldfish recipes on channels. Peter found meat hack: bought brisket at $2.99/pound, ground by hand for ground beef. Boutique deli sells ground beef/brisket mix for $15/pound.
Bucky Badger: stats on screening viewers planning to try carnivore? 26 statistics collected, overwhelmingly positive, blew minds.
Vegan Conversion Story
Vegan woman at screening converted: after 2.5 hours, said "this is the truth, I'm going to go get a steak." Filmed on camera. Told Carrie to stop apologizing. Stay tuned for footage.
Carnivore not a fad or cult; people heal. Called cult members, used car salesmen, wrecking health. Nothing sold: just eat meat. Watched 1,000 Dr. Barry videos, no coaching or diet plan found. Beauty of carnivore: no sales pitch.
Texas carnivore since August 2025, deep in the heart of Texas. Montello Theater historic, played every major motion picture. Healing Humanity on big screen there surreal.
Joked about Healing Humanity as picture show, play, or Broadway musical with Dr. Barry in makeup, stage rotating blue house in Alaska, Daisy doing tricks.
Stevie Wood: Dr. Nelson thinks possible insulin resistance, suggestions? Ease into carnivore over 30 days, get blood work before/after. Biggest public concerns: insulin resistance and inflammation.
Adam's experience: high cholesterol but optimal lipid density profile (all green bars), insulin resistance very low. Doctors prescribe statins based on LDL alone. Doctors follow flowcharts, act as drug dealers for statin companies. AI could replace that. Women's Health Study: 10-11 factors above cholesterol for heart disease; insulin resistance makes 14x more likely.
Dr. Nelson: worry about insulin resistance/inflammation first (14x risk) before cholesterol.
Elizabeth bought suet at local butcher. In documentary, viewer mistook Maggie's suet pile for diced potatoes. Overflowing cast iron skillet of fat. Filming week with Maggie: ate more fat than ever, felt great. Maggie served basketball-sized bowl of fat, insisted they finish. Used hatchet on wood stump to chop frozen meat.
Bill wants spa like that. Carnivore enabled $15 mall chair massage; pre-carnivore, would spend on Cinnabon.
Instead of spending money on junk food like Cinnabon, speaker now gets $20 chair massages at malls, tipping $5, and feels incredible. Has gone back 2-3 times. Recommends as good entry point over fancy spas. Jen and speaker both do this more on carnivore. Pre-carnivore, focus was always on what and where to eat next. Now do other things like comedy shows, seen Dave Chappelle multiple times. Have extra money since not spending on food like Domino's every night or chasing points for free pizza.
Gone to comedy 2-3 times recently, pre-carnivore maybe once. Laura Spath and Chris Spath (both in documentary, Laura favorite YouTuber) go to comedy clubs. Speaker and Jen go to museums, never before. Drove an hour to Cave of the Mounds in Wisconsin. These are valuable experiences vs. disease from Domino's or Cinnabon. Invites comments on new experiences on carnivore.
Elizabeth excited to make tallow. Speaker renders tallow in smoker; fried eggs in smoked tallow are excellent. Bucky mentions Dave Mack (incredible, 7 million? 2,000 carnivores, mission to share carnivore stories, in documentary). Helen got $225 worth of meat on sale, enough for 3 weeks. Look for yellow tags. Carnivore not too expensive.
Craving prime rib sliders from Sam's Club at $5.99/lb. Nearest is 1 hour 20 minutes away. Freezer loaded, need to stock down before Costco run. Perfect size for meatballs in Power Bowl for prime rib Power Bowl. Different texture than ground beef or chuck, like super soft tender steak. On beef-only carnivore (can also do chicken, pork, fish, turkey), different cuts like prime rib sliders, ground beef burger patty, beef shank with connective tissue/collagen offer different tastes and benefits (e.g., skin, hair). Hundreds of different foods from beef cuts. Look for sales. Mentions duck, iguana, alligator, shark, kangaroo, smoked iguana. Had tuna sashimi (raw fish, buttery) at Black Stone (hot stone cooking, expensive, cook yourself, smoky from butter on 1000° stone).
Prime Quarter in Wisconsin: pick steak from fridge, cook on community grill (like hot stone places), pay for experience but can do at home. People like salad bar/baked potato (not carnivore-friendly yet). Kangaroo had sweet cherry-like flavor, bit gamey, good preparation matters. Had pet iguana as kid, smelled awful.
North Dakota Carnivore (Lance Carey): reversed congestive heart failure, first YouTube video showed tub of meds he got off (blood pressure meds, allergy meds, fish oil, 2 statins, others; up to 12 pills daily). Born in North Dakota. Speaker born Arizona, lived there couple years, back to Wisconsin. Climbed childhood mountain in Arizona pre-carnivore? No, would have huffed after 10 steps eating Cinnabon. Encountered warnings of tarantulas, rattlesnakes; dug for geocache at top.
Approaching 3 years carnivore (speaker Feb 1, 3 years; other ~30 days behind). Documentary idea announced on YouTube with Emma on day 67 (six seven, kids' gesture). Girls made fun of it.
Photographs youth sports, kids do trendy gestures (not gang signs, like holding up W); coaches explain. "Always boil your reptile meat first." Tech issue: mobile viewers can't see camera, only Healing Humanity graphic.
Emma (emmacarnivore on YouTube): goldfish recipe on cheese, carnivore chips from egg whites (crunchy, no spices for dad). Carnivore cake 100% carnivore, delicious, bridges gap for some. Speaker avoids as triggers addiction, like whoopsie cake or ice cream—makes for family, eats whole thing. Won't touch to avoid relapse, depression, cravings. Once tasted, brain wants more; 100% carnivore but animal product addiction risk.
Nancy Chandler watched every YouTube video, met in San Diego, adorable dog (name forgotten, maybe Pickles/Piper/Spanky; 5 dogs in documentary: Max, another; Maggie's Rancher, Dante's Sam, Tess, Lynn's Max, Dr. Berry's Mario/Max as coach). Lance: 5 blood pressure meds, etc. Cascade of pharmaceuticals: side effects need more meds, not treating root cause. On statins, Flonacide? Metoprolol, Atorvastatin.
North Country sugar-free bacon (store under 40°). Speaker uses any bacon, even sugar-cured (little sugar, no issues). Nitrate-free often has more nitrates via celery salt/powder (marketing ploy, molecularly same). Costco sometimes has good sugar-free. Go-to: bacon/eggs, scrambled eggs/ground beef (prime rib sliders: cook 18 in 14" pan, 6/meal = 3 meals; 9 eggs breakfast). During filming, prime rib patties in bacon grease: crispy, tender, like breakfast patty. Big thick sliders same price as hamburger—why buy hamburger?
Dr. Berry video on bacon/nitrates. Many quit alcohol (Todd Bachnus, Becky, Dave Mack, Todd chewing tobacco/gambling). Food addiction leaves, brain normalizes; prefrontal cortex development delayed by carbs/sugars/inflammation. Michael, Elizabeth quit alcohol unintentionally, no desire. Carnivore bonus. Alcohol poison, scorches gut bacteria like SAD.
Love to dogs: Max (Dr. Baker's coach), Magic, Dante's Sam, Tess (Lynn), Mario (Jeff), Daisy (live?), Rancher (Maggie).
Carnal Mofo couldn't tolerate eggs pre-6 (smell/consistency). Try spices, hot sauce. Switch preparations: fried runny, scrambled, omelet/cheese, hard boiled, baked, raw blended, smoked in tallow. Salty Provisions hot salt (pepper flakes) cuts eggy flavor.
Many quit alcohol (Tracy, North Dakota after 6 weeks). Quit gambling, 120 lbs down 14 months (10 bowling balls). Kelly: quit alcohol pre-carnivore, no desire now; addicted to fatty meat/Topo Chicos. Saw Kelly in Columbus comedy club, Montello/Smoke & Oak?
Becky: lifetime alcohol crutch gone via carnivore/counseling, saved life. 1:15 runtime. NYC meet-up at premiere (first Montello, then NY/LA; screen film, Brazilian steakhouse, diet Mountain Dew). Diet Mountain Dew like nuclear waste, neon green; switched to McDonald's diet Coke (addictive, not store version, drove 40 min). Now reverse osmosis water, stopped sparkling. Better than regular Mountain Dew calories. Baby steps.
South Carolina one week from today: healinghumanity.movie. Meat Stock convention: meatstockconvention.com, Gatlinburg TN, $50 off with healinghumanity. Michaela Peterson, Vanny Harry (Food Babe), Dr. Berry, Dr. Baker, Dr. Kilts, Dr. Chavey, Carrie, Maggie Rancher, Liz, maybe Emma. Emma definite for SC. Thanks for support, test screening surreal, big announcements soon. Bye.
