#carnivorediet #multiplesclerosis #chronicillness #health #carnivore #healing #nutrition
I refused my $3,000 a month Rebif treatments back in 2015. Started Carnivore March 2022 and I am now relearning to walk. All symptoms, brain fog, all muscle and joint pain completely gone. Plus lost 60lbs. :)
Praise Jesus 🙌
Congratulations 🎉❤️ That's so amazing. Now get yourself on some of these carnivore channels and spread the word 😄
Your HDL to Triglyceride ratio is good. No need to worry about the others.
I actually wrote that reversed, I meant to say Triglyceride to HDL ratio (TG/HDL). Closer to 1 is best. Yours is 82/79 = 1.037. Excellent.
Telling your doctor “this guy on RUclips said “ is going to receive a poor response however the comment ref Triglycerides to HDL is 100% correct. See Doctors Paul Mason, Ben Bikman, Anthony Chaffee, Bart Kay and others for evidence based information.
You can be proud of yourself, well done!
Yep, no need to worry about cholesterol at all. Your lipid panel looks fine.
@@bikeman1969low triglycerides can result in artificially high LDL numbers ( LDL is a estimate, not a direct test )
I’m not a doctor ,but you seem sooo much more calm , less anxious, completely focused than you did in previous videos . Well done ! Fantastic, wonderful achievements !!!! This could be an absolutely amazing way of spreading the word ! I feel absolutely sure your brain lesions are MUCH better , if there any at all !Thank you so much for sharing this ! I myself can hardly believe all the health issues I have overcome with going carnivore . Especially skin issues in my case. . I’m 62 years old , female, living in Florence, Italy. Gum disease ,dry eye sindrome, skin tags, fungus all disappeared,my skin is like a baby’s , no cellulite , no stretch marks , no rosacea, no liver spots ,no chicken skin, no bags under my eyes. I look visibly younger. I bought some make up ( foundation) but I don’t need it at all anymore ! We are all excited about your wonderful results ! Keep doing all you are doing plus vitamin D3 and K2 of course .
very interesting results, thanks for sharing
I am about 3 months carnivore and watching the "liver spots" on my hands wondering if they will lessen. Carnivore has eliminated my nasal congestion, and sneezing. My doctor, on hearing this said, "Gluten." That's fine. Maybe true but I'm guessing it was elevated blood sugar/inflammation.
Totally agree. Her voice is better, her eyes are bright, her hair looks healthy, and most importantly, it seems to me she has trace of a smile on her face. Maybe my imagination, but she seems happier than she was. Less desperate.
ok.. not sure how i feel about being described as desperate :-) haha. but i appreciate the sentiment. (i was being accused of murder during the filming of previous videos, so i certainly feel happier now!)@@blahblah6725
There’s a video that “No Carb Life” just posted today with a guy who was diagnosed with M.S., followed the carnivore diet, and now all signs of M.S. are gone. The audio isn’t great, but it’s a great story!
I don't know if you watch Dr Chaffee when he does his lives once a week but if you do you could plug those numbers into chat and ask him his opinion on the cholesterol. He's very good at explaining and breaking it all down. Thanks for sharing your results with us today and I'm interested to see you results of the MRI. I've sent several of your video's off to my sister to watch as she has MS also. Hope she watch's them. She wants nothing to do with the carnivore diet. Your looking great and seem more energetic as time goes on. Look forward to your next video.
Dr Berry has lives each week too on Mondays, you can ask questions
@@Nik513mbut Dr. Berry does not specialize in MS. Hopefully he knows of people who have suffered from MS and gotten better on Carnivore.
Cholesterol is based upon old & outdated assumptions as you stated.
Just another comment from a user i saw on Dr Etberg vitamin d today
I was diagnosed with MS in 2016, went on an immunosuppressive, and then found out how important Vitamin D was for the immune system. In particular, it is critical for decreasing inflammation which is a key component of MS. I went through increasing intake and measuring my blood level for months until I figured out I need 8000 iu per day to stay at 100 ng/ml, which is optimal for MS. (For most people, 10,000 iu per day gets you to 100 ng/ml, 5000 iu per day gets you to 50 ng/ml, etc. So you can see that 2000 iu/day only raises your level by 20 ng/ml, which may still leave you insufficient.) Just before the Covid-19 outbreak, my doctor told me to stop the immunosuppressant because my B-cell level made me as low as an AIDS patient, and I was in danger of a viral brain infection. I did get Covid-19 but not bad enough to be hospitalized. Ever since then, my only MS medication has been Vitamin D! And I have had no more MS symptoms during the last 5 years.
Hope this is helpful
I saw the interview on Dave's channel and immediately subscribed to your channel. Thank you for updating your interview.
🥰
I have heard of MS patients getting vitamin D treatments as part of their recovery. You are looking so much better. Keep up the good work. Your interview with Dave was fantastic.
Bless you Adger! 🙏🥰
150,000 IUD in Guadalajara Mexico with a doctor. Very cheap for such a monitored treatment.The Coimbra protocol.

AAAAAAJHH!!! Le estás diciendo a tu médico que has mejorado espectacularmente con tu dieta y él se preocupa de tu LDL!! Qué locura!!
Sigue adelante y suplementa la vitamina D, que es vital para tu recuperación.
Looking forward to see your impruvement!
Muchas gracias.
Congratulations on a great cholesterol level!!😊
You look great. I’m so glad you are sharing your story. My husband has MS and we are always looking for ways to help naturally instead of drugs. I work in healthcare, your cholesterol is fine, nothing to worry about. Thank you for your videos! God bless you in this journey. 💜
I think I've heard every doctor carnivore or otherwise mention that we are all probably vitamin D3 deficient. I take a D3/K2 supplement 1 or 2 times daily but haven't had a blood test yet to see if it is helping.
You didn't mention triglycerides? I suspect those are quite low which coupled with your high HDL is very good. I'm sure you've watched the same videos as the rest of us about Lean Mass Hyper Responders with regard to high cholesterol. That is likely the category you fit in as well. I love that you mention the relationship between myelin and cholesterol with regard to MS. I don't have MS or any direct experience with it but that seems like a really important and insightful connection to make. I wish you all the best in your health journey. You are really an N of one pioneer in this area in that you are taking the time to video journal your experience for the rest of us. Thank you for doing that!
Triglycerides were 82, forgot to mention that!
Chattanooga, TN Thank you for sharing your results. 5yrs Keto/Carnavior. Take 10,000iu Vit D3 daily along with Vit K2 200mcg with a high fat meal. Vit D level started at 25 and is now 89. Take Carlson Cod Liver Oil 3 tsp daily with meal. Hdl/Triglycerides ratio is whats important. My Hdl is now 65 up from 36 and Triglycerides 71 down from 147. High fat with protein diet. Bullet Proof coffee every morning, 2 meals a day,and eat in a 6 hr window. Don't forget minerals:magnesium, zinc, copper, potassium from avacado (no bannas) and selenium from Brazil nuts (3)
You are on the right track keep up the fight!
Are there doctors in Chattanooga that are pro keto/carnivore diet?
@@emnicole34 I don't know of any though my VA doctor is working with me and keeping track of my labs every 6mon
"This is Bad" 🤣 Such a helpful comment! You are so nice to back off from interview questions, he did seem quite annoyed. On sunny days, I have started gardening in a bikini top for extra sun...but I take a Vitamin D3 supplement during cloudy days - be sure it has K2! I'd be curious to see what a carnivore doctor has to say about your cholesterol. ♥
I’ve started gardening in a full bikini as well😊. I do get some odd looks tho as I am a man 🤔

I have researched the vit D issue somewhat extensively, & it's a contributing factor is where a person grew up~ especially females. Given that I grew up in WA State- similar weather patterns to most parts of England- I focused on that contributing factor. It seems all ages adult women tend to be deficient in vit D, in particular middle age like myself. I began supplementing w/a vit D3/K2 fat soluble liguid drops over a year ago, & my levels are finally up. That being said, I think it's easy to "back burner" these seemingly small issues when we are dealing with something so much larger- such as M.S. What I have found for myself is that it's all relevant & interconnected, as far as efficacy, so certain supplements I've chosen to consider as part of my nutrition~ w/solid results. Where before, I grouped all supplements of any sort into the "medicine" category, wanting nothing to do w/them.
So many other factors involved, of course. This is just one, yet surprised me to learn just how much certain things- like vit D levels- were actually affecting my body's systems & responses. *Thanks for sharing your information, as it's also quite valuable in educating ourselves as well as comparative value. ~Samantha in AZ/USA
I have struggled to maintain Vit D levels despite living in the subtropics and being out in the sun every day. I too found that the VitD drops were the only thing that worked to bring up my levels. So many people don't know that VitD is actually a hormone not a vitamin and is vital for so many of our bodies functions.
@@Michelle_Emm 🎯Yes~ it's a hormone, thanks for adding that. I also forgot to mention I've lived in AZ/US for over a decade now, so hear you on the "adequate sunshine" we're advised to get.
Cholesterol being bad is the biggest scam. I’d worry the most about inflammation markers like CRP and metabolic health markers like hba1c and fasting insulin
Bigger than the ‘safe n effective’ scam? Time will tell i guess 😢
Look up Dr. Paul Mason. He says he doesn’t care what the cholesterol is. The ratio between the HDL and triglycerides are a much more significant metric. It should be either < 0.9 mmol/L or in your case 2.0 mg/dL
Great, Rebecca! Get those cholesterol numbers way up, the body thrives that way! As Dr. Chaffee always says, it doesn't particularly matter what your cholesterol numbers are, because "it's physiological" meaning your body knows what it's doing and will raise or lower cholesterol to suit its needs at the moment.
That being said, people with higher cholesterol tend to live longer and suffer less depression, cancer, and other ailments. Dr. Paul Mason has some great lectures on the topic.
Congrats on getting interviewed by Dave! I've been leaving comments on HomesteadHow recommending that Kerry have you on for an interview too. Fingers crossed.
I found a vitamin D supplement that is lanolin based. You take it as drops and it's very mild tasting. Seems to be all natural. But sunbathing in the buff is more fun.
Please could you post the make of those drops? I can't find one that doesn't have flavours, which I'm allergic to, or based on plant oils.
I sure am praying this diet helps your MS. That would be just amazing. Hugging you with my prayers.
The hidroferol is a form of vitamin D that your liver doesn't need to convert. The dose is probably a larger one, so that is why its prescribed to take every 2 weeks rather than daily. Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin, so excess gets stored in adipose tissue and drawn upon when needed. As a carnivore, you will have no problem accessing the stored vit D, assuming you don't overeat and do some fasting so that fat from your adipose tissue gets released periodically.
Just stumbled upon your channel. Good luck with your health journey.
Hidroferol is a high dose fast acting vitamin d. Anyone with an autoimmune condition should aim to max out their vitamin d levels. It makes a big difference to symptoms and I see it as low hanging fruit.
I believe B1 deficiency has to do with high cholesterol.
B1 is necessary to get all energy into the cells (fats protein and sugar).
Just like there is insulin resistance there is protein and fat resistance due to B1 deficiency.
80% of the body's B1 is in the mitochondria.
You absolutely need B1 within your cells.
Lack of B1 is a factor in every disease I can think of. Especially cancer and diabetes (all diabetics are deficient in vitamin B1.)
Mega doses are necessary to overcome functional deficiencies.
You flood the system with 1000'sx's the rda to inundate the system.
God bless
Glad you are doing well.
I also am a be believer in all B supplements and quality B complex is difficult to search out.

Have a look at Ivor Cummins videos about cholesterol and I think he would agree your numbers are nothing to worry about. He is more a low carb advocate rather than pure carnivore but either way cholesterol is not the enemy it was once touted to be by big pharma and big agricultural/processed food corporations to get everyone on Statins and wheat based diet with seed oils. I think you are doing fantastic and being guided by your own body and living in the now has got to be the healthiest approach with a life long condition .
I do carnivore and cycle with Keto depending on how I feel and at 50 after some post jab neurological and inflammatory side effects I feel diet and supplements have been my savour. Most people are Vit D deficient and most of us could do with a much higher dose than the NHS would recommend. I am now repleat for D on bloods but take 4000units per day still to keep it high. I eat meats, fish, raw milk, eggs, cheese, some green vegetables and berries when on keto and almost no carb (apart from occasional slips off the wagon). Feel best on carnivore by far xxx love following your story ❤
About the vit D defic8ency, when a person has high inflamation, MORE vit D is used by your body to fight the inflamation
Yeh ldl or as the traditional medical ‘professional’ likes to call lousy cholesterol is essential. They are measuring this in a principal that’s decades out of date. Surprised he didn’t send you a prescription for statins… I want high cholesterol as this is needed for our condition and for healing! Keep going and supplement with d3 and k2. We need this.
My grandmother had MS, she died in 2014 at 86, I always wanted to help her somehow as doctors were not able. She was the longest living grandparent despite the MS.
I think vitamin D might be crucial for healthy veins (especially supplying brain and securing blood barrier function) and bones development at early age.
One day I came across Dr. Terry Wahls story she was diagnosed with MS, she was on a wheelchair and got back on her legs just with a diet. it's heart breaking achievement!
your cholesterol is absolutely fine..
Hi! I saw your interview on No Carb Life, and it was incredible! I have been following this channel for a while now. I have a close family member with MS, but it's hard to convince her to try low carb, as she's Mexican and loves her rice & tortillas. I may recommend this channel to her.
Dr Ovadia (heart surgeon & wrote Stay Of My Operating Table) recommends dividing your Triglycerides ÷ HDL= and says you want it 2 or under. Keep up the great videos.❤
Try Ole brand low carb tortillas and cauliflower rice.
😂 I just did that with my last blood work and got 4.6.... how bad is that?
@@zahmmy1 That's not carnivore though.
Have you seen the No Carb Life video with Wayne??? Wayne was diagnosed with MS. He tried carnivore and his brain lesions all gone. He knows others who have had the same improvement, proven by their MRI
Yes I saw it! Fantastic interview, super exciting results 😃
I'm in Scotland and take maximum strength D3/K2 supplements because my ME/CFS means that I can't always get outside - I was bedbound for 5 years and started keto which helped - I was still 80% housebound but could get out on better days. Since being OMAD carnivore I have no brain fog, no joint pains/aches, no more fatigue and I have been able to once more be with my horses (riding/mucking out etc) gardening and even quite heavy DIY. I have just had my bloods done and asked them to check my vitamin D levels - just to be sure the supplement I'm taking does what it says on the packet!
The reason for taking K2 with D3 is to make sure any calcium is taken up properly by your bones and not distributed in your veins and arrteries causing plaque. Also another reason for eating fatty meats is D3 is fat soluble and fat aids it's absorption.
Being carnivore make you less prone to sunburn. I used to burn quickly in the sun but now I don't seem to have a limit for how much sun I can take (unless it's too hot and I need to cool down...)
Yes, definitely try and get some sun every day to help boost Vit D. Don't stay out so long that you get sunburn, but definitely natural sunlight is best......and forget about sunscreen. If you burn, you're body is telling you that you're in the sun too long. All the very best to you.
Cholesterol helps with various bodily functions, including cell building and repair, bile production, vitamin D and hormone production. I think having it high could be a good thing in MS. It could be protective.
"This is bad" says every doctor everywhere who is not current with the research (hint: the vast majority of them aren't) 😂😂😂😂😂. Your HDL is fabulous. Did he not check your Triglycerides? Important to look at that ratio. Caught your interview with Dave. It was a blockbuster!
Thank you! Triglycerides were 82, oops forgot to say...
Your HDL to LDL ratio (divide total cholesterol/HDL) should be below 5.1 yours is 3.4 😊 I'm surprised they didnt do triglycerides as trigs to HDL ratio is an important part of the equation. (Nb trigs should be done at least 12 hour fasted)
The cholesterol is needed to process vit D from the sun, but you've only just started carnivore/high cholesterol. Get more sun and sunbathe. 3 months carnivore isn't enough time for it to up the levels. I've been doing lipivore for years in tandem with sunbeds. I increased my levels from 21 to 116. A lot of people with MS will be MTHFR (which is the mountain folk gene) and they run on very high levels of vit D - they are particularly adept at processing out skin cancer.
Food will not give enough Vit D by itself however you also need vit k or supplementation will cause calcium to lodge in your vascular system. You are right in that the right food will lower blood glucose, and inflammation damage. Only you can eat the right way to see lesion progression stop. They are there to show you on scans that it has stopped or carried on.
Your cholesterol is perfect. 79 of HDL and 82 of tryglycerides is amazing and LDL at this level is not a problem at all.
Meta study from 2016: "Lack of an association or an inverse association between low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol and mortality in the elderly: a systematic review"
Conclusions: High LDL-C is inversely associated with mortality in most people over 60 years. This finding is inconsistent with the cholesterol hypothesis (ie, that cholesterol, particularly LDL-C, is inherently atherogenic). Since elderly people with high LDL-C live as long or longer than those with low LDL-C, our analysis provides reason to question the validity of the cholesterol hypothesis. Moreover, our study provides the rationale for a re-evaluation of guidelines recommending pharmacological reduction of LDL-C in the elderly as a component of cardiovascular disease prevention strategies.
A total of 68 094 elderly people were part of the study.
You can get a study to show you anything but clearly your doctor is a bigot not a doctor, there' no way around that. Might be best to find a new one if one is available. The fact that he's certain when there's been plenty of proof published that he should at least not be sure means he's not a doctor anymore, just a fanatic.
I would say that Rebecca should stick with the current neurologist for now. I am thinking that she might not need a neurologist or any such specialist in the future, so no need to complicate matters further by finding one that is more accepting of carnivory. It is not totally unlikely that he will become more open towards the possibility of carnivory as a good tool against MS, if Rebeccas health stays good and potentially improves even further. (:
6:45 Your *LDL is FINE.* Total LDL of 169 is good. In fact, that's kind of low for a Carnivore. But that's still good.
Maybe you could educate your own doctor by letting him know that a *Higher LDL* is *not bad* if the particle size is large and flamboyant. Just do an LDL-P test.
There is an ongoing clinical study about treating MS with massive D-vitamin. It's in Germany. They require the participants to go there to get their blood D-vit kevels checked every three months.
yes, it‘s the Coimbra-Protocol
MS for 13 years now since diagnosis. I have a vitamin d deficiency myself. Used supplements forever, but you know what the doctors don't tell you about those? They don't tell you that calcified arteries are the top reason for deadly heart attacks. Why does that matter? Because nobody told me to take k2 and magnesium to be able to properly utilize that vitamin d. So, it builds up and turns into a soft plaque which then gets turned into calcium. So be careful with that.
So I got myself a UVB light and I get my vitamin d supplementation in that way now. Because when your body makes the vitamin d itself it also makes everything to counter and balance it so that everything works nicely together.
Hopefully I have it at least give you pause to consider before you potentially screw your whole body up. Best of luck to you in everything health-related.
P. S. I have cholesterol issues as well. One thing I have noticed about people talking about the carnivore diet is that none of them, at least that I have seen, specify they're eating specifically grass-fed beef. There's a difference between doing it safely or not and it's really as simple as that. Just compare the nutrition labels. Night and day difference.
I wouldn't worry about the cholesterol too much. It's high because you eat a lot of fat. Eating a lot of fat is bad if you also eat carbohydrates, because that combination is a recipe for a heart attack. There is no evidence that suggests that people that eat low carb have more heart attacks as well. (Although there have been some cases of people having problems due to insufficient consumption of electrolytes - in your case your electrolytes are perfect.)
The vitamin D is a major problem, and you probably won't see much improvement in your MS until you fix that. The Hidroferol is a brand name for a capsule that contains Vitamin D (in the active Calcifediol form). It contains a high dose (the one I found online contained 0.266 mg (=266 mcg = 10,640 IU) of Vitamin D, which is why you shouldn't take it too often. After using the active Vitamin D for a while, you will switch to the inactive form. The inactive form has to be processed by your liver, so it's best to take that one on a daily basis as your liver can only process so much each day. The inactive form is available over the counter. You should then take at least 50 mcg (2,000 IU) daily. Your doctor might advise you to take even 125 mcg (5,000 IU) daily for a limited time.
Vit D 5000 with vitamin K
Your cholesterol is fine.
More importantly follow you hemoglobin A1C and you inflammatory markers like CRP. They should go way down.
As I understand the cholesterol numbers, if you take the total amount of cholesterol and subtract your HDL and LDL, then what is left is called remnant cholesterol and as long as that value is below, I think it’s 25, then you are good. I think the dr name was Olivaria, but I might have it spelled wrong. You can also calculate that remnant number by thanking your triglycerides and divide by 5. It should be about the same as the umber you got from doing it by subtraction..
Look up Sten Ekberg, Dr. Christoper Gardner, Dean Ornish and what they say about it.
As someone who has been vitamin d deficient I've done a lot of research on this and i would absolutely supplement. This could be a contributing factor to the MS. It may also be that MS somehow inhibits absorption if this is common among MS patients.
Before carnivore I tried getting maintaining my levels through lots of sun exposure over summer and they actually went down! i think its because i was barely getting any cholesterol and cholesterol is a precursor to vitamin D. It can take a long time to raise levels from deficiency to optimal range - i was on 6000iu for 6 weeks and mine hadnt reached sufficient levels, a further 6 weeks only got it to sufficient range, way off optimal. Theres not enough UVB at this time of year to make D in the N Hemisphere - certainly in the UK, spain may be a little longer. As a fair skinned person you would need to regularly expose large parts if your skin to the sun i.e. in a bikini, when it is highest, between 10 and 3pm between April and September. Not for long - between 10 to 20 minutes is enough to make anout 10000 units if your fair, after which we stop making it and once we're tanned, it blocks it so we make less. Make sure not to burn. I do 15 minutes each side in the UK. I agree with your comments about the high dose vitamin d - the version he has prescribed is good for deficiency, because its partially converted, so its easily absorbed and its given in high dose because the body can store it, but to me it seems we shouldn't take such high dose, if we wouldn't naturally make that from the sun. Maybe see if he can prescribe a lower dose to take daily. When optimal levels are reached its still necessary to supplement all through autumn winter and spring in the N hemisphere at around 5000iu per day.
try glancing at the sun just before it goes up or down when there is no dangerous uv. The rays penetrate through the glass of your eye and stimulate/generate vitamin d much faster and efficiently than via your skin membrane.
I took hidroferol for years and never got to the minimum. I guess my gut was wrecked and was not absorbing it. I decided to buy normal vitamin D supplements and megadose along with magnesium, k2, boron and zinc and it skyrocketed
Healthcare recommends 400iu of vitamin D3, when we need around 4000iu, 10 times the recommendation, this might help explain your vitamin D deficiency. D3 should be taken with K2 & magnesium.
The carnivore diet is the best option for MS I believe.
Dr Chaffee has an interview with an MS sufferer from about 4 months ago - tried adding a link but it was deleted 🤷♀️ you may find the interview helpful title is something like : ' from wheelchair to walking with her shocking diet '
Vit D is fat soluble, and you may need to ensure you're having enough fat with your meat. It is also better absorbed with vit K2. Cod Liver Oil (excellent quality) and good quality sardines are great ways to achieve these.
For sunlight to help with Vit D absorption, it needs to be on parts of the skin not normally seen by the sun. 'Bums and tums' is the saying.
I understand that as we get older we tend to not absorb Vitamin D as efficiently not matter how much sun. Some of us just need supplements. I agree, we need cholesterol. Again, such an informative discussion. 👏
I am not a doctor, but most recent studies is the oxidized ldl and triglycerides you need to be looking at, total ldl not so meaningful at least in your range. That’s from latest studies. But doctors have had this ldl is bad burnt in their brain and mostly do not want to try to understand the physiological balance at play. Oxidized ldl might be related to high blood sugar, as well as high triglycerides. Your diet should push blood sugar down. And you are right your body need s cholesterol (everywhere). Fats are also essential nutrients for brain and heart, provided they are in the right balance and from fresh sources. Artificial vegetal oils refined from grains can become oxidized easily and are over consumed as they have been pushed as an alternative to more saturated more complete source of fats under the ldl is bad dogma. Eat fresh natural foods as much as possible I would say…
Did you take the C-19 shot? I have seen a lot more people getting diagnosed with MS since getting those shots. Take care!
Absolutely not. I was diagnosed in 2017. Never taken a single Covid test let alone injection of an untested substance.

Praise Jesus 🙌
Amen! So glad to hear that 😊
Yes you need cholesterol. Dr Berry on RUclips has a few great videos describing its importance 🎉
I don't have knowledge to comment on the BT results, but here's my 1cent: raw garlic and olive oil are good for everything, nuts, korean ginseng and ginko biloba are good for the nerves and brain. And of course, anything that is anti-oxidant is good for you!
High LDL levels are not a risk factor for disease. Your LDL levels actually are not very high, not that it matters. In the presence of your high HDL and low Triglycerides, your LDL is the safer large particle type.
It is just crazy that Doctors do not get nutrition training in Medical schools.
Every doctor visit should include some nutrition discussion. The majority of the population is over weight or obese leading to high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer. Schools and hospital cafeterias should be leading the way to good health by setting the example of what is a healthy meal and teaching people what to eat and why.. Every person in the hospital for heart disease should have a nutrition class before being checked out from the hospital with follow up education and training in nutrition. Medicare and Medicaid should require patient nutrition education as part of their standard of care. Nutrition information should be run on the hospital TV channel.
Doctors are in the drug business not the health business sad to say
Your triglycerides is more important. i didn't hear you mention that number tho. and there is a triglyceride to HDL ratio that indicates heart health.
Triglycerides were 82... should have mentioned it, sorry!
You didn't mention triglycerides. Also, from what I've read, the ratio is more important. Total/HDL should be less than 5, Tri/HDL S/B less than 4, LDL/HDL SB less than 5. You might want to check that out. Love your videos! Thank you. Scott
Some people just need to take vit D. Dr. Campbell did some good videos about vit D and inflammation for Cov id. Explains cofactors, taking few times a day for best absorption, D3 not D2. Will be interesting your next MRI with the lesions. Seems like you were making positive changes before carnivore. Maybe expelling toxins that cause irritation forming lesions. Could be part of healing process. Just guessing but hope so.
Stay steady on what seems to be right for you. Make changes as needed. You are the one who has to live with the consequences of your choices. People can be helpful and have opinions but listening to your body helps make the best decisions. I once had a toxicologist say how you eat doesn't effect how your body heals and detoxify. Giving your body the right material/ nutrients has everything to do with it. People/ doctors only can speak from experience. You have to muddle through info because someone will eventually have the experience to give good advice.
Grounding has really helped with inflammation for me. Good luck.
Hidroferol is a vitamin d. The reason it is only given once every two weeks is because it builds up in the liver. Your deficiency could be genetic. Mine is and I have to supplement.
You need magnesium for Vitamin D to be absorbed.
I have MG, like MS but with extra sucky issues MS doesn't get, and I used to train doctors and nurses. My mother also has MS. Drop Carnivore. Eat high protein and lift weights or do some kind of resistance training daily. Do get healthy fats from fish and splurge on omega 3 eggs if you want. Do get fiber and some carbs from sources that also have fiber and vitamins. The training will keep your strength, the training will suppress your immune system and slow continuing damage, the training will use the carbs, the training will alter your hormonal and immune environment. The protein is to combat muscle wasting and hopefully promote muscle growth. Growing muscles send out their own signals to the body and promote nerve repair and new nerve growth. They also lower ur blood sugar and have a protective effect on the body and the brain. Yay, big ol glycogen sinks! Fiber has been shown to regulate the immune system as well. It gets metabolized into things like butyrate and also promotes bacteria in the gut that send out immune system regulating signals. You will be healtheir and can get into remission faster if you do the things you have been told to do your whole life. Exercise with intensity so your body is forced to adapt. Eat a lot of protein cause it is the building blocks of everything in your body and is needed to repair. Healthy fats, you've been told fish is good and omega 3s and 6s are needed. Eat your fiber, fruit and veg. Go outside and get 30mins of real sun a day. Just a 30 min walk with shorts and short sleeves will help vitamin D and also....the blood circulating helps get nutrients to the places your body is trying to repair. Good luck, my mother and I have both achieved complete remission and exercise and proper diet is like brushing our teeth and something we just must do everyday.
Thank you but I’m doing great, not looking to change my approach since it is working for me! Best of luck to you 👍
@cabanachronicles Whatever gets you through it and back to normal! Honestly, the patients who stay on walkers or worse are the ones who give up and spend their time on FB blaming their prednisone or whatever. I figured out, as a kid, I could hand my mother stuff like seaweed pills and placebos would get her moving and doing healtheir habits that would quickly get her walker put in the closet permenantly. Depression, laying around, not taking care of yourself, the folks that give up are the ones in the worst shape and you will find their family members on FB support groups asking about their anger, depression and weight gain. Got an MS friend at the gymn who did stem cell treatments in Mexico. Who cares if they helped her? She uses a walker to get into the gymn and lifts what she can, believing the stem cells are working. She'll recover because she didn't give up.
3:56 It's a Generic *Calcifediol:* 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3), which is basically D3. There's more to it but, broken down it's the hormone D3. And since D3 is fat soluble, that's why you can take one large dose during one period of time until you take the next dose.
⤴️ Which brings me to the importance of cholesterol. I believe most doctors would know this kind of information, that our body needs cholesterol. Our own body makes its own cholesterol so I don't know why doctors are so worried if we have a high LDL count. Cholesterol is protective. We need it to absorb many of the fat soluble Vitamins. Vitamin D is actually a hormone. And we *NEED FAT* for healthy hormones.
Back to the D3: My sister was diagnosed with very low D a few years ago. They just told her to take 10,000 IUs of D3 once a week. I think that's still not enough D3 if you're deficient. One can take 5,000 IUs each and every day in the winter season. There are doctors who take 10,000 IUs of D3 a day.
When I remember to take it, I take 5,000 IUs of D3 a day. I'm not worried about overdosing. Like I said, sometimes I just forget to take it. I'm not worried about forgetting either.
The LDL and HDL needs to be used together to calculate your levels. The fact that both are high does not point to any issue, it is about the ratio between the two
Always consider the doctors’ best prognosis and start from there. I know there are amazing benefits from other lifestyle therapies. Here in the USA, top hospitals prescribe 50,000 IU to 250,000 IUs for MS and autoimmune diseases . Vitamin k 2 is always taken with that. Both forms as in Mk4 and Mk 7 forms of vitamin k are taken at a 100 mcg vitamin k 2 per 10,000 IU of vitamin D. God bless
I have high LDL but my triglycerides are low because I do keto with lots of meat, eggs and butter I tried statins once and my muscles ached so bad I will never take again, the more research I do the more it looks to me that high LDL is very protective for women, these days how I feel is very important and I felt terribly on statins.
I've been taking vitamin D3 for many years. It is very good for the immune system, bone strength, etc. and should be taken seriously even though you are not impressed with your doctor. I don't know anything about your new prescription; if it is a type of vitamin D3 supplementation then I guess you should consider it. But look into it. Your Dad should be a good source on these things. I believe the blood test results regarding your D3 levels and I pay attention to mine when I get my test results. I live in Florida but have to limit my sun exposure due to the "no more sunburns" advice from my dermatologist. Even though I am a woman and in my 70's I do NOT have osteoporosis; I credit this to various things, but especially my taking D3.
Your LDL is fantastic. Your HDL to trig ratio is just where you want it to be.
Daily full body Sun exposure in season is what you need. Half an hour at least, better 1 hour. When the length of your shadow equals your height. This should take care of the vitamin D deficiency while avoiding any sunburn. Cholesterol is a non-issue on carnivore. It must be higher because it's fuel that feeds your cells. It's only a problem in carb heavy diets. You're writing your own story with this experiment and I'm rooting for it to be successful so others can learn from it and help themselves. Best of luck!
Regarding your LDL cholesterol, I suspect your consultant has just been “brought up” over the last few decades to believe your numbers are “bad” and that “high” LDL precipitates atherosclerosis. That’s STILL the mainstream consensus…(yawn)…but even that’s starting to change now that there’s growing evidence to suggest it’s not quite that simple. My LDL is higher still and I’m in the older male “risk category”…but I won’t take Statins after hearing what people like Paul Mason, Zoe Harcombe & Malcolm Kendrick have had to say. And I’m sure your Dad is absolutely right too.
Cholesterol and vitamin D levels are all over the place if you read articles about them.
My recent total cholesterol is 340 and D is 29.
I'm not worried either way. I get plenty of sun and eat many foods with D and cholesterol.
I understand having MS getting your labs, but if you're doing well and feeling good - keep on truckin'.
Fellow carnivores, chill about the numbers they apply to omnivores.
The further you live from the equator the higher the incidence of MS. We have many doctors from South Africa working in Canada and they can't believe how much more MS there is here compared to South Africa. We need sun for Vit D and without sun we need Vit D supplements. My mother in law had MS so have seen it up close. I wish you all the best in your journey and am glad you are open to all possible remedies.
My doctor a couple of years ago said for some reason EVERYBODY seems to have a vitamin D deficiency.
I agree with yiva2037. Your triglyceride/HDL ratio is superb. That reflects that your LDL is the healthy "pattern A" type. People will also refer to this as large and buoyant. Your Vitamin D is not good. 55 to 75 would be better and I've heard of doctors advising well higher than that as therapeutic levels for MS patients and some others. I wouldn't venture into those triple digit regions outside the supervision of an enlightened doctor. Wholistic? Naturopath? Someone who "gets" MS. I encourage you to find that good doctor who insists that you raise your D levels and who'll work with you to find "your" dose that will get you up to therapeutic levels. Please let us know how that goes. I'm subscribing.
In Poland, we had this old dr Kwaśniewski, who came up with Kwaśniewski's diet. It was also high fat, low-moderate protein, low-carb diet, however important was also the ratio of those nutrients. There should be a ratio of: 2.5 g fat to 1 g protein to not more than 0.8 g carbs (2.5:1: 0.8). And he cured multiple sclerosis with this diet successfully. This doctor also claimed that in such cases the cholesterol should be high.
did you look into hpylori? because of the vitamin d?
Get in touch with Dr. Ken Berry or Dr. Chaffee
Have you had a CCA test done? Do you know your CCA score? Anyone considering starting a carnivore diet should know their CCA score.
Your cholesterol looks great to me. Generally want to see triglycerides to HDL ratio be less than 2:1. Yours is basically 1:1 which is great. That's going to be a much more accurate indicator of LDL particle size, which is much more important than the total number in regards to cardiovascular disease. Damaged particles are the problem, but based on your ratio, yours should be healthy. Not sure if particle size testing would be available in your area, but it's not something that's commonly done anywhere.
There's a lot of carnivores who fall into a group that's been labeled lean mass hyper responders. People with absurdly high LDL but everything else looks great. And they haven't reported any issues as a result of it. There's currently a study being conducted on some of them who have been eating this way for 4+ years. Results should be published in February or March, can't quite remember. Dr Baker was talking about this in one of his recent videos and said the early results are great from what he's heard.
And we're built on cholesterol! The myelin sheath is made of cholesterol. The brain is about 2.5% of our body mass but contains about 20% of the cholesterol in our body. All of our hormones start out as cholesterol. And one study showed an inverse correlation between high LDL and all cause mortality, meaning that the more LDL someone had the less likely they were to die.
My common sense explanation for that is just a theory, but I think that in some cases the high number could be a result of your body trying to repair itself. All those aforementioned systems are calling for more cholesterol, so your body is making more of it. Regardless, I don't think it's anything to fear.
Side note: your B12 is good. Their average range is suboptimal. Below 400 can cause demyelination
Really helpful comment, thanks 👍🙂
@@cabanachronicles LMHR study was just released. No correlation between ketogenic diet induced high LDL and atherosclerotic plaque. Average of 4.7 years on a keto diet for the patients who were studied, LDL average of 272.
Search "Match Analysis on LMHR Study Released" video posted by Dave Feldman for the shortest explanation of the results that they found. The description includes links to other presentations that go into some more detail as well
Hydroferol is basically a medication used to treat vitamin D3 deficiency and I'm guessing that taking one every 2 weeks means it's a super high dosage. I hope this helps 🙏🏻💕
Supplements are critical for many of us. We are not going to get much, if any D from sun in winter, IF we are above a certain latitude. I believe it’s the UVB rays that are needed, and many people live too far north to get any of those rays in winter because of the way the earth is tilted. You can find the information on the internet.
Rather than another supplement you might try red light therapy...red light devices can be found in all price ranges...it certainky has boosted my health along with my carnivore diet...
You need to look at your Triglyceride to HLD ratio; yours is excellent at 1; anything below 2.5 is good; look at Dr. Robert Lustig's podcasts about cholesterol for more info
I just ended my last dose of vitamin you have to take. The doctor want you to take it over to weeks because it 50 thousand unit. It works
Yes, lowering your cholesterol is so much more important than putting your MS in remission.
The body uses cholesterol to make hormones, I understand its unlocked or used by choline, as in sunflower lethicin, I would do 2 tablespoons of lethicin am and pm, (i got this from a functional med vid) and its been AMAZING for me, my skin, everything is working better, my poo, all of it, so I havent tested my cholesterol yet but i expect it will be lower. So hang in there. xx Anyway, your cholesterol looks good, so who cares what he thinks. Choline as well builds myelin, its a win win for you to take it. xxx
You need loads of mag to go with the d if you suppliment it. use d3. the d3 is mega dosed monthly or weekly by drs, but I think daily is better. I think increasing your d is going to make a good difference. I would recommend an HTMA via trace elements in USA its fairly cheap, and you will get a lot of information about your mineral status.
Good call, the only thing you have to prove to him is getting better results on your MRI.
The longer I eat this way, it is becoming more apparent there are some important metrics. In my opinion they are almost all nutritionally based. For example, when glucose, iron, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, zinc and vitamin D are too low or too high, there are detrimental physical effects that you can feel. Instead, all of the focus is on LDL with the same punchline. You are setting yourself up for a heart attack in 10-20 years. Mess with one of the nutritional markers and you might not make it to the next 10-20 minutes.
my ldl is twice yours (320) l am 67 yrs male lean, well musseled and extremely fit and active, healthy in all ways, and proud to have that lipid number, ps it is not actually colesterol? I mostly eat carnivore with some veges and fruit. No health problems.
the goal is high HDL and low Triglycerides. big deal about total number. check out Dave Feldman, he is the boss in that area.
Keeping the cholesterol myths alive to cover up for the sugar company lies.
Steak and Butter girl has been carnivore for five years. She had a heart surgeon on her RUclips.
According to heart surgeon Dr. Ovadia ask yourself:
What is the ratio between my triglycerides and your HDL cholesterol?
If you divide your triglycerides by your HDL, that ratio should be under 2 or as close to 1 as possible. ( If you are outside of the US, you need to use the US units for doing this ratio. .The conversion from millo is different so the ratio changes).
You are not insulin resistant and in good metabolic health.
I keep hearing from carnivore doctors that cholesterol is misunderstood by the regular doctors.
Regarding your LDL and total cholesterol. I'd be much more interested in your trig:HDL ratio. Ideally your trig should be lower than your HDL. If it is, then you're doing all the right stuff. Another way to confirm that you're not putting yourself at risk is to get a CAC scan. Likely you'd need to pay for it, but it will confirm if you have any build up in your arteries and force him to give up on pointing out that your cholesterol is high. Remember, the people who live the longest almost always have "high" cholesterol.
Triglycerides 82 / HDL 79...
@@cabanachronicles not perfect but damn close! They say a ratio of 2.0 is good, 1:0 is amazing. You're so close to 1.0! Look up information on the ratio to better understand why this number is so much more telling than just LDL. Nice work!
Need to take magnesium also with potassium
What are your triglicerides. Did you have your fasting insulin and fasting glucose tested?
Triglicerides 82 ... oops should have mentioned that!
Please either confirm your vitamin D status, or blindly supplement it (along with K2) Good luck! 😘
(I made this suggestion before viewing dr recommendation!)
Vit D3 drops, I've been closely following my levels for about 10 years. My doc recommended it way back then because my levels were low, plus my mother told me to take them so I wouldn't get sick, lol even back then!! I live north of Toronto so we don't get enough sunlight. I take a higher level in the winter months about 10,000 IU's per day and taper down and up in the summer months to around 3,000 IU's. Most recently I have been experimenting to see if applying to my skin will increase absorption and will follow up with bloodwork on that experiment soon.
Typical of doctors not to listen to their patients when the patients actually know better than the doctor.
