I've had MS and fully recovered with a carnivore diet (started with "paleo", similar to Whals protocol). I've come to believe it's all about gut permeability. There's a clinic in Hungary practicing this with various illnesses, calling it a "paleolithic ketogenic" diet (very high fat, low food volume, again for fast gut healing).
I'm fully convinced that I would have been crippled by now if not for the dietary changes.
I mention this often in online discussions and usually get a lot of pushback. It's very strange to me how people can doubt that diet plays a MAJOR role in health.
- faeyanpiraat 5y agoMay I ask which clinic are you talking about?
- lambdaba 5y agoPaleomedicina. Zsofia Clemens, one of the researchers, has a Twitter presence as well. They likewise get pushback from the name alone, but hopefully motivated people will look past that.
- faeyanpiraat 5y agoYeah I see some wild claims there. Need to look into it further to verify. Thanks!
- lambdaba 5y agoI understand the skepticism, but I urge you to look into the people running the clinic, they are honest and credible people, and the results are real. They also recount that they have trouble with people finding such a simple solution in-credible.
- faeyanpiraat 5y agoI might be wrong, but it seems like they are charging a couple thousand euros for this simple solution?
- lambdaba 5y agoThey offer a service that includes their supervision... The diet itself isn't proprietary, and given their results I don't mind they charge a decent amount. But, again, the diet is basically: get almost all of your calories from animal fat (four-legged animals, because of the particular fatty acid profile), eat enough protein but not in excess, and eat organ meats (liver, brain, etc.) once a week. I don't know how you make your judgments but if you look at any intervention by Zsófia Clemens she will strike you as an obviously decent person, these people are not charlatans. Also, this animal-based ketogenic approach is not unique to them, the "zerocarb" / "carnivore" community is also full of testimonials of people reversing various conditions, especially autoimmune disease. This high-fat approach tends to attract people who are in more difficult / urgent situations, such as late-stage, inoperable cancers.
- lambdaba 5y agoIf you're interested in a case of a person treating brain cancer successfully with a similar diet, look up Andrew Scarborough, he's presently a cancer researcher iirc, but he has been using such a diet for years to successfully put a rare inoperable brain cancer into remission.
