Autoimmune Aren't Diseases. They Are Poisoning, and it is Reversible.

First, we know. This is a very bold statement.

But the question is, is it true? Are toxins in our foods the cause of most of these so-called diseases?

It is a narrow prediction, and therefore fairly easy to test.

If we adhere to the Karl Popper / David Deutsch theory of epistemology — and we use the scientific method of starting with problems — what we should be doing is simply trying to prove this theory wrong. The good news is we don’t need citations, or corruptible studies, or opaque corporations, or government agencies to help us test this out. Most of us have control over what we eat and drink on a daily basis. So this is an experiment that is easily repeatable by everyone, including you or anyone you might know who has autoimmune disorders, mental illnesses, and more.

Of course an experiment like this cannot be a blind study, because people know what they are eating based on taste. But we can still do large numbers of results-based independent experiments here.

For example, three years ago one of our ghostwriters, Josh Ketry, started having some horrible symptoms. He was off balance, his vision was jumping around, he had hot and cold flashes, intense brain fog, and mysterious shooting pains. Pretty much all of the classic symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis — which is prevalent where he lives. It came to a point where he wasn’t able to do many of the things he loved — such as train jiu jitsu. He was even having trouble driving a vehicle. As time progressed his symptoms seemed to be getting worse.

Josh tells the story:

“When I first got in to see my primary care doctor, he told me it sounded like I had been poisoned. That initial statement shocked me, and has always stuck with me. Luckily, not long into my symptoms I saw a video of my friend George Vahamonde on the internet. He had severe MS (Multiple Sclerosis) to the point where he was doing chemo, had lost bladder control, was basically bed ridden, and his brain scan looked like Swiss Cheese from the lesions caused by the disease. But then… suddenly he was feeling great, living his best life — all because of a drastic diet change he made. So of course, I reached out to see what exactly he was doing. He told me he was doing strict carnivore diet. The key word being ‘strict.’”

This was at the height of the pandemic craze, and getting in to see doctors and specialists was back-logged for months. Plus, MS is notoriously hard to diagnose; sometimes it can take years to properly do so. So rather than wait, Josh decided to take matters into his own hands and follow suit.

Josh continues, “Instead of sitting around waiting and feeling sorry for myself, or putting my entire fate in the hands of the medical establishment, I decided to take ownership for my wellness. I knew my doctor wasn’t sitting at home thinking about my illness at night like I was. I had a problem, so why not try something myself if I could? And with the results I saw from George, I thought, why not try that? So I did. I cut out all food except beef, salt and water to see where it would go. By week six, most of my symptoms had resided. By the six month mark, all of them were gone. But the crazy thing is, that isn’t all that happened. I also lost 40lbs, stopped the chronic inflammation in my body, stopped snoring, lowered my blood pressure, and stopped dead in its tracks nearly a decade long battle with panic disorder and anxiety. That was the biggest shock to me. To go nearly ten years with daily panic attacks — sometimes ten or more per day — to having none. They were just gone. In fact it is coming up on my three year anniversary now since starting carnivore diet, and I have not had a single panic attack since. Not to mention, all of my other symptoms related to MS are gone, and I am feeling as good as I ever have.”

Josh’s story isn’t unique. In fact we have seen it now many times. This process seems to be predictable, repeatable, and we have hundreds of people within our circle who have followed suit and have cured their autoimmune diseases and mental disorders with simple diet change. We don’t use the word “cure” lightly either. George’s brain remyelinated. His scans now come back negative. That means not only are all of his symptoms gone, but also the lesions on his brain have disappeared. And he isn’t the only one. We have written about people curing their Ulcerative Colitis, Type 2 Diabetes, Clinical Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar disorder and much much more several times including HERE and HERE.

As David Deutsch points out in his brilliant book, The Fabric of Reality, predictions are not enough for science to achieve. Good explanations should be the goal. So what are the good explanations for all of this increase in disease in our modern era? Shouldn’t disease be going down as technology advances?

If we take any health metric over time and examine it, nearly all categories are getting worse. Autoimmune diseases, heart disease, cancer, and even mental disorders are becoming more prevalent. With such drastic negative change in such a short time the cause simply cannot be just genetics, as some health experts have argued. Genes take time to mutate and spread through populations. Whatever has happened to the health of humanity has to be from an outside factor. That means either food, water, air, medicines, or a combination of them all. Look at any graph of disease prevalence over time and it becomes obvious that whatever is causing these problems cannot be ancient foods. Steak, eggs and milk are not the problem. In fact those three foods are some of the only foods that humans can eat - just that one item alone - and not need to supplement in anyway. Ask Josh, who ate nothing but red meat, salt and water for well over a year without any supplements (he later added some dairy and organic fruit). It doesn’t make sense for humans most nutritious and oldest food sources to suddenly switch to being a danger to them. Whatever the problem with our modern health is, it has to be something new in our environment. While this could be a variety of things, the food is what changed the most during the last 100 years. And when we reverse that change back to the way it used to be - with whole organic foods by shopping the outside aisles of the supermarket — it seems that most of these diseases go away.

In other words, when we challenge the hypothesis that foods are the root cause of most chronic diseases, and we run thousands of independent experiments, what keeps happening is that people are curing themselves — that is the result we are seeing over and over. Thus, turning the hypothesis into a theory backed with strong evidence.

What is really happening here?

If you dive into the autoimmune online communities, and study and examine the populations who are claiming to cure themselves, there seem to be culprits in the food supply that trigger many of these diseases. As people begin to heal themselves, they can slip into symptoms once again if they stray away from their strict elimination diets like carnivore. The pattern then emerges that highlights what foods seem to be triggers. The reoccurring ones seem to be fortified foods with folic acid, soy, nuts, grains, processed sugars, chemicals, dyes, preservatives, and especially seed oils (vegetable oils) like we wrote about HERE. For seed oils, the processed ones high in linoleic acids such as Canola, Sunflower Seed, Corn, and Soy seem to ignite the most symptoms. This makes sense to us, as from nature’s perspective plants don’t really want their seeds ground up and drank. Many of the world’s worst poisons such as ricin and cyanide come from seeds.

Back to our initial headline, are ALL autoimmune diseases reversible? No. Type 1 diabetes doesn’t seem to be, even though managing insulin seems to be incredibly easier on diets like carnivore. But the other diseases seem to be mostly — if not all — reversible. Thus our bold initial statement.

That said, some people might have too much damage to reverse all of their symptoms. We aren’t making the claim that all autoimmune problems are caused by food. In fact there is another hypothesis that some of them are caused by lack of nutrients. This is a difficult thing to test independently, and there is a possibility that it could be both a combination of toxins in our food, and lack of nutrients in our diets. Hard to say. But food seems to be the main driver either way.

The shocker is, why isn’t the FDA noticing and acting on this? This is more than just negligence when these agencies choose to go after farmers who produce raw milk and other nutritious foods instead of the ones adding Roundup to our cereals. In fact, it seems a lot like collusion and corruption.

To show just how corrupt our systems of food have become, think about this: When the cigarette companies started to come under fire for the horrible cancers their products lead to and the deceptive marketing they practiced, they switched over to foods. Philip Morris International — Marlboro — now owns brands like Kraft and General Foods. Reynolds American, is now Nabisco. There are literally people at these food companies whose job it is to make us more addicted to their foods. That is their job description. The result is most of us are addicted to foods that are bad for us — just like the cigarette companies had with tobacco products 40 years ago. Food is the new smoking. And if you don’t think you are addicted we challenge you to try and quit for 8 weeks by doing strict carnivore diet - no condiments, no creamers just meat salt and water.

Sound difficult? That’s because it is. Someone got us addicted to their poisons.

Even more alarming are the conflicting studies. For example Harvard published THIS awesome study on carnivore diet where 95% of the over 2000 participants showed improved overall health. Their findings have absolutely been our experience with carnivore as well. People getting off decades worth of medications, losing 150lbs, fixing years of depression, bipolar, anxiety, autoimmune and more. We have seen this with our own eyes. For type 2 diabetes we have seen nearly a 100% success rate of reversing the disease with carnivore diet. So that’s why we were shocked to see Harvard publish THIS almost laughable study linking red meat to diabetes. They almost have to be corrupted to even try and publish this. Their methodology was clearly flawed, and they could have easily studied strict carnivores instead of doing this poorly designed study. This adds yet another frustrating disappointment in losing trust in our institutions. Even the systems of science seem to be corrupted.

Lastly, some people like to devolve this conversation into vegan vs carnivore. But we don’t view it like that at all. What it should be is health first - based on results and metrics and especially outcomes for sick patients. Next, we should be looking at harm to the land, animals, and more. Regenerative farming should be the goal, and factory farming should be phased out for both crops and animal husbandry. But health should always be goal number one. If you can achieve this kind of health recovery with vegan diets, that is awesome! But we have not seen the same results as we have with carnivore — at least not yet — especially when it comes to curing autoimmune diseases. There is always the simple truth that most plants are defended with chemicals, and humans can only eat a small percentage of the plants on Earth. But nearly all meats are safe to eat except a few like poison dart frogs. Also, all vegan diets must be supplemented. Carnivore requires no additional supplementing for the most part.

The other problem for vegans is that most of our crops are sprayed with chemicals. Recent studies showed that nearly all major beer and wine brands had measurable levels of glyphosate - the main ingredient in the weed killer Roundup - in them. The same was true with cereals. In addition, a huge portion of the population cannot process folic acid, yet that chemical — which does not appear in nature anywhere — is sprayed on all non-organic breads, pastas, and more. You can be a vegan and eat Oreos and pizza and nothing else. So vegan is a much bigger spectrum than carnivore is and therefore is difficult to measure head to head with carnivore.

The sad fact remains: nearly all processed foods contain herbicides, insecticides, and heavy metals, on top of the fact that someone is sitting in an office somewhere following their job description and getting paid to try and make you addicted to them.

“I often think back to what my doctor told me that first day in his office when I came in with my autoimmune symptoms,” Josh summarizes. “Maybe he was right. Maybe I was being poisoned after all.”
