@newstart_2024 The Inuit should by themselves inform us as to how silly the question itself is.

@ScottPresler @EarlyVoteAction South Dakota is home for me. I'll help however I can to primary the embarrassment that is @LeaderJohnThune

@texasrunnerDFW At 48, I had grown tired of being tired. I evolved away from carbs and into a high fat carnivore diet. I'm back at my high school weight, off multiple meds and feel 35 again. It is definitely possible.

@SamaHoole Olive Oil infused with Calendula works well as a component in whipped tallow lotion at about 14%. It doesn't actually make it into the food section of my kitchen.

You won't know until you try, then you will want everyone else to know

The strangest thing about going carnivore is the problems it solves that you didn't know you had.

The body has a remarkable capacity to adapt to its own quiet dysfunction. Low-grade inflammation becomes the baseline. The morning stiffness becomes "getting older." The 3pm energy crash becomes "needing a coffee." The bloated feeling after meals becomes "just how meals feel." The fog when you sit down to work becomes "lacking discipline."

The mild eczema, the post-nasal drip, the unexplained anxiety, the joints that click, the sleep that never quite restores, the mood that dips on Sundays for no obvious reason. All of it gets filed under normal, because it's been there long enough to be unremarkable.

Then you take the trigger foods out. All of them. For long enough that the system stops being inflamed by what you're feeding it.

And the rug comes out from under you.

The autoimmune condition you'd resigned yourself to managing for life goes quiet. The eczema clears. The IBS, the one you'd been carrying since university, simply stops happening. The hay fever drops a category. The migraines thin out. The reflux disappears. The mood lifts in a way that isn't joy, exactly, but the absence of a low background hum you'd assumed was just the sound of being alive.

You sleep through the night. You wake up without an alarm. The 3pm crash never arrives. The anxiety that felt like a personality trait turns out to have been a blood sugar problem in a costume.

None of this gets diagnosed. None of it goes on a chart. The doctor will not be informed, because the doctor was never measuring any of it.

You only notice in hindsight, three months in, when something you'd lived with for fifteen years is conspicuously absent and you can't quite remember when it left.

Carnivore doesn't add anything magical. It takes the constant assault away and lets the body return to factory settings.

And the factory settings, it turns out, are extraordinary. The version of you that existed before the cereal, before the seed oils, before the decades of low-grade siege, is still in there. Waiting. Quietly intact.

Six weeks of meat and butter and you will meet that person again.

You will not want to go back.

They're all symptoms of the same root problem. When you eat garbage, your body starts looking like a waste disposal. Two years of choosing a different path is all the proof I need to know there is a better way.

[Mark Kaplan @markkaplan20]

Five diseases. One chart. 50 years.

Obesity up 1,000%.
Diabetes up 637%.
Alzheimer's up 500%.
Cancer up 216%.
Heart disease up 100%.

All rising. All together. All since 1975.

These are not five separate diseases. They are five symptoms of one disease.

A foodborne illness.

The food changed. The guidelines changed. Fat was replaced with sugar. Butter was replaced with seed oils. Real food was replaced with 10,000 chemicals your grandmother would not recognize.

And every one of these lines followed.

Your doctor treats them as five separate problems. Five specialists. Five prescriptions. Nobody connects the dots.

The root cause is metabolic. The science is clear. And the solution starts with what you eat, what you test, and what you stop believing.

Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle lost his Senate seat in the 2004 election. It was the first time in 52 years that a Senate leader lost their seat. Daschle lost his seat to John Thune. I say this with all due respect to South Dakotans… do it again.

[Tim Kurbis @TimKurbis]

From what I was taught when younger and what I see now, it's the same issue. So many of us are conditioned to think short term which leaves us unable to conceptualize a 30 year reward on disciplined investing. People respond to tangible assets even if they are depreciating and fleeting. I had to reset and re-train my synapses to reward different stimuli before it became intuitive to plan for a future farther out than next week.

[Tim Kurbis @TimKurbis]

Solid responses, and I appreciate the logical reasoning rather than hyperbole.

Don’t be afraid of a 6 month home renovation.

Those 12 months will be the most fulfilling 2 years of your life.

@0hour1 Foreign born and now proud American here. I support this completely!

@alphafox I think I just found my new breakfast. With an egg on each one instead of the bun, but I'm looking forward to Saturday morning.

[Tim Kurbis @TimKurbis]

@TyBealPhD Thanks, but no thanks. My thyroid, muscles and joints all are much healthier without oxalates.

[Tim Kurbis @TimKurbis]

For me it did, but it takes a while. I've been fully carnivore for 20 months or so. I had to get past fat adaptation and get the oxalates out. Then I started taking 3 drops of Lugols iodine each day and cut out the thyroid medication about 12 months in. I feel better than I did 20 years ago and no more thyroid issues.

[Tim Kurbis @TimKurbis]

My heart breaks for my country of birth. Then I remember that they've chosen this for themselves. I know there'll be those who voted for better, but a country that teaches children that the government is the arbiter of freedom and rights eventually accepts anything the government does. Without a cultural DNA born in blood and rooted in independence, the outcome is inevitable.

[Herb Powell @Humanlty1o1]

WOW

I was just going through some Canada stats and…this is actually insane

Like not “things are tough” insane but
I mean something is seriously off.

We are not acting like a serious country anymore. 🇨🇦

I spent the first 20 years of my life drinking milk that went from our barn to our fridge. Everyone did back then. The Hutterites in the Northern Plains and Canadian Prairie provinces still do. If there are any safety concerns, they would stem from poor hygiene practices when milking or storing which can be ameliorated by knowing the source

[Tim Kurbis @TimKurbis]

It comical to a South Park level to hear people claim my body is lying to me and the doctor who kept adding meds as I got older knows better.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

Carnivore has been running long enough now.

It is not a new thing. The case studies, the five-year practitioners, the ten-year practitioners: they exist in numbers large enough that we should be seeing the catastrophic outcomes we were warned about.

The scurvy. The kidney failure. The arterial calcification. The thyroid implosion. The colon damage.

We are not seeing them.

What we are seeing: people who came with IBS, autoimmune conditions, metabolic syndrome, chronic fatigue, and a medication list, and who are, years later, largely without those things.

The experts would like you to believe that the better you feel on this diet, the worse it's secretly going to be in the long run. That the body is somehow conspiring to fool you. That the health you're experiencing is a trap.

This is a strange position. It requires you to distrust your own body's signals on behalf of an institution that did not predict those signals and cannot explain them.

Your body is not tricking you.

It is working.

That is allowed to be the explanation.
