I was quoting Mercola”s old work solely about the linoleic acid in canola oil and shouldn’t have implied it was a good choice. I'm eating only animal products now and am still adjusting. Mercola has progressively become problematic and i recently abandoned him totally.

I'm very open to much of what you share. But my spidey sense alerts me to the inclusion of canola oil as a good option. I know better. Why include that when there's so much credible information about how bad canola oil is in the healthy food movement? When I saw that I went from reading your piece closely to skimming the remainder with higher scrutiny. What gives? Please disabuse me of my understanding of canola oil?

Also check out Jordan Peterson’s interview w/ Dr Chris Palmer (podcast episode #422). He is a medical doctor & psychiatric researcher. You’ll be floored by the changes they’ve seen in patients w/bipolar, schizophrenia, etc by changing to a carnivore/keto diet.

All I can say is from my personal N of one experience - I have not eaten plants since the start of 2019 and I have never felt better in every way possible, mind and body.

I started it to disprove the idea that humans are obligate carnivores. I used to love my plants aka fruit n veg and thought not eating them preposterous. However, even after the first week I felt better and after a month it seems to me a no-brainer. All my digestive problems are gone and my mental health SO mcuh better, despite onerous times. Heck, had I not started being plant free in 2019 I might even have fallen for the crap which followed a year later.

This way of eating has subsequently helped friends and family regain health. It's the way to go. I think. I am still open to not yet having found the right question to ask to get a different, better answer so am hanging my hat on it being correct, while leaving the door open to new ideas. That's the scientific way, right?

Hi Dr. Yoho...please start 7 mg nicotine patch (Rugby Brand Amazon) daily. Then go to Dr. Ardis DC website ....yes published articles on using nicotine for Parkinsons, with abolishment of the symptoms and signs.

Hard to believe, but hey hope it works for you. JJAdams MD MDH Sedona Az.

Also works for C19 short and long haulers , with a study noted that shows complete amelioration of sx in 21 days after 7 days use, also normalizes immune overstimulation, like needling TH17 to increase vagustone,therefore decreasing excessive inflammation. JJA..screw canola oil rapeseed

I so appreciate your willingness to do deep dives and share your journey with us. As for this article. I do not believe that there is one diet that is good for all. I have been a vegetarian (not vegan) for over 40 years and I am one of the most healthy people I know. I choose not to eat meat for spiritual and humane reasons and it works for me. Back in the day when people raised their own animals for food or hunted it was part of the circle of life. If one is eating factory farmed animals what you are putting in your body is lot's of misery and suffering. This is a huge part of the discussion. We have been mind controlled out of being in tune with our own knowingness. Instead of listening to whatever fad or food of the month that is being promoted, listen to your body and your inner guidance and you will know what to eat. You will sense that something is beneficial or not . This might change from day to day or year to year. Also how we eat is important. Are you sitting around a table with people you love taking in that love vibration? Are you eating alone consciously and grateful for the food before you? Are you savoring your food or simply cramming it in your mouth? OK I admit I do not always follow my own advise . The point is there are so many variables to what and how we eat and it is an individual process for each of us. The mind body connection is so important in all facets of health and food is only one component. We all need to learn to trust our own guidance . My overall belief is lovingly grow or raise as much of your food as you can or get it from trusted farmers or ranchers. Stay away from eating processed food on a regular basis . Food that has been messed with via pesticides or GMO'd is something to always keep away from. Enjoy what you eat and bless it even if it is something you would not normally partake in.

Great post, and agree with much of what you have written.

Like FF, I try to stay away from Canola oil.

If we're craving fries, I'll use lard, much the same as any authentic fish 'n chips shop does.

Any light frying, is butter on cast iron pan.

Totally agree on beef....

I found out yesterday that infant formula in America is required to have seed oils specifically for the omega-6 fatty acids. I shouldn’t be shocked by these things anymore but I was.

Thanks for the interesting post. My question for your functional doctors is what happens to the gut microbiota when the carnivore diet contributes no fiber and no variety of fiber? My understanding is when the good bacteria aren't fed fiber, the bad bacteria take over and that this dysbiosis is a root cause of inflammation and neurological and auto-immune diseases.

Dr Yoho said: "But now, my functional doctors have all advised me that this is the best single treatment for Parkinson’s." No... This is the best single treatment for EVERYTHING! Why? Because it is a total elimination diet... Gluten and grains in general (along with all the crap they spray on them) gone, or at least often processed through a ruminant animal. Some people have to ditch dairy, or even egg whites, but most are fine with them. So, starting with the Lion Diet version of Carnivore is one option for starting and then after a few weeks (or longer) adding in other items that still fit into carnivore. All you have to do is watch the first 5 minutes of a bunch of youtube videos to hear the raft of ailments people are losing in no time. Carnivore takes health to new heights!

I’m trying to get my rapidly declining mom to try this. But she and my whacko vegan “science teacher” sis will never ever listen to a word that I say. I give up. The results for me have been astounding. But they only trust “experts” as the results are worse and worse. Not loved ones or direct testimony. That is all anti science and hate.

I could never give up meat....I have always felt better eating meat for breakfast lunch and dinner. I still love a salad but just at night. I am now putting tallow on my face 8nstead of creams,,,will let you know how it goes. BTW since I was a child I always loved the crispy fat 9n top of the roast and would sneak into the kitchen to get it.

Are lambs ruminants?

I am also dairy crazy..love cream and half and half. Can't stand even whole milk....but I gotta stop eating ice cream every night...sigh...imtrying to cut down on sugar but there's a limit I can go....and I am not sure honey would work in ,y homemade ice cream...

Oh bread.....I love bread..I ration it..lately the artifical French bread you buy at ,Market changed,,it tastes horrible..so I am trying to make my own with French flour..I know it's bad for you but that's another thing I don't seem to be able to give up .

But I could see living on beef....

Wishing you so much good outcome from your new eating way. Works miracles..most famous case is Jordan Peterson....

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences as you travel down the right path. I'll share a couple of thoughts as I read:

The true OG carnivore source was Owsley Stanley, most famous for his creating Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze and his association with The Grateful Dead and the evolution of concert sound systems. He discovered the carnivore diet in 1958 while he was a ballet dancer. The rest of the ballet troup had gone vegan; he went carnivore. They weakened; he strengthened. He spent the rest of his life without a morsel of plant food and he wrote a lot about it, which you can find here:

As for this comment section's agitated and aggravated vegan stereotype and his insufferable lack of self-control and slavish dedication to vegan mythology:
