Jason improves Chronic Fatigue on carnivore diet

Hi, I’m Jason. I was perfectly healthy until 32, and then my immune system went off the rails.

Stabilizing My Conditions

I have found that eating only meat or fasting stabilizes my condition and removes the immune cytokines that cause flares. I was told I had Lyme’s. I have POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and other autonomic damage due to inflammation.

I had brain damage and memory loss and was disabled for years. I use doxycycline as an anti-inflammatory and nicotine gum to suppress my immune response, and those help a lot, but if I eat anything other than meat, I have edema all over my body.

Elimination Diet

I’m not entirely sure Lyme’s is the answer to CFS and the all-meat improvement, but I do know my immune system is overreactive.

My fasting experiments prove that. All the symptoms are from inflammation, long term. Going back to the 1970s, you’ve got people with autoimmune diseases who go into remission when put on an elemental diet, meaning pure glucose, amino acids, and fats, but no proteins that could flare them. No fiber. 

Meat, Freedom

We’re all on this spectrum, and unless people go through it, or their spouse goes through it, they will never understand the freedom eating only meat gives. It saves our lives. I need to be more consistent. I’m tired of being tired and nauseated all the damn time.
