I would first like to say thank you, Dr. Baker. I found you through Mark Bell and took your advice about a carnivore diet, and it has completely given me my life back. About four years ago, I started experiencing pain in my hips, feet, and hands.
It progressively got worse and spread all over my body, and after a lot of doctor appointments with specialists, it was determined I had RA (rheumatoid arthritis.)
Conventional Medication Worsened My RA Symptoms
I was immediately put on the normal RA medications, but it continued to get worse to the point that I would go days without being able to get out of bed. The doctor upped the medication, and I experienced shortness of breath, even just sitting, not doing anything.
My blood pressure was at extreme levels to the point that when I went to the doctor and the nurse took my blood pressure, she went pale and rushed to get the doctor.
A Carnivore Diet: A Life-Changing Experience
Long story short, the medicine was killing me, and I wasn’t getting any better. I lost my heavy-lifting factory job, which means I lost insurance and couldn’t afford specialists and medications. I heard you and Mark Bell talk about the carnivore diet on his podcast and thought, what do I have to lose?
So I gave it a shot. Within two months time, my blood pressure was in completely normal ranges, my RA symptoms were completely gone, and I wasn’t experiencing any flare-ups. At this point, I am still off all prescription medications, including RA and blood pressure medications.
From Bed-Ridden To Weight Lifting: My Journey With The Carnivore Diet
I have not had any issues in three and a half years now and have gone from being stuck in bed in pain to working out in the gym, lifting weights 4 to 5 days a week, and being able to enjoy life with my wife and three kids, and now have a 4th on the way, something that wouldn’t be possible if I were still on the medications and suffering from my horrible autoimmune disease.
Meat Heals: How A Carnivore Diet Can Cure Autoimmune Diseases
Me and my wife have literally cried when we think about how far I’ve come and the fact that, at one point, we thought “normal” life was over. My entire family and I cannot thank you and Mark enough for all that you do in getting the word out about the carnivore diet and standing up and fighting to get the truth out.
Carnivore Diet: The Future Of Medicine?
Meat heals, and people deserve to know the truth, especially those who suffer daily through horrible life-altering autoimmune diseases.
Spreading The Word: The Importance Of Advocating For A Meat-Based Diet
I will continue the carnivore diet for the rest of my life (I’m only 35), and I will do my part to spread the word and all of the success stories to help fight the good fight and get the word out to the world that meat heals! Thank you, Dr. Baker. You have truly given me my life back!
Forever indebted to you,
Travis
