My diabetes type I recovery story
Glad to know your are doing well. Environment and EMF are definitely a thing, specially for the ones that live in cities. When I travel to the countryside, something changes for the better. The best for you.
Reality is a type of wall that you cannot avoid and that's the reason why I have shared my journey. Thank you for the kind words.
The best to you all.
Quote from Retinoicon on August 2, 2023, 12:37 pmAs you might remember, i am the other guy who had type I/III diabetes and recovered from it with dietary changes. You are still the only other low-insulin guy who has not tested positive for type I antibodies that I have encountered on the internet.
I am glad you are doing well. I recovered from the low-insulin diabetes by eating a raw carnivore diet. I am still on that diet although I stopped eating vitamin A animal foods two years ago. I've been focusing on environmental toxins like EMFs and mold during the past year and more.
how are you doing otherwise with your raw carnivore diet? I am contemplating going back to that for a while maybe with a couple spoonful of beans added to it for fiber, because this healing is so painfully slow...lol I used to do great on raw carnivore before I poisoned myself slowly with the liver and excess amount of wild oysters I picked and ate - and nicotine gum.
I kinda miss the raw carnivore feeling........it made me so wild and energetic and my body looked more beautiful... Now I have some excess fat and cellulite still and I feel so overwhelmed by this trauma that comes up through this program, it does not help that I moved in and am renting a flat in my parents house - because from them them my trauma originates and now it feels like being re traumatized. I do so much work to let it heal but I can tell its not easy.
What was your diet like before you changed to raw meat?
RE: Edit: Also do southeast Asian countries do a good job diagnosing or reporting on autoimmunity? It's like how autism rates have soared and one theory is that doctors didn't look for and diagnose is as widely as before...possibly a factor?
This is a common tactic to divert attention from any environmental changes that may have occurred, so that no one can be blamed (not the medical establishment that administers the vaccines, not the food companies that fortify their food with vitamin A). So I would be wary of that argument.
One suspicion that I have, and that has been expressed by many others, is that a prolonged low-vitamin-A diet eats away at many important nutrients: vitamin C, vitamin B1, B2, selenium, choline, to name a few. And the deficiencies can become more pronounced over the years, making it more difficult to maintain the diet. And then people drop out of the experiment. I really wish that someone other than Grant would reach deficit levels and maintain them for years so that we could see what happens.
The question is, why hasn't Grant run into this problem if he's only eating "prison food" and is obviously "deficient" in some nutrients?
I am enjoying my raw carnivore diet. I eat 100% beef and only one meal a day. I try to eat fattier cuts and occasionally will eat fat trimmings and suet. I have experimented with eating beef heart now and again and don't see any issues. I am not using salt these days but do drink a lot of mineral water.
I started raw carnivore in April 2018 and have been consistent since, although I only dropped organ meats and the like around June 2021. I was on cooked carnivore for about a year before that (when I was a type 1 diabetic), starting March 2017. Between say 2008 and 2017 I was mostly low carb and paleo although there were periods where I was less compliant. I was trying to lose fat at some point in early 2016 with an all potato diet and I also spent a month in the spring of 2016 gorging on restaurant food in China. 🙂 Imagine all the cooking oil! I decided I was diabetic in July 2016 and started injection insulin for type 1 diabetes a month or two later. I was strict low carb from July 2016 and the change to carnivore in March 2017 was about dropping salads just to make it easier to dose insulin. I got off insulin in late May 2018 after the change to raw carnivore.
I haven't had the same vitamin A detox symptoms others report. I did get some short term benefits from cutting out organ meats and now I see no organ meats as just part of my diet, although I occasionally eat beef heart as I mention above.
@jeremy so you seem to have only benefited from the raw meat and water.... Are there still any issues you are suffering from health wise?
Do you think the diabetes appeared because you ate only potatoes and then China food? After having been low carb that long?
What was there short time benefits you got from dropping organs?
Sorry for all the questions but I am so curious 🙂
After dropping organs, I had more energy, etc.
I have for many years (before 2008) had low libido, low energy. I have had frequent urination for a while. I have dealt with moderate constipation. These symptoms come and go but I feel they have a lot to do with indoor and outdoor toxins. You need to stay clear of all that stuff for a few weeks at a time to get any healing.
My memory as to what benefits I saw immediately after stopping organs are hazy but I think I saw more energy and maybe less constipation.
As to what caused my diabetes, my current practitioner is focused on environmental toxins as well as blockages in the body that prevent appropriate detox. He feels blockages in the body are caused by unbalanced thought patterns developed over one's life. He is influenced a lot by Dietrich Klinghardt. I separately find a lot of the ideas of Jack Kruse to be interesting. But formally, no one had any idea during the two years I suffered from type I/III diabetes, even some quite out there practitioners like a well-read local chiropractor and Paul Saladino. Keep in mind that the condition @tiago and I may have is unusual.
Another health issue that I dealt with was gadolinium poisoning from MRI contrast dye used in scans in late 2017 and early 2018.
@jeremy, thank you for all the answers. You are so right that sometimes its hard to know what one is reacting too. Stress is a big factor imo. And that is why I became interested in trauma. I learned it has a lot to do with health and I totally agree. The body/liver cant detox properly when in a not-relaxed state. And trauma does that. Those deep traumas we cant even remember or just vaguely so, from our childhood.
How I see the world have become very different since I learned about trauma, and recognized how deep it was in myself. And how it had lead me into all these relationships with men that always failed. It made so much sense.
Now I am adding beans to help my liver detox, that poor thing have not been able to detox properly maybe most of my life.
What a ride this is 🙂 and some days are so freaking hard. Some are wonderful. I sometimes wish I would just have gone on as un counscious, it would for sure have been easier! But there is no turning back 😉 its impossible.
I even went on a Mexico cruise a few years ago with Jack Kruse, it was fun times 🙂 . He has a lot of interesting thoughts, I love the stuff about light. I might have been a little too hooked though like he was my guru, and as we know, that never goes well... so thats when I got hooked on nicotine gums and eat way too many oysters until I got bad heart palps.... I can only blame myself. I had this tendency to look up to "gurus" (forgetting and ignoring my own intelligence by doing so) and that clearly is from my childhood trauma, my trauma response was not fight or flight, but fawning. The fawn response was how I survived. And probably still is to a part. But at least now I am aware of it...
@inger It seems like we are on parallel paths of healing. Good luck on your journey.
On Jack Kruse, yeah, you have to take everything in moderation. I don't like how he dismisses mold and non-EMF environmental toxins with the slogan "redox not detox". His point is that a healthier person could do better detox, but I believe sunlight only is an inefficient way to get healthier if you also might be exposed to non-EMF environmental toxins. And he hasn't really done a deep dive into potential toxins in seafood, from what I have seen.
I think there’s more than enough southeast asian countries with reliable medical data. Think about Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan. I bring up south east asian countries to deter people from using propagandist arguments like diagnosis rates.
I could bring in pretty much all African countries as examples of non-existent autoimmune rates if I wanted to but it’s quite predictable what people’s responses will be.
