I’ve followed a low oxalate diet for 10 years. I gave them up when the smoothies i was drinking made with spinach gave me such bad vertigo I thought I was having a stroke. I had already given up histamine foods and lectins. With all of those gone I hardly had a single problem. No vertigo, no pressure in my ears, no stuffy nose, no inflamed throat. Life was good! But then I started giving up the rest of the vegetables and save fruit for special occasions. I feel even better! I’ve rarely been able to breathe out of my left nostril - my entire life it’s been stuffed up. But with carnivore, I can breathe out of both nostrils. No mouth breathing! I feel like I’m breathing deeply for the first time! It makes me joyous! Breathing is cool! And I fast 18 hours most days. I feel great. I love not thinking about food all the time. I love not living in recovery from my last meal. Food doesn’t have to destroy us?! Who knew?! I KNOW now.

Explains why I’ve been getting so much nerve pain and have a rash that won’t go away. I was eating so Many foods with Oxalates I’m dumping an incredible amount of oxalate. Explains the tiny greasy yellow crystals coming out to the rash pustules. I’ve had so many diagnoses by even Functional Medical Practitioners over the past 14 years. Thank you for so much for so clearly explaining this. I’m carnivore since 9 January and it has not been an easy transition. You are Both very useful and kind legends!

Ex partner suffered for years with chronic abdominal problems. Has several exploritory surgeries and was told that it was all in her mind. Turned out she had an intolerance to salycylate which is found in numerous fruits and vegetables, basically a poison designed to protect them from being eaten....the healthier she thought zhe was eating the worse she became. Cut out all fruit and vegetables and was pain free within a week. As a bonus her tinitus also improved dramatically.

My husband and I started Keto about 4 years ago, as seems to be the norm we dramatically increased nuts, seeds, dark chocolate etc..I made bread out of ground flaxseed, Almond flour, chia seeds and others and added turmeric and black pepper too! We ate loads and loads of salad and cruciferous veggies! I started having bladder issues, went to doctor, had scans etc nothing showing up as being wrong with me. It seemed to come and go at that point, then April last year it became really bad (I was suspecting I now had interstitial cystitis) after research I heard about some sufferers going on a low oxalate diet....anyway I started Carnivore to see if it could help - I have a friend who was carnivore and it helped her. Within a month I felt so much better in lots of ways. I find I have to be on the lion diet to be okay. 9 months later I'm a lot better, still some sensitivity every now and then (probably when I'm oxalate clearing) but I feel so much better most of the time. Carnivore for life for me. Great interview. Also Sally Norton's book Toxic Superfoods is a must - learned so much.

I'm 50 and did Keto about 3 years ago, overloaded on oxalates as you describe above. I ate Keto for about 12 months, by the end of that period, ended up in hospital 3 times with heart arrhythmia's AF and VF. These episodes would last up to an hour, almost died once. Feared to drive as might pass out... for about 6 - 8 months this went on. Took about 12 to 18 months to finally get rid off (including heavy oxalate dumping). Discovered myself that oxalates were a problem. The heart specialist had no idea why I was getting these issues. No one asked about diet, my cardiovascular system was healthy, so no one could figure it out. I thought it was electrical.... turns out Oxalates bind with calcium (an electrolyte) and there's the start of your problems including kidney stones etc. From the 1850s through the early 1900s, oxalate poisoning was well-recognized. Back then, it was referred to as Oxalic Acid Diathesis. The other two contributing factors are Artificial Sugars and Glyphosate. Artificial sugars such as Sucralose destroy your healthy gut bacteria, which leads to numerous issues. Glyphosate present in foods, sprayed at home, sprayed on crops to dry them out before harvest, is known to affect gut health, Sulphation and may produce endogenous Oxalates, plus who knows what else. MY advice is don't do any type of extreme diet, however Healthy Variety is key with a leaning toward Carnivore. I avoid high oxalate foods, a little of medium ones. I now eat Eggs, meat, Sauerkraut, fruit, a little vege/bread/dairy and try to avoid as much processed food as possible.

Also, I have to add that when I tried to eat vegetables for months later, it did not go well for me. My joint pain immediately came back that night. I said that’s it no more I cannot do it. Who would have thought vegetables were causing my joint pain. That’s another thing that got better.
@ajs3994
Wow, cycles of oxalate dumping explains so much of what has been happening. Thanks for relieving some worries, it's actually a very good thing.
@joburns4747
this is the best video on oxalates I've seen yet. very easy to understand and explanations for the flareups during dumping!
@lesahardman9914
Oh my hell, no matter what I eat I can find a YouTube channel that tells me it's going to kill me
@goddessinfinity1
I tried to do a carnivore diet and almost died from oxalate dumping. My face broke out with many bumps (I still have scarring from them), and became paralyzed. I had to go to the emergency room and they could not diagnose what was wrong. I had immense chest pain and became immobilized. Please be very careful if you try to dump oxalates. Outside of childbirth this was one of the most excruciating experience in my life.
@Nitronerd
Ketos veggies literally made me so constipated, I ended up with double hernia, surgery and painful 6-week recovery. Specifically, 6-10 cups a day of salad - Lettice, tomato, cucumber, onion, olive oil, a little red wine vinegar and a few spices. After surgery, I fasted mostly because I was afraid to go and reinjure myself. Slowly, I began eating meat. But suspected the veggies had made me sick. Sure enough, you know the story. Why I'm mostly carnivore for last couple of years. No major issues.
@lilnallie05
I have MS i have been on carnivore on 13 days and my pain hasn’t come back and this has been a god send because I was close to just having bread. I was vegan and had spinach and blueberries smoothies every day for years.
@niluferermete1934
He has explained everthing concerning this subject in a nutshell in one podcast. Fantastic. Thank you both of you.
@synergywithsarahshawn
❤🙏 Thank you so much! I’ve struggled so much, and was one of the many you tried Carnivore and went from debilitated with muscle and nerve pain to SO MUCH BETTER to absolutely terrible with weird symptoms. Many of the carnivore docs, bless and love them, didn’t talk about Oxalate dumping at all. Super important info ❣️Thank uou

I was eating Almond Butter for a couple years. I passed an extremely painful kidney stone back in early 2021. That led me to start a more carnivore lifestyle.
@ElizabethRussell144
Our ancestors used to have techniques that they prepared foods with to make them more edible (such as sprouting grains and seeds, culturing/fermentation, also food combining - eat this with this not that, but other techniques as well). The book Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon educates in how to use the forgotten techniques of our ancestors. Also the late Dr. Weston Price (look up his foundation online) studied food preparation from around the world back in the day and demonstrated the superior health of those who used those food preparation techniques. These time-tested techniques remove or transmute anti-nutrients from food and/or make them more digestible bioavailable.
@honkymonkey9568
A few years ago I started drinking spinach smoothies. After about a week I started getting neck pain and stiffness that got worse every day until I couldn't turn my head without severe pain. I deduced by Googling that it was caused by the oxalates in the spinach. So, I Googled how to reverse it and I read to drink apple cider vinegar. It worked wonderfully and after about a week I was back to normal.
@Jennifer-gr7hn
It's sure what it feels like in the kidneys, ureters, bladder .....shards of glass. All makes sense! Every passing day I'm learning what we're just not learning. And I've been a nurse a long time. And a patient. Excellent information
@ammovette
It’s safe to believe that not every food in our environment is edible by everyone.
