What is the Carnivore Diet and How Does it Reverse Diseases?

The Carnivore Diet is getting mainstream news coverage these days, in a positive way. Fox News just published an article on the Carnivore Diet highlighting the story of a man in Florida who claims he went on a Carnivore Diet that healed him of "decades of battling severe psoriasis, pain and depression." The concepts of the "Carnivore Diet" have been around since the 1930s, when a Dr. Vilhjalmur Stefansson, a Canadian ethnologist who spent more than a decade with the Inuit people in the Arctic, ate a traditional Eskimo diet consisting mostly of only fish and meat. He was so healthy, it prompted him to study the diet more closely. Stefansson's results show that this was not a "high meat" diet primarily, as protein only consisted of 15-25%, but it was primarily a "high fat" diet, and saturated fats at that, which made up 75-85% of the diet. So while this is called the "Carnivore Diet", it is primarily the "Ketogenic Diet," which was developed about a decade earlier in the 1920s at Johns Hopkins hospital as a natural cure for epilepsy, when drugs failed. It was a high fat, moderate protein, very low carb diet. A search for the "Ketogenic Diet" on Health Impact News will result in over 130 articles on the topic, documenting how people's lives have been changed by following a high fat, moderate protein, and low carb diet.

How the Simple High-Fat Low-Carb Ketogenic Diet Continues to Change People’s Lives

While Big Pharma continues to pump out new drugs for an increasingly sick and diseased American population, especially in recent times with novel new weight loss drugs, one natural diet has withstood years of critical attacks from mainstream medicine with over 100 years now of evidence on how effective it is to fight modern diseases: The Ketogenic Diet. A search on this diet on Health Impact News will net over 100 articles on this amazing diet. The ketogenic diet was developed at Johns Hopkins hospital in the 1920s as a natural cure for epilepsy, when drugs failed. It is a high fat diet restricting carbohydrates, and origins of the health benefits of the diet date all the way back to ancient Greece. Various fad diets in modern times have been based on the principles of the ketogenic diet, such as the "Atkins diet" and the "Paleo diet." The diet fell out of favor during the anti-saturated fat campaign started in the U.S. and codified into official government dietary advice in the 1970s as a result of the McGovern Report. “Saturated fat is bad” is still official government dietary policy today, and the core belief of most Americans, who have been deceived for decades into believing that a low-fat high-carb diet is preferable. This supports the now debunked erroneous  "cholesterol" theory of heart disease. Big Pharma had been unable to sufficiently suppress this diet that is such a big threat to their drug-therapy models, due to the millions of people worldwide who have experienced success on the diet. So they have tried to mimic it with patented drugs, instead. I was pleased to see a new study published this month on how the diet was being used for Pediatric Epilepsy Care in India, by developing a diet based on natural foods available to people in India, particularly coconut oil. No drugs needed!

The High Fat Low Carb Ketogenic Diet is Curing Schizophrenia and Other “Mental Diseases” while Eliminating Dangerous Psych Drugs

The ketogenic diet was developed at Johns Hopkins hospital in the 1920s as a natural cure for epilepsy, when drugs failed. It is a high fat diet restricting carbohydrates. The diet fell out of favor during the anti-saturated fat campaign started in the U.S. and codified into official government dietary advice in the 1970s as a result of the McGovern Report. “Saturated fat is bad” is still official government dietary policy today, due to the influence of the vegetable oil industry which produces their products from the highly subsidized corn and soybean crops, and also due to Big Pharma's totally debunked junk science that claims cholesterol is bad, and needs to be kept low artificially through cholesterol-lowering drugs to prevent heart disease. If you search for "ketogenic diet" on Health Impact News, you will find over 130 articles documenting how this diet cures many modern diseases, with plenty of testimonials as well. We have also published almost 700 articles exposing the cholesterol myth. A survey of the peer-reviewed scientific literature was published in 2013 regarding the Ketogenic Diet which showed how this diet was curing "Diverse Neurological Disorders". In more recent years, there have been many new studies examining the effects of a high fat low carbohydrate diet on treating most "mental diseases", including helping people with "mental disease" diagnoses wean themselves off of the highly toxic and dangerous psych drugs. The leading researcher in much of this is Dr. Christopher M. Palmer, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. I consider Dr. Palmer a psychiatrist "whistleblower", because his research shows how many people are going into total remission of psychiatric symptoms through the Ketogenic Diet, without the use of psych drugs, which of course is a terrible business model for the lucrative pharmaceutical industry (actually curing people instead of selling them drugs to continually treat their symptoms).
