Anthony Chaffee MD The Hard Science Behind the Carnivore Diet, with Professor Bart Kay

Some of comments on this video

Hello Dr. Chaffee, I always enjoy your presentations; combined with Bart Kay, this one was fantastic. I discovered what I call the Carnivore Diet a few years ago and toyed with it on and off while maintaining a Ketogenic Diet of only whole, non-processed foods. Last year, however, I developed stage 3 anal cancer (HPV related), the news of which hit me in the head like a runaway baseball bat. Of course, all of those who criticized my meat-heavy diet told me that it was the meat and not the virus that caused my cancer; I, however, disagreed, vehemently. Following my own research, I discovered that fasting made chemotherapy extremely bearable but unfortunately, radiation on the ole bung-hole is a pain probably worse than childbirth. I suffered through the standard of care with my head up, I figured that if cancer doesn’t kill me, it may be the best thing that ever happened to me, how? The day of my diagnosis, I pledged to myself that I would maintain a strict meat and water only diet, continue strength training with the attitude that for me to survive, I must be stronger than my opponent, and learn to accept the inevitable, that one day like all life forms, I too will die, but not today. A year later, I’m now cancer-free according to the PET scan I had last week. My oncologist (a truly wonderful guy despite his nutritional ignorance) told me that during this stressful time, I should be rewarding myself with all the wonderful, sugary things that make me happy, that I deserve it. I looked him squarely in the eye and said “I don’t think I want to do that; I want a steak.” If the good Lord sees fit to give me a long life, I just turned 60, I plan to share this diet with anyone traversing down the very scary road of cancer recovery. Thanks for all you do!

I have been hypertensive for 7 years, on and off meds and tried every diet you can think of. 6 weeks carnivore and for the first time in years my readings are under 120/70. This was the only thing that helped me lower my blood pressure after trying hundreds of supplements, diets and exercise programs.
 

Since going carnivore my anxiety has dropped off considerably, I can also focus better. My poor gut health is steadily improving. Thank you for all of the valuable information. It’s much appreciated.

It really really has helped in mental health ( my depression/anxiety ) as well.
