A good friend of mine who has had this his whole life just recently began to smoke pot when he feels at his very worst. He claims that it has helped in those moments, but that he doesn't think it would help with the smaller pains and problems.

Do you think you could get him to switch to an organic carnivore diet?

I doubt it, but maybe. He is, unfortunately, quite indoctrinated when it comes to mainstream scientific beliefs. It took me many years to get him to warm up to the studies done on pot, but I never stopped trying. If there are plenty of reports and papers talking about an organic carnivore diet being helpful in this regard, then I would have a better chance because, with him, I have to drown his doubts under scientific data (which I currently do not have)

I hadn't even heard of this until seeing your recent comments here. I've been looking into it, but I've found more stuff talking against it than for it. If you have relevant information, I'll gladly look into it. Not just for him, but for myself as well. I cut gluten out of my diet last year, and it has been a great experience. I've often felt like there are other things I could be doing better when it comes to my diet.

On a side note, a friend of mine with muscular dystrophy smokes often and finds it to be incredibly helpful with her PT. I wonder if she would also benefit from an organic carnivore diet.

This is pretty much the ultimate resource, documenting how traditional carnivores were all essentially disease-free until "civilization" came to "help them out": https://www.westonaprice.org/

And then you have Mikhaila Peterson's seemingly miraculous healing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fncJdVjy5U

Dr. Shawn Baker's website on the topic: https://meatrx.com/category/success-stories/

Joe Rogan's interview with Baker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj_Bc9hdHa0&t=1553s

And of course you will find lots of ARGUING AGAINST this way of eating: it goes against the mainstream. One is the definition of the other. But arguments are one thing, and results are another. RESULTS are the ultimate proof and arguments possibly just testify to the argumenters' ignorance.

If he likes science, he might enjoy Garry Taubes' "Good Calories, Bad Calories". I know I did. It's not dry science, more a critical overview of what's behind this and that mainstream belief about nutrition. A thoroughly excellent read and one without any bias whatsoever.

Thank you for all of this relevant information. It will take me some time to digest this properly.
