Thank you for this. Wish I had known these things when I was younger. I think about this and wonder how much suffering I would have avoided and others around me would have avoided. Repentance is the way forward. I am so happy to be an Orthodox Christian. Thanks and glory be to God!

Serious question... Why are so many people thriving on the carnivore diet? Since this young man mentioned red meat. I thought I'd ask.

I'm not a doctor, so take my opinion for what it's worth (to be clear, it's probably not worth much). I think, from my personal experience, that most people that go to carnivore do so from a position of not eating well to begin with. If you're eating a diet of hamburger helper and salads coated in store bought dressings made of soy and corn oil, your cells are going to be starving of nutrition. Lots of people also have great success with turning their health around with the paleo diet also, but that is significantly higher in fruits and vegetables that even a keto diet. Those are just my two cents. Again, it's probably not worth even that much. Christ is in our midst!

Because we are biologically wired to eat only meat, and fat. Anthropologists have tested ancient human remains with isotopes that show we were hyper carnivores before the agricultural revolution. Our stomach ph is that of a vulture (high acidity). Our small intestine is bigger than our large intestine because we absorb nutrients there. Animals that eat plants have four stomachs, and a big colon (large intestine), and large cecum to ferment the food to get the nutrients. We do not have that capacity. Our digestive system is very similar, almost identical to carnivorous animals. Also, our body is the one that is supposed to control glucose production. If we eat sugar/carbohydrates we invariably put toxic levels of sugar in our body’s. Excess sugar in the blood stream gets stored as fat. Also, we end up causing blood sugar dysregulation (the rollacoaster effect). Sugar can be so toxic is causes cell death, which is why diabetics have to end up get amputations. It’s very important we let our body control glucose production because it will make the exact amount it needs when it needs it without harming us (it’s called gluconeogenesis).

As a lil lady who did carnivore for 2 years and now eats animal-based (for me that means [raw] dairy, ruminant meat, organs, seafood, eggs, animal fats, fruit, honey, potatoes, fermented veg, etc.), it’s simply because animal foods are full of bio-available nutrition. They’re also easily digestible and satiating. We be thriving because we’re eating food that gives our bodies what they need to thrive!

It’s because we’re all sick and the environment/food is deliberately poisoned So now people have to go to extremes and eliminate everything from there diet expect the one thing that they can tolerate. No one is “thriving” on a carnivore diet, but only temporarily avoiding there symptoms

We also need to acknowledge the tremendous knowledge about the ether, the fascia, the field of consciousness and modern energy medicine that is now not only proven but practised with extraordinary results around the world. Old systems like traditional chinese medicine is proven extremely accurate for example. The medicine practised today is heavily affected by demonic impulses, like the covid shots. Also, as true christians we need to humbly accept and study the insights on many fields that connects the human body and soul that comes from other traditions and also new pioneering medical and psychological quantum knowledge. We must admit that the Fathers were limited humans in many ways. If we cannot say that, then we have issues to deal with.

As a physicist, I find new agers grabbing onto quantum mechanics to justify their delusion to be mentally aching. As an orthodox Christian, I find it heart aching.

@@selimhajali9007 Agree. It is as pitiful to see so called "newagers" sloppily use such terms, but equally pitiful to see both dogmatic religionists or "newtonians" be totally owned by their own fears and positionalities. We must be honorable and honest enough to both be skeptics and openminded. The very field of subtle energies is absolutely real and whether we acknowledge it or not it is an absolute facts that we draw ether-power (Qi) into our bodies by every single breath. It is equally true that we have tremendously intricate anatomical energy systems in our various bodies. This is for anyone to research and experience. It is neither faith nor belief, but fundamental realities of being human. To deny it without doing the actual esoteric scientifical methodical research is either prideful or ignorant, often both. Truth is highest, it is what sets free. Only dogma and percieved needs to control life would oppose a full human effort to ask for truth in all living aspects of our life on earth and beyond. Christ is here. Forever. He will help us keep the checks and balances.
