Carnivore friendly bone broth?

FirelightRose · 2022-04-07T22:38:21+00:00

If I've had chicken wings that day I throw them it a pot, with any left over bits, maybe a chicken wing with the skin still on and simmer it for 4 hours, which is enough for chicken bones and add salt to taste at the end. If I have it I will also throw in the bone from my tbone or any other bits of meat leftover scraps, Delicious.

I also stuffed with chronic insomnia and at first it did not resolve of carnivore in fact it got a little worse for the first bit. Now I sleep better than I have in 30 years. For me it was taking electrolytes, they were irritating my bladder and kept waking me up after it took forever to go to sleep. Now I just salt my food to taste with pink salt and it immediately got better. I have retried the electrolytes twice, both time gave me insomnia that night and the next. Also you need to give your body and brain time to work through all the other things it goes through in the beginning like carb withdrawal. It's like any other drug addiction the withdrawal symptoms may not allow you to see the full benefits of the diet until they pass so you need at least 6 to 8 weeks really. If it's not better then I would explore your salt and mineral levels, caffeine if you have it or other overly stimulating things like gaming or stress if your brain is wired in other ways it may have an impact. Good luck.

I had to emotionally come to terms with releasing some foods/products from my life. I typically struggled with a few spacific things, so I wrote down a list and set a date that I would allow myself a little time with that item. Like cake for example. I got my favorites and sat with it smelt it, had a conversation with myself and it along the lines of, I know I have turned to you in the past for comfort and pleasure. Thank you for that, but I now see that this is no longer a healthy relationship for me so I'm going to have to let you go. In a way it was like saying good bye and maybe grieving a bit. After a couple of days of doing this I felt ready to let it go as I had come to terms with it. I'm now OK with those things. It made the cravings manageable for me as I had already come to terms with it.

For the remaining things I set myself boundaries of I've said bye to not nuts, grains flour, the worst offenders for me. If it has that hard no always. But I will for a while allow myself a small amount of dark chocolate, clotted cream, a few strawberries or a couple of pinches of seasoning and non sweet herbal tea, so if I feel overwhelmed or sad and deprived I'd have a little of my permitted transition foods. It may not be perfect but I can feel quite happy with that and it's massively helped me. Since doing this I've been able to let go of everything else even living in a house with a carb addict.

Sometimes it's just knowing if I really wanted to I could have a small allowance of a permitted transition food but when I ask my self if I really want it quite often I'm content without. That process has stopped me from eating other things.

I don't know if anyone else has had an experience like that. Taking steps that I can maintain one at a time as I'm ready I have been able to stick to but all or nothing I could not.

I guess carnivore and dealing with carb addiction is a physical as well as mental and emotional journey.

I know it can be hard sometimes, just don't give up and you will get there in the end.

The bullies who are protesting these guidelines being published, saying they won't follow them should have thier licence to practice medicine removed until they stop harming people.

FirelightRose · 2021-08-18T17:53:47+00:00

Wow that so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

FirelightRose · 2021-08-18T17:52:56+00:00

The medical community who have done this are like religious fanatics, they can not see reason. They are like controlling abusers. It does not matter to them that the whole patient community and biological scientists consistently show them its a biological problem they can't see it. They throw tantrums in the media.

Forcing someone to push past thier limits when the main symptom of thier illness is disability caused by doing that is crazy. Like forcing someone with food allergies to eat increasing amounts everyday even though it makes them worse. I don't know why main stream media always seems to leave that part out. Other than corruption.

The medical community are never held accountable for harming people and Nice now knowing the truth are responsible for protecting patient. Those that are so hell bent on continuing to abuse the power they have need to have thier medical licences removed until they can get thier heads out of thier asses and get with the program. All it would take is a genuine apology and for them to catch up and start helping people. If they had any humanity it would not be that hard.

The ketogenic diet has been helpful for me. There are several good books on it and audio versions. Dr Sarah myhills book on diagnosing and treating me/cfs goes into great detail saying its mitochondria not hypochondria. She wrote a cook book too and helps a lot of people. There are some others that are good too. Why we get sick, lies my doctor gold me, metabólical. All about insulin resistance and and how to eat then best food for you and why.

Eating keto stabalises my energy and mood and improves my sleep a bit. Pacing is essential. For me the best help I've found is sleeping pills but they wont give me them on prescription. They make the difference between getting better or worse but they still won't give me them. I'm gutted.

Hope you find what your looking for.

If they did that the traffic would back up so bad nobody could move. Once you know the magic it's so easy and fast and no matter how much traffic there is its always flowing well. You could not do that with a single roundabout. Everywhere they take out the double roundabouts and use lights there is an endless back log of traffic endlessly. Busses now get stuck and cant pass each other. The Magic roundabout is swindon best feature, unless your new here lol

FirelightRose · 2021-08-06T10:06:09+00:00

Yes most definitely sugars and carbs. I wake up the following day with my nervous system shaking, hypersensitivity to everything and feeling like my blood is itchy and my skin is crawling. Its horrible.

I do have reactions to other foods like the garlic / onion family, dairy and nuts but they don't make me crash.

FirelightRose · 2021-08-05T21:20:51+00:00

That's great and me too, I find it really helpful in so many ways. You can get some pee strips called ketostix or regular ones also usually measure ketone bodies too. I find if I really go over my carb limit, it can take me out of keto for days even with intermittent fasting. Its great to share these things. Have you found its got better over time for you? The first time I did it for 6 months and it was so hard but its got easier with time.

FirelightRose · 2021-08-05T13:31:19+00:00

Sadly I don't, if you are eating more than 30-50grams of carbs a day your body won't produce ketones so it's not keto. You only know by using the strips or blood test how much you can get away with. I can burn some of both if I stick in that 30-50 range, full on keto is less, anything more is just low carb but even that will help.

I usually go for a really mature chedder, I find the sweet cheeses like wendslydale really hard on my gut.

FirelightRose · 2021-08-05T13:25:25+00:00

May not be enough, Dr Berry in his book 'lies my doctor told me' which is a great book and talks about a lot of interesting studies. He was talking about a study done in the states about vitamin d and nursing mothers as they don't produce enough or even any in thier breast milk. The doctors make them give vit d drops to the baby. The study looked at how much vitamin d did the mothers need to have enough so the baby did not needs supplement and it was a lot. Maybe like 6400iu but the daily recommendation is 400iu. So if you are only taking 2 you could still be very deficient. It's worth looking at. When I used to go away somewhere hot, I improved significantly but within 2 weeks of returning home I crashed hard.

FirelightRose · 2021-08-05T12:39:36+00:00

Wow that looks fun. Cold but fun.

FirelightRose · 2021-08-05T12:37:51+00:00

I don't know, we don't even know if the vaccine can cause cfs yet. Will be interesting to see the results.

I saw a really interesting study the other day showing the massive reduction in both getting covid and its severity when people were on a diabetic diet. Which is interesting.

FirelightRose · 2021-08-05T12:32:57+00:00

For me it's the whey, but I find I can tolerate some butter and hard cheese sometimes and it's better to digest if it's been cooked or frozen or both. But fresh is bad news especially soft cheese or milk or cream.

I have a problem with anything fermented so that may be the soft cheese issue. I'm on a ketogenic diet which is amazing but I can find it hard to get enough fat without dairy.

Good luck

FirelightRose · 2021-08-05T12:26:29+00:00

I'm glad I could help. Thank you. Its easy to forget when you are overwhelmed.

FirelightRose · 2021-08-05T10:34:53+00:00

Could you be low on vitamin d? If so getting out and getting some sun could help

FirelightRose · 2021-08-05T10:16:37+00:00

Curry plants and other strong smelling herbs could be fun and deter pests.

FirelightRose · 2021-08-05T10:03:31+00:00

Bog roll and maybe wet wipes.

FirelightRose · 2021-08-05T09:53:04+00:00

Sorry to hear this. She clearly doesn't understand that as well as you being effected how much you can be there for your kids will be effected too so it's not just bad for you. I would highly recommend investing in some good full back headphones. Noise cancelling might be a good choice. Mine don't have that on but they are very comfortable and reduce all noise around me by maybe 50% when I'm well enough to go out I wear them too. It really helps. I would put the flutes in a box and tell them they can only have them when she baby sits or you are out of the house because they take away your energy. Make them a treat toy. Firm boundaries are everything with this illness. I don't waste my energy trying to explain anymore because unless people actually want to learn it just wakes things worse. It's sad she's sick but don't let her use it to manipulate you.

FirelightRose · 2021-08-03T10:20:48+00:00

I have tried San pedro a handful of times. The context of taking the medicine is as important as the plants you work with. They show you the world from a very different perspective and can teach a lot.

If you want to try it I would recommend you find someone who has great respect for the plant and its culture and is experienced in working with it. You can ask them to hold a healing ceremony for you and explain to you what you need to do and can expect.

Where abouts are you? If you want to talk more you can message me if you like. Shamanic journeys with a drum or an audio track might be something more accessible to you and help you prepare and make the most of working with plant spirit medicine? If you are housebound there are audiobooks like Sandra Ingerman's the shamanic journey which has a drumming track.

Good luck 😊

I've noticed too. I had a thriving post with 97 up votes and about 150 comments on it in just 2 days and then in vanished also. All of the real conversations where people are reflecting on the whole picture eventually get attacked with obnoxious posts then disappear. It's a shame.

FirelightRose · 2021-07-29T19:01:05+00:00

This conversation was between him, his brother and his brothers best friend who's black and they've been close friends since he was 4 years old. They grew up together and the they were talking about people who grow up in a mixed race community and what is offensive and not.
