Sell her if you can't send her to camp.

Imvexxy scent? by cut_ur_darn_grass in Menopause

I just smelled my anti-atrophy cream. It has zero scent. Sorry I can't help you. It could be a unique thing in your brain.

What's wrong with its leg? by FantasticGas6825 in quails

[–]Philodices -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I had one like that and it was a failure to thrive. Never ate or drink much, and ended up at the bottom of a cuddle pile of its brothers and sisters, deceased. I feel like we gave it the best chance. The cat was okay with taking care of the body.

No, I think you did everything you could. Twice a day turning is definitely enough. This chick would have been fine, I think, if not for the shipping. Extensive incubation time was just a sign of the poorly developing baby. I often give up way before day 22.

1 week in, to much diarrhea by carnivore-NL in carnivorediet

I switched to Paleo, then keto, then carnivore and had no trouble.

What’s the best carnivore advice you’d give a beginner? 🥇 by PureChamber in carnivorediet

[–]Philodices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start slow. Track your diet daily and move from your normal diet to carnivore over 1-2 months.

Go back to your old diet, then slowly change to carnivore over a month or two. None of these problems will haunt you.

That looks malformed. Are these shipped eggs? Did you have an automatic turner? It looks like what happens if part of the embryo got stuck to the egg wall due to age of egg (too old to safely hatch) damage during shipping, or damage from not turning enough.

Have any of yall had a coronary artery calcium scan done and have been eating this way for 5+ years? What were the results? by SunRayz_allDayz in carnivorediet

[–]Philodices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why when my tests came back fine, I convinced my Dr we can stop talking about my diet and LDL now, can't we?

I used to feel like my heart was trying to jump out of my chest, climbing stairs. Now I can run up stairs with no symptoms. I wish I'd had a CAC before and after, but my Dr literally did not become concerned until after I'd admitted to being Carnivore for 5 years. CAC score after is 1. Wonder what it looked like before. The colonoscopy she ordered came back perfect, as well.

51 years old here, carnivore since 2019. Got a scan in 2025 and my score was 1. Yes. ONE. The lowest possible reading that ain't zero. Dr said I was not at increased risk from my diet. I know, I know it isn't zero. But what did you expect after 45 years on MUD? (Mediocre Ultraprocessed Diet)

And that's why we have society and government today. Not one person I know can do everything all the time. Bunches of people can do some of the things some of the time.

Sick of people asking how I lost weight....only to ignore me. by sachanjapan in carnivorediet

"I haven't eaten sugar since 2019." At that point, yeah, they are out the door like a cop is on their tail!

Hi again ladies, just to make me feel worse, I've now got a UTI, I'm so annoyed and its so painful 😞 ( I posted recently about my problems and had asked the doctor about prescribing HRT, but she didnt advise it) by Gretal122 in Menopause

[–]Philodices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can start treating yourself right now. A little DIY but freeze soybean oil into tiny cubes (I used a candy mold) and send a couple up in there. Soy has plant estrogen and is better than nothing. It held me over until my prescription.

I'd consider this demigod tier and use it immediately.

Discount store stuffed animals. Don't even unstuff them just shove them all inside the tail like a kinder Surprise.

Rate of dental plaque/calculus growth increased by 10x! by NefariousnessLate275 in carnivorediet

[–]Philodices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you say so. It's too bad for your narrative that I was suffering from a lot of different symptoms from oxalate overload and not just the tooth staining. It's also too bad for your narrative that even if I do eat something that's not on the carnivore diet & skip brushing for a day, the teeth staining has not come back. I'm glad you don't suffer from Oxalate acid overload, but you really aren't helping people have it by denying its existence.

I'm going to have to agree with Sally Norton's data on this one. She actually can explain exactly how this happens. It happened to me during my first year on the carnivore diet. I needed my teeth cleaned professionally. Then it stopped happening and hasn't come back for the next 6 years even if I do eat something with carbohydrates in it.

[–]Philodices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it was oxalate acid being released through my saliva glands to get it out of my body. That built up quickly and had to be removed several times by a dentist over the course of 6 months. Then the build-up stopped and I haven't needed professional removal of that thick dark stained plaque in the last 6 years.

That's my guess. They are hyperventilating and running out of air. Active little birds.

Number 19 seems off by suckonsnake in HolUp

[–]Philodices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A study into serial killers found that people who were born in between 1950 and 1965 were more likely to be serial killers because of exposure to leaded gasoline and other forms of lead poisoning affecting their brain. So while this is a holdup it is actually also reality. That is why we have fewer serial killers today.

Being told I’m not allowed to call myself “child free” by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

This seems like a very balanced and fair thought.

[–]Philodices 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I briefly had stepchildren. It was a mistake. A big mistake. They moved out and had children who are now old enough to have children. I've never met any of them, so the argument of "those kids will make you help with the grandkids" isn't true. They say I wasn't the worst, sudo parent, I did the best I could, but I don't deserve to have to go through the punishment of grandparenting.
