The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

I did strict carnivore that was kind of the beginning of my own Journey it improved the eczema but long term with that I ran into electrolyte issues in ketosis
I started this carnivore strictly meet in organs and that helped my Eczema but then long term it didn't work for my athletic stuff because of the lack of carbohydrates something I've talked about a lot on other podcasts Etc so adding back in what I thought of at that time is the least toxic carbohydrates fruit and then honey made sense
I did carnivore meat organs animal fat and salt and I was getting palpitations at night I had cramps when I would try to climb in my legs I wake up with cramps I'd have sleep disturbances
So what happened with me? After about a year to a year and a half of a carnivore diet, I began to notice issues, probably in my case arising due to electrolyte insufficiency, connected with consistently very low insulin because I wasn't really eating any carbohydrates. And the protein I was eating probably wasn't as insulin genic as it needed to be. This led to muscle cramps, I had problems with sleep, I had heart palpitations, fluttering of my heart.
I mean, I started a carnivore diet and really changed my perspective on autoimmune disease. My eczema got a lot better and then I ended up with, you know, electrolyte issues and all this kind of stuff.
