Eric Novack MD: "Can I throw one other totally different scenario at you as well?
"[…] that same person, so let's just say 55, 65 and they're not marathon runners, they're not totally invertebrates, so you know they kind of do their stuff and they're having knee pain. They come into the office. […] You get the X-ray and there are some mild arthritic changes in the knee. […]
"Anecdotally, and I can say personally, going to effectively a no-carb diet, so what people call a carnivore diet, short term, even doing it for two weeks, I have never seen anything be more effective, ever, in my 28 years of orthopedics, of being able to almost eliminate basic musculoskeletal pain, than going to a carnivore diet.
"I am not telling people that they need to only have dairy, eggs, fish and meat for the rest of their lives. I am just saying if you're hurting that badly, the anti-inflammatory effects of going to that are. . . I've just never seen anything like it. It's much better than taking drugs. It is totally life-changing. […]
"If you are hurting, and if you're hurting bad enough to go spend your $50 copay to come see me, what do you have to lose? I know it's hard. I know it takes incredible discipline. I know we have all these things. But I just cannot recommend more, without giving specific medical advice, for people to try it.
"Then the question is why does it work. So we can go to the decentralized reason for why it may work.
"Number one is insulin absolutely can have a pro-inflammatory effect. Particularly since we believe that almost 90% of us are are a little bit metabolically not working great. So we probably have higher levels of insulin circulating anyway. So we can reduce the inflammation significantly.
"Number two is leptin appears to potentially be anti-inflammatory. If we can make leptin work a little bit better, that can work as well. So that's coming up from our fat cells. When we go into ketosis, so beta hydroxybutyrate is one of the ketones that our body starts creating to use for energy. There is an enormous amount of evidence that beta hydroxybutyrate is directly antagonistic to what they call the inflammosome. […] Essentially it's saying that in a systemic fashion, it changes the way proteins in a cascade are being produced to reduce inflammation. That's part of it as well.
"We turn over our joint fluid water probably every day. So all the different things that go between the synovium joint lining and the actual cartilage, they're turning over at different paces. So even within a few days, it's hard for people to believe, but the actual micro environment, or maybe below, of our joints literally can change within a few days.
"And then there's the other side of it, which is, is it possible that if we are reducing our glyphosate intake and other these additive intakes which can impact collagen. Because our collagen actually turns over pretty darn quickly in these systems. Are we actually making a more effective barrier. Is our extracellular water actually better able to handle it, because it's not getting the same kinds of insults.
"No one seen a perfect answer, and I've been asking around to see if somebody can give me the the holy grail for why it seems to work so well. But if you have bone or joint pain, and it's bothering you enough to care to listen to something like this and to go to the doctor, really what do you have to lose?
"If you do it, it works great. Well maybe after 30 days because here's what I found. If people do it they start feeling better. That is the best way to get them to continue it. And you're not a bad person if you have a piece of birthday cake. it's just that, 'Huh. I didn't feel so good.' so you go back to changing it.
"I know it sounds a bit preachy and I hate to be preachy about it, but as I say, I tell this to people multiple times every single day, and I get the blankest stares you could possibly imagine. There is usually like a three- or four-second pause of silence and then, 'Can we do a shot?' or, 'What else can we do?' […]
"And then if you don't move, you need to move. The reality is most people in this day and age, many of them never learned how to move to start with."
