🔴 Get Rid Of OXALATES Using Diet Only!

I love how you are editing and posting shorter videos focused on one topic. I'm trying to share your knowledge with others and I think the longer videos may make some people not want to watch. I know you work tirelessly to spread this important information and I appreciate you so much for doing it!

Anthony I didn’t know oxylate dumping was real - while i was detoxing the first few weeks in Carni I had bad joint pains and then for a couple months I had oxylates oozing out of my eyes. This is real, now my joints aren’t storing oxylates and crystals, feels like my arthritis, autoimmune, menopause has disappeared. Yahoo! ❤

I was using water fasting as the only way I knew how to manage my joint pain. On one occasion after coming off a 36 hour fast, I was feeling great, doing yoga with little pain, thought oh I’ll make a nice healthy green smoothie and the join pain came back immediately even stronger than before. That’s when I realised ohh it’s not the meat causing my joint pain but rather it’s the greens. Googled carnivore and started and have been felt great since.

This was about five years ago. I was really trying hard to watch my diet, not eat sugar, candies, or cakes, and only eat healthy food, including low-fat things like spinach. We all know that spinach is really healthy, right of course, I am saying this facetiously now, but here's what happened, I bought a big tub of spinach at Whole Foods, and I ate a little bit, but then it got to that point where it's starting to wilt and not be that fresh type of spinach that we want to eat. So I sautéed up the whole rest of the tub in a skillet, added a little cream and butter, and ate the whole tub of spinach, sautéd down into a relatively small amount, so I can remember sitting in front of the television said, eating this, and with the cream and butter on it tasted pretty good, that night I had the worst gout attack of my life, and when I say it was a bad gout attack that is very much underestimated gout is never good, but you can live with it if you can get in bed prop your foot up, maybe put an ice pack on it, and it will minimize the pain pretty good as long as you don't move. This was nothing like that. It didn't matter what I did. It didn't matter how many pain pills I took; nothing helped. It was the most miserable 24 hours of my 75 years on this planet. After 24 hours, if I laid really still took my pain meds, it lessened enough that I finally could fall asleep, but it lasted for about another 2 to 3 weeks, getting slowly better. Needless to say, I don't even walk by it in the grocery store anymore, and I have learned a lot since then. Thanks to Dr. Chaffey and other doctors like Dr. Barry. Even if you just can't give it up and have to eat a little bit of it, it is never sautéed because you've had to use a large amount to have the amount of anything once it is sautéed; spinach is bad. sautéed spinach is 100 times worse, anyway, if I can save even one person from going through what I went through that night with this information I am very glad that I wrote this.

Oxalates can end up anywhere in the body and present with different symptoms. i.e. oxalates binding with calcium can end up in joints causing arthritis symptoms. Sulfur can help pull oxalates out of tissues and sulfur supplements like MSM, and Epsom salt baths or foot soaks can help. B6 in the form of 5-P-5 pyridoxine helps to drive oxalates out of tissue. Building a good gut microbiome can prevent oxalates from reabsorbing into the body. Potassium, magnesium, and calcium in the citrate form help in softening and binding with oxalates. Drinking 4 oz of lemon juice daily can prevent kidney stones. Sally K Norton and Elliot Overton on the YT channel EONutrition have detailed information on oxalates and how to help with the dumping syndrome.

As of today I am down 100 lbs! Thanks for your knowledge and inspiration Dr. Chaffee!!

What's not to love, too... he's smart, humble, kind, a good listener, and handsome. That combo is just soooo rare! AND...he taught us how to go all Anthony on beef in our frig!

i quit cigarette and alchol because carnivore diet lower my body stress from high carb junk so i dont need alcohol to release my stress

The more the years go by the more this dude looks like a Greek sculpture

Thanks for bringing this extremely important topic up and for mentioning Sally K Norton and her book Toxic superfoods.💕🎉 I'm about 2 years into low oxalate eating and I have barely scratched the surface...😅I've eaten plantbased diets for decades!🤪 As a child I had lots of ear infections and was given several rounds of antibiotics. I now know that it gave me leaky gut and I started to store oxalates even on a "regular" omnivorous diet. But then a vegetarian and vegan diet for 2 decades, plus eating high plant even on omnivorous ways of eating, just made me sicker and sicker. I couldn't understand it! I'm a Nutritional Therapist and I just got sicker and sicker the "healthier" I ate!!!! And then I tried carnivore and got very dangerous symptoms which puzzled me even more... 🤪 I actually went back to a plantbased diet after 9 months of carnivore and for a while that felt better...until it didn't ofc.😅 Now in retrospect I understand that I felt initially better again bcs it temporarily halted the oxalate dumping I got on carnivore bcs I added back lots of plants and that gave my body a signal to stop dumping and start storing! But that bucket will absolutely start to spill over if you continue to ingest lots of oxalates ofc.... Sadly I went to the highest oxalate diet I ever been on, following Medical Medium diet and protocols. (That tells you a little something about how effing sick and desperate I was....😢) I drank cerlery juice, spinach smoothies and ate sweet potatoes, potatoes and so on, so forth. I ate several THOUSANDS of mg of oxalates a day! I thought I couldn't get any sicker but oh boy....I was absolutely poisoned and thought I was going to die.😢 That's when I found Sally K Norton and binge watched tons of interviews with her. I did cut out the oxalate rich foods too quickly though and it was horrible and very dangerous. I actually went back on carnivore for 6 months against better judgment. I can't stress enough how absolutely dangerous it can get if you go from an extremely high oxalate diet (plus having decades of stored oxalated in the body) directly to a strict carnivore diet. The carnivore diet isn't at fault here ofc, it's just that the oxalic acid/oxalates are as dangerous on their way out as they where in. And it can take many years to clear it out with a history like mine and Sally's. Sally is 10 years in and is still having bouts of clearing or dumping. (Clearing is a milder, more manageable version of dumping.) I've had to add back both some plants and some carbs bcs my body just can't fat adapt and it seems like I can't produce sufficient amounts of endogenous glucose via gluconeogenesis bcs I get dangerously low blood sugar which induces an extreme rush of stresshormones and months and months of severe insomnia as a result. Plus also very dangerous electrolyte disturbances with arythmias almost 24/7. This probably is bcs of all the damage done by decades of plantbased eating and bcs I'm still constantly handling clearing/dumping plus I have thyroid antibodies. I hope to be able to try carnivore again soon but I'm scared bcs it got so insanely bad last times I've tried. (I've done it for 15 months in total so it's not for lack of trying, that's for dang sure.😅) By now I've been to over 40 of Sally K Norton's classes btw. It's a game changer!!🌞 Minerals like calcium, magnesium and potassium are VERY important to eat/take when one has an oxalate issue. Otherwise it WILL steal minerals from your blood, bones and tissues. Yes, calcium can trigger more release but it's worse to not have calcium in your diet when you are having lots of stored oxalates in your body. I would never even think of trying fully carnivore again without calcium and other minerals. Btw, I even push tiny oxalate crystals out through my scalp and skin. Look like little diamonds. Too bad it isn't bcs I would be really rich if that was the case...!.💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎😂

Dr.Chaffee, wanted to let you know this was my first day on carnivore. You’ve inspired me to try it out. I’ve always been under the impression that plants are the way, however I’ve been fairly into Keto for a year. Now, it’s time to fully heal and grow (I’m 20). I’m Norwegian btw. Hopefully I can inspire others, but first I want to check the diet for myself. I fully believe the science, but the logic made it for me. I’ll let you know how it effects me. Love your message dude, keep it up❤️

I had never heard of an oxalate before I came to the carnivore world. Been on carnivore for 30 days, down 20 lbs, physically up and down. Some days I’m full of energy and the next day I feel like my limbs are made of lead and it’s a chore to walk around. Struggle to eat beef every day, I am eating pork and eggs, drinking lots of water, still drink black coffee, no plans at this time to quit, but I didn’t plan to stop smoking 30 years ago either and one day I just stopped, so maybe.

13 month carnivore and I feel great. two months in and broke out in hives I think from dumping. It lasted a couple of days. So happy to be eating proper and saving dollars.

Man, I love the clarity of your speech and your mental "composure"!

I went on a ketogenic diet in 2019. I lost 32 pounds and I have maintained that weight within a 2 pound marker since then. However, I noticed that I started getting very stiff and that my knees hurt and the joints in my fingers hurt and felt swollen & stiff. I could not understand why this was happening because I felt I was eating better than I had in my entire life. I was talking to the woman in my health food store and she asked me what I was eating. I was eating a lot of spinach! I grew to like it very much, but she told me that because of the compounds in the plants that I may have been overdoing it. She admitted humbly to not knowing a lot about it, but suggested I scale back on the spinach. I saw a podcast on Dr. Josh Axe’s channel and he was talking about oxalates, and which vegetables were high & which fruits were high. I made a list of those foods and I scaled back on my produce purchases. After a few weeks, I definitely lost the swelling in my knees and my hands and overall I can tell the difference. I do have a small salad every two days or so, just because I think there are some nutritional benefits in it. I do eat a few berries every morning, which I love and I didn’t want to give them up and I’m grateful that I didn’t have to. But the more I learn about this the more it makes complete sense. I am mainly carnivore and eat a lot of meat. These compounds are real and you need to monitor how much of them you consume.

Perfectly said Dr. Chaffee! I feel all produce in grocery stores should have a regulation that requires stores to put warning labels out listing each produce’s natural toxins (and amount) and anti nutrients! That including Oxalates! And explain health risks so humans are aware!

Thank you, Dr. Chaffee! 7 months in, originally began with no clue, but as I continued, I learned so much from your video content. Presently feeling great at age 64. I am still having histamine issues and was diagnosed with Hemi Facial Spasms. This WOE has turned my life around, and I hope that my health will continue to improve, and I will reverse all the damage that has been caused by years of traditional ways of eating foods that were harmful to me. Thank you, Dr. Chaffee!!

Chaffee is the man!

What they also dont say, is yes over the years this builds up, oh yeah thats when i get older. What many dont realise is "older" is only late 30's to 40's. Many think, oh yeah older like when im 80. NO, you well start getting issues, possibly irreversible issues starting late 30's early 40's. Later in life isnt as late as most are thinking.
