Without commenting on the veracity of your claims (which I don't really believe, and because they aren't sourced, it would require a ton of effort), your writing style is very compelling.
GP's comment reads as a cheesy infomercial sales pitch, full of confidently stated BS.
It's not just ruminant, but ruminant meat eating appropriate food. Grass fed beef versus grain fed is fascinating. Furthermore, how we raise ruminants is important for the ecosystem. When I tried carnivore diet, I can attest that the benefits are real but so is the hungering addiction from processed foods. I'm currently detaching myself from sugar which is... hard.
I can't wait for properly controlled studies on this subject. There is great anecdotal evidence https://benjamindavidsteele.wordpress.com/2020/01/10/multipl... which warrants proper studies.
Yes, grass fed is necessary because of the omega 3 to 6 ratio. This is even more important if you are targeting autoimmune. And don’t sleep on the organs, I have found that those are important to immune-tangential things as well.
Another note: you don’t get dehydrated because of ketosis and glycolysis. You get dehydrated because you stop making insulin, insulin tells your body to hold on to water. The only other thing that does that is sodium. Not potassium, sodium. On this diet you are replacing insulin with sodium. Make sure to have very high fat and at least 5 grams of sodium chloride per day.
My hunch is that you could push that analogy further with something more hyperbolic - the gut is fascinating.
This is fair, but you have to admit the same statement applies to evangelical vegans.
I (and many others) agree with your recommendation on sodium.
"We looked for _any_ way to spin the nutrition argument in favor of grass-fed meat, but the actual data are fairly easy to verify. If we whitewashed this for a more palatable narrative, the obvious flaw in that position might cast doubt on everything else we are suggesting.
We realize that this is a remarkably unpopular position. But, [...], an ethical clinician would never tell a patient that they should eat only organic vegetables or no vegetables at all. We have the same position on meat. For those who simply don’t have access to grass-fed beef, we still feel red meat in general is an important, nutrient-dense food for humans."
And I made reference to Meatrx which is indeed a source. It contains hundreds of video testimonies that will provide any discerning viewer with enough evidence to motivate a proper interventional study. This topic is blacklisted in academia and there aren’t any good studies on it.
And if you investigate the mechanistic underpinnings of all of this yourself, crack open a biochemistry book, you will see very clearly that something is going on. We need proper interventional studies.
