As a vegan I got an X-ray and the doctor said he could see my arteries in the image - calcium oxalate. I had major kidney issues and many other symptoms. The oxalate story is real. Many vegans will never know because they will never stop the accumulation of them.
I started carnivore 2 yrs ago without ever hearing the term oxalates. I had unknowingly been eating a high oxalate diet for 22 years. Oxalate dumping hit me by surprise 6 weeks in. And it still comes and goes, although nit nearly as intense now. Sally Norton helped me a lot to understand what was going on.
@@OttawaRealEstateAgentMy first symptom, 4 days into carnivore, was excruciatingly painful diarrhea and urination. It felt like shards of glass going through my gut and passing out. I was on fire, or so it felt. Horrible cramping. I added a couple of pieces of fruit a day to slow it down. I felt better, so after 2 1/2 months I gave up one piece of fruit, then the other, a couple of weeks later. A week later my arthritis flared. It hurt 10 times worse than normal. My “good left knee,” suddenly became a lot worse than my “bad” right knee. I couldn’t go upstairs and could hardly walk. I’m now trying to figure out what to do. Now I know why eating a mostly vegan diet made me feel worse, as I had tried to eat “healthy” for years. Little did I know, I was hurting myself!
"so if you think you're dying, and you need to have your elbow cut off, that could be a sign that you're clearing oxalates!' 😂😂😂. I adore Sally's sense of humor! Great interview guys! As someone who has had the honor of interviewing Sally myself it's always a delight to see others folks interview her to help her spread the word and also see what those interviewers are able to coax out of her vast stores of knowledge! I This topic is highly personal to me. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis at 38 years old which is just wrong as a man. In 2012 at 48 years old a slow speed crash on my mountain bike turned into quadripelegia. Some of my cervical vertebras crumbled. I unfortunately am a sad story of what a high oxalate diet can do. If you're new to this information please take it seriously I ruined my life thinking I was eating "healthy."😢😢😢
Thank you for a great interview with Ms. Norton. I have listened to most if not all of her interviews since the release of her latest book, and I learn something new with each interview. Cheers, Coaches :-)
This interview is so good that I am listening for the third time currently (I usually have in ear while working). I am actually sitting watching the video now. You are swiftly becoming my favourite channel
wow this is the best lesson! i had gout attack when I was in carnivore diet and I did not know it was part of the oxalates dump! I stopped the lion diet 2 months ago and started it again yesterday. It is good to know that I can use lemon juice to slow down the oxalate dump. Thank you so much for this great content and subscribed to your channel!
I am 76 years old, having no medications. But I eat fish & chicken, & some plant based food ,no dairy. I still won’t get rid of plant food. For me eating in moderation is important. You know what you feel after you eat. Just submit for periodic blood test. You can eliminate foods that make you sick. I don’t take suppliment medication. Plant foods are still important for the body.
Thank you for the comment. Blood tests are inaccurate to tell you about either food allergies or intolerance. I myself have been told that I don't tolerate beef (I thrive on it) and I'm not allergic to cats or cod (hospitalised twice due to allergy reactions) Plants offer nothing. But I appreciate your taking time to communicate
Definitely feel despondent and despairing! This is dreadful. The body weakness and fatigue is just as bad plus muscle issues. Im guessing this is oxalate dumping!! Its been constant for the past 4 weeks! 😪
Did I hear this right that vitamin c will increase oxalates in the body? Or adding a Vit C supplement will increase oxalates? I enjoy 6 ounces of OJ about 3 mornings a week. Is this a concern for excess oxalates?
I’ve been vegetarian and vegan for most of my life and tried keto for a while, which i love, but meat is out of the question for me, sadly; I have always had a good sense of what is and isn’t healthy for me (like refined carbs such as white bread but also milk, not all dairy per se, lower in lactose like cheese and yogurt seem fine) especially in large quantaties (spinach, cashews, kiwis, chocolate), so i typically organically seek out the lesser oxalated greens and herbs like broccoli, banana, cumin, cinnamon.. Would you say it is possible to maintain a vegan or vegetarian - preferably low carb - diet that is also low oxalate? Meaning I feel that I don’t need a very high caloric intake anyway; So I wonder if that would theoretically and hopefully practically be possible..
Dont want to tell you what to do and respect your stance but I strongly believe you need to very seriously consider eating meat. Is it for ethical reasons ? There is nothing wrong with eating animals
Tough one to answer via comments. Have you considered fish and fowl as a way forward. Salmon, mackerel, sea-bass, oysters, scallops, turkey, duck, goose etc? I think it's good to be intuitive though. Carnivore is not all about red meat. That's just one way to do it.
She mentioned sipping on beetroot juice when you are having having an oxalate dumping episode to slow down the dumping. That is because you need to consume some oxalates to tell the body to slow down (basically telling the body it's not winter yet). But in general beetroot and beet greens are extremely high in oxalates
I have no words to describe how helpful this video is to me.. I remember years ago I called a health clinic , concerned of my cloudy urine and the feeling of being unwell. I thought it was a pelvic floor issue and I was told to go to my Doctor after the new year and get bloodwork. My fingers joints swell up constantly and my knees and elbow joints ache and cause me to loose sleep. It is just wonderful to know what I need to do to help myself now… finally 🥲🙌🏼 Thank you Sally Norton!
I just became carnivore and stop every single plant food. I am disappointed when you said that my body makes oxalate. What the heck is that? Why should I go through this whole ordeal if my body make oxalate? I really don't believe this Didn't you just said animal meet don't have oxalate. Please don't confuse people

@robalexanderhealth7763 Thanks for sharing, I hope things improve for you.
@@CoachStephen thanks this was years ago
After switching to seasonal carnivore with intermittent fasting there is no sign of arterial calcification
Robalex--good to hear you were able to reverse the damage. I hope I'm doing the same.
I was strict vegan for 15 years and went for ultrasound, just part of a routine test and the nurse mentioned I had gallstones.
Great insight. I wonder if essential oil affects oxalate levels?

Hopefully you'll be clear of them soon. Thanks for the comment
So how do they hit? People say oxalate dumping, but what are symptoms?
Watch Sally Norton s videos. It can present in many ways. For me it was joint and bone pain in my legs.

@@CoachStephenThat response seemed as though you hadn’t even read his very personal & unfortunate story/comment. Rather callous.

Thanks for the comment and subbing. I'm doing a video with a guy who had gout for 30 years and cured it with carnivore. Will be out this month
@@CoachStephen I cannot wait for that video. Can you please make it quick? lol
Well done guys, this was a truly fantastic interview, wish it had gone on for longer.
We wish so too but Sally only had 45 minutes to give us.
Good interview as always :) very interesting stuff. Thank you ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!

@deborahpharaoh4505 Sorry to hear that.
??? So if calcium binds to oxalates, when taking D3 and K2, do we mess that binding? Or is that helping, taking K2?
What is the cloudy liquid they're both drinking?
@sir.fuentes7642 Richard's Keto-Pro electrolyte drink (mine is in reverse osmosis water)
Isn't citrate made from black mold?
Yes i read that grown on mould .
Is it ok to eat Tumeric spice ½ tsp or not ???
Did I hear this right that vitamin c will increase oxalates in the body? Or adding a Vit C supplement will increase oxalates? I enjoy 6 ounces of OJ about 3 mornings a week. Is this a concern for excess oxalates?
Vitamin C does degrade to oxalate

@@asdf1991asdfsome of us don’t believe in eating animals for numerous reasons
@@jennyroth6583 good for you
Cumin and cinnamon are high oxalate.
I’m confused. If I have animal bone broth that has collagen, that’s oxalates?
Is beetroot ok ?
For what?
@@CoachStephen No oxalates?
Nope, very high!

Sally is awesome. Thanks for the comment
I just became carnivore and stop every single plant food.
I am disappointed when you said that my body makes oxalate.
What the heck is that?
Why should I go through this whole ordeal if my body make oxalate?
I really don't believe this
Didn't you just said animal meet don't have oxalate.
Please don't confuse people
Look in the mirror & stop blaming others your inability to use your brain.
