  • Sorting out assumptions associations and causality.
    It's tough to comprehend. Oxalates ARE definitely a problem. BUT NOT OXALATES WE CONSUME, OXALATES WE PRODUCE ON A CARB- PROTEIN RICH DIET LOW IN FAT. Harmful oxalates are produced internally not consumed in our food

    After three years of keto I developed a 6 mm kidney stone and then gallstones, analyzed to be from oxalates. I was eating tons and tons of almonds and spinach and other high oxalate foods on keto. My urologist told me that with the advent of almond milk they started seeing more and more kidney stones. BTW, kidney stone pain is on a level that I didn’t even know could exist.

      Yeah, he contradicts himself in this video. He saying it’s not a “thing” and yet, he mentions that oxalates binds to calcium and other nutrients to help it pass through…. Well, that means oxalates are anti-nutrients!! Yes, for the most part, oxalates do bind to nutrients like calcium.. but what he’s missing is, by calcium’s nd other nutrients binding to oxalates, you are also stripped of these nutrients, thereby, making you low on them… contradicting wouldn’t you say?

    Not coffee. Most of the foods heavy with oxalate were not traditionally eaten or were processed somehow ( soaking, fermenting, sprouting). This information, oxalate poisoning, is saving my life!! It takes time for the oxalate to accumulate to dangerous levels. We have forgotten about the toxicity in plants, our ancestors knew and took great pains to process the toxins out of plants. It took decades for my oxalate level to begin harming me. I had a very high level of oxalate in my diet.

      Me too. My experience: . CARNIVORE ONLY.. It's more like when the oxalate disease related issues show up not really if. all of a sudden you will have a disease that will spring from nowhere. We are carnivores, nothing else. I fixed 4 chronic illnesses by going carnivore. All plants are poison, built in poisons plus the pesticides. Think about it, what did humans eat BEFORE the first taste testers of plants. Meat. Plants, all plants have no b vitimins and they block vitimins and minerals. They cause. diseases. The sugars in fruits and veggies crystallize in your body and turn to glass shards and then start cutting you inside depending on where your body places the crystals. If they deposit them in your colon, colitis and chrons. If they deposit them on your brain then Lou Gerigs and Parkingsons. If they deposit on your nerves....neuropathy or multiple sclerosis. BTW, all of that is in her book. I'm reading it. I had 4 chronic illnesses and a bunch of terrible symptoms like , hang nails and brittle nails, sticky tarry bowel movements, dizziness, joint pain, etcc.... all fixed right away. They lie to us about everything. On carnivore out bodies use almost all the nutrient so there are not a lot of bowel movements like it should be. Going once a day like they teach means you are creating so much waste which leads to colon cancer and colon problems. Try the carnivore rx page on Facebook. Many people fix their illnesses on a carnivore diet. Beef has all vitimins and minerals in the correct form and amount. 1 1/2 pounds a day for women, 2 pounds for men. Problem solved. I know you will naturally doubt what I am saying, no need, because I've been there and done that.

There is no kidney stones or kidney disease in oxalate poisoning. You also have to be extremely low in calcium a minerals that bind to oxalates that take it out of the body.
      So you of course will feel great eating these oxalate foods. They are so good for you and should eat them. So for you …..keep up the healthy eating. Unfortunately a few of us do have a problem with them now and that is making everyone panic. It’s ridiculous to hear “everyone watch out oxalates are bad” no the aren’t. I hope to tolerate them after awhile and join you eating those fresh veggies and such again.

      I am oxalate dumping right now. I was on a screwed up diet called pure high oxalate superfoods for decades. Im not dying but it does hurt. Better to learn from Sally Norton or Elliot Overton on this topic.
      Oxalates can throw off your mineral balance, form painful crystals throughout the body (more often in women than men due to estrogen receptors in the kidneys)… this more often creating oxalate kidney stones in men who overload on them.
      I appreciate absorbing new perspective from this guy…
      Don’t appreciate him discounting the experience of those experiencing the painful oxalate dumping process as I am.
      If elimination pathways can not keep up, cations are insufficient etc… and there is dysfunction… then reducing the intake of oxalate is needed.
      Also warning people about super high oxalate foods can help prevent the overload in some people… ie spinach and rhubarb and beet greens and chard and almonds etc over years are not helping.
      A carnivore keto diet with a little oxalate is fine. A little oxalate generated endogenously is normal.
      Living on a high oxalate plant based diet is not normal to our genetics and the dose makes the poison.

    This makes SO much more sense to me, and i have experienced the awful effects! I have had crippling anxiety my entire life. I've had digestive issues and interstitial cystitis most of my life as well. I also developed rheumatoid arthritis and severe lymphatic swelling 5 years ago. I started eating low carb most of the time about 10 years ago with good results with my digestion, but continued to have severe anxiety and panic. So last summer I went full carnivore for 4 months, which meant I eliminated oxalate as well. For the first time, I was panic free. I also saw the largest reduction in the RA that I have so far. Then I started a more Ray Peat approach, keeping oxalate rich foods out but incorporating natural sugar and fruit. My RA is now worse than ever. I am still anxiety free, but I think my leaky gut just couldn't handle all the spinach\chocolate and other oxalate rich foods I used to eat. I am going back to keto and can't wait to be pain free again! Thanks for sharing!!

    Thank you thank you thank you! Amazing words. Spot on! I am trying my hardest to understand all this information and apply to the best of my ability to improve my health. So much info out there. If you're an amateur like me well then a person can get confused and mislead. But all your lectures are inspiring, brutally honest and eye opening. I had also gotten afraid of the oxalate issue.. and surely I don't know what I'm doing. But I persisted in trying to learn more things and make better decisions. Your lectures have helped me immensely. I've turned carnivore now for 7 weeks. It's going very, very well. My energy, focus, mood are all elevated. I'm a 63 yr old female. Two meals a day, I don't need more and I'm never hungry only around meal time. I've lost a lot of weight now, and it continues to drop.. carb/sugar addiction really packed some pounds on me. I'm so grateful that they fall off effortlessly and I don't have to starve myself to death with minimizing diets.
    Anyway, I'm a big fan of yours. Don't ever change! 👌💞 Keep those videos coming!

      Yes, Don’t be afraid of oxalates, if you are eating other things of a healthy diet. It’s only people (like me) who are extremely health compromised and go on a strictly high oxalate only diet like I did. In the future I will be able to have these super healthy foods. Enjoy you healthy diet journey.

    I am not a Dr. nor am I a scientist but I know one thing for sure. I was 430 pounds in 2010 and decided to go low carb. I lost 200 pounds and felt great and consumed almost no veggies. In October of 2016, I wanted to lose a few more pounds and decided I would bring in more veggies, nuts, and 90% dark chocolate. I had never eaten spinach but thought I would try it and see if I liked it. I did, and so I started with cooked spinach and then went on to raw spinach. The longer I went the more spinach I ate every single day. I also ate almonds, 90% dark chocolate every single day. In September of 2018, I was blessed with kidney stones that ended up with me having surgery and my first experience with a catheter. So in 41 years of living, I had not been eating a high oxalate diet from veggies and nuts and had never had a kidney stone. In two years of bringing in "the big salads," I am down and out with kidney stones. The urologist looked at my diet (I keep detailed spreadsheets of everything I eat) and he said this is 100% due to diet. He told me to cut out all the high oxalate foods and stay under 50 oxalates a day. So can I say for sure that it is the fault of oxalates? Again, not being a Dr. nor a Scientist I can only go off of what I read and what happened to me. After dealing with kidney stones I will let the big-armed sailor deal with kidney stones, not me.

    I was introduced to you via Judy Cho interview and just started watching your channel.
    I do believe oxalates & other plant antinutrients are key for me to avoid. I seem to react to everything plant. Yes I overdid the fresh veg juices & green smoothies after my health wrecked by indoor molds & then multiple tick diseases. First it seemed to help then I just kept getting worse.
    Strict elimination diet showed me all the many symptoms I was getting from 99% of plants (not coconut or coffee thankfully).
    I’ve been continuing to eliminate plants and feeling better & better. Now I mostly only take a few coconut products. When I eat other plant foods whether processed, raw, or whole/cooked, I am wrecked for days.
    I do believe oxalate dumping is a thing for me too. Maybe they affect me more than other people since my health has been so damaged & crazy last 10 years.
    I feel best when I stick to good quality fatty meats, butter, and my raw eggs. Cheers.

    I’m sorry, yes, you are a doctor, and like every doctor before you, you discount the pain, cramps, bloating, inflammation, and constipation, among other problems... that “correlates” to me having eaten a high oxalate food. All doctors, at least the ones I have gone to for help, just push pharmaceuticals. There is no medicine that has ever helped me. I would go almost a month sometimes before I would have a bowel movement. Doctors all said eat fiber, which caused my pain and inflammation to go through the roof. I may not be a doctor, but I know my own body and I know the experiences that I have had since limiting my oxalates to near zero. I’m not excessively overweight, nor am i trying to lose a lot of weight, but I lost 7 pounds the very first week. My stomach before this new lifestyle was grossly bloated and felt like a spare tire around my upper stomach. I’m 5’ 8”, was 132 lbs. I’m going to live life my way, on my terms. I find it interesting that you would put yourself on TH-cam to say we know nothing and you know everything.

      They have no trouble with oxalate, "YET!!" No. It's a universal. CARNIVORE ONLY.. It's more like when the oxalate disease related issues show up not really if. all of a sudden you will have a disease that will spring from nowhere. We are carnivores, nothing else. I fixed 4 chronic illnesses by going carnivore. All plants are poison, built in poisons plus the pesticides. Think about it, what did humans eat BEFORE the first taste testers of plants. Meat. Plants, all plants have no b vitimins and they block vitimins and minerals. They cause. diseases. The sugars in fruits and veggies crystallize in your body and turn to glass shards and then start cutting you inside depending on where your body places the crystals. If they deposit them in your colon, colitis and chrons. If they deposit them on your brain then Lou Gerigs and Parkingsons. If they deposit on your nerves....neuropathy or multiple sclerosis. BTW, all of that is in her book. I'm reading it. I had 4 chronic illnesses and a bunch of terrible symptoms like , hang nails and brittle nails, sticky tarry bowel movements, dizziness, joint pain, etcc.... all fixed right away. They lie to us about everything. On carnivore out bodies use almost all the nutrient so there are not a lot of bowel movements like it should be. Going once a day like they teach means you are creating so much waste which leads to colon cancer and colon problems. Try the carnivore rx page on Facebook. Many people fix their illnesses on a carnivore diet. Beef has all vitimins and minerals in the correct form and amount. 1 1/2 pounds a day for women, 2 pounds for men. Problem solved.

      Tell your PCP to upgrade his lipidology knowledge. Why on earth are these clowns still practicing like it was 1970, just pushing people on to drugs WITHOUT assessing their REAL CVD risk instead of a simplistic assessment done on insufficient data
      If you have low triglycerides (from LCHF/Keto) the burden of transporting them can be handled by HDL, thus preserving your native LDL coming from the liver (i.e., LDL particles remain large, fluffy, undamaged so can return safely to the liver via the LDL receptor, pretty much as they are supposed to)
      If the TG level is high, on the other hand, (120) or above, HDL is typically insufficient to cope with transportation of TG so LDL gets recruited for some of the work, stripping them down in size slightly,, bringing them down into the size capable of entering the arterial wall. They then move around, get slightly damaged from the glucose, and other oxidising agents, rendering them foreign to the LDL receptor on the liver, thus leaving them in the blood for far longer, creating a lot of damage to the arterial wall (the liver won't allow them to bind to the LDL receptor after they get oxidised or glycated, so they remain in the blood)
      Your PCP would just do well to watch any video of Professor Ken Sikarus, head of Melbourne Pathology who explains it all very simply in nearly all his TH-cam videos

    Doc, you and Saladino are going to have to square off and settle this, because he has plants as the source of most of the world's woes. I can barely enjoy my salads any more. I get the sense that the only diet I should every consider is cold, raw grass-fed beef liver on a plate.

      At the moment, Dr Saladino is going after polyunsaturated fatty acids as the main culprit for today's issues and he's not so worried about carbs anymore. (At least not if you're metabolically healthy already). Dr. Cywes just posted a video today about veggies. He's giving you a free pass to consume them because "they don't count" when it comes to carbs. A CGM will prove that, too.

      @@IamAlwaysRight100 Yes it can be confusing. I've been studying nutrition & Keto for over one and a half years now. Went from 83kg to 60kg in the first 8 mths and now stable. But it will take several more years to undo the majority of the damage my body has suffered from decades of the long term lethal SAD diet. On the SAD diet after a few decades, EVERYBODY starts having their organs failing.
      The thing is; there's a big difference between just eating a healthy diet, and eating a specific tailored diet with the aim to quickly recover from long term extreme volume carbohydrate consumption - and your own specific bodily damage.
      The first is easier - basically a traditional human diet, healthy locally grown and raised whole foods, and leave out ALL the factory processed and factory created products and so called "foods" (e.g. veg. oils etc).
      The second is much more complicated, as you need to evaluate exactly where your body is, damage wise; and then allow for those specifics with dietary choices. To understand our own health or rather in-health, we need to take on board a whole lot of nutritional education, and that's difficult to do with all the misinformation that's widely preached and taught, and believed by most people!?.
      Both are annoyingly somewhat complicated however, simply because our commonly available western food supplies are swamped with unhealthy and dangerous products that no human should ever consume - all the way to literal poisons freely included. It's a mine field. But walking through it is quite doable, once you get sufficiently educated and experienced. The BIG problem is the SAD diet and all their dangerously unhealthy food products. Get off it as quickly as you can, and you already have 90% of your solution/remedy accomplished.
      So my point and reason for replying is to point out that people confuse the two aims. The second IS mostly required, because most people HAVE been living on the SAD diet for multiple decades already.
      A final point for further complication :), we're NOT all the same, different blood lines have adapted differently to their original local traditional diet (the human body is a VERY smart design). Such adaption "sticks" through about seven generations. So that unfortunately there is no one easy diet definition that will best suit every individual. So the process becomes an exploration, an adventure. It can be very interesting and enjoyable - a personal science experiment where you get to see (and feel) immediate results. Both good and bad! lol. Hope this helps.

"avoid red meat and eggs because they have cholesterol and saturated fat". Yet another says "avoid nuts and vegetables because they have oxalates".

    I am north European - with the exception of seasonal berries and *maybe* some root vegetables here and there, my ancestors ate none of the foods on your list of oxalate containing foods. These days, it's very easy to consume very high levels of oxalate. If my ancestors biologically needed them, they made them endogenously. I think the truth to oxalate poisoning is somewhere in between - most people have poor guy health, overall poor health, eat unnaturally high levels of oxalate and don't fast.

It's more like when the oxalate disease related issues show up not really if. all of a sudden you will have a disease that will spring from nowhere. We are carnivores, nothing else. I fixed 4 chronic illnesses by going carnivore. All plants are poison, built in poisons plus the pesticides. Think about it, what did humans eat BEFORE the first taste testers of plants. Meat. Plants, all plants have no b vitimins and they block vitimins and minerals. They cause. diseases. The sugars in fruits and veggies crystallize in your body and turn to glass shards and then start cutting you inside depending on where your body places the crystals. If they deposit them in your colon, colitis and chrons. If they deposit them on your brain then Lou Gerigs and Parkingsons. If they deposit on your nerves....neuropathy or multiple sclerosis. BTW, all of that is in her book. I'm reading it. I had 4 chronic illnesses and a bunch of terrible symptoms like , hang nails and brittle nails, sticky tarry bowel movements, dizziness, joint pain, etcc.... all fixed right away. They lie to us about everything. On carnivore out bodies use almost all the nutrient so there are not a lot of bowel movements like it should be. Going once a day like they teach means you are creating so much waste which leads to colon cancer and colon problems. Try the carnivore rx page on Facebook. Many people fix their illnesses on a carnivore diet. Beef has all vitimins and minerals in the correct form and amount. 1 1/2 pounds a day for women, 2 pounds for men. Problem solved. I know you will naturally doubt what I am saying, no need, because I've been there and done that.

With ruminant animals, they have four stomachs to ferment and detoxify food, with non-ruminant animals, like chicken and pork, you end up eating what they eat, which is a lot of omega6/linoleic acid.

    I tell you I was starving and looked malnourished I developed bone density issues, I ached, all because all of these doctors nd experts re saying that food is bad, all my family he lived to be 95-102 years old and my mom always said eat every but balance and in moderation and normal quantities.
    All of them enjoyed working, eating, having a little wine, eating fresh food. how is this wrong?
    I am half way with your video but I know what you are saying. i am so disappointed at all these people because all of them as it turns out sell their products or advertise for some company so now I’m going back to my roots and I will eat foods that I grew up with and enjoy.
