Dr. Anthony Chaffee reveals how carnivore diet success stories expose medical system failures, responding to a listener who eliminated migraines after six months on carnivore. Despite having 100 years of scientific literature proving ketogenic diets effectively treat migraines, epilepsy, and diabetes, these treatments have been systematically buried by pharmaceutical interests and poor medical training.
The episode demonstrates how modern doctors have become "high-priced salesmen" pushing drugs instead of addressing root causes, with only 10% of medical practice actually treating underlying issues. Dr. Anthony Chaffee shares compelling examples from his neurosurgery experience, showing how easily patients accept ketogenic interventions when properly informed, and reveals that ketogenic diets are 50 times more effective than medications for Alzheimer's treatment - knowledge hidden from medical professionals during training.
Key Takeaways
- Carnivore diet eliminates migraines within 2-6 months based on 100 years of documented evidence showing ketogenic diets effectively treat neurological conditions including migraines and epilepsy
- Ketogenic dietary interventions demonstrate 50 times greater efficacy than pharmaceutical medications for treating Alzheimer's disease, yet this information is systematically excluded from medical education
- Search PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Reviews for "ketogenic diabetes," "ketogenic migraines," and "ketogenic epilepsy" to access decades of suppressed research proving dietary effectiveness
- Medical professionals can successfully implement ketogenic protocols with patients using simple, direct conversations about eliminating carbohydrates and sugar, contrary to claims that dietary changes are "too difficult"
- Migraines and Carnivore Diet Success Story
- Ketogenic Diet Research for Epilepsy and Migraines
- Medical Establishment as Drug Sales Industry
- Hidden Studies and Medical Education Problems

[Music] been having migrain since high school once or twice a week been on Carnivore for six months haven't had a migraine about two months now thank you that's awesome you know great job you know it's funny you know we have so much data and so much um so much literature on things like migraines or epilepsy or diabetes or whatever fill-in blank and they've just been papered over you know by the pharmaceutical industry and um and you know whole vegan propaganda nonsense migraines we have a hundred years of data in literature on migraines being treated with therapeutic carbohydrate restriction AKA a ketogenic diet like a carnivore diet a carnivore diet is a ketogenic diet it's a more strict version of a ketogenic diet where you're getting rid of everything that's toxic not just carbohydrates um and uh yeah and they found significant Improvement for people with migraine and and epilepsy I mean the only treatment for epilepsy was a ketogenic diet for decades until we came up with Pharmaceuticals and then it just said ah yeah you just hit the too hard button on it's like hey you look you have epilepsy you need to stop eating carbs really easy when your doctor tells you that you do it they did that for decades and decades and decades now like oh it's just so hard to get people off carbohydrates have you tried because I I find it's easy as hell um especially when someone has has epilepsy and it's just like wait hold on this can stop my seizures yeah screw that never eating bread again um and you talk to especially like parents of kids you know I mean I it's it's the easiest conversation you'll ever have in medicine is when you're when you're telling some somebody about something that can save their kid um they just like yeah let's do that um I was in uh I was I was on call at um you know for nurse surgery in um in the children's hospital here in Perth and uh it was 2 am got called in there's this this little girl having some weird episodes and he didn't really know what was going on they didn't they they sort of had these little episodes and they didn't didn't know what it was they thought you know maybe it could be some sort of you know something going on in the brain maybe there's like a new tumor or some growth or an infection or this or that or was it know seizure activity they didn't they didn't really know because they it was sort of subtle and they weren't really necessarily catching it as as they happened they just sort of saw the aftermath um so we were getting her an MRI at like 2 in the morning and um and then all of a sudden she started having one of these episodes and I saw her and I was able to tell that she was having a seizure and so like okay yeah that makes sense you know and things started lining up and um and so I was talking to the mom who was sort of you know resuscitated her you know kid was fine um and she's there sort of you know recovering and and relaxing I was talking to the mom and he just said hey you know we have a hundred years of of data in literature you know showing that um ketogenic di show getting rid of carbohydrates and sugar and going on a ketogenic diet that actually really helps with epilepsy especially in in children and she just said oh oh really yeah no that's that's easy yeah we we'll do that that was it I mean you're telling me as a doctor that that's too hard that conversation that that that one sentence and you know you know to the patient and one sentence I go oh yeah yeah sounds good yeah we'll do that U that's too hard I I just don't buy it that's complete that's just lazy it's lazy lazy lazy medicine um you know and and which is funny to think about because doctors are stupid busy uh but that's lazy you know it's it's lazy to to not do um the right thing because it's easier to just assign someone a pill we we've turned into um salesman you know was a Dr P there's a pain specialist he uses carnivore on himself and on with his patients uh in his pain clinic and he finds massive improvements from this um still does you know interventions as needed but the large portion of this diet lifestyle using ketogenic carnivore sort of approaches which is great and you know he's an anesthesiologist over in St Louis and with a with a uh specialty in in pain um chronic pain and management for like 22 years he's been doing this and he was saying this and he's very I I you know I I agree with him on this you know doctors have have been turned into or yeah you know are at this point high price salesmen you know we're just we're just there to we're we're just drug reps you know we learn about all these drugs and then we just sell them and push them so oh you have that problem here's this here's this issue it's like any sort of salesman hey you have this thing I got I've got what cures what ails you you know I've got the the Ronco food dehydrator you need this and here's why you know you're just pushing a product you know you're not actually treating diseases we're not curing in diseases you know some surgery sure you know you can actually have Curative um treatments it's like 10% it's like 10% of what we do as doctors is actually addressing the underlying issue you fall down you break your arm put that in cast we do an open reduction internal fixation sure you know you're fixing a problem that's great that is that is the minority of what we do now as doctors in in our in the medical establishment as it is and so we're just pushing these drugs and so you know we're trained that way no one's trained that um and taught in medical school that I that I know of that there's hundred years of of uh evidence that ketogenic diets work for epilepsy and diabetes and migraines why is that you know well there's no money behind it there's no there's no product line U behind keto I mean they're keto products and you can buy meat but like that's it there's no industry there's no lipor to say hey we have a budget for lipor and we want to get drug reps out there pushing lipor you know um that's that's not the case in um in diet and lifestyle management so you know it's just not going to have the backing and so you're not going to get spoonfed these studies but they're there um you just have to look for them and then people will say that oh there there's no evidence there's no there's no studies but have you looked hey guys just want to take a second to thank our sponsor at carnivore bar I don't promote many products because honestly all you need to be healthy is to just eat meat for those times that you're out hiking road tripping or stuck at work and you want nutritious snack that is just meat fat and salt if you want it the carnivore bar is a great option so I like this product not because it's just pure meat but also because I want the carnivore Market to thrive as well and the more we support meat only products the more meat only products there will be available in the main stre Stream So if this sounds like something you'd like to get behind check it out using my discount code Anthony to get 10% off which also applies to subscription is giving you 25% off total all right thanks guys you know you don't know of them that doesn't mean they don't exist you know they assume that if it if anything like that actually was a thing they would they would be have been taught to them in medical school or residency and because it wasn't taught to them it doesn't exist well that's pretty lazy thinking too have you checked no well then shut your mouth like you don't you have no idea you have no idea then so how can you say that you can't say that so if you don't know don't say that you know don't say there are no study okay that means that you've looked and you haven't found any well you know ABS absence of evidence is not evidence of absence or or absence sorry absence of evidence is not evidence of absence right so just because you don't know of anything doesn't mean that it doesn't exist it just means that you haven't come across it so look you go in the literature go on go on PubMed go on you Google Scholar go on Cochran review and look up ketogenic diabetes ketogenic migraines ketogenic epilepsy you will find tons of studies going back a hundred years and current studies showing the benefits of these things Alzheimer's 50 times more effective to use a ketogenic a high fat meat-based ketogenic diet for Alzheimer's than the best medications ever put on the market Market 50 times more efficacy just by diet dietary interventions why does anybody know that you know why is it that no geriatrician is taught that in residency right so or neurologist or whatever no one's taught that stuff you know you have to find that yourself and um because it's not going to be spoonfed to you but it's there studies are there we just um you know have to go back because it's been papered over by by unscrupulous um entity and we have to go back to relearn what we've already known for hundreds of years you know you talk about this oh the wisdom of the Ancients I'm starting to like be in that camp of like yeah they actually did know uh a lot of what's going on we know other things now but you know what we forgot a lot and U and we need to get back to that because um we're we're screwing up you know we are really messing up and we're messing up the health of uh everybody of ourselves and our children and our parents and um you know we we got to cut that cut that crap out what your body does I mean my asthma like massively improved I still have asthma you know but it's like it's exercise induced and sort of you bit of a tightening but it's not like it was it's not close to what it was um when I was eating vegetables filthy filthy vegetables but you know allergies to these sorts of things I mean that's that can be sort of a different you know different kettle of fish
