Great video about a complicated subject!

[davidwayne]

I have never seen anyone compile as much supporting data in the description area as you have. Kudus to you! I wish everyone did this. I bet there are good reasons they don't.

[HomesteadingForHealth]

You are absolutely saying what I have been thinking about the carnivore diet and why it’s helping people! But also, a must must is to get out of mold and make sure your body has detoxed from it and eradicated it. I love boron and iodine high dose.

[lucasdaniel]

Thank you Judy for everything you do. You gave us (me, my wife and my son) our life back! We tried every diet possible, including strict carnivore. We just improved but not all the way... Until we worked with you. You figured out at our first session it was CIRS before any blood work or VCS test.
Now we feel better, after 7 months of Shoemaker Protocol. I am able to sleep at last!
THANK YOU JUDY!

[robinhempel-ixjn]

Never stop learning. Never stop researching. Most doctors have no clue about CIRS. The body doesn’t lie, bloodwork doesn’t lie! So thankful to know Judy Cho (Nutrition With Judy) Had it not been for her I never would have tested for CIRS. The healing journey truly begins now and I couldn’t be more excited! ❤️

[fertilehomestead]

I am in tears over this video. Your one video from a couple weeks ago of the gal whom had it and nothing was working! I'm there. I have been on carnivore for two years and I have not lost weight and still feeling bla, I was better for a long time and then started going backwards and quickly gaining weight. Found out that it is because of mold I'm our house, all of us are experiencing symptoms and we are in the process of removing the toxins, first, carpets, then wallpaper (who does that here in the South where it is extremely humid in this area and many air pollutants rest in the delta area just south of Memphis, TN. After we get our taxes back we are getting an IQ air purifier that catches things up to .003 microns (funny how we used that before and I lost weight, just expensive).
I need to stop researching as you said and focus on fixing what I can and trusting and praying to God for his protective hands in this whole journey to healing.
Thank-you for all your work and sharing with everyone!

Long Covid is causing my bucket to overflow, for 4 plus yeRs. Carnivore definitely helps, but it isn't enough, finally hearing something that makes sense to my condition

[corrie]

Thank you so much for fighting for my (all our) health! If I had not found you in 2020 I’m not sure where I would be! carnivore+your gut protocol+CIRS treatment = my health back! ❤

[cammos]

Judy, THANK YOU for being such a spokesperson for the CIRS community. We need people like you to help spread the word about CIRS. You are the reason I found out about CIRS and am now on my 3rd month of treatment on the Shoemaker protocol. I have been sick for over 20 years. Carnivore didn’t move the needle for me and caused me to dig deeper. Thank you, truly!! 💕

[peacenquiet]

I have post Lyme and exposure to water damage building and mold, and so many symptoms of CIRS

[EarthsAnswers]

I’m so glad I found your channel! I’ve had this for over 30 years!

[QualifiedClean]

The last three homes I've lived in have been mouldy and it's going to get worse with energy bills in the UK, particularly when you consider that many of our old houses were made to be near permanently heated by the old fires and agas. You're looking particularly radiant in this video, Judy.

[jasonself]

Thank you Judy. I've been suffering for 3 years now with various strange ailments. Been doing strict Carnivore for 7 months now with minor relief. I saw your video with Dr. Dorninger a few months ago and it made sense. I reached out to them for help. I just got my positive diagnoses of CIRS just last week from his office. Hard path I'm going to be entering now BUT, at least I know what I'm fighting now! Thank you so much for your help and you didn't even know it.

[FoxBodyFitness]

I never even heard about this until you shared the info. I started out interested in carnivore back in 2016 from a bodybuilding/aesthetic angle, but over the years since then, I noticed I endured bad joint pain, brain fog, depression. You and Laura are my go to resources for carnivore. 🙌

[opedromagico]

You make things so easy to understand! And give hope.. Thanks, Judy. I've been following keto-carnivore for 18 months, read your book 2 times, got my health from a F to a C- 🙌🏻 at least I'm not suicidal anymore. Still, I have 11/13 cluster and failed the VCS. Other 6 family members do present up to 95% similar symptoms. I've been using psychedelic therapy (PT) for emotional support and getting clues as to what is happening inside me and where I should go. PT is what told me “90% of your depression is in your gut.” and eventually led me to carnivore. They told me “there is poison in the air and inside you” so, when your video with Dr Dorninger came it all made sense. Still, PT told me what I have is “simple to solve” and the answer is “water”.. Well, we know there is nothing simple about the Shoemaker protocol and the answer is not water so.. I'm still dreaming, researching and testing, for a simple and accessible solution for CIRS. Who knows I might find it, right? I tried CSM but so many side effects, I want to try Welchol or a clean CSM.. But I'm still saving up money for that. Thanks for reading 🙏🏻 keep up the awesome work, excited for your next Carnivore Cure book! -- insta @opedromagico

[NicoleWellness]

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I am SO happy to see someone like you bringing light to this and calling out the “carnivore harder” and Ray Peat people!!! I always felt like something just wasn’t right and I had severe mold illness and CIRS!! I started the Shoemaker protocol a month ago 🙌🏼

[kathybirkett]

Wow! I think I might have CIRS. I have been on the carnivore diet for 2 years and, although I do still see minor improvement, it seems my gut isn't healing like I think it should. I will definitely look into this. Thanks!

[tdfulton]

Thank You Judy. Thank you so much!
I have been listening for a few months now. I am scared to take the vision test, for fear I will actually go down this road...
You have such a unique view of nutrition, (such a shame really to everyone else), and I am so grateful and this view is what I have been looking for. The. Root. Cause. Brilliant.
With the brain fog, from many yrs of fighting whatever I have been fighting, this road is not one I want to go down! It is so overwhelming, And I'm pretty sure thats why you're doing this vid...because the people you help, need this
I am only 10 min into the vid, I am so grateful.
So, Ill start vid again. Again, feels like you're reading by life of the last 25
Blessings from TX.
Binge-watcher Danielle:)

Hi Judy! This video is terrifying to me, since I have almost every symptom. I will look into getting the visual test done. If we work with you on treatment how do we get scripts? Do you work with our PCP? NYS is a PITA for getting anything done, our hands are even tied as individuals trying to get blood testing done without a doctor. Thank you for everything you do and being the kind and compassionate human being you are. We need more people in the world like you!

[leahmarchand]

Thank you, Judy! I had major toxic exposure to mold and didn’t know it until I was diagnosed with cancer the second time. I’ve seen a lot of improvement but recently has another exposure to mold and haven’t been feeling well. Thank you for your commitment to those who follow you!
