Everything I downvoted was because I genuinely do not think it’s good. Like meat is not going to cure cancer.
I actually really like eating meat I just try to life a life that gives others room to enjoy this earth too without mutually destroying it.
Please tell me how I am the asshole :)
If you profoundly disagree with any community views, I suggest you block and move on. Going there and downvoting everything is a dick move.
In this case, it’s not a profound disagreement with the community’s purpose (carnivore diet). I find the concept interesting.
But if I see some horrendous thing from that community (Youtuber saying eating meat cures cancer) in my All feed and downvote it, then apparently I’m being a dick and deserve to be banned immediately?
That video was one ladies personal testimonial and she didn’t just do carnivore, she also incorporated prolonged fasts intermixed with carnivore refeeding. Her single experience was that her inoperable tumor went into remission. That isn’t the same thing as “carnivore cures cancer.”
The interesting cancer research going on with glioblastomas is with a ketogenic protocol (not specifically carnivore) - a press (keto), and pulse (glucose and glutamine suppression) protocol - which has demonstrated some promising early data. Taking advantage of the warburg effect (i.e. cancer only metabolizes glucose and glutamine).
Now going back to the testimonial lady, she didn’t following a observed protocol, she wasn’t using a press/pulse protocol. She just kinda stumbled around and for some reason her inoperable tumor went away. It’s interesting, but hardly anything to hang your hat on. However, the value of the underlying testimonial is still there - if nothing else is working for your specific situation you can try carnivore - it couldn’t hurt.
No but if your ONLY interference with this community (or any community) is to downvote, you have no interest being there.
Actively combatting harmful medical misinformation is not a “dick move”, they deserve every downvote and worse
Then combat it with links?
