To these influencers' credit, they seem to be promoting eating freshly prepared meat.

And that is probably less risky when it comes to cancer.

Yeah, I want to start with people who say this diet has healed their guts.

Because some people who decide to do this diet are doing it because they're in really bad shape, like in terms of their GI stuff.

I talked about this with Adrian Sotomota.

He is a doctor and a researcher at Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico City.

He sees a lot of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

That is a group of conditions that includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

And it's just, it's just awful.

People's guts are inflamed in these conditions or they get ulcers on their intestinal walls and it can cause a lot of pain, cramping, bloating, diarrhea.

Adrienne's heard about people who get diarrhea 12 times a day, often with blood in it.

And sometimes people get anemic and they need blood transfusions.

I know.

And while there are medicines for it, they don't always work for everybody.

Adrian says IBD is stubbornly persistent.

But then Adrian started hearing about people going on the carnivore diet for their IBD.

So he and a colleague started collecting stories from these people, and they ended up with 10 case reports from people whose IBD had been stubbornly persistent.

And?

Besides life-changing, another patient called it a miracle.

Well, one explanation that I heard again and again online about why this diet might be so good for you is basically because plants are toxic.
