Alright, we’re back! We got Dr.
Zsofia Clemens from Paleomedicina in Hungary. They’re doing
groundbreaking stuff over there curing all types of diseases
mainstream medicine believes are incurable. And you know what -
they use zero medications. Their whole thing is removing patient’s
medications one by one. They’ve published a bunch of studies you
can link to from their site.
Dr. Zsofia is a
neurobiologist and clinical
researcher specialized in nutrition, nutritional therapy and brain
research. Previously she’s been affiliated with the National
Institute of Clinical Neuroscience, Budapest and the Neurological
Department, University of Pécs, Hungary and have been involved in
research related to epilepsy and sleep, electroencephalography,
vitamin D and brain MRI.
They take a pretty radical
approach. It makes sense to me though. If I ever had one of these
diseases I’d follow their program as well. Take a listen. Some of
it may be a bit controversial. Let me know what you think on the
old Instagram machine.
I’ll give a quick nod to the
things that make this show possible. First and foremost is
http://NoseToTail.org where you can get sustainably raised grass
finished beef, buffalo, lamb, and high omega 3 pork, and chicken
shipped to your door. This is my company so you’re supporting me by
ordering and a Texas ranch. My favorite thing this week is
definitely the Omega 3 primal pork breakfast sausage. It’s seasoned
so perfectly and you don’t even taste all the great pastured liver,
kidney, heart, and spleen mixed in giving it all the great
nutrition. I posted a stack of these patties I cooked up with some
pastured eggs and cheese online the other day to make people
jealous. I’m telling you it was something special. Maybe it’s all
in my head. Maybe it’s that I know how nutritious it is as I eat
each delicious bite. Who knows.
Last couple things - we have the
Food Lies film on Indiegogo with a bunch of perks. We still need to
fund all the awesome graphics we have planned for the film. This
will be important to get across all the info. It’s a lot, but it’s
so important to spread this message in a way people can understand.
So much of the world doesn't know about this information. If you’re
listening, you probably do know it. But just think how long it took
you to figure it all out. I’m here trying to get every single bit
possible across in 95 minutes. It’s not easy.
You can preorder the film on
Indiegogo or click through from http://FoodLies.org and you can also help the cause by supporting

Kristi has been adding to the
extended show notes for supporters there.
And that’s it. Thanks everyone!
Really appreciate it. Now let’s hear from Dr. Zsofia
Clemens
- Dr.
Zsofia Clemens is a neurobiologist, brain researchers, and head of
the institute run in Hungary called Paleomedicina also known as
ICMNI (International Center for Medical Nutritional
Intervention)
- Their
clinic treats patients with various autoimmune diseases, different
cancers, and neurological disorders
- They
work with the patients and implement their diet which they refer to
as the paleolithic ketogenic diet (PKD)
- They
don’t use any medications in their clinic
- The
clinic was established in 2011 and they have had amazing success
with treating patients
- Crohn’s disease cannot be managed by
medications, and 100% of their patients are cured by the
PKD
- The
diet was originally developed by Csaba Toth
- The
PKD is 100% animal based and includes meat, fat, and
organs
- The
ratio of fat to protein is 2:1 (82% fat and 18% protein) which
differs largely from most carnivore diets which are much higher in
protein and lower in fat
- Red
meat is very important
- In
the US and UK the quality of pork is usually very low and not
recommended
- Intestinal permeability is associated with all
autoimmune disease and cancers
- The
diet works by normalizing the gut permeability
- Zsofia doesn’t believe genetics play a
significant role in disease and that it is all related to
diet
- The
survival rates with chemotherapy are extremely low and patients
lose all quality of life
- Their
clinic has treated various patients with Glioblastoma (GBM), one of
the most aggressive types of cancer, who have become progression
free
- The
standard of care for GBM may go against the effectiveness of the
PKD
- Patients that adhere to the diet correctly
always do well
- The
classical ketogenic diet (CKD) is not enough in most cases for
treating cancer and once they shift to PKD they see
results
- There
are side effects to the CKD: delayed growth in children,
respiratory problems, kidney stones, vitamin and mineral
deficiencies and pneumonia related deaths
- CKD
does not normalize intestinal permeability
- Problems with dairy include iron deficiency,
lactose intolerance, causing leaky gut and inducing intestinal
permeability
- Milk
proteins are associated with diabetes, multiple sclerosis, cancer,
and more
- Milk
only came into the human diet when we started domesticated animals,
it is not part of the hunter gatherer diet
- The
role of the intestinal line and how gut permeability leads to
disease
- When
the gut is permeable, proteins get into circulation and trigger
autoimmunity
- Milk
proteins that get into circulation can attach to pancreatic beta
cells and trigger an immune response that destroys these cells and
can cause type-1 diabetes
- Gluten also triggers autoimmunity but attaches
to joints and cartilage
- The
importance of organ meats to avoid mineral and vitamin
deficiencies
- The
most nutritious organs: liver, heart, brain, kidney
- The
higher the metabolic rate of the organ, the more vitamin C it will
have
- They
can tell if their patients are eating organ meats or not by their
bloodwork
- All
vitamins and minerals that humans need are found in animal
foods
- Taking supplements can interfere with the
effectiveness of the diet
- In
the context of the PKD, nutrient requirements are lower because
there is less interfering with their absorptions and
bioavailability
- Adherence is the number one issue with
patients
- They
have documented cases where they have put type-1 diabetes into
remission and off insulin with a PKD
- Majority of epileptic patients become seizure
free
- Brain
cancer patients also become seizure free
- They
don’t recommend fasting to avoid nutrient
depletion
- The
protein requirements of PKD are low compared to general protein
recommendations because excess protein overloads the systems in the
body that have to get rid of it
- Too
much protein can turn to glucose
- Athletes should increase food intake but keep
the same ratio of fat to protein
- The
claims about needing carbohydrates for functioning thyroid are not
true
- Children do not need carbohydrates during
growth, if you feed a child PKD they may not be as tall but this is
what their normal height should actually be
- Crohn’s, IBS, colitis, and other bowel
conditions are what they have the most success
with
