You have no idea how much in the dark you are. Take an afternoon to watch: link link link link link You will wonder how you were blind for so long. Edit, also: ▶ this video
That you need to consume a lot of protein. Excess protein is a silent killer and cause of many diseases. Good place to start going down this rabbit hole: ▶ this video
Keto/carnivore is incredibly dangerous to the human body in the long run (5+ years out). Excess protein (in fact, even in the amounts society recognizes as "normal") is bad for you. ▶ this video
Getting a cold is a great thing. Getting a fever is awesome too. The idea that people need to "treat" these events is ridiculous and only weakens one's body even more in the long run. Our bodies are very capable at healing themselves when not taxed with constant barrage of food intake, in particular acid-forming foods, protein, etc. Expand your knowledge beyond what mainstream medicine tells you.
