He suffered from an anal fistula and other colon problems like that. His doctor told him it was essentially an incurable disease, where the solution isn't really a solution as much as just swapping the problem you have for another problem that is slightly more tolerable to live with, albeit still a nightmare: you have multiple surgeries and lose your bowel function and have to wear an ostomy for the rest of your life. All of this is super expensive, too.

He thought he might as well do a carnivore diet during the weeks leading up to the surgery and all his symptoms cleared up completely. His doctor had him do an MRI that confirmed he was totally normal.

Then he received a call from his doctor's receptionist cancelling their appointment because he didn't need surgery anymore; and telling him that from now on he should just check with his GP.

Any doctor that has dedicated his life to doing the best he can for patients with this condition would be very intrigued with someone who managed to cure himself through a simple diet. He would be looking into that protocol and testing it on his patients. My conclusion is that his lack of curiosity is due to him already knowing very well that the carnivore diet heals this supposedly incurable disease, and that he doesn't want to heal his patients but rather just to exploit them.

This guy says something very much along those lines, namely that he realized at that moment that he and other patients are nothing more than cash cows for these people (doctors).

This is the reality we live in. If you want to save yourself from going through a similar experience you must eat a carnivore diet.

Bellow I wrote the transcript of this part of the interview, about 15 minutes in, where he describes how the autoimmunity that runs in his family manifested itself in his case:

Pete: For me it seems to have manifested in gut issues, which I've only really become aware of in the last year when I've looked at help from a doctor for that. (…) I do suffer from gut inflammation that leads to further side effects (…) the growth of abcesses and boils down in that area; which themselves lead to further complications that led to a pretty severe case of anal fistula.

I'm not sure if your viewers are aware of that condition, you can look it up on Google but it's a terrible condition where the body forms its own tracks to the bowel. So basically these internal tracks form around the bowel opening and they're incurable by all medical accounts. Surgery is the only answer. (…)

I got very tired of having to suffer with the pain and the flareups involved in this condition (…) I'll say that was also part of the motivation to try carnivore, because of the healing experience that I heard other people go through. (…)

The flareups got bad enough for me to see a surgeon this year who diagnosed me with pretty much the most serious condition that this can be, a complex transin teral fistula, where the track actually crosses the bowel. So there's a very slim chance of this surgery even being successful and there's a high probability of losing bowel function and (…) wearing an ostomy for the rest of my life and that was motivation enough to go 'I need to do something here' (…)

So I had this terrible diagnosis, he even said to me 'I'm sending you off for an MRI here, I normally don't send my patients off for MRIs but yours is so severe that we're going to have to get an MRI" which I dutifully did and it wasn't cheap. I got the MRI, waited a month with a lot of anxiety during that month, thinking of the worst, imagining the field surgeries. I had an appointment due with him and I got a call from his receptionist saying 'The doctor doesn't want to see you, everything is normal, just go ahead and see your GP for management from now on'.

And I almost dropped the phone, because (…) it was great news but it's like 'Hang on, I have a serious medical condition here, how can you build me up like that and then f it off in a phone call from your receptionist?

It really hit me hard. I was shocked.

Dave: That seems like a very kind of blasé way of - I mean, it's great news, but a very kind of 'Okay, go away now' kind of attitude, right?

Pete: It was shocking. This condition, anyone else that may have experienced it knows that there are usually multiple surgeries required to fix the situation. It's hard to heal in an area like the bowel for obvious reasons. It's just not a sterile place, it doesn't heal very well. I don't want to get too pessimistic or skeptical here but people with this condition are basically money printing machines to these surgeons because they know that it's going to take multiple hits under the knife to get it fixed and each surgery is upwards of 8.000 dollars. His main concern was my private health situation. He was still mid examination and he was bringing up private health status. You're a walking dollar sign to these people.
