Why the Carnivore Diet Helps Mold & CIRS Patients Stabilise - and Where Homeopathy Fits

Unless one is unfortunate enough to suffer from alpha-gal syndrome, most mold-toxic patients feel dramatically better almost as soon as they begin the carnivore diet (or its stricter cousin, the lion diet). Their gut stops reacting so violently, their brain fog lifts, their kidney and liver symptoms ease tremendously. Their nervous system finally catches a break and food stops feeling like a threat.

This is not a coincidence. It is a biological response - and, for many of us, a huge turning point!

I speak about this with deep gratitude because the carnivore diet quite literally saved me when I was at my sickest with mold toxicity. I was still living in mold at the time, and I had reached a point where nearly every food triggered symptoms. I showed symptoms of Inhalation Alzheimer's, my sleep was interrupted, I was constantly dizzy, fearful for my life, and my body (especially my poor right kidney) was overwhelmed by the smallest stimuli. Homeopathy kept my symptoms at bay - whenever things got really bad, I took a remedy, and my symptoms eased, so I could go to work and get through the day. But this was a very acute, on-the-spot way of prescribing. I had to remove some triggers to be able to achieve deeper healing through more thought-out prescriptions. Carnivore gave me this gift. It removed my triggers just enough to give me enough room to be able to work on my underlying issues.

The carnivore diet can be a life-preserving intervention for mold patients - not because it detoxifies the body, but because it stabilises it. It removes the irritants, the plant chemicals, the fibres, the histamines, the mould-containing foods and the digestive burdens that an already overwhelmed system cannot cope with. For many people, this diet is the first moment they feel relatively safe in their body again. But stabilisation is not the same as detoxification. For most people, deeper healing still requires some form of detoxification.

The body can feel better without actually clearing toxins. This distinction is important, and it is often overlooked. Mold toxins are excreted through bile. The liver packages toxins into bile acids, which are released into the small intestine. In an ideal world, the bile binds to fibre or a binder so it can be carried out of the body. But on the carnivore or lion diet, where there is almost no fibre available, bile is reabsorbed - and when bile is reabsorbed, so are the toxins inside it. This is why so many people on carnivore feel ''better but not healed''. They feel calmer, clearer and less reactive - but they do not feel like the deeper layers are shifting. Their symptoms plateau. They still have their chemical sensitivities, their environmental sensitivities, and the moment they get bored or deficient and try implementing different foods again, all their other symptoms return too.

This does not diminish the power of carnivore. It simply confirms its role: carnivore is not a solution; it is a tool. It creates the conditions in which healing becomes possible. And when used as the foundation of a homeopathy-led, naturopathically supported approach, it becomes an enormously helpful tool.

Homeopathy works beautifully with carnivore because homeopathy acts on the terrain that diet alone cannot reach. Mold illness is not just biochemical, it is also neurological, emotional, psychological and energetic. It disrupts the limbic system, triggers fear responses, fractures identity, disturbs sleep, alters cognitive patterns and destabilises the autonomic nervous system. Carnivore can quiet these symptoms, but homeopathy can help heal the underlying patterns so they do not have to flare back up again and again.
