connective tissue

[The Barbarian]

Since raw meat rebuilds connective tissue I'm wondering if anyone has noticed an increase in their height. Like back to the height of your former years  or maybe you are taller than ever because the discs in your spine are now built up better than ever.

Anyone notice anything like that?

That's me.

I have kyphoscoliosis and my height measurements at the doctor's office went up 1/2 inch when I cut out gluten and dairy. One measurement was 1.5 inches higher, but I think that may have been an error. I'm hoping for a little more straightening on ZC. My back does feel even better and I do feel a bit straighter, and there are other indications that my spine may have straightened further that would be hard to explain without showing someone. I can't figure out how to accurately measure my height on my own, so we'll see what I come out to on my next doctor's visit.

Haven't measured for height, but I have an old back injury since 1980, so that occasionally (like every month or so) I would wrench that part of the back and suffer a few minutes of agony trying to get out of bed, then diminishing pain for a few days if it was a minor wrench. Major wrench took weeks for the pain to disappear.

Since starting raw zero carb last September NO MORE PAIN! It has never happened!

Common versions of paleodiet didn't do that; only raw zero carb.

Hi phil. Got some thoughts on treatment of scoliosis - pm me if you want.

Yes, I have also found raw ZC to be far superior to cooked low carb Paleo for me as well and I add that after my initial improvements from cutting out gluten and dairy and adopting a cooked low carb Paleo diet, I gradually experienced some relapses that did not reverse until I eliminated foods like nightshades, winter squashes and the occasional potato and went near-ZC. Going fully ZC and eating more of my meats raw further improved things for me.
