I'm sorry that your dad's health has gotten worse on carnivore. If you care to give any specifics, I'd be interested, and perhaps could offer some advice. I've been carnivore for more than 10 months, and would never go back, it's been a huge positive in many different areas of my health.
I've had a few oddball things happen as I've been on carnivore, which appear to be coming from oxalate dumping, which is a whole different topic. A close family member had some weird symptoms after switching overnight to 100% carnivore, turned out that was oxalate dumping as well, and some adjustments to add a little bit of oxalates resolved the issues.
He doesn't really share the details of either his diet or his health with me. I would be surprised if he was doing it correctly and he also has plenty of preexisting health issues, so I'm not even attributing the changes to the diet.
I was familiar with "keto flu" from my in-laws experience with going keto, so I was expecting the initial illness he had. Now he's several months in and has clearly gained weight, as well as showing some new odd cognitive symptoms (almost pre-dementia type symptoms).
