How many (percentage) got kidney failure and/or cancer?

Carbohydrates and PUFA cause insulin resistance (and diabetes) down to the mitochondria level. The destruction of cells can result in cancerous cell storm mostly due to weakened immune system. Cancer cells can only survive on glucose. Normal cells survice on glucose and fat. The body makes all the sugar it needs from fat/protein...Obviously! Just like all carnivores!

Do you disagree that carbohydrates and PUFA oils (proven to damage blood vessels - and every cell in your body) cause macular degeneration?

I have been on a low carb diet (Thanks Dr Atkins and Drs Eades) for 30 years. I have been on a near-zero carb diet for the last 1.5 years...I even managed to quit coffee, which I still miss. My eyesite is now just starting to get a little fuzzy and I have been staring into computer monitors all my adult life. No kidney/cardiac failure or cancer yet.
You stated that you are on a low carb diet. If you are consuming fruits and vegetables (which are carbs) you are nourishing your body with essential vitamins and minerals. An all meat diet depletes your body of these nutrients. Eventually, a person on a true carnivore diet will have health issues.

History provides us with information on depletion diets. Mariners died from scurvy due to lack of vitamin c. They began to carry limes on their excursions and the disease on their ships disappeared. Scurvy still exists today. People who do not eat fruit and vegetables are affected. There you go! One example of MILLIONS DYING due to not eating carbs. Yet, the doctor on this video is promoting avoiding citrus? A proven food that saved millions of lives? I rolled my eyes and turned the video off at this point. Quack!

Most of us have heard of osteoporosis and osteomalacia. We make certain we eat foods containing calcium to avoid this disease. Meat does not contain calcium. Do you think you can live without strong bones? Iodine was added to salt to eliminate goiters. Vitamin D was added to milk to prevent rickets. There are hundreds of PROVEN diseases caused by depletion diets.
Recently, I have witnessed friends and family members SUFFERING with excruciating pain (and I mean suffering) due to brainwashed, depletion diets.

As I stated, I am not in the medical profession. However, it is easy for me to understand a lack of vitamins and minerals, and a diet high in fat will eventually cause health issues. As golfing eagles would say, PERIOD!

I, as a lay person, can provide a few examples of what happens to those on depletion diets. Think what a physian of 30 years has seen! Why argue with GE? Take in his knowledge and LEARN. IMO, any doctor who promotes depletion diets is a quack. (history proves this) I applaud GE for calling it like it is. PERIOD!!!!!

BTW: Atkins had a history of heart disease. He couldn't keep himself healthy let alone others. Thanks, but I'll pass on his advice. Just another quack doctor more interested in earning millions instead of saving lives.
