While vegetables are very useful for their ability to detoxify the body we also require animal fat for a healthy metabolism. Animal fat is used by the body to heal. I have many toxicity symptoms from a reaction to PMMA bone cement and anaphylaxis is one of the symptoms. If I eat vegetables regularly the anaphylaxis gets worse and so do all the other immune symptoms. I have to keep my vitamin c levels low in an attempt to suppress my immune system. If I only eat red meat and animal fat all the symptoms disappear and thousands around the world with autoimmune disorders find the same. Unfortunately I can’t keep it up. I would love to eat vegetables but I have to avoid doing anything that speeds up my bodies detoxification system and avoid as much inflammatory causing things as possible. What I’m saying is different strokes for different folks
What if you can't digest most fruits or veggies? Vegan diets are not Gastro friendly on my end of the medical spectrum. Soy is not allowed. Many people have GI/HYPOTHROID diseases. I HAVE THEM BOTH. I don't want another Diverticulitis attack. Nor another vision disrupting Flagyl event. I'm the main driver, and can't afford not to see well. I think most food in moderation is the way to go unless you have health conditions that cause you to avoid a group of food. Better yet how about the FDA ENFORCE THE LAW ON TOXIC HEAVY METALS IN OUR FOOD? The pathic food in produce can't be too healthy., it's not even good enough to can. Why do I taste the metal in tinned canned fruits and veggies, but not when they are in glass jars?
Blood work perfect. Teeth perfect. Eyes perfect. I am 65. The only difference I noticed was my brute strength is less. Or maybe I thought I was stronger than I really was. Lol
It wont kill anyone to mostly give up meat and cheese. Trust me about feeling better. It is entirely true for me. I did not gain weight.
Next goal is a 3 day fast. Then a 7 day fast by the end of summer.
Love life, love your partner. Be good and it is easy to follow Jesus.
Great interview! I’ve been very interested in diet and lifestyle for over a decade. There are so many conflicting theories by very intelligent people that I’ve decided that it’s not easy to come to a conclusion with certainty about what the very best diet is. However, there are a few things that almost everyone agrees on. Mainly, cut processed food out! (Processed grains, sugar, seed oils, meat etc)
I’ve decided that I believe that animal food really is valuable in the diet but it should be raised in a way that it optimizes the nutrition and that all organ meats should be included when possible. We try to eat very high in vegetables and other plant foods and I use traditional methods to prepare many foods (fermenting and soaking for instance). We have enjoyed many health benefits from making these and other changes. Thanks for such a great interview!! It was very interesting.
I'm vegetarian since 1972, (50 + years) while living, working, gardening & orcharding among 45,000 Russian Doukhobor vegetarians as neighbours in the West Kootenays of British Columbia. I helped develop the BC Fed-up Natural Food Co-op network in our region (1972-80). I helped operate the Quebec La-Balance network in Quebec (1981-95). I became Vegan after the birth of our daughter in 1988 (35 years). https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/design/responsable-health I can help individuals, families & communities with Vegan Cultural 'indigenous' (Latin 'self-generating') 'participatory' livelihood collaboration approaches, based in free-choice-celebration of living. I collaborate with 1st Nations & indigenous people for 59 of my 70 years now. I'm active in union health & safety & management Pollution-control for 50 years now. I helped establish the BC & Quebec Uranium Moratoriums as well as the Quebec Cosmetic ban on Pesticides among a range of municipal, provincial & federal health legislation improvements. DO-WE-KNOW-WHO-WE-ARE-? https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/structure/9-do-we-know-who-we-are I am more concerned with indigenous cultural personal & community collaboration for everyone, where we live & work. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/design/1-how-to-grow-your-own-raw-vegan-food-garden
You are what you eat. That counts for us but also the animals we eat. If the animal eats junk then the animal becomes junk and whoever eats the animal becomes junk too.
For example, here is a study comparing conventional vs free range eggs. The difference in quality is HUGE, much more than I thought.
That also reflects the quality of it's meat. I remember eating free range guinea fowl some past christmas and it tasted awesome. But when I later bought one in a supermarket it had a huge amount of yellow lard and what should have been meat was squishy tastles goo. I bet it could not even stand on its legs when alive. Yuck.
If only cancer was that simple. Many things seem to play a part. Those with cancer can certainly try diet, etc. It doesn't always work but at least you know you tried.

My wife and I went WFPB for about 2 years.
