Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 Hey, I am new to the list too. I'm 17, and became vegan almost 5 months ago. (march.12) Feel free to ask any questions Kristina, I have done quite a lot of research in the past 5 months, and have had some interesting experiences with other people.... How has it been for you so far? Switching over I mean. Did you go straight from eating meat to being vegan? I know a lot of people go to vegetarian first then slowly become vegan. I went pretty much straight from meat to vegan. What was the main reason you decided to switch? For me it was learning about all the chemicals and hormones, etc that are put into the animals. Thats what got me into researching anyway. (I used to be completely anti vegetarian.. :/ what a fool i was) Then I learned about the treatment of the animals, and the effects on the environment, etc etc. I first became vegetarian, then researched more and decided to go vegan the next day. I have a question for the whole list.. How busy is this list? What kind of stuff usually goes on here? just curious -margaret ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello, I'm new here. I just recently became vegan, so I'm still kind of switching over. My name is Kristina and I'm 16 years old. I just wanted to introduce myself and such. -Kris __________ woof! woof!

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 I could not quite understand your e-mail but if you are still eating meat and have kidney cancer you are putting a lot of stress on you kidneys. Animal protien is not a clean burning fuel that leaves a nitrogen waste in the blood that is filtered by the kidneys which is very hard on the kidneys .

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 Dave, your number one priority is cleaning up the body. Don't worry about meat in the future, giving it up, or what you believe about it. Your first order of business is getting your body free of the junk it's been accumulating. The raw food diet/lifestyle is primarily a cleansing one, at least that's my opinion. That will get your body back in balance with the ability to heal itself. If you do the raw food diet, you'll notice good effects almost right away. So, don't worry about giving up meat forever, cooked food forever, just concentrate on cleansing. A bowl of fruits and nuts and seeds in the morning; a huge salad for lunch; and a mix of either of those things for dinner - should put you on the right path. Don't forget juicing and sprouting! As far as juicing goes, we've found a good mix is carrot and romaine lettuce and celery. It is CRITICAL that you dilute the juice. It's usually too concentrated for the stomach. So, a half glass of juice and a half glass of water should be fine. After a month, we dropped the celery. We also do wheatgrass juice, but lots of folks have a problem growing it. If you can grow wheatgrass, it's an excellent " medicine " . Best of luck. Think " cleansing " ! Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This group is about raw food, and likely what you'll encounter here is people telling you how bad meat is for you. I would suggest reading Arnold Ehret's " Mucusless Diet Healing System " if you want to know more about how people on this list look at disease and healing (you should be able to find it on any raw food site). And please keep in mind that medical doctors get less than a week of nutritional training in medical school, so they may not be the best people to listen to on the subject. I'm hoping you find something that works for you, and if you decide to give raw food a try, there are plenty of people here to guide you. Wishing you health, Bridgitte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Dave, I'd like to just make an observation. If " traditional " nutrition and " traditional " medicine got you where you are, why are you holding on to it with such loyalty? My husband, an academically trained nutritionist, held on to tradition with determination until I went vegan. He gradually followed - obviously, since I was doing the cooking. Then I went raw/live. And again he followed. He has wholeheartedly and without regret embraced a meat-free life, eats only organically grown, and has experienced wonderful results. Let go of the " knowledge " that got you where you are. Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 [RH] Hi Dave, Maybe you should read the book Eat to Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman with an open mind. Come back to the board after you read that book. You'll see in every case that meat is detrimental to your overall health. This is supported by over 3,500 studies. The more you know about nutrition the more you'll realize that eating meat leads to ill health for humans. Roger also not one of my probs are caused by meat. course evry one that is a pure vegi thinks tey know nutartion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Roger, you said: " To say that would mean you would only do the raw diet as a cleanse and not as a long-term diet. " When I wrote that I was trying to get the point across that one doesn't have to think so far ahead. When we worry about giving up everything, we tend not to start things. So, my thinking is/was that one should just worry about the initial problem - cleansing. I didn't mean that this diet/lifestyle should be considered temporary.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Dave So do all doctors who recommend eating meat! The best food to build up your cancer is protein. There is no more concentrated source protein than meat. That may be why most doctors do not even pretend to have a cure for cancer. This of course is a generalization.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Dave, If I had kidney disease, I start by a good water fast to clean out all the contamination that landed me in that situation in the first place. Also I would stay away from alcohol totally. I am not saying a fast is a cure all. I am saying it is a good starting point. That said I think it is a good idea to read about fasting before starting one. Just put water fasting into a search engine and many texts will appear. In speaking to dozens of medical practitioners, I have never met one who had anything other than scepticism about fasting. They worry about missing some nutrient... ... they do not realise that with digestion closed down, the body can focus on putting other things right. You can beat your disease - so do not just lie down and take the punishment Peter. P.S. If you can ask your medical advisor to identify the essential components in meat that make a contribution to being healthy, there are lots of people here who will tell you where better sources of the same nutrients can be found.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 > Please elaborate on what is proper food combining. I know there are various > schools of thought on this - macrobiotic, whole protein, etc. - Food combining is to keep the foods requiring different digestive juices apart. Don't mix carbs with proteins and don't mix carbs with fats. Sweet Fat is the biggest enemy of all. More refined combining separates fruits from vegetables and sweet fruits from other fruits, and melons separate from everything else.. rusty.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Tim asked: " Is this proper food combining? " Tim, I have no idea. But intuition and muscle testing tell me the combination works. I've noticed that when something is right with what we're eating, I'll know it pretty quickly. Usually, the smell will make me sick or it just won't go down. Please elaborate on what is proper food combining.

I'm new to the group as well as relatively new to being a vegan. I never really enjoyed meat and decided one day that as I am the cook in the house there was nothing to stop me from eating the way I want to. I am the only one in the family that has changed diets. My husband is supportive but won't change. My in laws all think I'm nuts and make it a point to harass me as often as they can. My kids will try almost anything but still like their meat. I live in the Tampa Bay Area of FL. I have 3 kids, a wonderful husband and a small zoo (dog, 3 cats, bird, turtle, 55 gal. fresh water tank).

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Hi Heather, I think the blood type stuff is all rubbish. Incidentally I'm also O and Rh -; practically nothing in there at all :-) I had similar problems, but then also found there were times on a meat-eating diet when I was low on energy. People unintentially make us paranoid, as if having high energy levels all the time is what actually happens in life - like being happy all the time or anything else. When I eat meat, I used to think " Huh, I'm tired " , but when I was vegan I'd worried " is it my diet? " , when most of the time it wasn't. One thing I do now that I didn't do then is to take B12 supplements regularly. I wanted it all 100% natural then, despite recognising we live in an environment that isn't natural at all. I'm not convinced now that the sources many of us then thought were reliable (i.e. miso, tempeh, seaweed, spirulina etc.) are actually B12 sources at all. In fact it looks as if they may actually interfere with our uptake. Eating dirty greens might work, of course, but I'm not used to the grit :-) whereas the supplements work fine. hth Mike On Behalf Of blujett8 08 September 2005 13:23 new hi all i'm new to the group and thought I'd say hello. I was vegan a few years ago , then tried macrobiotics for a while. Both times I had trouble with my energy levels after about six months. I was told by a number of people that it's because i'm blood type O. What are your thoughts on this? Is this really a valid thing? Are there any folks out there who have successfully gone vegan for a number of years who are type O ? Right now I'm eating a lot of vegan foods, but also free range eggs twice a week and occasionally tuna as well...I would love to go vegan all the way! thanks for your help or any advice you may have heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Hi Heather and WELCOME to the group! All I can say on blood types is that when I first researched into becoming a Vegan I read " Eat Right For Your Type " . It stated that for my blood type I needed to consume alot of meat. 3 years of Veganism later I am healthier than I have ever been, no longer have a calcium or iron deficiency and have more energy. I think it is more a matter of balancing the right foods and making sure that you are getting the nutrients/vitamins that you need more than anything. Hope this helps!
