protein 1

February 19, 2002

Part 1 Thanks for your reply. Many

of my sources of information have already been

listed in my previous posts. As far as the info about

the Kwashiorkor, I got that first from a lecture by

Dr. Douglas Graham and then from page 46 in his book,

heard one of the people at the lecture confirm that he

already new the condition called Kwashiorkor was not

caused by a protein deficiency from a source different

from Dr. Graham. Dr. Graham is one of the top

leaders in the Natural Hygiene movement. He has been

eating a raw vegan diet for over 20 years now. He now

trains world class athletes, pros and Olympians on using

the raw diet for peak performance. He even worked

with Martina Navratilova and I can confirm that

because I asked her myself. He has also trained a couple

of world record holders who achieved those records

only after going to the raw diet. If these athletes

thrive on a lower protein diet I think the average

person might be able to as well. As far as the

amino acid pool, I believe that is pretty common

knowledge nowadays. At this point I can't remember all the

sources where I have read about that. I do remember that

the author Frances Moore Lappe in the classic

vegetarian book " Diet for a Small Planet/20th Anniversary

Edition, " had corrected her previous position on the need

to have complete amino acids present at every meal

for protein to be effective. She originally wrote it

just to make sure that she wouldn't get into any

trouble. I also think that Arthur Baker's book " Awakening

our Self Healing Body, " has more info on that topic.

He is actually a member of this club, I think his ID

is Satsang1. Anyway I've read about this

protein issue several times from several different

sources. I'm sure someone in this group can come up with

some more sources for the protein pool idea and that

we don't need a complete protein at every meal.
