RE: The Pros to eating Meat / Flesh
I'm on the AIP/Paleo diet which is heavy in bone broth, organ meat, gelatin, fat and veggies. Low on sugars, fruits and other carbs. No chemicals, additives, dairy, processed food, nightshades, gmos, colors, flavors, pesticides etc.
I do this because I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and find this diet to be the best for me to relieve pain, reduce nodule sizes, and give me energy to actually get out of bed in the morning.
I had been vegetarian for many years and got sicker and sicker with no energy and in massive amounts of pain 24/7. The change in my symptoms was pretty much immediate when I made the change.
This is my example. I hope it helps and makes sense :)
Sounds like an amazing nutritional and toxin avoidance plan, similar to my own. I've also benefited significantly from drinking Bulletproof coffee.
I, also have experienced the inflammation issues of arthritis. After giving up nightshades, grains, and sugar, including most fruit, what was genuinely crippling pain is now as though it never was.
With nightshades I've narrowed down the negative effects to lectins, which produce inflammation, and glycoalkaloids, which disrupt neural function. This varies, in the effects, from each nightshade to the next, and in some cases varies depending on how ripe the individual food is. Any further light that you can shed on this would be welcome.
In communication with others, I find it helps to clarify that ALL animal products from ruminants be grass fed and grass finished. This is a major issue in the U.S.of A. Most animals here are turned into poison by being fed grain.
It makes sense, and I agree: the "vegetarian" diet (in the terms of what Americans consider as vegetarianism) is complete garbage. Have you tried fasting?
Don't fear the fruit!! Keep it in mind as a consideration for the future--there's a lot of great things to learn about fruit :) And i'm very happy that you got the animal flesh part out of your diet :)
Well, organ meat is flesh - I do badly on a lot of fruit. I'm allergic (by skin test) to yeast, wheat and rye. This means a lot of sugar from any source does a horrible number on me. The fruit I do eat is the least sweet I can get as sugar really pulls me down.
I do fast from time to time. I'm in several fasting groups and try various ways of doing it. Maybe I will try the candida cleanse next as I know i am full of that mess now.
For me - everything I do is about pain and energy. For example - an eggplant will burn my lips and make me swell up like a balloon. Bone broth for breakfast means I have energy for hours.
I'm in Thailand so thankfully away from the us garbage food. It took me a good year to get it all out of my system when I got here. My fingernails grew out brown stuff and I was 100% organic and non-processed in San Diego. Watching my nails grow out pink was a very interesting event I did not expect.
Yes, organ meat is flesh / tissue. I still recognize you as someone amazing that has made vast improvements and will help others. That makes me smile :)
There's a reason you "do bad" on fruit. It is a detox, which is never comfortable. You are actually doing GOOD! Feel free to share your "symptoms" of fruit on some fruitarian groups or to detox groups. Add me on facebook (or tag me -- name is "Robert Genito") and I'll add you to many useful groups where people are rapidly getting results :) It will work for you, because you are also a human being.
Thank you for sharing! Glad to hear about the fingernails...I had a nail issue for many years as well, and I'm very happy that my nails are beautiful now :D
I'll gladly join any fb group. I'm close to 800 of them on a variety of issues.
I tested positive for allergies to yeast, wheat and rye with those needle tests many years ago and have done it two more times and I am very allergic.
I was told to avoid sugar, alcohol etc. So I just have avoided fruit and starch and all of that for years. It was getting rid of processed food and chemicals that allowed me to lose all my weight about 6 years ago and I have been detoxing in various ways since. I'm always open to more ideas. I will most definitely connect on fb. Thanks for the offer :)
Added you on FB :)
Thank you! I connected too. I'm not there much except working pages I run and posting in groups. I gave up on the feed and posting to my profile for the most part.
tru, you are a creator :)
I get in fights over there at fb - trying to post my message of health. But I get some good results out of it too - mostly to pages I run. I've really let my posting go there since I got here :)
