On Vegetarianism
I'm just going to put this into a linkable blog instead of taking over the post ...
Our bodies are designed to run on things like saturated/unsaturated fats, cholesterol, etc. There are keys systems in the body that cannot function properly without them, like the brain for one. The saturated fat in beef has been recently found to actually accelerate fat loss by burning abdominal fat, yes fat is a bad bad thing... Where people are messing up are eating fats and carbs together. The fat will be burned for energy first and the rest stored.
Humans are older than agriculture. Yes there are some whose genetics have become tolerant to agricultural food items, but not all of us have. There are many of us with the more primitive genetics who are not as tolerant to these things.
Nutritionists have long been changing their opinions on the proper diet because they find that something they're selling isn't right. Just look at when we were growing up, salt was the bad thing then they found out places without iodized or sea salt consumption ended up with failing thyroids. Back in the 90s they believed there was nothing missing and nothing wrong with being vegetarian, they've retracted that in recent years. There is always a new nutritionist perspective on diet and what should be eaten, which ironically if you look at who funded the study is surprisingly the food group who is being promoted. You have to look at the whole study and all sides not just what is said in one supposed peer study. You can tweak data in such a way to make anything correct. Like soy, fine if you eat enough of it you can get the proper protein intake but that study doesn't mention the host of issues your body gets from ingesting that much estrogen, how toxic those legumes really are without being processed and the host of brain related issues. Or the fact they are on the FDA's Toxic Plant list. Why is all this ignored and them (along with other toxic plants) pushed as "good nutrition"? Simple, they are our cash crops. The more soy, corn and wheat they can sell the more those farmers will make, the more the gov gets. It also pushes up medication sales by keeping us sick.
Asians and soy? They eat a small amount of /fermented/ soy as a side with their meals. It is not laden in all of their foods like it is here and the fermentation process will help ease out the toxicity. It won't stop the problems with estrogen production though. What's wrong with too much estrogen you ask? The big one is that there are more cancers that feed off of it than off of any other hormone in the body, you're just inviting those specific cancers to come and play.
Cancer in general is not because of eating meat, the FDA has been trying to say that for decades (as well as many grains were thought to cause it, cooking eggs too fast, cooking food in general, pasteurization... if there was something that could be eaten or touched it's been blamed for cancer at some point in the past few decades). It is because of ph issues in the blood, you need a balanced ph for the body to be healthy and cancer free. This is eating both alkaline foods (a good chunk of vegs and grain alternatives like quinoa) and acidic foods (like fruits and meat) in a balance. The tumors I had back when I was a vegetarian are long gone now after I switched to what my body needs to be healthy and the use of an herb tincture.
A vast majority of the exotic diseases plaguing the us are not linked to meat, they are linked to grains and legumes *legasp*. Chron's, Celiac, Hashimoto's, Grave's, RA, etc. are all due to gluten and inflammatory foods. These are grains, legumes and a good chunk of vegetables. There are also issues with the fact that many vegetables and esp grains will bind your body from being able to use key minerals. You can ingest all the iodine you want but if you're eating these binding agents as well your body will not be able to use the iodine. A plant long used in India for healing is also being linked to "leaky gut" because it's in the nightshade family (just like root vegs), thus linked to all autoimmune diseases and inflammation. I still use it due to it's benefit in helping my adrenal fatigue though.
Not killing anything? Here's a few points to ponder...
- You are killing a plant when you eat it. Even if you are a fruitiarian in order to not kill the plant in order to survive, the fruit is the embryo of the plant so no different than eating an egg or other unborn child of the host.
- Plants kill each other in order to survive, you need only to garden to see this.
- Life and death is a part of nature, something eats another in order to survive. Hell plants even eat us when we die and decompose.
- Animals in a stock yard are not out in free in nature, but what animal lives out their life fully in peace in the wild? Predator animals will constantly be on the look out for something to kill and on the look out for whatever might be trying to kill them. The prey animals will be on the constant run from things that feed on them. On the off chance one does live to old age, it'll be eaten by a predator. Humans are animals, no different than the rest of this cycle.
My experience of the two years I was vegetarian:
- I gained 150 lbs in 6 months despite constantly working out and eating what the nutritionists where claiming as healthy back then.
- I had a few organ failures begin, which I'm finally starting to rehab those organs.
- I had little to no energy and massive deficiencies.
- I was constantly depressed and seriously retarded in all possible aspects of self, even gave up on spirituality.
- I was constantly in pain and swollen all over.
- I developed high blood pressure.
The actual list of what I'm allergic to:
-Vegs: most vegs that are not questionably fruit
-Grains: wheat, corn, etc.
-Legumes: beans, soy, etc.
-Leavening agents: yeast (includes high yeast fruits), baking soda/powder, crème of tartar, etc.
-Chlorine, bromine (even brominated veg oil), flouride (which all these are bad for everyone due to affects on the body).
My experience since becoming meat heavy omnivore in the past 4 yrs or so:
- I've gotten back a great deal of my strength, vitality and emotional health. I'm even losing the social anxiety to the point I'm finding a few people I can be comfortable.
- My drive to enhance my spirituality came back in spades and has been awakening at a near maddening pace.
- I've been dropping weight, sometimes 10lbs in a week. I'm no longer swollen to the point of looking like I was going to pop like an over laden water balloon.
- I'm not in so much pain all the time. There are days where I barely feel the fibro if at all.
- My basic blood panel has balanced out (cholesterol, liver enzymes, etc.) and I have the numbers of an athletic teen.
- My blood pressure is back to low-normal.
- My skin colour is coming back, hair stopped falling out and is regrowing, skin is over all healthier in appearance.
- Even reversing the damage to my organs, it's been a long grueling process but it's been worth it. Who knows I may be able to drop a few of the medications that have been keeping me alive all these years. I've already reduced them.
-My immune system is calming down to the point where I have been able to stop the immune suppression medication I've been on for 7 yrs. Even if I get ahold of something that caused an ER visit before, I barely get hives anymore. Mostly I'll bloat or swell and be miserable until my immune system deals with the offender.
Since the paleo diet is just a few variations away from what I can eat I'm going to be phasing over to it slowly. It keeps with the no carb, no leavening, no grains, and a chunk of veggies that are off the list. I am tired of eating solely meat and certain fruits so I'm hoping as my organs heal I can phase to the paleo diet for more variety.
