Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hi Tammy, I don't think there is anything that you could say or do that would make your friends change their minds. I say this because I used to be them! By that I mean that I was a vegetarian for 16 years before converting to Bee's program in June. For me, it was an aversion thing - the thought of meat disgusted me. It still does, actually, but I've gotten over some of the disgust enough to actually eat it. The thought of meat sometimes still gives me the dry heaves, especially when I feel nauseated from die-off, but I eat it because I want to get better. (On the really bad days, I eat fish! LOL!!!) I tried many times to do a 'vegetarian anti-candida diet' but it's just not possible. I knew I had candida for those 16 years and still was in denial that eating meat would make me better. Nothing anyone said to me would get me to eat meat. It had to come from me. I did a lot of soul searching to finally convert. I would think it would the same for your friends, too. Nothing you will say will convince them. It will have to come from them. Probably the only thing you can do is to keep reporting your progress to them. If they see your improvements, they might consider it. I had to be really sick before I could even 'go there' with the whole meat eating thing. It was more in desparation that I made the change - it was my only option - I had to do it and I knew it. I imagine it would probably be the same for them. Here's an article about vegetarian myths: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foods34.php Hopefully something I said helps! > > Bee, > > <snip> Unfortunately, they are both vegetarians.

Unfortunately human bodies are not designed to be healthy without animals meats, eggs, fish, etc. However we've had many vegetarians on this group who have changed over to this diet once they understood enough.

It was when my health deteriorated greatly due to candida and my diet that I knew that I had to change my eating to regain my health. My reasons for being a vegetarian were both ethical and an aversion to the taste. It was not easy, but I started with poultry, fish and have recently added grass-fed beef. Though, I do eat a lot of eggs in comparison to these. The aversion to the taste has changed (though it was not immediate) - I do not mind the taste now. The ethical reasons are still there if I think about it - but I just " don't go there " . If I do start to think about it I just remind myself that this way of eating is making me healthier - which it is. Hope this helps - they can change if they want to and as Bee said, when they understand. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Something I learned recently is that aversion to meat can be a sign of copper toxicity. Something that vegetarians are prone to. When they do eat meat, the zinc in the meat (which they desperately need) causes a copper dump making them feel nauseous. Can even cause vomiting.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Wow! That's very interesting, Irene. It seems to make some sense to me since I sometimes feel quite nauseated after eating. Thank goodness we are all taking the good fats that will chelate the copper out our systems. I wonder how it got there in the first place. Any ideas? Do you happen to have a link that refers to this information? > > Something I learned recently is that aversion to meat can be a sign of > copper toxicity. Something that vegetarians are prone to.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Well, vegetarian food is high in copper and low in zinc. If you become zinc deficient then you will accumulate copper. Also if you live in an area where the houses have copper pipes, you will have high exposure. There are also other sources of copper exposure that I don't know off the top of my head. If you have ever had an IUD, then you are definitely at risk. And without zinc you can't excrete it. I don't have a link for this. I heard it in a talk at the Weston Price conference. If I find anything I will post it. Irene At 09:53 AM 12/4/2008, you wrote: >Wow! That's very interesting, Irene.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Because their diets are naturally low in zinc and high in copper. Once you become zinc deficient you tend to accumulate copper.
