Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Sana, look at it this way, you have been eating grains, fruits, nuts and legumes all your life and you have been getting sicker and sicker. So what will it hurt to try something different. It took me 25 years to figure out that when you keep doing the same thing over and over and keep getting the same results... that is called lunacy. Believe me, I understand, cause I am still trying to get up the nerve to take sea salt with my very high blood pressure. But everything Bee has told me to try so far has been right on the money, I will add the electrolyte drink today.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Thanks Pyllis, I hear you. However, I haven't quite grown up eating all those types of foods since they were part of the tradition in my great grandma/grandma's time and changed quite a bit in my parent's generation. We actually grew up on a heavy emphasis on meat which was most always home cooked along with white rice, white bread and wheat tortillas/rotis. Not many veggies and fruits at all and when we moved to the US, a lot more junk snacking. I'm wondering what the long term results are in health of people who are eating only protein and fats. Instead of success stories which I feel like are posted on every alternative diet fad website out there, I would like to know real people who have stuck with this diet for 20 some years and are thriving in terms of their health. And people that are living in the US preferably the same weather conditions as mine instead of eskimos or desert bedouins. I cant help but think that the needs of people would differ based on what the earth and environment deems fit for them. Not trying to cause raucous here!

There is a person, called " The Bear " who has been eating all meats and fats for over 47 years: http://zerocarbage.com/showthread.php?tid=53 +++Also long-term health benefits have been documented on the Eskimos, and by a year-long experiment done with V. Stefansson and his friend at a hospital: http://www.biblelife.org/stefansson1.htm +++Also many studies have been done on the Masai Tribe in Africa and they are perfectly fit and healthy and have been for centuries, and they eat an equivalent of 1 1/2 lbs. of butter per day: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foods26.php +++There are tons of others, in addition to studies of skeletons as documented by Dr. Weston A. Price and V. Stefansson in their books. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
