Pork Consumption? Good or Bad?

[Guest guest]

Hi, My name is and I've been following your candida program and the

Nourishing Traditions/WAP insights for about a year and a half. I'm feeling

great and getter stronger every day. I have some simple yeast symptoms left and

some immune depletion, but nothing like when I first started. Which was that I

couldn't walk on my right leg(knee and foot inflammation) and I had severe yeast

infection and fatigue that would knock me flat.

We get a pork share twice a year that is well raised/fed. I have come across

lots of information concerning the eating of pork and the problems it can cause

and why we shouldn't consume it, i.e. it is a non-ruminating / split toe animal

instead of hoof and ruminating like cow, deer. And I have heard that the pig on

a cellular level is much like a humans which is supposedly problematic. I love

to eat pork, think it tastes scrumptious and it so happens that sometimes I

don't feel well after eating it. Its not always the case, but occasionally this

happens. It almost feels like my immune system is compromised or something-

which of course is one of the big issue I'm fighting with the candida!

So the question is do you have any thoughts about pork consumption and these

perspectives that people put out? Also, do you have any references on a sound

perspective about eating porK? I know that lots of cultures enjoy pork and I'd

just like a straight answer, maybe there isn't one!! Enig, co-author of

Nourishing Traditions, who is Jewish doesn't recommend eating pork and there

aren't many recipes in the cookbook. Thanks for your thoughts and your program

and wonderful website. I am so thankful for you and finding the sight - I think

it may have saved my life...its the best resource available right now for

candida help. I've recommended it to so many others.

Thanks,

+++Hi ,

I'm so happy you are progressing so well. Good for you!

Pigs are actually non-ruminant omnivores, and so are humans, birds (chicken and

turkey), bears, squirrel, etc. We do not think of chicken and turkey as

unclean, so why should we think pork is any different.

Actually meat is tissue, and it doesn't matter if it comes from a pig, a cow, a

chicken, or in some cultures, a rat--meat is meat.

Not feeling well after eating pork isn't because of the meat.

I cannot speak for religions that taboo pork. Some religions taboo all meats,

including eggs, i.e. in India. We had a young person in that religion on our

group, who was dependent upon family and was very sick. The family and

community would ban anyone who ate meat or eggs, so our member had to sneak

cooking and eating them at a friend's home.

All the best, Bee
