Wow, that's quite a statement. Any proof to back it up?

Hmmm, ok, I'll try to dredge it up out of my memory. wow, that's hard. I feel

like I've been eating the NT way for ever but it's only been a year. Well I was

vegetarian. I ate a lot of salads. I did eat feta cheese but that was about my

only concession to animal fats. From memory, I ate fruit until midday. Had

leftover dinner for lunch or a salad. Dinner was often Japanese: rice, miso

soup, stir-fried vegetables and tofu. I rarely ate animal fats and just had a

bit of olive oil (except for when I liver flushed and drank lots!).

Sally's seminar convinced me that humans need animal fats to be healthy. We

were heading towards wanting to start a family and as averse as I was to eating

meat, I was not prepared to risk the health of my child. Otherwise I think I

would have ignored the seminar and not changed. The lecture was based on the

Cholesterol Myths. She also talked about a vegan community near where she lives

where almost every second child has Down's Syndrome. Besides the fear of what

I might do to my child, the whole philosophy of the NT way appealed to me. I

love the idea of community based farming and living. 2 friends and I started

buying bulk wholesale fruit and veg and splitting it between us, so organic food

became possible. Then I went to a kefir workshop and started on raw milk and

butter. For the first time in my life, I became interested in food and cooking.

For me, eating had always been just to satisfy hunger and be healthy (in the way

that I thought). I love the fact that we have very little rubbish because we

don't eat processed, packaged foods.

The big turn around for me with my gallstones was the " ask the doctor "

gallstones page on the website. Until I read that, the only alternative to

surgery seemed to be liver flushing but whilst I was able to transform my

health, I couldn't flush out the last stubborn calcified stones. When I worked

out that I needed fat for my body to dissolve the stones and not produce any

more, it all fell into place and now I have no problems.

I feel grateful every day for having discovered NT before starting a family. I

am now watching my childhood friend who also became vegetarian at 14 struggling

with all her child's health problems. He has so many allergies, eczema and has

even had some kind of weird cancer (tumour on his toe). Even just eating a not

so good egg caused him to turn green, collapse and be hospitalised. Thank god I

don't have to walk that path, well I'm assuming so anyway!

Well I won't go on. I hope this has sort of answered your question.

Enjoy the seminar tomorrow, you lucky man!

No, it was just something she mentioned in the seminar that stuck in my mind.

Filippa,

We've got a small town in this county with extremely high Down's Syndrome

per capita. It was found that all of the affected children's water supply

came from the same river and that the nuclear plant above there, one of the

oldest in country, was putting more than it was supposed to in runoff to the

river. Plant is closed now.

==> Wow, that's shocking. It would be good to find out from Sally more details

of what she said and of course it is possible that I have mis-remembered it.

But it was enough to shock me into not being a vegetarian so even if the story

was hogwash I'm grateful for it!

Doubt the story is hogwash. Diet is foremost to battling off all the garbage

of industry on top of just trying to live life at times. Another similar

story heard is of a couple that gave up their busy city lives to live in the

country and raise their family. Bought an old farmhouse in Maine. Soon after

moving there everyone wasn't feeling well. Another child was born that was

sickly then died. Looked into it and it was found their water supply had

high amounts of pesticide residue from potato farming there. People just

don't think what their businesses could do to others. Just what they can

make from it.
