vegan vs animal

[Guest guest]

When I was little my parents raised chickens. They weren't given any chemicals

or drugs that I

know of. We had several acres and they were in a big pen so they could run

around freely when

they wanted.

So we were fed chicken and eggs. The smell of bacon and eggs cooking in the

morning and coffee

made me nauseated. When I was sick my mom gave me milk, toast and egg which

made me more sick.

A regular part of the diet was peanut butter and whatever else sandwiches. I

would throw up at

night and when we were driving in the car and was allergic to everything. My

dad got mad at me

cause I couldn't wait for him to drive to next town to throw up and did it out

the window

instead while we were driving. I woke up one morning when we were camping and

had thrown up in

the night and didn't even remember it. This is what being brought up with

animal foods and

conventional practices did to me and I am very lucky to be here today in spite

of them.

One time when I was about 20 I ate only rice and tomato sauce for a few months

to save money.

It worked, and was also probably the best diet I'd eaten at that time! But then

I continued to

eat meat into my 20s and sometimes ate a pound of hamburger at a time. It

disgusts me now to

even think of that and I am ashamed to admit it! I started running again in my

mid 20s and

trained hard and then ran a couple of marathons. I thought I was very fit and

was reasonably

fast running but people would run right away from me the longer the race.

Then when I was 28 is when I tried the freshly made raw vegetable juices. I

kept improving and

soon ran the mile as fast as when I was 19. My ten mile time went from 75

minutes to 54 and

marathon from 3:34 to 2:35 on hilly courses in the heat. I ran in Los Angeles

and went from 30

miles a week to 132 and could run and run and not get tired. I ran 31 miles

close to 6 minute

pace when it was in the 90's with no water. I'd drunk a 1/2 gallon of fresh

vegetable juices

before starting but there was no water on the course, a mistake.

On the rare occasion, not recently, that I've been away from home and tried to

eat chicken, I've

not been able to run the next day. It affects me that way and immediately.

When I first went

on the juices and then had a little meat I would feel it in my system for a

week! Like the

poison it is. So I never ate it again and I don't eat chicken or any other

meat.

I am just relating my experiences here as others have done. Anyone can do what

they choose to

do. I believe in free will, all of us having access to all of the relevant

information, the

truth, and being able to make our own decisions and own choices.

For me, I have had many trials and tribulations in my life. I can tell you that

meat made me

sick and it made me unhealthy and it almost killed me. And the fresh vegetable

juices saved my

life. I would not be here today had I not taken them. Thank you, Dr. !

He is gone now,

at age 118, but I am so thankful for him being here and writing his books. I

hope this is

helpful to some of you too.
