Guest guest Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 Hi everyone - I am curious about the remark someone made, that the eating of animal products is bad for you. I remember reading that some of the longest-lived societies (I recall it was a group of Eskimos and a group of people of Russian origins in I think the Caucasus region were studied) and the diets of both groups contained meat/fish. I always feel better after eating meat (although I'm not talking Mcs). I am lucky to live in the country where I am able to get free-range, grass fed meat raised on small farms, not hormone and antibiotic-laden meat from animals on dry feed lots that never see a blade of grass. Lately I have made a real effort to eat only meat, veg and a little fruit and cut out everything else and I feel fantastic. Surely my body is telling me something? Human beings wouldn't exist if it wasn't for our ancestor's ability to catch and kill their food. So why is it so bad? My husband loves meat. While I prefer small portions, he can easily consume an 18oz T-bone steak. He was raised on the country-style traditional " meat and two veg " meals and that's all he eats. His g/parents on his father's side, who were farmers and raised sheep and beef, both lived into their late 90s. His father is in his 70's and still working. I truly believe quality free-range meat, along with veg and fruit, to be an asset to a diet and not harmful. ~Anne~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 i'll check out the china project thanks but your personal observations are incredibly flawed first off, there are many healthy cultures who are meat eaters. you can read weston price for a small sample of these cultures. there are also many people who recover from disease by eating animal products just as there are people who recover from disease by eliminating animal products. there is a big difference between a mcdonalds cheeseburger and raw wild game. merely looking at blood after a meal is ludicrous. this is the same mistake that darkfield microscopy people make. or the same mistake that hulda clark makes when blaming parasites for illness. how do you know that what you are viewing isnt a cleansing reaction similar to what happens during a liver flush. by the same logic we might say that likver flushes causes stones, just look in the toilet. the stones are made of coagulated bile. i have often had stones stuck, and could feel bile being produced and then trapped. so these stones could then just as easily be formed by drinking water. the debate continues about animal products. there are so so many variables. a few of which could be. raw or cooked, grassfed or grainfed, what is the method of cooking, was it combined with carbohydrate, were the animals slaughtered properly, were they fed hormones, did they eat feed with pesticide... the list can go on and on one thing that people miss about cleansing is that it's about how the food you eat reacts with the poison inside you. most of us are walking cesspools as evidenced by the flushes. do you think that every other part of your body is not as polluted? not likely. so when you cleanse, which happens every night, or every time you fast, there are uncountable reactions taking place. my personal experience has been that eating meat and certain fruit, will provoke a massive healing reaction. one that has induced the release of hundreds of pounds of waste from my intestines. as powerful as that experience is, it is hardly evidence that meat causes this or that. it is just my personal experience. the fact that juicing provokes a cleansing reaction does not mean anything other than exactly that. we could extend the same logic and say flushes provoke cleansing so that epsom salts grapefruit juice and olive oil are man's intended diet. still i'm open to the idea that animal products do cause them, but i need something much better.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 Hi Rosemary, I have known about H. Acres, Barleygreen, etc. for years. Yes, their web site is good and has interesting information. I do struggle, however, with using the Bible as a guideline for eating vegetarian. In my years in the Nutrition field, and being a Christian, I have heard that done by others as well. The reason I struggle with it, is that after the flood, God says eating meat is okay...Gen. 9:3 " Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything. " God also gave guidelines later about meats that were better not eaten, and many of those we now know are more parasitic, etc., so God may have given these guidelines with the health of the people in mind. I have always wondered about that and wonder how the " hallalujah acres " folks respond to that. I do believe that we should eat " everything in moderation " and things that are unprocessed, though I fail at times in both of these areas. I really think that so much of our problem is excess, over-processing of foods, the pollution we have brought upon the earth, and the lack of nutrients present even in the foods we do eat because we are depleting our soils. Just some thoughts that keep coming to mind... ....I do enjoy your posts :-) L.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 Hi, There was a study done over many years called " The China Project. " It has been well documented that where populations eat lots of animal products, they suffer far higher rates of heart attacks, strokes, osteoporosis, gall stones, cancers etc, etc. There are many scientific studies to back this up. I think you can buy " The China Project " from www.hacres.com along with lots of other interesting books. Prior to going on the Hallelujah diet 3 years ago, I had chronic stroke-like symptoms most of the time due to chronic Lyme disease. I was numb down my left side. Since getting off animal products my circulation has improved tremendously. My husband had a high PSA reading and trouble passing urine. By the third month on the diet this had all returned to normal. His chronic anemia is also gone along with Fibromyalgia and other problems. Since going on the diet I hardly ever have gall bladder attacks. However, I ate lots of animals for the first 42 years of my life. I believe the stones that are coming out now have been there for a long time. I LOVED eating animal products, but now I don't want my liver clogged up like that ever again! It's not worth it. Another excellent website can be found if you do a search for " A Diet For All Reasons " by Klapper M.D. We have his video in which he explains all of this in medical terms. He also shows actual photos of really fatty blood after a heart by-pass patient had eaten a cheese burger. It's a real eye-opener! I believe the gall stones are about 95% cholesterol. The fat you get from plants, nuts, seeds and oils does not contain cholesterol. This fat does not solidify at body temperature. Animal fat does, and can do so in our arteries. Hope this helps, Wishing you health, Rosemary. ----- Original Message ----- From: aluckower gallstones Sent: Friday, April 11, 2003 8:32 AM Subject: animal products im wondering why people think that animal products cause these gallstones is there any evidence either anecdotal or otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 Hi Gang, I will try to answer some of these questions without offending anyone. Hi Rosemary, I do struggle, however, with using the Bible as a guideline for eating vegetarian. In my years in the Nutrition field, and being a Christian, I have heard that done by others as well. The reason I struggle with it, is that after the flood, God says eating meat is okay...Gen. 9:3 " Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything. " The original diet for mankind was laid down in Genesis 1;29. Then, because there was so much sin in the world, God decided to wipe mankind out with the flood. Because of Noah, God changed His mind and decided to shorten mankind's lifespan. That is when He said we could eat meat and other animal products. God has allowed many things,(like divorce for example) but it does not mean they are good for us, and there is usually a price to pay. God also gave guidelines later about meats that were better not eaten, and many of those we now know are more parasitic, etc., so God may have given these guidelines with the health of the people in mind. I have always wondered about that and wonder how the " hallalujah acres " folks respond to that. Malkmus has written a little book called " A Health Primer. " (I think that's the name of it.) He answers lots of these questions from a Biblical perspective. From memory it is only a few dollars. I haven't bought one as I am in Australia and his books are hard to get here. One that I do have is called " Why Christians Get Sick. " In this book he talks about all the chemicals in our foods, air and water and how far we have come from God's original plan for us. Excellent stuff. I do believe that we should eat " everything in moderation " and things that are unprocessed, though I fail at times in both of these areas. I really think that so much of our problem is excess, over-processing of foods, the pollution we have brought upon the earth, and the lack of nutrients present even in the foods we do eat because we are depleting our soils. Just some thoughts that keep coming to mind... ...I do enjoy your posts :-) Thanks . For years I ate what I thought was healthy food in moderation. I ate skinless chicken, fish and low fat red meat. I ate low fat organic yoghurt, wholegrains, fruit and vegies, etc. Most things were home- cooked and I thought I was doing the best for my family, according to the knowledge I had at the time. I had previously been on the Atkins diet, low-carb diets, Weight-Watchers, etc, etc. Though all of these diets had some merrit, nothing helped me like the Hallelujah diet. This diet has got me out of a wheelchair when nothing else could. I have been sick with chronic Lyme disease for 24 years. I was misdiagnosed for 22 years and not given anti-biotics, so you can imagine I have quite a bit of neurological and muscle damage. The diet has definately stopped the deterioration, but not cured me at this late stage. The diet has certainly cured every other problem my husband and I had which was caused by eating animal products. I would encourage anyone to just try it for at least 21 days and then see how you feel. You have nothing to lose and might be surprised by the results you get. Wishing you all health, Rosemary. L.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 Thank you for some very good information and suggestions to try and use. I am vegetarian, have been off and on for years, but now I am all the way and will stay that way. I feel better and it is easier for my system to handle the first hand protein I eat. I have found that the vegetarian diet is easier on the GB and Liver as well if you have those problems, and I have had my share of them. Again thanks for the information. > > Hi Gang, > I will try to answer some of these questions without offending anyone. My post is in bold, larger lettters.
