The Perils Of Animal Products.

[Guest guest]

Dear Anne,

I appreciate your comments. For years I lived on organic meats, etc, and

certainly agree that if you are going to eat animal products, organic is

best.

However, after experiencing the results of going off all animal products, I

can only recommend the Hallelujah diet to anyone to is chronically ill.

I have been battling chronic Lyme disease for over 24 years. I was

misdiagnosed for 22 years, so I didn't get anti-biotics until the last few

years. By this stage it was too late. I already have muscle-wasting,

vision problems and neurological damage.

Prior to this diet I was numb down my left side, my glands were hugely

swollen, I had severe migraines often, breast lumps etc, etc. I was eating

what I thought was a healthy, balanced diet. But animal products turn the

blood fatty and Lyme had effected my circulation terribly.

When I started on this diet I was using a walking frame most days and a

wheelchair sometimes. (I'm 46 years old!)

The diet has made such a huge difference to my health.

I used to think we needed lots of protein, but the truth is that in the West

we eat way too much protein. When you eat animal products, it turns your

system acidic. In order to neutralise the acid, the body leeches calcium

(alkaline) from the bones. The medical term is " Protein Induced

Hypercalciurea " , meaning that you are literally peeing the calcium out when

you eat too much protein. The highest rates of Osteoporosis are in the

countries where the most animal products are eaten, contrary to popular

advertising!

If you want to know more about this do a search for Dr. Klaper's " A

Diet For All Reasons. " It's really amazing. As much as I love the taste of

meats, I could never go back to the shocking state I was in from eating

them.

Wishing you health,

Rosemary.
