son: i did it for my health
mom: i did it for my son
dad: i did it because they made me and i had to 😂
Wow! What a truly inspiring story, I thought I saw all your videos until I got to this one......it’s so nice to see you, Craig, up working and out of the wheel chair! It goes to show you what we can do when we take charge of our own health! Your family is awesome!
Your family was really awesome going vegan to support you, its great to see you all together, seems like you really get along with each other so well!
They're the best family I've had so far
Just found your videos and I'm so stoked. I've been having a lot of MS type symptoms and attacks lately and I see a neurologist in September. I was also just diagnosed with high ldl cholesterol. I'm making the switch to a vegan lifestyle and I am so excited to watch all of your videos and learn.
Neat story, I love hearing peoples background, because people can assume whatever they want but to hear right from the person them selves brings a whole new light to who they are and why they do what they do. i.e. how you are very passionate about youtube and why. Totally cool youtube fam. Keep up the videos you guys rock!
I love the diet, high alcalines, go back to what earth provides for us. Lots of beans, lentils, peaches, fruits, chilis, tomatos all the good stuff we take for granted, as we keep walking past nature's goods to head straight for the chip aisle or the boxed & canned goods.
Thanks Jack! Glad you appreciate the behind the scenes type videos
Neat story you say, I lost the will to live. Sorry.
I'm just so happy for you right now, you literally made me cry listening to your story.
my mother has it. she is no longer on infusions she takes a single pill and hasn't relapsed. her diet couldn't be changed because of other health issues. I have fibromyalgia and i also can't change my diet as I get very sick every time i have dropped foods from my diet.
Hi Craig, great to see you’re still in amazing shape. Great video, my son has started ivig now and is making great progress. We have both made improvements to our diets also. A way to go to where you are though! I feel how your mum felt, i want to do what i can to support my son.
You are so inspiring, all the best , i love your videos x
This story is so inspiring! And pretty similar to my family. My daughter went vegetarian first and as I wanted to support her I joined in and went vegan one month later. At that time I didn´t even know that there is a word for eating no meat, dairy and any other animal products.... Cooking now is much more fun than it was before! And yes YT is great for educating yourself!
just discovered your videos and I love your fam! my brother has MS and was diagnosed at 16 now he is 36! it is so hard to get a diagnosis especially as a young person when they usually chuck it up to stress, anxiety, sleep, etc. i am not vegan but I am trying to slowly work my way into fully vegan days and dont purchase meat anymore. take care!
I absolutely love your family! You and your mom absolutely crack me up. I was wondering about your family's veganism so I just spent some time and found where you talked about it in your previous videos. Good for all of you! I know how much having an invisible illness can affect you and I'm glad that you found something to truly help you.
Thanks Melanie! Glad we could make you laugh, and thank YOU for the support :)
Do you have a list of the books you started with? I am so tired of being sick and tired and being told it is all in my head.
I do not drink soda or use a premade of packaged food. No hydrogenated oils.
I feel the worst right after I eat.
Thank you,
Juanita
So interesting to listen... I have had Ivig too for Myasthenia Gravis and have all sorts of health issues so we have started a vegan diet too , so hoping for good results!!
Oh! I asked about week ago why your family decided to go vegan, this answers it. I am on a noninflammatory diet myself for Fibromialgia and ulcerative colitis. and I'm thinking very seriously considering to go vegan. Thank you for sharing your stories
There's tons of people out there that have gone vegan because they have fibro and ulcerative, just google it and I'm sure you'll find lots of people who did just that.
I have UC and going vegan helped me so much! I still get occasional flare ups, but they're MUCH less intense than before and I was also able cut down on meds by like 90%. Hope your health improves as well, good luck!
This REALLY shows a parents love for there son.... Now we know why you guys are all Vegan... To help Craig....

Great Story, Great Family 🍃💕🍃
I’ve been Vegan for 37 yrs. it didn’t have a name then. I loved Animals and ate salads & fruit plucked from a tree. So I guess that would be Raw Vegan. People just said I was Vegetarian. I didn’t want anything to do with hurting animals. It wasn’t that much of a change for me. Most of my friends were Yogis and we meditated most of the time w/ Kundalini Yoga. I was considered the weird kid. I can recall tasting the blood from the animal products. The final straw was visiting my Grandfather & he was showing us kids how to prepare a chicken. They were walking around free.I will spare the details. That night we had it for dinner. I sat w/ my cousins & we stared at the batch of fried body parts. They called us stupid kids, as we left the table feeling ill.
It was quite easy after that🌱🍃💚
Great video. I was curious how that all happened. Have a wonderful day!
I loved your channel from the first video I saw. Most vegans wouldn't even give reassigning other than saying it has meat in it and that's wrong to eat meat, but I'm glad there are people out there that actually care about things like that. And if it possible could you make more, how they make their candy? I find it awesome and interesting to watch. I someday hope to become a candymaker.
Thank you so much, and this channel will actually not have any more candy making content...However I just started a new channel that you can subscribe to and we post candy related videos almost daily on that channel! ruclips.net/channel/UCFV5pMEsfMP8duOumA8klmA
Glad you found relief, I switched to eating vegan/pb for health reasons too.. I'm still undiagnosed but juicing gave me full relief of pain so from there I started eating plant based. My energy and quality of life is much better. Pain is greatly reduced by my diet. Yes and when the cook in the house goes plant based all the eaters start to change too.
Interesting, never heard of CDIP before. And this is the first time I heard someone talking about being vegan that didn't make me roll my eyes.
There's vegans who are normal people out there. Depending on where you live though they may be far and few between 😂
I wanted to ask why you were all vegan after I watched your thanksgiving video (I thought it was only you before that) but I thought it was too personal a question. By the way, your eyes are awesome, very hypnotising!
haha thank you Georgina
thank you for sharing your story!
If you eat a lot of fruit or just vegetables at one meal, doesn't it give you the runs? I'm not suspose to eat gluten, but it's so hard. What do you do about calcium and iron consumption?
My first few days being vegan yes it did, but after your body adjusts to the increase in fiber your just regular again. As for calcium and iron make sure you're eating your green leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds are very beneficial in that regard as well. After a while I've found that I don't really have to think about what I have to eat, it's just habit now.
Great story . Thumbs up !
Thanks Bruce!
6:13 "nature time"? don't you mean neature time?? how neat is that!
I have to say, I admire your mother for being like "I would have taken this illness if I could have so eating this way was only part of supporting my child." I really started crying at that. I do want to ask (because I am vegan, hoping to overcome illness) did you manage yet to get off the drugs they had put you on? ( I hope so--$8000!!! LORD HAVE MERCY!)
You guys are freaken awesome!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You have an amazing family
hoping the comments by multi beats was deleted. man.... sorry there are people like that out there
Craig that's awesome! But you didn't share how your health issues are doing since you went vegan and how long it's been since you went vegan.
Omg I didn’t know you guys were vegan!!!! That’s awesome!
wow.
I haven't gone vegan but I've definitely changed my diet and become much healthier. I've actually lost over 150 pounds. And I totally can relate to everything being super salty, and not wanting it anymore. I had gotten a craving for for my favorite type of chips, and decided to get some. I literally couldn't eat more than two, because they were SOOOOO salty to me. People from other countries say our snacks are too salty, and I totally get it now. I used to eat fast food literally multiple times a week when I first moved out. French fries are way too salty for me now. I could count on one hand the times I've been to a fast food place in the last four years. And the last time I actually ordered unsalted fries, and they still tasted like they had too much salt.
Good for you! Whether you're vegan or not yet I'm happy that you're being proactive about your health Brianna!
No Egg Craig Well you know, I had to make room for all the Hercules candy I'm going to be buying this Christmas. No but in all seriousness, thanks! That means a lot. Totally might've fangirled when I saw you responded to this comment! 😂
Thanks for sharing this! I wondered how you all became vegan. I'm trying to get to vegan, or at least vegetarian. Great video!
She is truly the most wonderful mother on the planet. She is really amazing. You are so blessed to have her. I feel a little jealous.
She's the best mother I've had so far!
I am jealous too, I have IBS and growing up it was this is what we are eating, eat or go without. I did have the mega kopectate
Sp. ? In the fridge.
@@philippicard3652 Same I have IBS too and my parents get mad when I don't eat anything they make.
@@NoEggCraig haha! Your so, funny Craig!!!🙂
I wish I had this kind of support from my own family
it's definitely something that does not go unappreciated on my end!
No Egg Craig That's really good to hear. I found these videos because i enjoy making candy at home, but fell in love with just listening to the family banter. it makes me very happy. :) thank you! i want all the candy making videos!!! any type is fine by me!
No Egg Craig you're so that they could do that but with someone like me that has Crohn's disease that can not do that because of the fiber because of fabric are Spain and someone has Crohn's disease mild or severe and we have to pee all over fruits and vegetables that has skin that could be peeled because of the fiber so now tell me for someone that has Crohn's disease or any other immune disease and they can't eat that much fiber how are these supposed to go vegan it's really hard if we have to boiler vegetables and kill the fiber in the vegetables are broken down and so forth with fruits but mostly or vegetables have to be boiled until there's barely anything left of them so I just want to Crohn's disease can go vegan but still she needs her meat
@Christine Verreault. Why do you pee on fruits and vegetables?...
andrea a
I think you mean peel. You peel the skin of fruit. Right?
Your mom is such an amazing lady! I was diagnosed with lymes disease 2 years ago and 1 year in I watched forks over knives and thought going vegan could help on my journey. That weekend my husband, kids and I all went vegan and haven't looked back. My mother on the other hand isn't very supportive. She has made fun if us and constantly questioned our decision. It made me cry to hear why your mom went vegan. Such a beautiful soul.
I literally only subbed for your parents making family and the jokes you made down there
Candy*
What an interesting family. The terrible illness brought a wonderful outcome. Awesome.
Exactly! It was a blessing in disguise!
Greetings, I'd be curious to know if you have ever been prescribed antibiotics previous to your symptoms, particularly Cipro, Levaquin, Avelox, or Ciprofloxacin? I ask because of the horrific side effects of this class of antibiotics known as fluoroquinolones. I had taken them for various things, bronchitis, sinus infection, and diverticulitis. My health got progressively worse each year, especially my mobility and weakness. It was 2.5 yrs ago after a 4 day hospital stay for diverticulitis flare and not being able to walk/stand but 2 steps or 3 that I began to look what was the cause. To be shock and horror I learned the very drugs that were given to be also were wrecking havor on my body. I just now looked up CIDP, and it sounds identical to what myself and thousands/thousands have had happened after taking them. There are many other health complications due to these antibiotics as well. After joining a support group on Facebook I've seen the damage of so many people who unknowingly took an antibiotic without hesitation. Drs are resistant to the facts that a drug can do the damage it has, but thankfully the FDA made changes on when it should be prescribed, now as the last line antibiotic and never if the patient is over 60 yrs of age. You might Goggle fluoroquinolone toxicity and see if it sounds like your health problems. Many who have been told they have fibromyalgia actually have been damaged by these drugs. I am now in a wheelchair because of the damage. Blessings to you and keep making the candy videos, your parents are real gems.
How nice to see such a supportive, loving family!
Talking about 10 watermelons in a week reminds me of my watermelon craving I used to get when I was pregnant with my (well she will be 17 this October) child. I sat down and ate 2 and a 1/2 watermelons in one sitting.
Hey as far as cravings go that's a pretty good one!
I like Grapefruit but can't eat or drink it as it reacts with a medicine I take. I like traditional Red Watermelon but I got spoiled by the Hybrid ones I love Orange fleshed watermelon it's sweeter that regular red. If you can finde it they are usually called Orangelo or Tendersweet watermelons. If you live in an area where Watermelon grows really well try to get starter plants and grow them they are so worth it!
I also craved watermelon when I was pregnant with my daughter that will turn 18 in October. We ate it every evening after work and we then would have supper after working in the yard
Your family cracks me up! I love when you have them in your videos. Favorite mom quote, "I like to party."
haha she does like to party!
This is a really interesting story as to why you went vegan, I was always curious how all three of you guys became vegan and was not expecting such a reason.
I love these kind of videos! Your parents are a trip!
Thanks guys!
Your family seems nice, god bless and greetings from Norway.
Thank you! Greetings from East Syracuse, NY!
wait u didnt explain how u found out not eating meat would help your condition?
Watch ruclips.net/video/ScxGrOB1z80/видео.html this will explain it all!!
A tomato is a fruit and is sweet by itself not salty
Janka Sidlo I taste both sweet and salt in tomatoes. It also depends on what type of tomato you eat!
@@oscarsmom9733aaaalllright it is still a fruit
@@jankasidlo5142 bully.
It was like a story time video and a candy video in one.
haha that's what we were going for!
I personally am not vegan but I love watching videos about veganism. Hoping when you're not busy making candy we will see some recipe videos!
Actually yes, when the busy season is done we intend on doing just that!
Can't wait!! I am assuming you're busy season goes on until middle of January?
Until East actually haha
And doctors always talking about how they hate their patients looking into their own symptoms.
And in the next breath, how they want their patients to be partners in their own health. But you try to be, and they're like, "Oh, we got a live one here ... " *shrug*
Hello from the fellow vegan candy maker up in Canada!
I went vegan for similar reasons as you, I was misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia at 16. I was eventually diagnosed properly with lupus and Crohn's disease at 20 (22 now). At one point I was sleeping 23 hours a day, in the hospital every week and on the way to having my intestines removed. I went vegan because I tried literally every other diet out there and nothing helped. Since being vegan (little over a year) I have been to the hospital once and can live a normal life again 98% of the time.
I'm actually transitioning my whole candy company into being vegan in January 😊
I hope that you guys are surviving the crazy candy Holiday season, it's been crazier than ever this year 😝
haha yeah it's been pretty nuts this year! But I'm so glad to hear you're doing better! Have you thought about posting a video of you making candy explaining why you went vegan? That would be a dream come true to have all our candy vegan, we will have to talk more in the future.
+No Egg Craig I actually brought a tripod today to start a RUclips channel for Shhugar in the new year! You guys completely inspired me to make candy videos 😊
Awesome! I can't wait to see the videos!
@@sarahf5142 I'm wondering, what happened to the transition and the videos? Any news?
Hey Sarah, not sure if you'll ever see this, but on the off chance I've had crohns since I was about 19 or 20 too. I haven't tried going fully vegan, but I've thought about doing some raw veganism and going vegan for the most part. My question is, did the raw food not bother your crohns? every time I have raw vegetables or fruit it seems to bother my intestines. I'd like to hear more about what your diet did for you
Wow....that is an amazing story. You and your family inspire. Do you eat your family's candy at all?
the vegan candy!
Well. I thought I couldn’t love you any more, but now I do ❤️
awwwww
Hi, I stumbled upon your family's videos a week or so and am HOOKED. I also am thrilled that I have a trip planned to visit friends in Hamilton, NY and hope to get to the store and pick up a bunch of the goodies I have seen. I have a couple questions. First, do your parents actually make the chocolate itself at your factory?? Second, since you have all become vegan are your mom and dad able to taste the chocolate for quality control or is that not needed because you have the same recipes and use the same products to make your chocolate?
Awesome, we can't wait to meet you Corey, Hamilton is only like an hour away! We actually purchase our chocolate from Peter's Chocolate. And they still taste test the chocolate, but when they're eating their normal food they are vegan.
Craig use cannabis I eat mine i am a medical marijuana patient in Canada checkout my playlist Med Hash Video's in come to my live streams I love you bro
OMG! I received my package today and I'm in heaven lol thank you so very much!
Awesome! What did you get!?
What an interesting family you have. I would do the same as your mom for my kid :)
You're a good Mom
I just subbed yesterday, I've been watching your videos since yesterday. I am thinking of switching over from vegetarian to vegan. Thanks for all the helpful videos!
Yassss Torii! Get it!
I have been vegan for 5 years and was vegetarian for 5 years before then and when I first started meatless I had so much energy. My body had such a positive reaction that I could never go back to eating meat.
creations landscape designs great to hear this
Huh...so sounds like you had a similar reason for going vegan as I did when I was sick. You didn't finish telling your story though. How long did it take for you to get better and off the medication? I don't know...maybe you said it and I missed it?
Oh hey can you make a video featuring your dad's stew recipe? also can your mom do one on rice and beans?
thank you, I so love your videos.
We plan on doing the stew recipe
We the church family and See the small group tonight foods that Are go you will have the money for me you are not going to do is your last name was y you can do it on a great show you what we have in our prayers for me you are not you are doing well I like to be a talk the other one you have to do is to be a talk with her and the whole day off you want me you is you home yet baby
This story is fantastic. So glad you are doing better Craig. And your mom and dad are vegan too. Far out man!!! I really enjoy watching you and your family.
Thank you!
Coolest family ever.
“If it tastes good, spit it out”. 😂😂😂. Your mom is a crackup. The candid nature of your videos really makes it seem like we’re chatting with good friends. I really hope I can get to visit you all someday when I go to New York again. Unless you and the folks come down to Australia for a visit. I’d even cook vegan for you !! I can make a mean mock koala 😝😁
Yeah if you're ever in the Syracuse NY area definitely stop by, Rob!
I lived the 80/10/10 lifestyle for 3 full months and it was amazing, so much energy, felt the best I had ever felt. Watermelon for breakfast, tons of oranges, apples, peaches for lunch, and hue salads for dinner, just tons of varieties of fruits and veggies. But in month three I started breaking out along my jawline with intense painful cystic acne and it caused me to have a massive panic attack that something was wrong with what I was doing, so I went back to eating cooked vegan food, and the transition back was kinda hard because the portions seemed so small compared to eating raw. So I kinda developed a binge eating disorder for 6 months while transitioning back to cooked food and gained a lot of weight. I just ate way to much because my perception of portion size was way off from eating such large fruit meals. I'm much healthier now and my weight is back to 115, it got up to 152! I just eat whatever I want (vegan) now instead of limiting myself to raw, although, it was really awesome in the beginning and I had a lot of fun putting all my fruit stickers on my calender, haha. But yeah, just didn't work out for me, a lot of people chalked the acne up to "detoxing" but I think I know my body and there was definitely something wrong because I started feeling very lightheaded as well. Might have thrown my hormones out of balance cuz my period was starting to disappear and I started spotting here and there random times throughout the month, still don't know exactly what was happening. But yeah, that's my experience with the raw food lifestyle. Regular veganism is where my health is at it's best and I don't really want to ever experiment with my diet like that again cuz it was kinda scary and took me a while to recover from.
Also, I work at a popular vegan bakery called nami in phoenix, az and am a cake decorator, we make different seasonal candy too, like peanut butter bars/cups, "snickers", different barks, truffles, so I really fucking love your channel, haha.
I think a lot of people transitioning from raw to cooked have a similar story, I definitely gained a few pounds at first after incorporating cooked food. Not because of the cooked food though as much as like you said the portion size is vastly different and hard to get used to. But yeah I think a whole food plant based diet with cooked food is definitely healthier.
Haha that's so cool! Glad you found my channel!
If ya'll are ever in Phoenix for any reason make sure to check out nami! We have these things called "tsoynamis" which are a play on a Dairy Queens blizzard, and it's the dankest vegan icecream in da world, I swear. It's organic soy and coconut based and there are tons of mix-ins. We always have tons of different baked goods options, fresh friend donuts every morning, and also do a huge vegan brunch every sunday that people line up out the door for. Just sayin, it's definitely a spot to scope out if your a vegan family who happens to be on vacaton in Phoenix. Check out our instagram page @namivegansweets. Imma bout to go follow you guys right meow. :3
Murry Moon if I'm in the Phoenix area now I know where to stop! And I'll have to check it out on the gram as well!
I can so empathize with you Craig. Was on liver medications injections that cost about $10k for every week worth. Unfortunately eating vegan wouldn't cure my heath issues. But nonetheless, I'm very proud that you got off the meds.
So why do you think becoming vegan helped with your health problem? What made you think that becoming vegan might help cure you? I'm assuming you are no longer receiving treatment. Is that correct? Are you completely healed at this point?
I've have CIDP since I was 19. Also diagnosed with GBS at first, then to CIDP because it was recurrent.
But the hospital sued me because I couldn't afford IVIG anymore (I got REALLY behind on payments) It was also 7k a pop here..and I was doing it 3x a week.
Also plasmapheresis, cellcept and azathioprine.
I now take.... NOTHING. Yes nothing.. realised after years of pain, hospitals and debt- it's better to have CIDP and the symptoms it comes with, than all those "treatments" and pills.
I'm 32 now.. but CIDP is for life. I didn't come here to comment on the vegan stuff.. just nice to see a fellow CIDPer.
Well I wish you the best Teaf, if you ever need anything I'm here for you
I'm such a savoury person though. I cannot eat sweet things in the morning and that's also why even as a kid, I never liked candy. That would be the biggest adjustment for me on a fruit diet. But I do love vegetable dishes, so cooked meals and salads is not a problem.
Oh I'm all about sweet all the time haha
So excited to see this... Because me and my husband went Vegan in June... He has lost 65 so far and I have lost 54 ... And I make cakes and now your chocolate covered cherries for friends an family and my community ... And not tempted ... Glad to see other vegans that also make sweets
I live for my steak but I had to give you the thumbs up 👍🏽, do what you believe in , PS. Stay away from that DR. Market as much as you can , I should eat healthier too and am going to start cause I live for my salads too 😄
Thanks for the support Teddy!
Thank you for sharing this! Much like you in your journey, I was misdiagnosed... but I was misdiagnosed with having Peripheral Neuropathy when I really have and am now still recovering from Guillain-Barré Syndrome. Researching the diet change ‘treatments’ was incredibly eye-opening for me, I had no idea before of how diet choice affects our nervous systems. So glad to know you have found a way to get back to healthy even through your health struggles and pure awesomeness that your family is so incredibly supportive in joining you! 😃
I'm glad I could help Gilly, and I'm here if you need anything!
I think it's great that you were able to improve your health so dramatically through your diet. And what a blessing to have such a supportive family! I find dairy is my biggest issue. I have always hated milk and never cared for ice cream, but I did love yogurt and had a total cheese addiction. The yogurt was easy to give up, but cheese.....ARRGGHHH!!!
So Craig, I am 75 and have had CIDP for twenty five years . Needless to say, I am handicapped and cannot stand in one spot. I can manage to get around my house a little with the help of my walker. I have been in extreme pain for all of this time and am surprised you didn't mention your pain. I am allergic to pain meds so I get no relief from that area. Could you please make another short video about how your health has improved since you went vegan, and what you do to help ease your pain? I cannot tell you how happy I am for you that you have actually reco vered from C I D P. You have a strong willed and supportive family and that makes everything in life so much easier. PS, I am so in love with all of you, especially Karen. I thoroughly love all of your videos. It is now November, 2019, so hope all of you have a truly wonderful Christmas and New Year.
I actually never experienced constant pain, however before my recovery I was much much more sensitive to pain. Like if I were to stub my toe it would hurt a lot more than it used to and for a lot longer than it used to. I'm actually planning on making a video going more in depth about my experience with CIDP so make sure you stay subscribed for that! And thanks for watching both channels, that means a lot to me 😊
How fortunate you are. You have such a compassionate, caring and supportive family. Beautiful! Please adopt me? :D
haha we'll add you to the waiting list
Ya gotta be in it to win it. :P
Nice video Craig. Thanks so much for sharing your story. I actually went vegan almost 30 years ago and it was hard to find family support back then although my mom tried as hard as she could. So I was initially the only vegan in my family but, as of this writing, my mom has been vegan for about ten years and many other family members are vegan too. Anyway, congratulations on going vegan. I have been enjoying your videos. I hope that going vegan has helped your medical issues. It sounds as if it has, right?
You're mom is such a sweet and cool 😎 mom
Leaveme Alone she is
I live in Florida and during the summer you can get huge watermelons from the back of someone's pick up truck on the side of the road for $1 each, and they cut deals like 5 for $4
'The worst diet in the world - The Dukan Diet," I went on that diet once and it made me so sick. I would always be getting colds and flus, I went vegan on my own accord and I haven't been sick for 2 years.
She definitely feels better as a vegan!
I have been wondering about this! I’m glad the vegan diet has worked to get you off of the medication.
I'm glad it worked too haha
Yeah $7000 medication is BS. It is pretty cool that you improved everything with diet alone. Do you run like you used to?
I perused the website, do y'all have any vegan candies?
this summer we will be!
No Egg Craig definitely update us when you do! I'd love to support y'all!
No Egg Craig sounds interesting!!!
Yeah!!! Vegan candies!!!! I just adore the family!
Starting to go vegan and your channel is a big help to show what it's really like. And your parents are so precious
you mom !! how adorable. i'm so jealous your family went vegan
She's the best mom I've had yet!
Has the plant based diet helped you recover from CIPD?
Absolutely
This is the 1st time I hear of raw veganism. I was reading "A raw vegan diet excludes food cooked at a temperature above 48 °C", so this applies to for ex. boiled lentils, right?
Yes, although I'm not raw vegan anymore, just normal vegan now haha
I've been Vegan for 11 years I live in Winnipeg Manitoba canada. You guys are awesome I love all living things so I choose not to be friend and name my dinner!!!! Einstein is a genius!!! He will live on forever.
I have Primary Progressive MS and I was looking into my diet but my doctor said I couldn't do vegan or vegetarian because I also have A rare form of anemia. I have cut down my meat intake dramatically though. I have degenerative spine disease and severe arthritis in my knees so I own an electric wheelchair but I'm trying not to use it but it's getting difficult. It is nice you have support from your family, I wish I had that.
I was curious! Thanks for sharing everybody! 😃
It is awesome that your family is vegan. My favorite meal to make is pasta or rice, coconut oil, taco seasoning, garlic powder, and whatever kind of pepper you choose. Y'all should try making your own pasta sauce because the jars of sauce sold in stores are very wasteful and almost always watery. My dad makes the best paste sauce (with tomato paste as the base), and if he makes enough of it, the sauce can last over a month.
Im just here crying. So glad you found an answer to your illness and I’m so moved by your family’s support.
Enjoyed hearing the backstory about going vegan. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watcing!
Your family is amazing. Love your videos. I like your dad too he is just like my dad in law.He is a pilot and always working like your dad. Lots of love from England.
Thanks! He sounds like a great Dad
Lesson to be learned: doctors are neither perfect nor infallible. You are the one who is primarily responsible for your own health.
💯
You look great!.. family support is everything.. so glad you have such a strong bond with mum and dad .. at first I was much the same I couldn't pronounce my daughters condition it was just awful.. she suffers from I.I.H. idiopathic inter cranial hypertension, it's been a long slow progress however diet change was a must.. take each day as it comes ..thanks for sharing .. x😘
I just subscribed Craig and I liked your previous video of you and your Mom shopping 🛒 🛍 and your family trying out the food when you guys got home,I would like to try the Vanilla dip!!!! 😀😀😀😀
I’m a bit confused ? Never heard being a Vegan would cure some illness’? ? You could write a book !
Always thought it was a choice to not eat animals mostly because the way they are treated ..
I’ve definitely don’t eat nearly as much meat as I used too! But I still use eggs, cheese ! And use chicken broth in many things !
I would have though eating ALL that fruit in a day would have adverse effects on your system ! ?
I have chronic pain, Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis muscle pain I’m
also a Diabetic !!
I love my Pasta, any kind !! I make a lot of vegetable spaghetti sauce , you don’t miss the meat, but several use cheese !! Eggs! So I like dairy !
I have no thoughts of curing myself! But I do eat many more vegetables, I’ve tried many fake meat dishes, no taste ! I would rather eat a small cube of cheese rather than a chunk of fake stuff !!
I just do my best to eat healthy !! I fail some days but I keep going !! I would not miss meat, but I do like a small6oz sirloin steak and baked potatoes !
I like fish, is that a no no ! ? Love tuna and whitefish
Craig, you are fortunate to have a family that supports you , mine would think I had gone nuts ! I’m a prep-per in a small way ! Always have been ! Stock up canned goods, buy by the crate when prices are good ! water, dry goods like rice, sugar, flour assorted spices !!.... have a Hurricane, storm box !! With many lanterns! A small compressor ....live in the South East ! Had many bad storms here !
Not a big bread eater, was hard but I cut back drastically !! I used to make my own bread ! Nothing like homemade bread, garden fresh tomatoes , butter and chees fo a meal !! Cut back on salt we were never big on salted everything !!
I was eating out E V E R Y day. It gets old after a while. I got tired of it and started ordering “Hello Fresh” a few times a week and now I just cook from the recipes I’ve accumulated over time. Still eat out at least 3 to 4 times a week though. I am slowly changing my eating habits due to having an auto immune disorder of the thyroid. I also have a type of neuropathy as well. Every day is a struggle. This video is very informative and I’m grateful you chose to share your story.
I have MS. I also have been diagnosed with osteoporosis. I’m severely weak. I have problems getting to my car. I believe I will be in a wheelchair soon. I have had people come and grab me in parking lots because I was so weak I was hitting the ground. Lots of precious people in this world. I had a veggie burger once. It was absolutely delicious. Does anyone know how to make a veggie burger? Does anyone know where I can find a recipe?
Your mom mentioned a few books in this episode and I picked a couple of them up. Would you guys possibly be interested in talking about your favorite books, vegan related or otherwise?
We could do that, which ones did you pick up?
No Egg Craig The 80/10/10 Diet by Douglas Graham and My Beef with Meat by Rip Esselstyn.
Nice! Did you start one of them?
I finished my beef with meat and I'm working on 80/10/10. Ive read a few books on plant based diets, and they have all pushed the reason to go vegan as method of saving animals. Which is great, however that isn't why I went vegan.
It was nice that Esselstyn mostly touched on the health and science of eating vegan and provided loads of informative answers for those pesky questions that are asked of us. "Where do you get your iron and protein from?" "There is no calcium in your diet." 🙄
haha I know what you mean I get those questions on the daily. But if you're all about the science I would highly suggest How Not to Die by Dr. Michael Greger, Proteinaholic by Dr. Garth Davis is really good too
10 years ago i was in hospital with laryngitis which at that time i got chronically, problem was that my throat closed totally to the extent i couldnt breathe on my own. After a cortisone treatment and what not, one doctor came in and told me i was misdiagnosed, its not laryngitis, my throat and larynx was scarred, burned from acid reflux. Then he started treating me for that and after a barrage of tests found i am totally allergic to wheat, gluten is my enemy nr 1. I do have to take 1 capsule a day to nutralize stomach acid, but with a gluten free diet i do far prevented progressing to celiac disease. Shopping for totally glutenfree products in south africa is a pain and extremely expensive as it seen as a health fad not illness. So, its just cheaper to go with fresh veggies, whole spices and just intelligent shopping, i dont buy anything already prepared as msg/wheat products gets added to every and anything. Point being, eating smart to help your health is the best option
