I got diagnosed with diabetes in December so in January I went vegan for two weeks and completely diabetes disappeared from me and being sick with fatty liver for 17 years and on those two weeks cure completely my fatty liver! And I lost 10 pounds:)
I have been putting off going vegan for a year. I blamed covid lockdowns which of course is a big fat excuse. I have hyperthyroidism and vasculitis (blood vessel inflammation). This is about saving my life, no more excuses. 4th February 2021. I'm tired, I'm done. Time for change.
Watch Dominion you will never eat meat again - like you I was one foot in,but after seeing that I was done! Its not añ easy watch and grab a tissue, it will make you cry
@@jlee9951 I am at that point where I just know it's all horrible and watching Dominion will only ruin my week! I have seen about 15 minutes of random cruelty footage in tiny pieces all over the place and any 10 second segment tells me all I need to know. My wife is completely triggered if you even mention cows running down the road after their calves. Once you get it, you get it.
I had high BP for 15 years and could only walk for 30 mins without pain after 7 weeks vegan no meds and walk 2 hrs a day and train with weights 5 days a week ,62 years old and have never felt better and I feel like I am young again .Vegan is the way to go.
Joe Cross (Fat, sick and nearly dead) started my journey in cleaning up my diet, and Dr. McDougall took me to the next level of understanding WFPB no oils. I have been off arthritis medication for almost a year after being on pills for 4 years.
@@Connect_with_Yourself I use water to replace oils. Dr. Mcdougall's wife, Mary McDougall has a great youtube video of cooking with no oils. Also Dr. Esselstyn Jr's wife and kids have great RUclips videos on cooking with no oils. I found that as soon as I ditched the oils that inflammation breakouts occured less on plant based diet.
I’ve been vegan now 11 years. Except about an egg a month. I’m encouraged to clean that up. And with springtime here get on the trampoline for my lymph drainage and muscle tone. Thanks for the encouragement. My body. My responsibility.
After 27 years of suffering from lower back pain within 4 days of going vegan and following whole food plant based vegan diet my lower back pain disappeared. Can’t believe how much inflammation, problems aches and pains dairy products causes. I am vegetarian since birth but consumed dairy products. Definitely feel so much better and have more energy going vegan whole food plant based
@@kozarozmata6016 milk, cheese, ice cream yoghurt and cream. But stopped milk in January 2020 due to digestive issues and bloating then since January 2021 stopped all dairy and feeling so much better.
I am vegetarian since birth as well. Stopped milk for a couple years now. No cheese or ice cream.Only dairy I am consuming is Greek Yogurt. Hard to ditch it. But will do.
@@krantmin6095 try the oatly oatgurt that’s what I have. I ordered some vegan yoghurt starter and will make some vegan yoghurt from oat milk in my instant pot this week. Hopefully it’s turns out ok 🤞🏼 I tried it and didn’t work 😔 it didn’t set as a yoghurt So will try soya milk yoghurt next
Not just pain. I had PCOS. Went wholefood plant based after watching fat sick and nearly dead and reading how not to die by Dr greger. PCOS= gone in 3 weeks
Thats great I have endometriosis and cyst on my left ovary had a operation in 2016 but I can feel pain again and I know it’s back so hopefully this whole food plant based diet will help 🤞🏼
I was vegan one month lost 10 Ib I really missed I did keto 6 month not for me I blame all my organ issues. Gallbladder, ovarian cyst and liver/kidney scar going back to vegan in the spring summer
@@Pattys1967 Polycystic ovarian symdrom. It means you have cysts on the ovary, it disturb the hormons, somtimes it is difficult to get pregant, and make some people fat.
well i don’t know what’s happening with my body bcuz now i suddenly can’t heal and having all kinds of systemic problems that seem to just be switched on. literally was fine one day and the next this nightmare began. seems my body is slowly shutting down. was already on a mostly plant based diet. no red meat pork or dairy in 9-10 yrs. juices and smoothies every other day. only ate chicken and fish one or twice a week. some chips here and there. even did fasting on the weekends. it feels like i was exposed to something that triggered this. inflammation in every single part of my body. muscles, joints, connective tissue organs head and now im losing weight/muscle. almost 25 lbs in 4.5 months and still going down. also having muscle weakness along with the pain. i think something is very off in my spine and brain but mris and ct scans seem normal according to the docs. ive been dealing with back pain on and off for a long time. also in the T10-T12 area and C2-C5 area. all they say is mild degeneration. the pain in my head neck arms and hands is unbearable even in my stomach and liver area. constantly burns!😩😩😩
It's interesting how doctors have been so programmed to just give out medication rather than treat the root cause. I love how the doctor said the medication that women was taking was working well and then she said that she wasn't taking any. Just wow.
Prof Dean Ornish has a slide in his presentation which shows a faucet flowing into a sink and water overflowing onto the floor. There are a load of doctors mopping up the floor. His comment is "This is modern medicine, has anyone thought to turn off the tap ?". In Engineering we call this Root Cause analysis. Always fix a problem at the root cause. In our case, food!!
@@ritahall2378 Actually you shouldn't single out Women. Everyone is a victim of big pharma. Women just live longer hence you see them in homes as a larger percentage.
not necessarily programmed. they get paid big bucks to push drugs. i asked a doctor did u spend 8 yrs in med school just to be a drug dealer? ... she got pissed but cldnt answer me. they don’t want to spend the time to figure it out. the more ppl they have under their prescription payroll the more money they make!
My daughter at 8 was on 3 neurological meds for migraines / seizures and the neuro wanted her to take a 4th. I tried a chiro-one adjustment and she was cured
Don't let the running put you off. Walking is great and the more whole food plant based you go without oil, salt and sugar the more you'll want to walk.
@@skippy6462 I eat Avocados, Flax seeds and salt also chia seeds every day feeling great don’t need a doctor or nutritionist just listening to my body and Mother Nature but thank you for the advice
To the crew that our this together... thank you! My father [78] has had a severe bout with gout, and we know what causes that. I've never seen my dad cry from pain... but he did... and I've been really trying to give him to really reconsider his diet... this is a real "kid gloves" way of me to show him to see what change really does.
My son had gout in his knees, shoulders, etc. and it was keeping him up at night. He got off the beef and cut back on his cheese, and his pain went away.
Don’t put that on yourself.. corporations sold people cigarettes for a century and spent millions on disinformation and bad science, propaganda and legal chicanery. The likes of McDonald’s sell people the lowest price parts of cattle, ground up & with deliberately added addictive oils and sugars in the supplementary fries & drinks. Be happy that you are wiser now, and can see past the massed forces and propaganda of such powerful organisations. ❤️
Ok, I think this needs some context. Yes a poor diet full of inflammatory chemicals will probably make chronic pain worse but chronic pain is mainly a disorder of the whole brain/nerve system. I had severe chronic pain for over 3 years after 3 spinal surgeries. It took me about a year to get over it - most/enough of it anyway. But my road to recovery started before I was vegan. I was vegetarian at the time. When you are in chronic pain, it usually seems like it will be with you forever. For me, that was incredibly depressing. Which is actually a big part of the problem. I was coaxed out of my chronic pain after an experienced physio explained, and convinced me, that my pain was not coming from my surgery but from a dysfunctional nervous system (including my brain) which had just learned to inflict pain on me pretty much all the time and for no real reason. But what you learn, you can unlearn. And that's what I started doing from that point on. I read an excellent book I was recommended - Explain Pain - twice and that was also really therapeutic. If anyone is out there suffering from chronic pain that they cannot control, I can tell you that is is possible and I am one person who did. If you think my experience could be valuable to you, please let me know. I would love to be able to help others cut short what I went through for what seemed like an eternity.
@@carolinaroseakira I am trying to respond here but this channel is moderating out my comments. Just to be sure I can help, what is your situation. Have you had spinal problems like me? Do you have access to physio and other healthcare?
I have been WFPBnoSOS for years and although I lost 60 lbs I have developed chronic nerve pain. I really think they should stop blaming the person as if we have total and complete control over every disease that occurs to us. It is shaming the person. When you look at statistics about reduction of various diseases from this way of eating it is not 100%.
Me too, I was missing essential fatty acids from fish and good oils. Our brain and nerves require these. I take them now and eat fish and olive oil, and most nerve and joints are doing much better. I think cutting/greatly reducing dairy is huge. Whenever I go back for a bit I flare up.
Went vegan since last month and the symptoms of Adenomyosis has decreased drastically I used to live on pain killers cos even after my menses I feel pain, it got to a point that I got used to it. After my last menses no pain at all, it still amazes me Nature truly heals🙌
34 days after switching in 2016 I went off the bipolar medication that I had been on for years. I had also been suffering with chronic pain and opioid addiction. I was 220lbs and have lost 80lbs and kept it off for 4.5 years. This works.
@@mariem.6042 I drink fresh made juice every morning. I eat fruit, fresh veggies, raw nuts and dates as I want throughout the day (I do not limit myself but eat until my body says stop.) Sometimes a smoothie in the afternoon. A salad every day with lots of greens and then usually a cooked meal of brown rice noodles, tofu, a casserole, or something that resembles a real meal. I do intermittent fasting and wait before juicing in the morning. I recommend a slow change over where you replace one meal a day for a week and then two meals a day and then 3. If you go overnight change you can detox and hurt your body. We struggled with detox symptoms for a good 3-6 months. Often people think its not working because of the detox symptoms but I promise you it does. 4.5 years and going stronger than ever. Eating a balanced diet without added refined sugars is the most important thing(maple is my favorite sweetener replacement). Also limit your intake of processed foods and chemicals but again slow and steady change 💜💜💜
@@tonymaurice4157 have not taken pain medicine like motrin or Tylenol or opioids since 2016. I factured a vertebrae at 22 years old and have 5 herniated disks. 38 years old now and never felt better
I’m so glad they included the information on chiropractic care. Because I visit my chiropractor regularly I have not had to go to an allopath for decades.
Since changing to a plant based diet my body has healed and become pain free, I had joint inflammation and I felt like I was getting old fast. My weight has stabilised, muscle builds/maintains easily and body fat decreases effortlessly. If I exercise strenuously I am tired but never sore the next day. I have continued to give away, over the last 14 years, the consumption of what I consider poison which include processed foods, nitrate and sulphite are destructive; processed sugar; gluten; all grains including rice. Just to be clear absolutely no animal products. My diet consists of vegetables, fruit, legumes, seeds. Oils (coconut and olive oil pretty much exclusively) especially starchy veg like potatoes, peas(legumes) and others, so a typical days diet is fresh coffee (seed) cashew milk - home made (seed) home made bread (seeds, fibre, potatoes, oil) peanut butter (legume), tahini(seed), home made vegan butter (oils, fibre, potato), avocado, nuts( almonds, pecans), potatoes (baked), MCT oil, on the rare occasion I want sweetener I use stevia or maple syrup. I hope this information helps navigate the maze of misinformation that stands between you and a healthier life.
I had developed some serious problems with my feet and ankles. Pain and swelling caused me to limp constantly for about three years. I am not an athlete, and physical straining was not the problem. But I am overweight. I went on the whole food (no oil, no sugar (no honey), no refined foods, no meat or fish. About two months into it, or even less, I realized my pain and swelling were gone from my feet. I hadn't even noticed that I wasn't limping anymore. I had bought a couple of dozen different kinds of shoes, slippers, flip flops, etc. to accommodate my feet, but nothing worked. I did not stay with the diet, for no reason, but my pain and swelling have not returned. I have painful wrists though, and they also had cleared up. I am now getting back to the whole foods program, and am starting back to cutting out meat and chicken. I think the reason I gave up the diet was because I felt I was lacking some nutrients. So I may modify it a bit and keep fish and eggs in my diet to see how it goes. But mainly I now eat whole starches, whole vegetables, whole grains and whole fruits. Because of how our produce is grown, I think we do find mineral/vitamin depletion if we give up animal products. We need to stay aware of how we feel.
“Going Vegan” is not a destination. It’s a label. All we ever have to do is be aware of our needs at any given moment. What I eat reflects my state of mind so as long as I am mindful about the effect certain foods have on my entire being I can take steps to change it. Health is a journey and looks different for everyone.
Over 500k people registered to veganuary last month. Next year will be a even bigger number. I'm ready to see animal agriculture collapse and disappear forever. 🙏🏿🙏🏿
When I quit dairy I cured myself of the auto immune disorder that almost made me take my life. I couldn't believe how blind I was to diet and the consequences of putting unhealthy things in my body. I almost killed myself because of pain simply because I was addicted to cheese.... It sounds so pathetic now that I reflect on this message.
Chronic pain can be a killer. It puts you in such a terrible place mentally. I could never have believed how depressed I got when I was suffering from severe chronic pain. I wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy. I just wish people, and doctors, understood more about the connection between negative mental states and chronic pain. It was the key in my case. A great physio and a book called Explain Pain saved my life.
If its anything like their handling of the pandemic then I'll not hold my breath. It takes time for the government to work out how to make millions and billions for their mates.
@@sternleiche Meat and dairy production are among the top causes of GHG emissions. Between burning down forests to make grazing/animal feed , the massive numbers of huge machinery that harvests hundreds of millions of acres of soy/corn/hay, then transporting it all over the country and the world and the methane from belching, farting animals and then the waste/pollution/using of the majority of our drinking water, meat/dairy is the worst product for the environment. It wastes more land for fewer protein calories, than any plants. One acre will produce 92 lbs of beef and 1292 pounds of lentils (USDA numbers). And one beef burger uses 2100 litres of fresh drinking water, compared to 160 litres to produce a 'Beyond Meat burger'. Livestock is a terrible problem for the environment.
@@ddhqj2023 yes the conventional food production is very flawed and we have a massive overpopulation problem, without it we can produce any form of food completely organic straight out of nature. minimalism/moderation is the way to change things but we are omnivores and it is the healthiest form of eating for us. veganism and all the new diet ideas are just new ways to make profit and to keep the overpoplulation alive so mankind can be exploited even more. cars emit more dangerous fumes than animals. problematic for the environment is not only the car usage it is first and foremost the production and eventual recycling. so it should only be used when absolutely necessary and not a thing to have just out of convenience.
@@sternleiche I don't agree at all about us being omnivores. Between 6-5 million years ago, the first 'humans' appeared on the scene. Archeological evidence shows that we began eating meat about 2.5 million years ago. Which means we evolved eating and getting all our nutrients from plants. And that evolution is described perfectly in the way our teeth are shaped, the kind of digestive acids our bodies make and the organization of our entire digestive system. As far as your foray into 'environmental' commentary, in the USA, 600 million acres of land is used exclusively to grow feed for and to graze the billions of land animals raised and killed each year in the States. Think of the huge numbers of fossil fuel burning heavy equipment that harvests those acres. (Just as a contrast, all the fruit, veggies, lentils, nuts, beans, etc.) that is directly eaten by people, only requires about 3 million acres. And those figures by the way, are from a Wetlands protection group (no vegan affiliation). Add in the millions of big rigs that haul both live and dead animals all over the country, the fossil fuels burned to keep power on in millions of slaughterhouses and coolers to both move the animal feed and the meat and dairy....and then factor in the effects of deforestation (think Brazil's terrible fires....) to open up new grazing, new soy and corn for feed fields.........and finally include the methane that comes from hundreds of millions of sheep, cattle and goats and pigs as they eat and live.....Food animal production produces more GHG emissions that all the cars and trucks on the road according to experts who've researched all these factors. Veganism is getting back to the diet that we evolved to eat and which will go a long way towards mitigating the destruction of our environment. And considering how drastically inefficient animal products are when it comes to land and water use, if the world went vegan, we could easily feed everyone on the planet and at the same time, allow great tracts of land to reforest for the sake of our wild neighbours. And we'd also be ahead in protecting coral reefs and oceans and ocean animals from the destruction that fishing boats do even so far as how they have bycatch, scrape the life out of the bottoms of oceans, dump old nets and crap that kill thousands of seals, birds and whales. If we love this amazing planet we live on, if we love our children and their future children and grandchildren, if we love animals, than veganism is the only way to live. For the sake of the animals, the environment and your own health.
I had been a vegetarian for 8 years. Damaged my digestive system so bed that it’s taking me 5 years to fix it. No one I know who is vegetarian is healthy! Meat and fat are essential for health.
In 1850 average person ate cup and half sugar in a year. Nowadays people consume the same amount in a week. Sugar will destroy your nerves and muscles . Wow chronic pain. We are dieing slow painful death
But in the "olden days" people ate pure maple syrup from maple trees, honey from the hives and molasses. They boiled down their fruits to make sweet jams, jellies and syrups, and also ate syrups from barley. None of these were sugar per se, but they still had an effect on obesity and tooth decay, as you can see from the artwork of that time as well as literature depicting fat people.
Don’t necessarily have to go vegan, but eat nutritious food. I had hurt my back while exercising. But I was eating crap food. Then one night I made quinoa stir fry and healthy oatmeal cookies/granola bars. I got a good rest and most of my back pain was gone. Really showed me how important food is for healing and recovery.
This is what the Yogis have been saying from eons ago. I m glad the WEST is finally accepting it. May we all live healthly & harmoniously with one another & our environment. AUM.
Became a vegan for 2 years now. The pain in all joints got better. Then year 2020 hit, and my depression became more so severe; I had cried all most every day. All the pain came back. Vegan food does not completely change get rid of the pain. Vegan food and healthy mind will get us rid off those pain. Now I focus on meditation. Has any body out there has the same problem like me? I have PTSD for more than 35 years.
I feel pain from injuries. Falling on ice. Fell roller blading. Carried heavy bags. Etc... I also have had rejection. Now I will try to focus more on healing my feelings. Thank you.
I also have PTSD and psoriosis and psoriosis induced COPD. Our health can be affected by a number of stressers we eat a healthy diet as a processed diet caused extra stress and inflamation in the diet. Ive been vegan 21 years vegetarian for 6 years before that. Im 35 years of age and stress impacts my health. I go on occasional monthly detoxes just eating greens and limiting most else. Stress of being in isolation will be a part of it. My faith in God also helps me immensly. Find a purpose in life and many worries will melt away
Just to put a downer on this - I have seen many chiropractors many times and gone plant based for 6 months and I’m in the same if not worse pain than before
If we don’t stop treating animals like crops and keep cramming them together, this COVID is just the beginning and we’re not handling it very well. That should tell us something.
So many pandemics have been caused because of our lack of respect for other life that is not human. We refuse to learn until something worse than COVID happens to us.
Look, I agree that we should stop treating animals like crops... however COVID was engineered and is literally proven. We need to stop promoting COVID as an animal market source, it doesn’t do our cause good
@I invented Google dude, the strain of COVID virus was artificially created, it’s a man made Frankenstein virus. There’s obviously a devious plan for whoever created it and people like you and I can only guess why.
What vegetables give the body protein? I heard nuts have protein how much of them must one eat to get enough for the body. My mother ate meat and vegetables and lived to be 99yrs old was only in the hospital to have babies also her sister lived to be 95 . My mother said moderation of food is important and how its prepared or made and cooked is Key .There is nothing wrong with a little meat sometime as long as you don't eat it all the time and prepared healthy and fasting . Fasting is a must in my opinion
Just started 95% plant-based 10 days ago, with exception of eggs 2-3 x week and small amount of antiobotic free turkey (only because im prone to anemia)... last 2 days my hips and knees are throbbing. I'm seriously injured post c-19 jab, autoimmune, cardiovascular, amd my body isnt absorbing nutrients according to live blood analysis. Im also not breaking down protein. I had lots of uric acid in my blood so im avoiding foods high in purine. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED. Im eating mainly organic lightly cooked vegetables, salad is typical stuff, but toss a few sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds in it. Aslo small amt of organic Walnuts. I eat melon, blueberry, chia, almond milk, no dairy, no sugar, no processed foor, no wheat, (glten), no grains as my body reacts to all. ANY SUGGESTION WOULD BE SO APPRECIATED, OR A meal plan. I take vit B, C, multivitamin What the best way to eat enough protien, my muscles are wasting so bad. Tyvvm! ❤
read 'eating on the wild side' by nina etkin uni of arizona - anthropologist - she explains fodd and medicine - can't separate them anthropologically - eat seasonal and what is right for your environment and what is right for your recent ancestral background - you can put anything in your mouth but does it suite you - you and the environment - why do people not see the link between where you live and what you eat - example - many people eat hot chilli food during the winter in the uk - the effect of hot chilli kinds of food is that the purpose is to take the heat of your core to the outside to cool you off - cos that is where chilli type foods come from hot places - india for instance - so eating that type of food in a cold country is asking for trouble
I’ve been vegan 7 years......will continue to do so. I have so much chronic pain still and so many headaches. Can someone please help me. I think I’ve fallen through the cracks when it comes to doctors. Please.
I experimented with keto and carnivore for 4 months a year ago and my mental health and physical health improved greatly!. I cured my fatty liver , lowered my ldl and triglycerides. My family doctor was shocked . I had to go off of it due to having difficulty absorbing fats with no gallbladder .
The only time my chronic back pain disappeared was after going zero carb. Transitioning from a plant based diet to carnivore was one of the most difficult things I have ever done, however my health has never been better.
I am a radiation therapist and have major concerns about Gerson therapy for treatment of cancer. I believe diet can help prevent disease, but I have seen so many people with curable cancers try to cure their cancer with gerson therapy and come to us too late to help them. The consequences are usually fungating tumours or metastases that cannot be cured. Please please please don't try to cure your cancer like this? I know I'm going to get attacked for this but I've seen so much heartache, don't let me see more?
3 months ago you, felt sure that you would be attacked for making your statements. For a while, it looked like no attack was forthcoming, but now your time is up.... WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH GERSON THERAPY ANYWAY? SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A RADIATION THERAPIST? I'LL BET YOU ACTUALLY WORK FOR THE CIA OR THE DEEP STATE OR SOMETHING!! Ok, that's it.... have a nice day
I still read about how good eggs and fish are for omega 3. I bought some high DHA/EPA capsules. I bought small atlantic fatty wild fish said to be the best. I still ache. My lower back still aches. We must not need omega 3 at all. Wow, this is how much some people don't know. Are they just pushing omega 3 to sell their products? I have also heard that omega 3 can be found in lots of vegetables. Since fish is acidic and eggs are dairy, then I will have to search for the most omega 3 in vegetables.
Eggs aren't really dairy, they're in the protein family. But you could have a sensitivity to them. And ya we do need omega 3s. You need to watch though, because diet (especially american-style) has a super-high amount of omega 6, and it can be tricky but they need to be more balanced. I have read that omega 3s from plant sources like flaxseed oil aren't as easily absorbed as animal-based, so you may need to take more, or for longer? Idk, I just know I've read that. You may personally be sensitive to some of the compounds in vegetables, so your pain isn't decreasing. There are people that are just really sensitive to these, and they therefore have to live on a primarily meat diet (or else live with chronic, even debilitating pain and conditions). Maybe you need to try an elimination diet, see if you pick up any sensitivities.
@@chrisinreallife2022 I have been doing an elimination diet for a while. I have been watching different videos like 'What the Health" and "Genetic Roulette" and many others. Not eating meat at all including fish and eggs seems to be the way to go. I need to drop the eggs because they are full of so much fat. I have been hearing that fat is what is causing diabetes, not sugar. It is a slow process. Add to that is what I have been hearing about the glyphosate that may be on organic foods. Glyphosate is flying through the air landing on everything. Plus I saw a video on vertical gardening. One person said that organic foods are being sprayed with glyphosate anyway. The whole aching thing could be caused by glyphosate. Plus the balance of omega 3 to 6 is tricky. Thanks Chris for caring.
@@pureenergy4578 Eating fat does not cause diabetes. I've known people who have reversed prediabetes and type 2 by going on a very low-carb, fat-heavy diet. It's really just all the highly processed crap that does it I think. All the hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, and transfats. When you mix fats, especially those kind, with a high-processed carb-heavy diet it causes all sorts of hormonal imbalances and inflammatory responses. I don't advocate for vegan over keto, or vice versa. I think it is certainly individual for everyone. Both diets work wonders when done CORRECTLY. And that means eating natural, whole foods. Eating til full, not stuffed. And doing some type of activity you like. Finding healthier substitutes for 'treats' you like. The reason they BOTH work very well when done right, in my opinion, is because they essentially eliminate all of the mass-produced, factory-made food items, snacks, and junk food/fast food. If everyone just cut back a lot on that, they'd be healthier. That being said, I do think people should focus on eating whole foods, mostly plant-based, eat some small meat sometimes if you like, eliminate cow's milk and most (if not all) dairy and stick to veg substitutes, and beware of a lot of added sugar and avoid drinking your calories. Best of luck to you and it's great that you are finding what suits you best. (Oh and I also have to say, you can also sub many animal meat items with veggie versions too as there are so many tasty ones these days, or make your own!)
@@chrisinreallife2022 Just as sure as you say fat does not cause diabetes, I have found many doctors that say it does, like in the video WHAT THE HEALTH. I have found videos that say eating meat is the best thing to do of all. Everybody has got an opinion. I think that eating sugar and salt right now is the worst thing I can do because I have noticed intense swelling when I eat just a tiny bit. I no longer want to go out walking, so sitting a lot is making these sugars and salts toxic to me. Have you seen the videos that say sugar is toxic? I used to dance and ride a mountain bike and garden all the time while eating all the sugar and crap I wanted with no ill effects. So I know what the problem is. I have read that all foods are carbohydrates/sugars because that is the end product. Then there is the acidic issue. We are alkaline beings that should stay above 7 PH. Meats/sugars are very acidic. Seeds/nut/beans are very acidic until they are soaked/sprouted. I just learned this this past summer. A lot of my aching stopped when I stopped with the acidic foods. But then I forget and want nuts that are not soaked and I can feel the acidity in me again. I am having issues with forgetting.
I have Chronic Lyme Disease and honestly if I had my old diet of processed food and McChickens, I don't know how I would be doing now. I'd be way worse that's all I know. I definitely thank plants to helping me heal.
everyone is growing grass yet they live in an environment that is full of sunshine and warmth / I live in an environment that is freezing from November till June so fresh raw foods must be brought in with trucks I can't even grow lettuces inside my house in front of a window therefor all cookbooks coming out of California and the southern states is of no help I am resigned to canned foods and grains / I can not eat dairy products and onions and garlic which is everyones favorites I have to buy foods brought in by semi trucks which have no taste / now with covid going to a grocery store is not easy
I’m adapting to a plant based diet and I do believe it’s the best way to eat. I have two friends that are vegan, one of them has been vegan for 20 years and have constant problems with her sensitivity for skin an hair products and the other one has since turned vegan 4 years ago gained 30 pounds in weight and struggles with depression. My point is that a vegan diet isn’t a miracle cure for all problems.
I've been vegan 15 years, there's a lot of woo in this video, how does that help animals? There's a lot of woo in the comments, too. Is anyone else actually a vegan doctor and research scientist? If not, well, I understand how you don't realise it's woo.
As much as I like the video I cringe everything someone says „we have been designed“. It is grammatically sound but for people who then quote science for everything else it feel like an oxymoron.
cooking really benefits the bioavailability of food and is the reason why human brains are so developed- cooking bulbs and tubers grew our brains to the size they are today. there isn't enough research on raw foodism and it is incredibly difficult to get enough calories for maintain health- I really would not recommend unless you are in serious need of inflammation reduction. at the very least, use "raw vegan" as a detox period for a short period of time then reintroduce cooked grains slowly afterwards. you're doing great where you are now and perhaps it would be best to do 80-90% raw instead of fully raw if you want the benefits.
Vegetarian & later on vegan for over 22 years. I Still am at heart. I have juiced enough to fill a pool. But autoimmune issues never got any better. Tried EVERY thing...Then I was tested by a func med friend and found my oxalates level was very high. What is oxalates?? And other issues stemming from this! If this is anyone else’s experience then look into oxalates. I was also pointed too, to Sally K Norton. Google-🤗
Have you stopped lugumes, cereals and nightshade vegetables for several months. Combine this with vitamin D, tumeric and probiotic supplimentation. I have been vegan 21 years vegetarian 6 years before that. I have COPD caused by psoriosis now getting psoratic arthritis all stress induced due to years of protecting kids from sexual abuse and being hypervigilent with PTSD. My faith in God also helps
How can one who have GI issues possible yeast or bacteria start this way of eating if there fruits are a necessity. Also what happens if you have allergies to nuts?
I have been plant base since 4 months now ! I have notied incredible positiv changes in my skin my mood my digestion , my overall energy. but the only thing that I dont see any positiv yet are the joint pain and my articulation flexibility ! could it be possibile that it needs more and more time for these positiv change to appear ?
You cannot "Change your Ph level".... I've been eating vegan for 5 months now and love it... I also love factual information.... if you changed this, you literally would die. As a doctor, this man should know this.... cmon people.
Its not about blood acidity, its about chronic acidosis and what your body compensates for homeostasis. Look up the dialysis literature and apply to everyone. Our kidneys are being neglected even in the wfpb community.
I have not eaten meat since 1983 when I went to college in Oz and couldn't handle the gamey meat. I would have loved this video except I have done every single thing here but still ended up with tons of arthritis and now fibromyalgia. I wish things were this simple
Ate plant based for a year in hopes of lessening my pain & inflammation. Didn't do a thing for me. Two months of an elimination WOE, zero carbs, no dairy now and will see how that goes.
Possibly, but they actually make vegan yogurts that are really delicious. So you don't have to miss out. I found a couple when I did a 30 day vegan challenge and still like them better than regular yogurt actually. In fact, there's a few vegan things that our household (other members also definitely not vegetarian/vegan) prefers over the non-vegan ones. Like Vegenaise. Best mayo sub ever, better than real mayo. Oat or cashew milk. Coconut milk yogurt. And the coconut, or oat milk, or cashew milk ice creams. The best!
I got diagnosed with diabetes in December so in January I went vegan for two weeks and completely diabetes disappeared from me and being sick with fatty liver for 17 years and on those two weeks cure completely my fatty liver! And I lost 10 pounds:)
I have been putting off going vegan for a year. I blamed covid lockdowns which of course is a big fat excuse. I have hyperthyroidism and vasculitis (blood vessel inflammation). This is about saving my life, no more excuses. 4th February 2021. I'm tired, I'm done. Time for change.
Watch Dominion you will never eat meat again - like you I was one foot in,but after seeing that I was done! Its not añ easy watch and grab a tissue, it will make you cry

Joe Cross (Fat, sick and nearly dead) started my journey in cleaning up my diet, and Dr. McDougall took me to the next level of understanding WFPB no oils. I have been off arthritis medication for almost a year after being on pills for 4 years.
So, if you used no oils what's substitutes do you use for cooking? I'm on plant-based diet but I used olive oil
@@Connect_with_Yourself I use water to replace oils. Dr. Mcdougall's wife, Mary McDougall has a great youtube video of cooking with no oils. Also Dr. Esselstyn Jr's wife and kids have great RUclips videos on cooking with no oils.
I found that as soon as I ditched the oils that inflammation breakouts occured less on plant based diet.
That's so awesome, Tilly! I loved that movie!
@@Connect_with_Yourself You can substitute vegetable broth.

well i don’t know what’s happening with my body bcuz now i suddenly can’t heal and having all kinds of systemic problems that seem to just be switched on. literally was fine one day and the next this nightmare began. seems my body is slowly shutting down. was already on a mostly plant based diet. no red meat pork or dairy in 9-10 yrs. juices and smoothies every other day. only ate chicken and fish one or twice a week. some chips here and there. even did fasting on the weekends. it feels like i was exposed to something that triggered this. inflammation in every single part of my body. muscles, joints, connective tissue organs head and now im losing weight/muscle. almost 25 lbs in 4.5 months and still going down. also having muscle weakness along with the pain. i think something is very off in my spine and brain but mris and ct scans seem normal according to the docs. ive been dealing with back pain on and off for a long time. also in the T10-T12 area and C2-C5 area. all they say is mild degeneration. the pain in my head neck arms and hands is unbearable even in my stomach and liver area. constantly burns!😩😩😩
Amen to that. God's design. Isn't He wonderful!

It's interesting how doctors have been so programmed to just give out medication rather than treat the root cause. I love how the doctor said the medication that women was taking was working well and then she said that she wasn't taking any. Just wow.
Prof Dean Ornish has a slide in his presentation which shows a faucet flowing into a sink and water overflowing onto the floor. There are a load of doctors mopping up the floor. His comment is "This is modern medicine, has anyone thought to turn off the tap ?". In Engineering we call this Root Cause analysis. Always fix a problem at the root cause. In our case, food!!
Women in my opinion are the biggest victims of doctors and big pharma Just look at nursing homes
Drs tried to get people to eat better, but most would rather take a pill.
@@ritahall2378 Actually you shouldn't single out Women. Everyone is a victim of big pharma. Women just live longer hence you see them in homes as a larger percentage.
not necessarily programmed. they get paid big bucks to push drugs. i asked a doctor did u spend 8 yrs in med school just to be a drug dealer? ... she got pissed but cldnt answer me. they don’t want to spend the time to figure it out. the more ppl they have under their prescription payroll the more money they make!
My daughter at 8 was on 3 neurological meds for migraines / seizures and the neuro wanted her to take a 4th. I tried a chiro-one adjustment and she was cured

To the crew that our this together... thank you! My father [78] has had a severe bout with gout, and we know what causes that. I've never seen my dad cry from pain... but he did... and I've been really trying to give him to really reconsider his diet... this is a real "kid gloves" way of me to show him to see what change really does.
My son had gout in his knees, shoulders, etc. and it was keeping him up at night. He got off the beef and cut back on his cheese, and his pain went away.
The hardest thing is knowing that I made myself sick
Don’t put that on yourself.. corporations sold people cigarettes for a century and spent millions on disinformation and bad science, propaganda and legal chicanery.
The likes of McDonald’s sell people the lowest price parts of cattle, ground up & with deliberately added addictive oils and sugars in the supplementary fries & drinks.

Ok, I think this needs some context.
Yes a poor diet full of inflammatory chemicals will probably make chronic pain worse but chronic pain is mainly a disorder of the whole brain/nerve system.
I had severe chronic pain for over 3 years after 3 spinal surgeries. It took me about a year to get over it - most/enough of it anyway. But my road to recovery started before I was vegan. I was vegetarian at the time.
When you are in chronic pain, it usually seems like it will be with you forever. For me, that was incredibly depressing. Which is actually a big part of the problem.
I was coaxed out of my chronic pain after an experienced physio explained, and convinced me, that my pain was not coming from my surgery but from a dysfunctional nervous system (including my brain) which had just learned to inflict pain on me pretty much all the time and for no real reason.
But what you learn, you can unlearn. And that's what I started doing from that point on.
I read an excellent book I was recommended - Explain Pain - twice and that was also really therapeutic.
If anyone is out there suffering from chronic pain that they cannot control, I can tell you that is is possible and I am one person who did. If you think my experience could be valuable to you, please let me know. I would love to be able to help others cut short what I went through for what seemed like an eternity.
please teach me!

I have been WFPBnoSOS for years and although I lost 60 lbs I have developed chronic nerve pain. I really think they should stop blaming the person as if we have total and complete control over every disease that occurs to us. It is shaming the person. When you look at statistics about reduction of various diseases from this way of eating it is not 100%.
B12?
True. A plant based diet is not a cure-all.
Me too, I was missing essential fatty acids from fish and good oils. Our brain and nerves require these. I take them now and eat fish and olive oil, and most nerve and joints are doing much better. I think cutting/greatly reducing dairy is huge. Whenever I go back for a bit I flare up.

34 days after switching in 2016 I went off the bipolar medication that I had been on for years. I had also been suffering with chronic pain and opioid addiction. I was 220lbs and have lost 80lbs and kept it off for 4.5 years. This works.
What exactly did you do? What do you eat now? Only veggies and fruit or also grains and legumes? Any oil? Thank you
@@mariem.6042 I drink fresh made juice every morning. I eat fruit, fresh veggies, raw nuts and dates as I want throughout the day (I do not limit myself but eat until my body says stop.) Sometimes a smoothie in the afternoon. A salad every day with lots of greens and then usually a cooked meal of brown rice noodles, tofu, a casserole, or something that resembles a real meal. I do intermittent fasting and wait before juicing in the morning.
I recommend a slow change over where you replace one meal a day for a week and then two meals a day and then 3. If you go overnight change you can detox and hurt your body. We struggled with detox symptoms for a good 3-6 months. Often people think its not working because of the detox symptoms but I promise you it does. 4.5 years and going stronger than ever.
Eating a balanced diet without added refined sugars is the most important thing(maple is my favorite sweetener replacement). Also limit your intake of processed foods and chemicals but again slow and steady change 💜💜💜
Pain free?

I’m so glad they included the information on chiropractic care. Because I visit my chiropractor regularly I have not had to go to an allopath for decades.
We are what we digest! That's what most people don't know.
Most people don’t know that we can’t digest most plants
Since changing to a plant based diet my body has healed and become pain free, I had joint inflammation and I felt like I was getting old fast. My weight has stabilised, muscle builds/maintains easily and body fat decreases effortlessly. If I exercise strenuously I am tired but never sore the next day. I have continued to give away, over the last 14 years, the consumption of what I consider poison which include processed foods, nitrate and sulphite are destructive; processed sugar; gluten; all grains including rice. Just to be clear absolutely no animal products. My diet consists of vegetables, fruit, legumes, seeds. Oils (coconut and olive oil pretty much exclusively) especially starchy veg like potatoes, peas(legumes) and others, so a typical days diet is fresh coffee (seed) cashew milk - home made (seed) home made bread (seeds, fibre, potatoes, oil) peanut butter (legume), tahini(seed), home made vegan butter (oils, fibre, potato), avocado, nuts( almonds, pecans), potatoes (baked), MCT oil, on the rare occasion I want sweetener I use stevia or maple syrup. I hope this information helps navigate the maze of misinformation that stands between you and a healthier life.
Thank- you so much! 💕
Sounds like you eat healthier than most vegans. At least you have some fat in your diet and that’s good! 👍
Thanks
Yes fantastic diet you have,,I get tired just reading it...only kidding -must have taken you years to get to where you are...thanks
How long did it take to be pain free?
I had developed some serious problems with my feet and ankles. Pain and swelling caused me to limp constantly for about three years. I am not an athlete, and physical straining was not the problem. But I am overweight. I went on the whole food (no oil, no sugar (no honey), no refined foods, no meat or fish. About two months into it, or even less, I realized my pain and swelling were gone from my feet. I hadn't even noticed that I wasn't limping anymore. I had bought a couple of dozen different kinds of shoes, slippers, flip flops, etc. to accommodate my feet, but nothing worked. I did not stay with the diet, for no reason, but my pain and swelling have not returned. I have painful wrists though, and they also had cleared up. I am now getting back to the whole foods program, and am starting back to cutting out meat and chicken. I think the reason I gave up the diet was because I felt I was lacking some nutrients. So I may modify it a bit and keep fish and eggs in my diet to see how it goes. But mainly I now eat whole starches, whole vegetables, whole grains and whole fruits. Because of how our produce is grown, I think we do find mineral/vitamin depletion if we give up animal products. We need to stay aware of how we feel.
The future for our kids healthy eating 👍🙏💕
“Going Vegan” is not a destination. It’s a label. All we ever have to do is be aware of our needs at any given moment. What I eat reflects my state of mind so as long as I am mindful about the effect certain foods have on my entire being I can take steps to change it. Health is a journey and looks different for everyone.

Over 500k people registered to veganuary last month. Next year will be a even bigger number. I'm ready to see animal agriculture collapse and disappear forever. 🙏🏿🙏🏿
can't wait dairy is running scared see how they use kids to promote their warped agenda with TV ads
Over 500k people aren't going to stand the test of time.
We slaughter millions of animals for food every hour worldwide for food. Only gonna increase.
And how many have already left?
When I quit dairy I cured myself of the auto immune disorder that almost made me take my life. I couldn't believe how blind I was to diet and the consequences of putting unhealthy things in my body. I almost killed myself because of pain simply because I was addicted to cheese.... It sounds so pathetic now that I reflect on this message.
Chronic pain can be a killer. It puts you in such a terrible place mentally. I could never have believed how depressed I got when I was suffering from severe chronic pain. I wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy.
I just wish people, and doctors, understood more about the connection between negative mental states and chronic pain. It was the key in my case. A great physio and a book called Explain Pain saved my life.

just sell you car and never buy one again, herding animals are no problem for the environment
@@sternleiche Meat and dairy production are among the top causes of GHG emissions. Between burning down forests to make grazing/animal feed , the massive numbers of huge machinery that harvests hundreds of millions of acres of soy/corn/hay, then transporting it all over the country and the world and the methane from belching, farting animals and then the waste/pollution/using of the majority of our drinking water, meat/dairy is the worst product for the environment. It wastes more land for fewer protein calories, than any plants. One acre will produce 92 lbs of beef and 1292 pounds of lentils (USDA numbers). And one beef burger uses 2100 litres of fresh drinking water, compared to 160 litres to produce a 'Beyond Meat burger'. Livestock is a terrible problem for the environment.
@@ddhqj2023 yes the conventional food production is very flawed and we have a massive overpopulation problem, without it we can produce any form of food completely organic straight out of nature.
minimalism/moderation is the way to change things but we are omnivores and it is the healthiest form of eating for us. veganism and all the new diet ideas are just new ways to make profit and to keep the overpoplulation alive so mankind can be exploited even more.
cars emit more dangerous fumes than animals.
problematic for the environment is not only the car usage it is first and foremost the production and eventual recycling. so it should only be used when absolutely necessary and not a thing to have just out of convenience.
@@sternleiche I don't agree at all about us being omnivores. Between 6-5 million years ago, the first 'humans' appeared on the scene. Archeological evidence shows that we began eating meat about 2.5 million years ago. Which means we evolved eating and getting all our nutrients from plants. And that evolution is described perfectly in the way our teeth are shaped, the kind of digestive acids our bodies make and the organization of our entire digestive system.
As far as your foray into 'environmental' commentary, in the USA, 600 million acres of land is used exclusively to grow feed for and to graze the billions of land animals raised and killed each year in the States. Think of the huge numbers of fossil fuel burning heavy equipment that harvests those acres. (Just as a contrast, all the fruit, veggies, lentils, nuts, beans, etc.) that is directly eaten by people, only requires about 3 million acres. And those figures by the way, are from a Wetlands protection group (no vegan affiliation).
Add in the millions of big rigs that haul both live and dead animals all over the country, the fossil fuels burned to keep power on in millions of slaughterhouses and coolers to both move the animal feed and the meat and dairy....and then factor in the effects of deforestation (think Brazil's terrible fires....) to open up new grazing, new soy and corn for feed fields.........and finally include the methane that comes from hundreds of millions of sheep, cattle and goats and pigs as they eat and live.....Food animal production produces more GHG emissions that all the cars and trucks on the road according to experts who've researched all these factors.
Veganism is getting back to the diet that we evolved to eat and which will go a long way towards mitigating the destruction of our environment. And considering how drastically inefficient animal products are when it comes to land and water use, if the world went vegan, we could easily feed everyone on the planet and at the same time, allow great tracts of land to reforest for the sake of our wild neighbours. And we'd also be ahead in protecting coral reefs and oceans and ocean animals from the destruction that fishing boats do even so far as how they have bycatch, scrape the life out of the bottoms of oceans, dump old nets and crap that kill thousands of seals, birds and whales. If we love this amazing planet we live on, if we love our children and their future children and grandchildren, if we love animals, than veganism is the only way to live. For the sake of the animals, the environment and your own health.
I had been a vegetarian for 8 years. Damaged my digestive system so bed that it’s taking me 5 years to fix it. No one I know who is vegetarian is healthy! Meat and fat are essential for health.
What exactly caused your digestive system to go bad?
A lack of what?
For me, I eliminate sugar, minimize dairy and consume ginger tea (sugarless) with turmeric: no pain.
This is the MOST Important video for anyone to WATCH Awesome thank you 💚🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
In 1850 average person ate cup and half sugar in a year. Nowadays people consume the same amount in a week. Sugar will destroy your nerves and muscles . Wow chronic pain. We are dieing slow painful death
But in the "olden days" people ate pure maple syrup from maple trees, honey from the hives and molasses. They boiled down their fruits to make sweet jams, jellies and syrups, and also ate syrups from barley. None of these were sugar per se, but they still had an effect on obesity and tooth decay, as you can see from the artwork of that time as well as literature depicting fat people.
Don’t necessarily have to go vegan, but eat nutritious food. I had hurt my back while exercising. But I was eating crap food. Then one night I made quinoa stir fry and healthy oatmeal cookies/granola bars. I got a good rest and most of my back pain was gone. Really showed me how important food is for healing and recovery.
This is what the Yogis have been saying from eons ago.
I m glad the WEST is finally accepting it.
May we all live healthly & harmoniously with one another & our environment. AUM.
Became a vegan for 2 years now. The pain in all joints got better. Then year 2020 hit, and my depression became more so severe; I had cried all most every day. All the pain came back. Vegan food does not completely change get rid of the pain. Vegan food and healthy mind will get us rid off those pain. Now I focus on meditation. Has any body out there has the same problem like me? I have PTSD for more than 35 years.
I feel pain from injuries. Falling on ice. Fell roller blading. Carried heavy bags. Etc... I also have had rejection. Now I will try to focus more on healing my feelings. Thank you.
I also have PTSD and psoriosis and psoriosis induced COPD. Our health can be affected by a number of stressers we eat a healthy diet as a processed diet caused extra stress and inflamation in the diet. Ive been vegan 21 years vegetarian for 6 years before that. Im 35 years of age and stress impacts my health. I go on occasional monthly detoxes just eating greens and limiting most else. Stress of being in isolation will be a part of it. My faith in God also helps me immensly. Find a purpose in life and many worries will melt away
Just to put a downer on this - I have seen many chiropractors many times and gone plant based for 6 months and I’m in the same if not worse pain than before
I expect there are many more people in a similar situation to you.
If we don’t stop treating animals like crops and keep cramming them together, this COVID is just the beginning and we’re not handling it very well. That should tell us something.
Covid is a scam
So many pandemics have been caused because of our lack of respect for other life that is not human. We refuse to learn until something worse than COVID happens to us.
Look, I agree that we should stop treating animals like crops... however COVID was engineered and is literally proven. We need to stop promoting COVID as an animal market source, it doesn’t do our cause good
Covid was created in a lab in China
@I invented Google dude, the strain of COVID virus was artificially created, it’s a man made Frankenstein virus. There’s obviously a devious plan for whoever created it and people like you and I can only guess why.
What vegetables give the body protein? I heard nuts have protein how much of them must one eat to get enough for the body. My mother ate meat and vegetables and lived to be 99yrs old was only in the hospital to have babies also her sister lived to be 95 . My mother said moderation of food is important and how its prepared or made and cooked is Key .There is nothing wrong with a little meat sometime as long as you don't eat it all the time and prepared healthy and fasting . Fasting is a must in my opinion

read 'eating on the wild side' by nina etkin uni of arizona - anthropologist - she explains fodd and medicine - can't separate them anthropologically - eat seasonal and what is right for your environment and what is right for your recent ancestral background - you can put anything in your mouth but does it suite you - you and the environment - why do people not see the link between where you live and what you eat - example - many people eat hot chilli food during the winter in the uk - the effect of hot chilli kinds of food is that the purpose is to take the heat of your core to the outside to cool you off - cos that is where chilli type foods come from hot places - india for instance - so eating that type of food in a cold country is asking for trouble
I’ve been vegan 7 years......will continue to do so. I have so much chronic pain still and so many headaches. Can someone please help me. I think I’ve fallen through the cracks when it comes to doctors. Please.
Maybe more raw food 50% less grain but more fat ... try
Maybe avoiding nightshades vegetables
Great success stories!

its youtube automation. i've gone in and manually removed 3 of them.
To add on since i stop eating meat i feel light and become more happier
I experimented with keto and carnivore for 4 months a year ago and my mental health and physical health improved greatly!. I cured my fatty liver , lowered my ldl and triglycerides. My family doctor was shocked . I had to go off of it due to having difficulty absorbing fats with no gallbladder .
very amazing how the body works
The only time my chronic back pain disappeared was after going zero carb. Transitioning from a plant based diet to carnivore was one of the most difficult things I have ever done, however my health has never been better.
Great video, thank you for sharing, sincerely, Diana Lipski 💕
Its is actually part of a feature length film- ruclips.net/video/BpNTVHFZdj4/видео.html

I am a radiation therapist and have major concerns about Gerson therapy for treatment of cancer. I believe diet can help prevent disease, but I have seen so many people with curable cancers try to cure their cancer with gerson therapy and come to us too late to help them. The consequences are usually fungating tumours or metastases that cannot be cured. Please please please don't try to cure your cancer like this? I know I'm going to get attacked for this but I've seen so much heartache, don't let me see more?
3 months ago you, felt sure that you would be attacked for making your statements. For a while, it looked like no attack was forthcoming, but now your time is up.... WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH GERSON THERAPY ANYWAY? SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A RADIATION THERAPIST? I'LL BET YOU ACTUALLY WORK FOR THE CIA OR THE DEEP STATE OR SOMETHING!! Ok, that's it.... have a nice day
I still read about how good eggs and fish are for omega 3. I bought some high DHA/EPA capsules. I bought small atlantic fatty wild fish said to be the best. I still ache. My lower back still aches. We must not need omega 3 at all. Wow, this is how much some people don't know. Are they just pushing omega 3 to sell their products? I have also heard that omega 3 can be found in lots of vegetables. Since fish is acidic and eggs are dairy, then I will have to search for the most omega 3 in vegetables.
I've experienced the same thing.
Eggs aren't really dairy, they're in the protein family. But you could have a sensitivity to them. And ya we do need omega 3s. You need to watch though, because diet (especially american-style) has a super-high amount of omega 6, and it can be tricky but they need to be more balanced. I have read that omega 3s from plant sources like flaxseed oil aren't as easily absorbed as animal-based, so you may need to take more, or for longer? Idk, I just know I've read that. You may personally be sensitive to some of the compounds in vegetables, so your pain isn't decreasing. There are people that are just really sensitive to these, and they therefore have to live on a primarily meat diet (or else live with chronic, even debilitating pain and conditions). Maybe you need to try an elimination diet, see if you pick up any sensitivities.
@@chrisinreallife2022 I have been doing an elimination diet for a while. I have been watching different videos like 'What the Health" and "Genetic Roulette" and many others. Not eating meat at all including fish and eggs seems to be the way to go. I need to drop the eggs because they are full of so much fat. I have been hearing that fat is what is causing diabetes, not sugar. It is a slow process.
Add to that is what I have been hearing about the glyphosate that may be on organic foods. Glyphosate is flying through the air landing on everything. Plus I saw a video on vertical gardening. One person said that organic foods are being sprayed with glyphosate anyway. The whole aching thing could be caused by glyphosate. Plus the balance of omega 3 to 6 is tricky.
Thanks Chris for caring.
@@pureenergy4578 Eating fat does not cause diabetes. I've known people who have reversed prediabetes and type 2 by going on a very low-carb, fat-heavy diet. It's really just all the highly processed crap that does it I think. All the hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, and transfats. When you mix fats, especially those kind, with a high-processed carb-heavy diet it causes all sorts of hormonal imbalances and inflammatory responses. I don't advocate for vegan over keto, or vice versa. I think it is certainly individual for everyone. Both diets work wonders when done CORRECTLY. And that means eating natural, whole foods. Eating til full, not stuffed. And doing some type of activity you like. Finding healthier substitutes for 'treats' you like. The reason they BOTH work very well when done right, in my opinion, is because they essentially eliminate all of the mass-produced, factory-made food items, snacks, and junk food/fast food. If everyone just cut back a lot on that, they'd be healthier. That being said, I do think people should focus on eating whole foods, mostly plant-based, eat some small meat sometimes if you like, eliminate cow's milk and most (if not all) dairy and stick to veg substitutes, and beware of a lot of added sugar and avoid drinking your calories. Best of luck to you and it's great that you are finding what suits you best. (Oh and I also have to say, you can also sub many animal meat items with veggie versions too as there are so many tasty ones these days, or make your own!)
@@chrisinreallife2022 Just as sure as you say fat does not cause diabetes, I have found many doctors that say it does, like in the video WHAT THE HEALTH. I have found videos that say eating meat is the best thing to do of all. Everybody has got an opinion.
I think that eating sugar and salt right now is the worst thing I can do because I have noticed intense swelling when I eat just a tiny bit. I no longer want to go out walking, so sitting a lot is making these sugars and salts toxic to me. Have you seen the videos that say sugar is toxic?
I used to dance and ride a mountain bike and garden all the time while eating all the sugar and crap I wanted with no ill effects. So I know what the problem is.
I have read that all foods are carbohydrates/sugars because that is the end product. Then there is the acidic issue. We are alkaline beings that should stay above 7 PH. Meats/sugars are very acidic. Seeds/nut/beans are very acidic until they are soaked/sprouted. I just learned this this past summer. A lot of my aching stopped when I stopped with the acidic foods. But then I forget and want nuts that are not soaked and I can feel the acidity in me again. I am having issues with forgetting.
Thanks for this wonderful video! Makes me stick to wfpb lifestyle
Thanks for giving vital information. But, how we do much good result in perfectly only controlling what we eat?
?
@@cheezheadz3928 controlling food, are you too?
I have Chronic Lyme Disease and honestly if I had my old diet of processed food and McChickens, I don't know how I would be doing now. I'd be way worse that's all I know. I definitely thank plants to helping me heal.
I just saw a show called “unwell” where people were getting positive results from bee venom therapy. Got rid of the Lyme borrelia.
@@TheAnalogKid68 I've actually heard about that but I guess I wouldn't know where to get or how to do it.
everyone is growing grass yet they live in an environment that is full of sunshine and warmth /
I live in an environment that is freezing from November till June so fresh raw foods must be brought in with trucks
I can't even grow lettuces inside my house in front of a window therefor all cookbooks coming out of California and the southern states is of no help
I am resigned to canned foods and grains / I can not eat dairy products and onions and garlic which is everyones favorites
I have to buy foods brought in by semi trucks which have no taste / now with covid going to a grocery store is not easy
My dad lives in the Cochella Valley I want to find a doctor that can help reduce his medication help him with his plant-based diet
Can one eat legumes? Aren’t they cooked? Also what about brassicas that can impact your thyroid if eaten raw? Do you little steam? Just asking.
Ms. Richer at 8:42 looks incredibly healthy.
I’m adapting to a plant based diet and I do believe it’s the best way to eat.
I have two friends that are vegan, one of them has been vegan for 20 years and have constant problems with her sensitivity for skin an hair products and the other one has since turned vegan 4 years ago gained 30 pounds in weight and struggles with depression. My point is that a vegan diet isn’t a miracle cure for all problems.
You can be an unhealthy vegan though, the key is WFPB
Vegan diet ≠ Whole Foods Plant-based diet
I've been vegan 15 years, there's a lot of woo in this video, how does that help animals? There's a lot of woo in the comments, too. Is anyone else actually a vegan doctor and research scientist? If not, well, I understand how you don't realise it's woo.
?
What the heck is woo? I hate riddles, not everyone understands!🤔
@@evagosselin5434 lol true
Excellent video 👍🏿
Keyhole vision is the main problem of West. If you understand this sentence you'll live a fulfill life.
Sarve bhavantu sukhinah🙏👏
"Tunnel Vision" as it's know in the west.
thank you for your important video :)
As much as I like the video I cringe everything someone says „we have been designed“. It is grammatically sound but for people who then quote science for everything else it feel like an oxymoron.
Agree. Our physiology is the result of evolution so using the word ”design” alludes to some creator.
@@Elmgren76 Our physiology is the result of creation.
Woah just realized this is hot off the press!
Lol it is
Fruit does not get hot sir
@@alfajorcin ever eat apple pie it can be quite delicious and hot!
So powerful. I love eating all plant-based. Can't wait until I'm fully raw!
@@anettepineda7592 Yep, they are! Beans and grains can still be consumed on a raw diet. They are just prepared differently.
cooking really benefits the bioavailability of food and is the reason why human brains are so developed- cooking bulbs and tubers grew our brains to the size they are today. there isn't enough research on raw foodism and it is incredibly difficult to get enough calories for maintain health- I really would not recommend unless you are in serious need of inflammation reduction. at the very least, use "raw vegan" as a detox period for a short period of time then reintroduce cooked grains slowly afterwards. you're doing great where you are now and perhaps it would be best to do 80-90% raw instead of fully raw if you want the benefits.
It's not recomnended or sustainable.
Vegetarian & later on vegan for over 22 years. I Still am at heart. I have juiced enough to fill a pool. But autoimmune issues never got any better. Tried EVERY thing...Then I was tested by a func med friend and found my oxalates level was very high. What is oxalates?? And other issues stemming from this! If this is anyone else’s experience then look into oxalates. I was also pointed too, to Sally K Norton. Google-🤗
Have you stopped lugumes, cereals and nightshade vegetables for several months. Combine this with vitamin D, tumeric and probiotic supplimentation. I have been vegan 21 years vegetarian 6 years before that. I have COPD caused by psoriosis now getting psoratic arthritis all stress induced due to years of protecting kids from sexual abuse and being hypervigilent with PTSD. My faith in God also helps
shared this with my family ♡
Thanks
I LOOOOOOVE VEEEEEEEEEGAAAAAAAANIIIIIIIISM!
DR Sebi was right all along
How can one who have GI issues possible yeast or bacteria start this way of eating if there fruits are a necessity. Also what happens if you have allergies to nuts?
This is really great info here.
Please can you share the resipice thank you god blees you
All the way from Republic of Ireland filipino
So how can this type of Nutrition help ulcer patients?
Thank you 🍏🍉🍈🍇🍎
I have been plant base since 4 months now ! I have notied incredible positiv changes in my skin my mood my digestion , my overall energy. but the only thing that I dont see any positiv yet are the joint pain and my articulation flexibility ! could it be possibile that it needs more and more time for these positiv change to appear ?
You cannot "Change your Ph level".... I've been eating vegan for 5 months now and love it... I also love factual information.... if you changed this, you literally would die. As a doctor, this man should know this.... cmon people.
Its not about blood acidity, its about chronic acidosis and what your body compensates for homeostasis. Look up the dialysis literature and apply to everyone. Our kidneys are being neglected even in the wfpb community.
WE SHOULD ✋ STOP MAKING EXCUSES AND WORK IN THE PRESENT MOMENT
So good information
My chiropractic adjustment sometimes doesn't last 15 minutes.
Plant power is amazing 🔥👍🏽
I have not eaten meat since 1983 when I went to college in Oz and couldn't handle the gamey meat. I would have loved this video except I have done every single thing here but still ended up with tons of arthritis and now fibromyalgia. I wish things were this simple
Organic high quality Milk product are also not good?
Yes, my plant-based diet has reduced my joint pain. But no, it is not a cure for chronic pain. This is quackery.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Ate plant based for a year in hopes of lessening my pain & inflammation. Didn't do a thing for me. Two months of an elimination WOE, zero carbs, no dairy now and will see how that goes.
Already watched this documentary...
In parts, music is overwhelming. Otherwise excellent.
You’re just grumpy
Actually you’re right
If milk causes inflammation. Can one take yoghurt instead since it is kind of fermented?
Possibly, but they actually make vegan yogurts that are really delicious. So you don't have to miss out. I found a couple when I did a 30 day vegan challenge and still like them better than regular yogurt actually. In fact, there's a few vegan things that our household (other members also definitely not vegetarian/vegan) prefers over the non-vegan ones. Like Vegenaise. Best mayo sub ever, better than real mayo. Oat or cashew milk. Coconut milk yogurt. And the coconut, or oat milk, or cashew milk ice creams. The best!
