(Updated 2/23) Some Health Updates
- The whey protein powder was causing my stomach to heat up. I could do massive amounts of whey protein powder when previously working very physically intense seasonal work, but when not working, somehow it has a damaging heating effect.
- Bread has been discontinued due to poisoning from roundup and over-fortification. Hominy is a fantastic alternative. It helps me be in "perfect hominy."
- Certain plant foods are not as toxic as previously thought and are being reintroduced into the diet.
2/23 Update:
I tried going vegetarian again. I just can't do it. After a couple days, I get tired, weak, and shaky. The solution may be protein cycling:
Have a day with the primary source of protein being from whey with no meat, followed by a day of the primary source of protein being from meat with no whey protein. That way, there is several-hour-interval after going to bed when changing the protein source - no discord-causing meat-dairy protein interaction.
Yeah, food definitely has less nutrients these days.
ReplyDeleteIs the iron heme or non-heme? Heme iron is from animal sources and is absorbed much better. Non-heme is from plant sources. The highest absorption is from combining both heme and non-heme. Have you had some tests done? (I understand if not. I haven't been to a doctor in several years.)
The herbal tonic is non-heme. Really good video on iron:

(I may get a bit 'nerdy' below. I warn you in advance, lol!)
Lacto-ovo-vegetarians have diets very high in phosphorus from high amounts of dairy, which can be hard on the kidneys over time, which can cause a lack of energy. The calcium is also high, which competes with iron absorption. If not eating eggs too much, the diet also has less of the amino acid arginine and is higher in the amino acid lysine. Personally, I discovered that this gave me insomnia. Meat like turkey is high in arginine and lower in lysine. Although both dairy and meat are 'complete proteins,' each protein source has higher and lower amounts of various amino acids.
I wouldn't say to eat less dairy if this is your thing. It's kind my thing too! But maybe include a bit of meat as well. I tried going lacto-vegetarian for a week recently, and my energy levels plummeted and I felt depressed, so I put back in some meat - not a super huge amount of meat, but enough to get an extra 25g of protein or so per day.
I don't want to pressure you into anything though. These are just some thoughts/ideas.
(Dairy being high in lysine and low in arginine.)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've encountered cases when people would initially have positive results from going vegetarian or vegan, but then their health declined over time because of the nutritional deficiencies. The nutritional deficiencies of vegetarians take longer to manifest compared with vegans, but this still happens. Vegans in particular often quote ethical reasons for their diet, but is it ethical to destroy the health of the human body?
ReplyDeleteOf course there are cases of very long-term vegetarians being healthy and running marathons when they are in their 70's, or scenarios of this kind, but these scenarios are probably the exception and not the rule.
Diet is one of the toughest ones to figure out because there are so many variables. Blood type, for example, can be a factor.
Awesome! Yeah, inner guidance can really help!
ReplyDeleteThe meat is having a negative reaction with the dairy again. When alternating between meat and dairy for meals, I'm not allowing for enough time to separate the two. Maybe if I eat enough plant foods that have higher levels of protein, I can go vegetarian again. I don't want to eat meat. I just felt like I had no other choice. Maybe I'll be vegetarian one more time to try to get it to work. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteWhether it's eating meat, or going to war, or (fill in the blank), so many times, people do what they do because they believe they have to, that they have no other choice. This needs to change. Roads can be paved for other options.
ReplyDeleteI believe it!
ReplyDeleteWith me it was chocking. I've had many instances when I would not be eating anything and would choke on my own saliva entering the windpipe. There were some pretty hard core acute breathing issues from this. It's not every day but does happen. I don't get scared when it happens anymore because it's happened so many times. I just end up saying, "Nice try." I haven't had a breathing issue from getting sick though. Maybe in your case a doctor could help. (I hate to say that because I'm not a fan of doctors.)
Definitely, there have been quite a few attempts on my life. They probably want people to feel like they are alone in that regard.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I remember Sebastian mentioning black goo and anomaly a long time ago.
If there's one thing I've noticed about the planetary liberation process, it's a lack of balance.
Outlook looks good!
ReplyDeleteMe going vegetarian for too long:

I can so relate! Over the years, I've tried so very hard to not eat meat, and no matter what I did, the result was always harmful. I tried every protein powder on the market - pea protein, whey protein, rice protein, egg protein, soy protein, hemp protein - nothing worked. I don't want to support the suffering and abuse of animals, but there is no other viable option.
DeleteBetween not being able to function and having to eat meat, eating meat is the lesser of the two evils, especially if being a Lightworker contributing to planetary liberation. We unfortunately still live in a world of having to choose between greater and lesser evils.
