See book keywords and concepts |  People on a balanced vegan diet rarely suffer from a chronic illness. A recent study showed that a vegan diet may even reverse diabetes. In addition, it is a myth that vegans are more prone to anemia owing to a deficiency in vitamin B12 than meat-eaters. In fact, I see far more anemic meat-eaters than vegetarians who are anemic. I personally suffered years of childhood anemia while on animal proteins, but completely recovered from it after eight weeks on a vegan diet (with the exception of butter). |

See book keywords and concepts |  One of the best ways to achieve a high-fiber and low-fat diet is the vegan diet. This is a vegetarian diet in which absolutely no animal products are consumed. Strict vegan diets, which are typically very low in saturated fat and dietary cholesterol and high in fiber, can help maintain or achieve desirable blood levels by especially lowering the total cholesterol and the LDL cholesterol.99
Specific fruits or vegetables may also have a particular positive effecr on serum lipids. Raw carrots may have a more potent effect on lowering cholesterol than do oat products. | | Of course, vegetarians, and even strict vegans, can succumb to fat in other forms like french fries, potato chips, and other greasy fried foods. A vegan diet rich in whole grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, olives, and seaweed that is enriched with oils for stir-frying and in salad dressings results in a diet that derives about 15 to 20 percent of its calories from fat.
Nutritional Supplements
Vitamin E. For more than 35 years, clinicians have used vitamin E in the medical management of benign breast disease. |
Bottom Line Health
See book keywords and concepts | | Important: If you eat a vegan diet (no animal products of any kind), take a multivitamin as nutritional insurance. Plant-based diets do not contain adequate amounts of all nutrients.
Are You Getting Too Much Iron?
Most Americans get enough iron from food, especially red meat, fortified grains and leafy vegetables.
Exceptions: People who have had blood loss from surgery or accidents.. .most pregnant or breast-feeding women.. .women who have heavy menstrual periods. |
Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Similarly, being on a strict vegan diet for three months led to improved sleep and less pain in a group of FM patients. The diet used is called the living food diet: all food is served uncooked and consists of fruit, berries, vegetables, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, legumes, and cereals.
With such a diet, vitamin supplements are a must. Diets such as these are usually less than 2,000 calories per day and so lead to weight loss—a side benefit. |
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  By consuming a healthful diet based on an organic, partially raw / vegan diet with nutritional supplementation, a fair amount of physical exercise, and minimal animal products, I've achieved LDL cholesterol of 67, HDL cholesterol of 62 and a resting pulse of 48.
These numbers are not unattainable, even though they are astonishing to many doctors. They should not be considered unusual, either, because these numbers represent a level of health that all human beings are capable of achieving if they just stop poisoning their bodies with unhealthy foods, beverages and prescription drugs. |
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  Some might call it a raw foods diet, or a raw food vegan diet. I think those terms can freak people out. I don't consider myself a vegan, since I sometimes eat cooked fish. And I don't consider myself a full-time raw foodist, since I eat one cooked meal a day. But I believe whole-heartedly in the benefits of raw, living foods, and I totally support the philosophy and practice of veganism. But there are healthy vegans and then there are junk food vegans. I've seen people guzzling soda and eating chips, then calling themselves "vegans." Are you kidding me?
Forget the labels. |
Gabriel Cousens
See book keywords and concepts |  This reality is also concisely stated in the chapter "Vegetarianism in the World's Religions" in my book Conscious Eating and in Spiritual Nutrition, two books containing arguably the best scientifically documented case for a life-long vegan diet of live foods. We have seen evidence that a processed diet is a diabetogenic diet, and the Culture of Death way of eating and living creates far more suffering and sickness worldwide than just diabetes. |

See book keywords and concepts |  As testament to the food allergy theory of asthma, research indicates that a vegan diet helps relieve asthma symptoms. In a research study of 25 asthma patients, 71 percent of those who went vegan—no dairy products, milk, eggs, meat, or fish—experienced a significant improvement in asthma symptoms after only four months, with that number hitting 92 percent after a year. Experts say that vegan diets help asthma patients simply because they eliminate common food allergens like milk products and eggs. |
Tori Hudson, N.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | The simplest way to accomplish the necessary levels of fat reduction is to avoid animal fats in all forms; a vegan diet (vegetarian, without any animal products at all, including dairy or eggs) is naturally a very low-fat diet. Of course, vegetarians, and even strict vegans, can succumb to fat in other forms like french fries, potato chips, and other greasy fried foods. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Ten years later I switched to a balanced vegan diet, and most of my illnesses went away within a matter of weeks. However, I still had to live with the many stones that had been produced in my liver and gallbladder as a result of what is known today as the O-type blood diet. Forty gallbladder attacks later, I did a series of liver and gallbladder flushes, which cleaned out these vital organs. Finally, I was free of any illness or discomfort.
You won't notice the effects of a high protein diet until the blood vessel walls are well-thickened with excessive protein. | | In one recent study, a group of people participated in a week-long program that included a strict vegan diet, stress management and spirituality enhancement sessions, group support, and exclusion of tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine. Just within one week on this program, the average homocysteine level fell 13 percent.
Conclusion: If you regularly consume large quantities of animal protein, including meat, pork, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, etc. |
Dr. Steven R. Gundry
See book keywords and concepts |  You can certainly survive on a vegetarian and even a vegan diet, and there may be compelling ethical reasons to avoid animal products. However, during my fifteen-year stint as a professor at a medical school that espouses vegetarianism, I encountered very few long-term vegetarians and vegans who were in thriving good health. This is largely because the eating habits of most vegetarians in this country make them pasta and grain dependent. They might be more appropriately called "grain-etarians. |

See book keywords and concepts | | On a natural live-food vegan diet, our results in four weeks were 50 percent better, without the use of oats or soy.
High-Stress Lifestyle and Hypertension
When the body is under stress, many hormones are released that indirectly increase insulin excretion and indirectly create insulin resistance, a precursor to a diabetic physiology. These hormones release energy in the form of glucose and fat, which is made available to the cells of the body. This provides fuel for what has been traditionally referred to as the "fight or flight" response. | | Evidence suggests that a raw vegan diet, moderately high in walnuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds may be helpful in the prevention of diabetes and in regulating glycemic control. This may be because the omega-3 and -6 fatty acids and the monounsaturated fats act to strengthen and repair the cell membrane structure and function. The wrong types of fats in our diets create an abnormal cell membrane structure, leading to impaired action of insulin. |
Andreas Moritz
See book keywords and concepts | | Once your taste for meat or other animal proteins begins to diminish, you can gradually switch to a balanced vegan diet.
Over two-thirds of the world's population are still vegetarian (they eat some dairy) or vegan (they eat nothing from animals) and, therefore, they consume little or no animal protein. These population groups show almost no signs of such degenerative illnesses as heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, obesity, MS, and the like. | | I personally suffered years of childhood anemia while on animal proteins, but completely recovered from it after eight weeks on a vegan diet (with the exception of butter). The idea of having to combine certain foods in order to get complete proteins is plain misinformation, too. The body does not depend on food proteins to produce the proteins it requires to be healthy.
The strongest animals, such as the elephant, wild horse, gorilla, and bull, do not have to eat animal proteins either. |
Gabriel Cousens
See book keywords and concepts | | A 2005 study found that the low AGE content of a low-fat vegan diet could benefit diabetics.35 The Culture of Life anti-diabetogenic diet I employ is unprocessed, unheated, plant-source-only foods, and low-glycemic, meaning that the AGEs issue is rendered moot. It is thus optimal for reducing and eliminating diabetes and its complications.
Oxidative Stress
A higher blood glucose creates an oxidative stress as well. | | This vegan diet is mimicked a little bit by that designed by Dr. Dean Ornish in his famous work in 1990. His diet contained no animal products, no cholesterol, and very low fat (a 10 percent fat intake). After about one year, the angiograms showed that 82 percent of the people who started with significantly blocked coronary arteries were starting to open up their arteries. In addition people exercised, meditated, and had no smoking.46
A study47 reported in the February 2004 New England Journal of Medicine tested young people whose parents or grandparents had Type-2 diabetes. | | Esselstyn, who has reversed cardiovascular disease with a 100 percent success rate using a vegan diet,15 we do not see heart disease in people who have a total cholesterol of lower than 150 or an LDL of less than 80. In our results, you will notice that the low-density lipoproteins (LDL) went close to normal range, with an average drop of 67 points, or 44 percent, to an average LDL of 82 over a period of 21-30 days. LDL is known as "bad" cholesterol because a high reading is associated with increased risk of heart disease. |

Q. Can taking Epsom salts have harmful side effects? I find that it causes soreness in my anus during the cleanse.
A. Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) can be found in mountain regions and is contained in sea salts. It is also manufactured synthetically by combining natural minerals. So long as the liver is congested, Epsom salts have no harmful side effects. |
David Wolfe
See book keywords and concepts |  Even if a person is consuming an all-raw vegan diet, the habit of typically overeating sugar and fat, and undereating green-leafed vegetables (while trying to make up for it with superfoods such as spirulina) leads to a slightly acid and constricted body chemistry - leaving one tuned-out, just a bit. This condition is alleviated by
Sacred white sage contains thujone alkaloids which are likely the primary source of its magical properties. smoking marijuana, hence the desire. |

Candidiasis may be a factor in persistent hives. Although live active yogurt is generally recommended for people with candidiasis, you should stay away from it if you are allergic to dairy. Instead try kefir or sauerkraut. Many people with dairy allergies choose to drink sauerkraut juice daily—an acquired taste, to be sure, but one that goes a long way toward replacing the friendly bacteria that fight Candida albicans. |
Russell L. Blaylock, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  The problem with the vegan diet is that vegetables do not supply all the essential amino acids needed for healing and immune function. It is important that vegetarians and vegans eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables to get as many of the essential amino acids as possible. Many are gulping down amino acid concoctions to replace these lost amino acids, but I discourage this practice since most are high in free glutamic acid, which can produce the same damage as MSG. | | The only problem with the vegan diet is the potential for vitamin B]2 deficiency. A recent study found that the overall healthiest diet is vegan-vegetarian, which is mostly fruits and vegetables with a little fish thrown in for additional nutrients. Since we've already seen that seafood contains mercury and pesticides, that leaves us with a vegetarian diet plus nutrient supplements. If meat is included in the diet, it should always be from a trusted organic source (e.g., grass-fed cows and free-range poultry that have not been pumped full of antibiotics and other drugs). |

The Light of Live Foods
Live Foods he Spiritual Nutrition diet is a special type of spiritual vegan diet aimed at helping us transcend body consciousness, clean the
J_ koshas, calm the vrittis of the mind, clear the nadis, and expand the prana. For this reason, Spiritual Nutrition is more disciplined than a regular vegetarian diet, generally lighter, and includes Spiritual Fasting and the taking of primarily live foods (uncooked roots, leafy vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds). |
David Wolfe
See book keywords and concepts | | Many nutritionists feel that a vegan diet does not supply enough vitamin B12 for the body. This may or may not be true. My experience of meeting vegans and raw-food vegans who have been following those diets for 20+ years indicates that vitamin B12 deficiencies can arise in certain cases. It seems that if one is clever with their diet or occasionally uses vitamin B12 supplements and follows a healthy lifestyle, there is little chance of a vitamin B12 deficiency. |
