It is important you know I am not a doctor. I have done a tremendous amount of research in this area having stumbled onto it myself when my doctors wanted to start me on a life long regimen of pills and office visits with the expense and the side effects and no cures in sight. Just more and more of the same. My doctor said nothing to be about this, but when I asked him if he had ever heard of this research he said yes and told me he had been vegan for 7 years. Why didn't he tell me? Because he, and most doctors don't think their patients will comply. We are never given the option. I chose diet over pills. I am on no medications of any kind any more.
A plant based diet is not rooted in superstition, it is not a fad, it is not tied to industry so there is no money to be made or lost. That last part, the money part, is why you haven't heard any of this before. There's no money in free but there's plenty of money in pharmaceuticals, bypass surgeries, and the meat, dairy, egg, and sugar industries.
Its equally important you understand this is not a punishment. This is not what you think it is at all. How can I live without meat, cheese, eggs, and sugar? The foods available to you are wondrous and many. Such variety. It is delicious. And you will begin to look and feel better than you have in years. Possibly decades. Read the posts. Follow the links. See for yourself.
By removing what is making us sick we are giving our bodies an opportunity to heal themselves. You can expect to get well. Say that out loud. YOU CAN EXPECT TO GET WELL. Your blood pressure will normalize, your total cholesterol will drop to 150 and below, your arteries will open your weight will come down to where is should naturally be. You will have made yourself heart attack proof and created a blood profile that is extremely inhospitable to cancer cell growth. This is powerful stuff and once you adopt a diet of low fat, whole, unprocessed foods things will begin to change quickly.
If you are on diet related disease medications of any kind, statin drugs for cholesterol management, blood pressure medication, and/or type II diabetes meds, to name a few, before you begin a low fat plant based see your doctor first! If these issues are diet related, and you strictly adhere to the program, things will begin to normalize quickly and medications will need to be monitored so dosages can be lowered. Blood pressure will begin to drop in as little as 10 days.
There are a few folks out there that will have problems for different reasons, genetic or other, but the overwhelming majority will start to get well on day one.
