Eating a plant-based diet improves the health of your gut so you are better able to absorb the nutrients from food that support your immune system and reduce inflammation. Fiber can lower cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar and it's great for good bowel management.

I was already a vegetarian when my mom died of colon cancer. The last time I saw her, I decided I was never going to eat anything that didn't come from the ground or a tree. No one's perfect, but I think at 82, I can say that I can attribute some good health reports to the high fiber diet. Plant based for the win.

I'm 40 years vegan and at 60 years old, feel amazing. I moved to florida to support my mom on her journey back to health. She was dying in the hospital from 4 major cronic illnesses. Heart desease, diabetes, hign blood pressure and whole body infections, kidney failure. At 83, the doctors didn't feel she had a good chance to last another year. After 3 months plant based and nutrient dense with daily exercise, she is reversing all her major illnesses. a total 180. It takes a lot of hard work and support to change so drastically. IT REALLY WORKS. Go Plant Based with nutrient dense foods. Move your body joyfully and stay positive with love. And life will return.

I suffered from metabolic syndrome (obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood sugar). I went whole food plant based no sugar oil or salt and I lost 65 pounds, all my conditions greatly improved, my gums stopped bleeding, and erections and energy returned. I used to have an appetite that was never satisfied; whole foods cured it. I no longer use a sleep apnea machine. Finally, the food is cheap-Beans, lentils, rice, potatoes and seasonal apples. I am thankful to all the vegans who suffered attacks to reveal the truth to me.

Today is day 29 for me. 30 days ago I was on the DAD (Deadly American Diet). That's the same as the SAD (Standard American Diet) but just a more accurate acronym. 29 days ago I started eating a 100% produce-only, whole foods, plant-based diet. Fruit and greens, beans, seeds, nuts, legumes and vegetables. If it comes in a box or a bag, was manufactured or processed in any way, if there is literally more than one ingredient on the label, I have not consumed it. And I went from chicken wings, pizza, cheeseburgers, fish, pasta (almost exclusively from ordering from DoorDash and restaurant food only) to 100% prepared meals at home. By the end of week one I was sicker than I had ever been in my life. My guts were ON FIRE, but the worst symptom of all was I literally could not walk. I had to fight to get out of a chair. I had ZERO energy. I questioned what I was doing and considered perhaps I had made a mistake going "full retard" (from the film Tropic Thunder do don't get triggered). But I stuck it out. By the end of week two I was just about to cash in and call it a day and eat some "real food". I hung on just a few more days and the it happened...a 180 degree turn around in how I felt. I got up (almost 2 weeks of total insomnia by the way) and a feeling of calm and well-being came over me that I had no felt since I was a teenager 35 years ago. It is night and day. I went from no energy to having more than I had on the DAD by a factor of 10. My mind is 1000 times quicker and sharper. I am NEVER giving up this feeling. Clearly I just went though a full on detox like no other. Other than maybe a water only fast, this is the best way to detox. All the massive amount of vital energy it take to cope with a poor diet is suddenly freed up and your body goes...holly shit! Now we can use some of this vital energy to clean up some of the debris and injury and illness that has been looming but we (my body's cells) didn't have available. This is known as "the law of vital economy" and its our bodies way of triaging what is in our best interest first..."worst first" kind of thing...but go from chemicals in your diet and processed foods and oils and refined sugars to pure, low calorie, high nutrient density foods and BAMM! Tons of energy to clean house, make repairs and get back to joy. If I can do this...ANYONE can do this. I have lost 18 pounds in 28 days. I want to lose another 20 or so...but I'll let my body decide what my ideal weight is. I'll start a B12 and EPA/DHA supplement in the near future. For now: only drink is water (never a pre-made drink - which is food by the way) no fragmented foods (like making orange juice and removing the pulp which helps slow the absorb glucose metabolisn and prevent spikes) water saute only (oil-free life from now on - oil is 120 calories for table spoon regardless of what type it is and has zero nutritional value and is pro-inflammatory) lots of greens and colorful vegetables, beans, etc. And 45 min. of balls to the wall high intensity exercise (like weight/resistance/pull ups/push ups etc.) or 90 min. a day of light and easy exercise (like fast walking). I am BORN AGAIN and feel 15 years old. Hardest month of my life. But if you're going to make a change don't do it half assed...DO IT RIGHT. VINCIT QUI SE VINCIT!

[@zeroounce8874]

They are stubborn. Doctors aren’t taught how to prevent diseases, they are taught how to ease the symptoms of disease. My husband is a doc so I know. They go through all diseases breathily, They don’t go in depth of what causes that particular disease... they like to say it’s genetics. My was in a hospital with gallstones and when I asked doc why do I have gallstones he couldn’t give me an answer. I asked is it from foods I ate? He said no. He wanted to operate my gallbladder but didn’t know what caused gallstones. My husband doesn’t know either. So while I was in hospital with huge inflammation I did google how to flush gallstones(how to get rid of them) So I found out that I should be fasting and drinking a lot of liquids. So that’s what I did I drank only water, tea, and liquid soup twice in 3days. Then over the weekend I asked if I could go home as I have 2kids and I said I will be back early Monday morning. Doctor said ok but he wanted to do blood test again before I go. Then on Sunday called me while I was home and he said he got good news, inflammation gone and that they are puzzled and want to do a ct scan on Monday. They did a scan and saw that gallstone which caused all the trouble was flushed out. My doctor was very confused, said he had no explanation to that and asked me what have I done. I told him that I stopped eating, I was fasting. So my problem was gone, I could go home and didn’t need operation anymore. Then later I got another problem - under-active thyroid. My doctor didn’t know what caused it. Just told me it’s genetic or could be other causes( but couldn’t explain) and gave me medication. What I wanted to say that doctors don’t get to the root of illness they just treat symptoms. If you want to heal seek advice from dietitian or nutritionist. They did they research.

[@wawanat]

@@zeroounce8874 that's good to know. I have an inflamed gallbladder, no gallstones, but my gut is telling/asking me to eat more soups. I do find that I feel better if I eat more soups. I think I'll try fasting along with soups to see if inflammation gets down.

@@cbird73 I suspect you're in the US, where for-profit medicine results in perverse incentives to keep people sick. In countries with social medicine, sickness is a burden on the health service and on the taxpayer and there is much more incentive to keep people healthy. Especially as the aging population threatens to overwhelm resources. So outside the US, I suspect that it's more of a cultural issue - medicine is a conservative profession and new ideas take time to become accepted - especially if they are perceived as low-tech and unsexy.

[@claudiaeliss]

I worked years on the business office of a GI facility and not only there is no nutrition education, most doctors themselves eat nothing but junk food, drink diet soda! In fact, most of our staff is obese, our nurses specially, very frustrating! I am studying clinical nutrition now, and more frustrated to learn that the literature on nutrition is pretty solid. Unfortunately many doctors are more invested on performing multiple procedures a day as opposed to read the medical literature and referring their patients for nutritional therapy. As a future nurse you can really have an impact though!

Mom - 6th stage of Alzheimer's then mysteriously died; (possibly fell and hit her head) while still able to eat and drink.

This interview was eye- & ear-candy from start to finish. It is so important to get this message out there. It seems to happen that everything good comes together in a plant based diet. It is over the board healthy, it is compassionate, no animals have to suffer for it, it makes you happy and keeps you moving. What else do you want from a diet? A huge thanks to doctors like Dr. Desmond and not to forget all the other promoters in and out of the medical field, that lead people to a plant-based lifestyle through educating. Thank you very much =)

It's not the Western Diet the issue in itself, it's the modern western eating habits, which I consider 2 different things. Start buying fresh and unprocessed food, balance meals well to get the good amounts of macro and micro, get rid of most sugars and sweeteners, eat only 2 or 3 times a day, never more than that, move and exercise. And at that point all diets are good. Which is best is still under debate and probably depends from person to person (and some foods are probably wrongly demonised). At that point even a whole-bread, grass-fed, veggy-filled hamburger is fine (maybe not every meal). By the way, TMAO is an indicator and not a really strong one, so cycling between different good protocols I think is the best idea.

Weight loss is not about calorie counting, it’s what you eat. Because human body processes proteins and carbs from vegetables and fruits differently. Body Processes fructose from actual fruits differently than added sugar and many people don’t know it. Because they read somewhere that fructose = sugar. We need to consume fruits and not to be afraid. May I ask did you consume added sugar?

He is so addicted to the fast food, any other food is disgusting to him.I offered him "normal" food, not tofu or things like that. So far this week he refused a salad (because I made it with Greek olive oil,fresh lemon,braggs vinegar- he said even if he put one of his favorite processed bottled salad dressing on it, the salad was ruined because of all that health stuff I put in it). Made him a simple cut up orange,pineapple salad with pomegranate seeds. Refused it and would not eat a bowl of fresh cut up watermelon, I even took the seeds out. He's 70 now and I have to have the fact he won't make it. Yesterday, he called that he just got back from eating breakfast out. Asked him what he ate, hoping it was just eggs. Nope, an o omelet with bacon,sausage,ham and cheese in it. The processed food addiction is worse than a drug addiction.

@Godisgreat-777 Your comment is from three years ago, so I certainly hope your nighttime peeing- trips have resolved by now.. And hopefully your heart & general health greatly improved, as well.. Whenever we initiate or undergo significant life changes, even beneficial ones, paradoxically, our stress hormones can be temporarily elevated, and sometimes (decrease) kidney urine-output 'by day', but when these stress hormones' levels FALL when we're asleep, the kidneys then get a 'green light.' Also, one study that I recall, found that, for every ~500 calories- eaten incremental INcrease/ DEcrease, the body (correspondingly) tends to either temporarily (retain) 1 add'l pint / 1 pound of water, or to (pee) it away.. Plantsbased diets are oft lower in calories, unless deliberately calories- boosted.. And fruits & veggies have high water- content.. On (any) diet, most (initial) weightloss is mostly water quickly lost. Even so, (me vegan for 35 years now), I'm both far healthier, and far slimmer, by about 35 pounds), than I was back in 1989.. Not only a daily vegan 'multi', but also an (algae- derived) essential fatty oils supplement might be helpful/ healing for your heart, as well.. People tend to forget, (not you, tho, with your 'no added oils') that there were presumably NO veg-oil or seed-oil presses/ extractors 'back in the Garden', and (Gen. 1:29) that we'd not have been prescribedly steered- to a diet that would've harmed (US), either.

A non-GMO plant-based diet will cure many things. If you had childhood vaccines or flu shots or others, they are linked to causing epilepsy, so stay far away from them.

@@veganizeeverything2769 I ended up with Epilepsy Seziures due to a head trauma injury as a child when bullies in the area I grew up in beat me up for being different and overweight I ended up with temporary brain damage and temporary memory loss but since I started eating a Vegan diet I have dropped in my amount of annual seizures count and lost ½ my obese body weight originally I was around 21 to 22.80 Stone at age 18 leaving School and now age 33 I'm 10.46 Stone weight as of Wednesday 6 May 2021 and am much happier and healthier and have become a Semi-professional 10 Pin Bowling 🎳 Athlete for my local Region in Ireland 🇮🇪

Clinton That is excellent news. You sound like a strong and dedicated person. Good to hear a bit of your story. Stay strong !

@@veganizeeverything2769 Show us the clinical evidence of vaccines causing epilepsy please ? Most of this anti vax stuff is pure fiction. Yes Vegan lifestyle is good but don't mix the message with being anti modern medicine.

Great diet, also go sugar free with the exception of fruit and boycott ultra processed foods except for fruit. I'm 56 and still very slim and fit. I have been vegetarian for 42 years but mostly vegan now and supplement b12 I have no health issues, also a fan of intermittent fasting.

I went plant based and in 3 months my cholesterol dropped from 330 to 175!

Follow up. Dr Rangan Chatterjee, Dr Tim Spector, Dr Gemma Newman and Giulia Enders her book on the Gut. and when I first started to question food, I read a book called Pure white and deadly by John yudkin This was published in 1972 and exposed the bad, almost dangerous nature of Sugar.

i would love to take myself and my family vegetarian or even vegan, it breaks my heart when i see how animals are treated and then processed for food, its abhorrent and grotesque.

[@Turgid_Spleenis]

The egg and dairy industry, as well as the leather industry are as violent and exploitative, if not more so, than just the meat industries alone. Veganism is the only option as far as animal welfare is concerned.

Do a water fast the first week. That will really kick start the health benefits!
