Your Body in Balance with Dr. Neal Barnard

[@choonkoktan9716]

Dr Barnard you and other plant-based or vegan doctors like Dr Caldwell Esselstyn, Prof Colin Campbell, Dr. John Macdougall etc should be conferred with a Nobel Prize (medicines) because all of you are "real" doctors treating the causes but not the symptoms or simply preaching the medical truths! plus other truths of compassion and loving kindness as preached in all religions!

[@MindVersusMisery]

And Dr Michael Greger and Dr Dean Ornish. :)

Great info! My mom & her twin had br cancer & I had it 2x by age 40! I had severe endometriosis & the worst pain imaginable. 104 degree fever from it on one Thanksgiving at age 37. No drugs help the pain from a butst chocolate cyst. Too late for kids for me now, but hope other women get the message. Thank you Doctor for making it all so easy to understand! I don't need my Bio Sci degree to comprehend.

I have a similar story about a colleague who had to leave work every month. She started to eat a plant based diet just to see what happened and the menstrual pain disappeared! Dr Barnard, you are wonderful! Thanks for teaching us!

[@alicejohnson7514]

You are a true hero. I really appreciate you and what you share with the world on health and eating plant based diets.

Would love to hear more about a plant based oil free diet and how it affects fibroids. Are there any success stories on them improving or disappearing over time?

[@brioche8123]

My cramps are horrendous when I’m not eating wfpb. I’m vegan but I have to eat wfpb at least 90% of the time or my body tries to kill me off when my period comes around. I don’t think my doctor took me seriously when I had one really bad episode. I was told to just take Motrin leading up to my period.

[@lf8238]

My cramps are horrendous too! I feel ya! I switched to WFPB vegan after I heard Dr. Barnard say that the arachidonic acid in animal foods is a strong cause. It's taken 4 months, but my cramps were SO much better this time. I don't take pain meds, so I am really able to gauge that this approach works. I just had to be patient. 🙂🌱

[@brioche8123]

L F yay! So glad you experienced pain reduction! I think cramps are joked about a lot and people don’t understand just how bad they can get. I found that including more ginger in my diet helps a lot too. It cuts my pain in half. I found that tip through Dr.Greger. You should give it a try. When my diet is clean and I’m having ginger almost daily. Pain reliever is optional when my period rolls around

[@lf8238]

@@brioche8123 Thank you! Yes, I've been using ginger for years. It doesn't help me with my cramps that much, but works beautifully for my menstrual headaches. 🙂

[@carolynbrown3379]

Could you have endometriosis??

[@MichelleZinCR]

Thank you! I have been wfpb, no oil, low fat for 2.5 years now and feel amazing!! All my menstral cramps are gone and I'm so grateful. This month though... I am bleeding lightly for 1 whole week so far and still not stopping. I'm not bear my scheduled period either (I've been very regular this while time too)... any advice for me? I'm 40 years old. My last pap was normal (but it was 3 years ago)... no pain but very unusual for my body. No kids, actively trying not to be pregnant through the rhythm method. Not on birth control for past 8 years.

Do you take a B12 supplement? I find that helps me, as well as walnuts, which are full of B vitamins.

[@petervaichus6978]

@Marie Grace - at least try eating some wild caught salmon and/or pasture-raised eggs to determine if that alleviates the issues you are struggling with. You hopefully will be pleasantly surprised by the results of this simple trial, Marie.

[@mariegracebrabandt8028]

@@petervaichus6978 thank you for the suggestions but I'm a vegan and I won't do that. Thank you though. 🙏🖤 I'm actually feeling better since I got the stress in my life under control.

[@petervaichus6978]

@Marie - I wrote that knowing you are vegan Marie and I know it’s a mindset that is hard to overcome. One of my daughters was vegan for five years and suffered chronic digestive and skin issues for years. When she finally did choose to do a trial of eggs and tuna in her diet it resolved those issues in short measure and gave her strength to work out a lot more. I believe it’s fine to eat a plant based diet the majority of the time, even 90%, however some animal based food is essential for most people to achieve full health and wellness. Jesus the Messiah ate fish and some of his apostles were fishermen. God did give certain animals as food for mankind for a reason as he created us to have abundant life. Please keep that in mind as you continue your sojourn upon this earth as it may indeed be something you’ll want (or need) to look into more closely in the future. May the Lord bless you.

Dr Barnard regarding garlic, garlic efficacy should tested on raw garlic, not pills.You should check out studies that tested RAW garlic..I've been eating raw garlic almost everyday for over 40 years, in that time I've been sick twice..

[@ceciliachipoco]

Do you have this information in Spanish? My mother has lupus and has treated it for 15 years. Can it improve with a WFPB diet?

[@joantendler6518]

Does your mother take Plaquinil, a form of the chloroquine that might be a treatment for COVID-19, for her lupus? My son has taken it for 4 months for lupus, and it has improved his symptoms in a major way. I looked up how Plaquinil works, and it puts you into the state of ketosis, or fat burning! So, a ketogenic diet that avoids all vegetable oil, which can't be burned for energy, might be a great idea for her lupus. My son's diet is close to a ketogenic diet, so that is probably a big part of his success.

[@ceciliachipoco]

@@joantendler6518 yes. She's been taking hydroxicloroquin for 10 years, and other medication as well, has routine controls with her doctor.

[@joantendler6518]

@@ceciliachipoco Well, if she would like to have the effects of hydroxychloroquine naturally, she might consider doing the ketogenic diet, but avoiding vegetable oil and olive oil.

Could this approach be useful for hormonal migraine in women, e.g. attached to the menstrual cycle, especially at menarche? Thank you.

[@marley7659]

If it is related to hormones then yes. It is worth it to try it out for a few months to see. The key is to be as close to a Whole Food plant based diet as possible with lower amounts of fat. My periods have been pain free for the first time in my life.

[@Equinox1.5]

@@marley7659 That's brilliant. Many thanks. I am thinking of a young teen who has perpetual migraine, without no break from pain. It appears to be hormone-related. I'm glad you are free from pain at last.

[@marley7659]

@@Equinox1.5 It is worth a shot. I know my best friend has migraines or cluster headaches quite often. She is on a lot of supplemental vitamins since she has no sense of taste and aversion to most food.(texture problem). She has recently been eating more vegetables and less processed foods.

When you say minimize oils, what would you say is the amount you should have in a day/ week? I hardly use any, but was curious what is considered minimal.

[@burmachpotoka8153]

If you eat enough seeds, nuts and avocados so I would not recommend to eat any oil at all if possible. If these foods are limited then 1-2 tb spoons/day probably ok.

Hardly use any doesn’t mean much. That could mean a tablespoon a day for all we know. Zero oils. Zero. Some nuts are ok.

If someone eats a high carb high fiber low fat diet, no added oils or saturated fat, and no more than 10-15% calories from fat overall, will eating 50-100 grams of added sugar from maple syrup or organic cane sugar every day cause any health problems?

[@soypusher5567]

dj121, yes. Your shoulders and neck will shrink like the above example and your eyes will sink into the back of your head. Tip, don’t get nutritional advice from an animal activist.

maple syrup and organic sugar should be considered as junk food and limited.

@@rl9808 that's right

None of the plant based doctors recommend eating that! These are highly refined products that go straight into your bloodstream and significantly raise your blood sugars! If it doesn't contain fiber, such as fresh or dried fruit have , don't consume it. It is NOT healthy.

[@dj-fe4ck]

@@lf8238 that's only true if you eat it with lots of animal fat and oil, which is how most people eat it. If you eat it with high fiber plant foods like fruits and whole grains and with minimal amounts of fat, that doesn't happen.
