| If one is more purified on a vegetarian or vegan diet and eating organic food, the detoxification may be more mild.
Just as it takes years for your tissues to become encumbered by improper materials, so too does it take years to dissolve and eliminate these improper materials. In general, I have found that it takes one month on a 100% Sunfood Diet to reverse one year on a cooked, toxic diet. So, for example, if one is 45 years young, then it will take 45 months to detoxify the body on a 100%
Sunfood Diet.
Every living organism strives always to remove obstructions and achieve perfect health. | | He has followed a vegan diet since birth, as taught to him by his mother (overturning the false idea that indigenous peoples are not vegetarians or vegans). Only three times in his life has he eaten animal foods (raw rattlesnake twice, as a ceremonial experience; and turtle soup once). His friends told me he could identify thousands of herbs.
He told me the story of how he crossed the Desert of Silence in the State of Sonora Mexico. He crossed without food or water for eight days all the while sucking on a small pebble.
He described that fasting was the key to spiritual awakening. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Soybeans do supply some missing amino acids in the vegan diet, but it lacks other essential amino acids and has additional problems. It contains protease blockers that can interfere with enzyme function and inhibit the thyroid. The soybean has one of the highest glutamate levels of any plant, and when solubilized or hydrolyzed, the glutamate is freed to do its damage. This is particularly true of liquid soy products, such as soymilk and free amino acid products. Some liquid soy products even have extra hydrolyzed soy protein added, which increases the glutamate content considerably. |

See book keywords and concepts |  But plants are our natural food and are much lower on the food chain than flesh food, so a vegan diet works to reduce the amount of harm in a dramatic way. Veganism causes less overall harm to life because the animals raised for consumption have eaten thousands of plants before they themselves are slaughtered. Just think of all the food that a cow must consume for the steak that one eats.
When we eat, we are biting into the living planet. What we eat is the consciousness of the living Earth. | | So, it is obvious that many type O people can be successful on a vegan diet. A high percentage of type Os, including this one, do not need to eat a high amount of protein because we are slow oxidizers.
One of the leaders in blood type anthropology is Laura Powers, Ph.D., who is not a vegetarian. She feels that the Eat Right for Your Type diet is "pure speculation."24 Her data, described in Conscious Eating, shows the importance of lectins and knowing your blood type. |

7. The body feels a shake up and discomfort with a sudden change in diet. Counselors who have worked with drug addicts know that it can be dangerous to stop a drug habit too abruptly. The body can be shocked by being deprived of a certain poison, such as cocaine, especially when this drug's constant use has forced the body to adapt itself to the poison. A drug can actually become a physiological necessity one must wean away from. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Switching to a vegetarian diet may also be of benefit, as a long-term trial of a vegan diet (elimination of all animal products) provided significant improvement in asthma symptoms in 92 percent of the twenty-five treated patients who completed the study (nine dropped out). The researchers also found a reduction in the tendency to develop infections. It is important to recognize, however, that while 71 percent of the patients responded within 4 months, 1 year of therapy was required before the 92 percent level was reached.
The diet excluded all meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. |

See book keywords and concepts | | A vegan diet, on the other hand, makes 5 percent of the demand on the soil in the U.S.
The ratio of food productivity per acre from livestock versus vegetarianism shows a tremendous disparity. For example, one acre of land can produce 20,000 pounds of potatoes, but can only support the production of 165 pounds of beef. An acre of grain gives five times more protein than the protein from beef raised on one acre. Legumes give ten times more protein an acre and leafy greens produce twenty-five times more protein than one acre used to raise beef. |

The results showed that this uncooked vegan diet, rich in lactobacilli, decreased subjective symptoms of RA (Neonen et al. 1998). They also found that large amounts of living lactobacilli consumed daily may have positive effects on objective measures of RA but that it was difficult for patients to stick to such a strict diet. They concluded that a vegan diet changes the fecal microbial flora in RA patients and changes in the fecal flora are associated with improvement in RA activity. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Finnish researchers had 20 people with rheumatoid arthritis do this, instructing them to follow a vegan diet (meaning, no meat, fish, poultry, or dairy products). Another 20 people, also with the disease, maintained their usual eating habits. Three months later, those on the vegan diet reported less pain, fewer swollen joints, and generally better health. After the study, some of the people on the vegan diet returned to then old eating habits. Guess what? Their symptoms worsened.

Hot dogs and other deviant foods
You want to know what's truly dietarily deviant? | | So it only makes sense that, as you move closer to that diet -- known as the raw foods vegan diet -- you will attain a state of perfect harmony with yourself. It only makes sense that any deviation from that -- processed foods, factory foods, foods with a long shelf life, etc. -- will take you away from a state of perfect health.
That is why we have so much chronic disease and strange behavior in the population today. What you eat affects how you think; it affects your behavior, moods and level of aggression. This is all influenced by your food choice. | | Everybody else is eating some deviation from that normal diet, yet they think a vegan diet is "extreme." But it's the standard American diet that's blatantly incompatible with the human body. It's incompatible with sustainable agriculture and balance between people and nature. It's incompatible with clear-headedness and lucid thinking. It's incompatible with internal health at all levels, including the health of women who are pregnant and trying to give life to another being. |

Vegetarian Rav Abraham Isaac Hacohen Kook, the well-respected Jewish spiritual leader and Torah scholar in the early part of the twentieth century and the first Chief Rabbi of the pre-state of Israel, said that the permission to eat meat was only a temporary concession to the people. |

See book keywords and concepts |  A strict vegan diet that contains no animal proteins whatsoever, is almost entirely devoid of processed foods, and is low in sodium and high in fiber and water is generally considered conducive to kidney stone prevention.
Q Measures used to treat kidney stones and to prevent recurrences depend on the nature of the stone, so it is important to take any stone you pass to your health care provider for analysis.

See book keywords and concepts |  Thus, the diet of the long-lived Okinawans is actually very different from the kind of soy-rich vegan diet that Robbins recommends.
Finally, the longevity of Okinawans has been attributed to many factors besides soy consumption. Indeed the three authors of the Okinawa Centenarian Study name caloric restriction as "the key to eating the Okinawa way." And although they share the good news that diet, not genes, is the key to longevity洋eaning we too can live long and well if we follow their plans優r. |

See book keywords and concepts | | One small, preliminary report suggested that fasting followed by a vegan diet (allowing no animal flesh foods, dairy products, or eggs) had only small and inconsistent effects on rosacea.3
Lifestyle changes that may be helpful
Sun exposure, stress, excessive exercise, and extreme temperatures (hot or cold) of weather or bathing water may trigger flare-ups of rosacea, so avoiding these conditions is recommended.4
Nutritional supplements that may be helpful
Azelaic acid is found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley and is used topically in a 20% strength cream. |

See book keywords and concepts |  As you recall, people following a vegan diet had 31 percent less intracellular fat compared with people on a regular diet.1 That means improved insulin sensitivity. That is a great start, and the next guidelines are designed to carry you further.
You will get another benefit. When you set aside animal products, you do more than free yourself from animal fat; since animal products are the only source of cholesterol in the diet, leaving them off your plate also eliminates all the cholesterol from your diet. As your cells reclaim their health, the rest of your body does, too. | | The vegan diet also proved highly effective in reducing body weight and cholesterol.
To put all this in perspective, the landmark UK Prospective Diabetes Study showed that a 1-point drop in Ale for people with type 2 diabetes lowers the risk of eye or kidney complications by about 37 percent.10 This is the effect of just the Ale drop without considering the ability of the diet to also reduce cholesterol and blood pressure."
In the next chapter, I will show you how you can test this diet to see what it can do for you. But let's look a bit closer at the science behind this approach. |

See book keywords and concepts | | When people with diabetic nerve damage switch to a vegan diet (no meat, dairy, or eggs), improvements have been reported after several days.35 In one trial, pain (page 338) completely disappeared in 17 of 21 people.36 Fats from meat and dairy also contribute to heart disease (page 98), the leading killer of people with diabetes.
Vegetarians also eat less protein than do meat eaters. The reduction of protein intake has lowered kidney damage caused by diabetes37'38 and may also improve glucose tolerance. | | Rickets is more likely to occur in a child consuming a pure vegan diet (which does not include animal products and thus no vitamin D) than in a child consuming milk or other animal foods. Dark skin and/or a lack of sunlight exposure (which reduces the amount of vitamin D made in the skin) also increase the risk of developing rickets.
The few foods that contain vitamin D (page 607) include egg yolks, buttet, vitamin D-fortified milk, fish liver oil, breast milk, and infant formula. | | Vegans (people who eat no meat, dairy, or eggs) have the lowest cholesterol levels,26 and switching from a standard diet to a vegan diet, along with other lifestyle changes, has been reported to reverse heart disease in controlled research.27'28
Dietary cholesterol
Most dietary cholesterol comes from egg yolks. Eating eggs has increased serum cholesterol in most studies.29 However, eating eggs does not increase serum cholesterol as much as eating foods high in saturated fat, and eating eggs may not increase serum cholesterol at all if the overall diet is low in fat. | | Dietary changes that may be helpful
A vegan diet (includes no animal products) that is also low in salt may help women with fibromyalgia. In a controlled clinical trial,5 women with fibromyalgia were put on a special diet consisting only of raw foods用rimarily fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and cereals (such as rolled oats). The diet also contained several fermented foods, including a fermented yogurt-food made from oats, a fermented beverage made from wheat berries (called Rejuvalac), and several types of fermented vegetables, particularly cabbage. |

See book keywords and concepts | | To his surprise, however, when the doctor found out he was starting a vegan diet, she was delighted. "That will probably help you a great deal," she said. And indeed, it did. Within 6 months, he lost 30 pounds, he was able to stop one of his two diabetes medications, and he was continuing to improve week by week. His doctor had no formal education in nutrition, but she knew success when she saw it. She now recommends the same diet to other diabetes patients.
LOVED ONES WHO HELP AND HURT
Sometimes our friends and family members help us stay on a healthy path. | | A team of California researchers used a low-fat vegan diet, combined with exercise, in a group of 21 people with type 2 diabetes, all of whom had painful neuropathy葉he nerve symptoms that arise as the nerves show signs of damage. In just 2 weeks, 17 of the 21 reported complete cessation of their nerve symptoms, and the remaining 4 had noticeable improvements.14
Other researchers have found that some of the changes in the eye?exudates in the retina葉hat sometimes occur in diabetes start to improve or even disappear when people make a healthy diet change. | | They compared the participants to others who were similar in age and body weight but were not following a vegan diet.19 When the researchers measured the intramyocellular lipid in each participant's calf muscles, they found it was 31 percent lower in the vegans than in the omnivores. It looks as if there is something about the diet that helps prevent fat buildup in cells.
These studies show様oudly and clearly葉hat the accumulation of fat in the cells and all the problems it causes are not simply a matter of genes. | | Our studies have shown that a low-fat vegan diet increases this after-meal burn, giving you an extra edge.13 I will go over this in more detail in Chapter 6. For now, just enjoy the weight control that is kicking in on its own.
Losing excess weight feels great, of course, but weight loss improves your insulin sensitivity in addition to the effects of the diet change itself.
Easy cholesterol control. If you have had a cholesterol problem, the program you are now beginning is far more powerful than typical cholesterol-lowering diets. This should be no surprise. |
