My health journey started when I became pregnant and at that point decided to become vegetarian do to everything I knew to be heating and have a healthy baby. We were vegetarian for the 1st 13 years of his life and I wish we had never gone back. I wish I had know about raw vegan then, but everything ones in its own timing. I am her newest follower now.

    Vegans & Carnivores both make the same claims. Ultimately your body is unique in it's needs. First step is experiment and getting your blood work done to have a legitimate insight, to whats inside.
    Also, don't arbitrarily tie yourself to a diet identity. If your body needs a particular nutrient at a specific volume do it. But understand that once the body adjusts and heals that, there may be an issue demanding you alternate your diet approach at a later time.
    Regardless of what you do.... Reduce Carbs, Sugar, Processed Foods, Alcohol and increase your sunlight & sleep. That's 75% of the battle. ♥️

      This is good advice! Raw veganism worked well for me for 6 months, healed 4 large fibroids, lost 70 lbs, restored my vision to better than perfect, and more. After 6 months however I began to feel sluggish and found out I was anemic, b12 low (even though I was using nutritional yeast and taking b12 liquid supplements). Also Vitamin D deficient. Now I eat a balanced whole food diet with high amounts of plant based food, with sweet potatoes, organic brown rice, oatmeal WITH wild caught salmon..All my levels are perfect now, I'm in my early 50's and I feel better than ever!

    Didn't work for this girl. The toxins in plants made me sicker and sicker. Vegetarianism led to my hair not growing (cut one time per year as nearly no growth), my nails became paper thin, my eyesight went going downhill (super bad night blindness occurred) and my skin looked lackluster. Gave up after years and went carnivore! Never felt healthier. One little meme was of cave art from our ancestors and the write up stated, "We never see salads in cave paintings." So, our ancestors were meat-eaters.

    15:05 I think you have to talk about it, who is in a lucrative thinking, he has to think about bringing children to the world, causing a INCREASING OF cost OF living.
    Demand for more apartments, elimination of land, animal elimination, plant elimination, elimination of the whole world and nature.
    We have already reached saturated with the amount of people and should start maintaining a maximum amount of people in the family.
    That is, a family of 4 generations should contain a certain amount of people and nothing more.
    You have to calculate exactly what the number is - and make sure no one in the family [the most extended family as of 2023] should be up to 4 generations, and with a number of up to say a certain amount I don't know just to say exactly how much.
    Then only with someone dead, say Dad or Mom died so the last generation in the dynasty can bring children as all those who died.
    Thus, there will be no cost of living, no more lands will be destroyed, and no more animals or plants will be killed.
    Everyone has land owned or owned by their dynasty, which will solve all the problems we mentioned.
    Translated using Google from Hebrew, I HOPE there IS NO incomprehensible TRANSLATES :)
    15:05 אני חושב שצריך לדבר על כך, שמי שהולך בחשיבה משתלמת, הוא צריך לחשוב על כך שכרגע הבאת ילדים לעולם גורמת ליוקר מחיה.
    ביקוש לעוד דירות, חיסול שטחי אדמה, חיסול חיות, חיסול צמחים, חיסול של כל העולם והטבע.
    הגענו כבר לרוויה מבחינת כמות אנשים וצריך להתחיל לשמור על כמות מקסימלית של אנשים במשפחה.
    כלומר משפחה של 4 דורות צריכה להכיל כמות עד מסויימת של אנשים ולא יותר מזה.
    צריך לחשב בדיוק מה המספר - ולדאוג שאף אחד במשפחה [משפחה הכי מורחבת בינתיים נכון לשנת 2023] צריכה להיות עד 4 דורות, ועם מספר של עד נגיד סכום מסויים אני לא יודע כרגע להגיד כמה בדיוק.
    ואז רק עם מישהו מת, נגיד אבא או אמא מתו אז הדור האחרון בשושלת יוכל להביא ילדים כמספר כל אלו שמתו.
    כך לא יהיה יוקר מחיה, לא יהרסו עוד אדמות, ולא יהרגו עוד חיות או צמחים.
    לכל אחד יהיה קרקע בבעלותו או בבעלות הורי השושלת שלו, וזה יפתור את כל הבעיות שהזכרנו.
