Chef AJ came from a heavy smoking household and then smoked for a while herself. She has dealt with chronic asthma her entire life. This is sincerely not a shocker and she is probably doing as well as she is because of her diet and lifestyle today. Go, Chef AJ! 💚💚💚
She's also probably post meno and hormonal instability can cause cancer too. She could be on HRT which can accelerate cancer cells that were undetected.
Yes, and remember the pesticides sprayed on the vegetables, plants aren't the cause, it's the chemicals they spray plus the smoking and all the stress she's been thru. Plants could have kept her alive for so long. Even if we eat a clean diet, the environment, the chemtrails, contamination, past smoking, its all too much to deal with.
Wow I'm so delighted to hear Ricky talking about being Vegan. He does hold himself to account, and in becoming vegan he is being ethically and intellectually consistent. Most people are not.
ELON is the worst, he wants 10 X's the number of people when humans DOUBLED in 50 Years & Killed off 69% of Wildlife! Free BirthControl, Smaller Families and Ending all the ChildFree FINES saves! Also, defund animal ag. Last, Public Transit and Cities Save Not Suburban Sprawl, more cars or EV Elon!
What broke my cognitive dissonance was when a bird flew into my window and was stunned. I was convinced it would die and it was all my fault. I cried for over an hour. Then i went back into my house where i had been about to eat chicken when the bird hit my window. I just looked at it and was like why is that bird so much more important to me than this one? It's been a bumpy road but I'm still trying every day to be better.
I felt the same years ago when I was criticizing Koreans for eating dogs and then I inner stood that all animals are just like us. Pigs, cows, turkeys, baby lambs, and the lust goes on. I real eyesd that I was a hypocrite. Then I saw a movie that showed a couple of scenes of an abattoir and it scarred me, I broke down sobbing. That was the day before thanksgiving seven years ago. I only wished I’d transitioned sooner As for those vegans that get very sick there is healthy vegan and massive junk food vegan Obviously we k is which one is the true source to inner being Much love everyone Be gentle with others as this helps animals better, to be the change and walk the walk and gently others will see Much love
I once saw a chicken eat a piece of chicken. I thought:: if the chicken doesn't care about eating her brother, why should I get all twisted up about eating the same chicken. It was a very eye opening moment.
@agreeablegraylife the difference is you are aware and it is not necessary for survival. Also the chicken didn't keep that other chicken in torturous conditions for it's entire life. Mostly it's a personal decision so if you don't care then you do you.
She's been living with lung cancer for two years and my cousin and aunt who both had it, died within six months and they were heavy meat eaters. In fact, my cousin took his doctors advice to 'make sure you get lots of protein' and he ate a pound of bacon a day! He died very soon after diagnoses. Couple months after.
It depends on what type of lung cancer you have. The small cell carcinoma, which is the most aggressive, has a very poor prognosis. Staging matters too. Stage 4 is the worst.
I agree and that's only if you're a WFPB Vegan. If you eat ultra processed food all the time eg all the meat replacements etc, I don't think you're much better off at all. I'd say her WFPB diet just means she has a better chance of kicking it but sadly no guarantee 😥😥
I understand, I am vegetarian/ vegan for 39 years and have cancer, stroke,and heart disease. If I was not vegan I would be worse off than I am. Vegan helps us to be better for thee genetic diseases that run in my family.
I had cancer, I was in a group of women, about 30, who were being treated for the same cancer. I was the only one in the group who ate a whole foid plant based diet. Interesting to me, I was the only one in the group who felt strong and healthy through everything. I had no side effects, no fatigue, nothing, and my cancer was terminated. I know this is my experience, however my doctors noticed the difference as well. I agree with you, I think food is our medicine as well.
Same here. Just found out yesterday that I had a heart attack at some point and have heart damage. If I hadn’t gone vegan 10 years ago, I’m sure I’d be dead already.
Vegan is not a diet,it is a philosophy and way of living that chooses not to exploit animals in any way ! Plant based doesn't mean that one is vegan. You can be plant based but still participate in exploiting/ abusing animals.
It could be said the other way too, that vegans are concerned about animals, but they don’t care that much about personal health. They eat junk food, pastries, pasta (processed food), drink alcohol, and really don’t follow nutritional plant-based practices.
@ You are believing fake news. Check out Dr. Fuhrman and Dr. Greger. I have been nutritarian (Fuhrman’s term) for over 15 years, and my blood numbers are perfect and I have the blood pressure of a healthy 18 year old. I am 73. There are so many kinds of unhealthy veganism. Fuhrman and Greger are crystal clear with their recommendations, and I follow them to the letter. No added sugar, salt or oil. No frankenfoods. Only real fresh fruits, fresh or cooked vegetables, nuts and seeds for essential oils, and cooked mushrooms. I have grown my own sprouts and microgreens for many years, and I have hundreds of pounds of dry beans from around the world in my garage. I cook a pot of beans from dry beans every week. No canned food, no processed food, no sugar water, no alcohol. Also, daily intermittent fasting is important and also going regularly (every 2 to 3 days) to a gym for a strenuous aerobic workout. Good health does not come easy!! Like anything of value, it takes work to achieve it.
@@Meathead-10810 very risky to go plant based if you don't want to give up high blood pressure, stroke,diabetes, heart disease, obesity, cancer,arthritis, osteoporosis etc etc !
I got lung cancer and I do not smoke. (I am also a vegan) I worked in a room that had asbestos tables and walls because I was doing metal smithing. My parents also smoked 9 packs of cigarettes a day between them. My dad developed lung cancer as well, but he was much older. I am also an RN. It took me one year to get diagnosed. I was refused a CT scan even though I was coughing up blood and was short of breath. I had a couple chest xrays. I thought it looked like adenocarcinoma, and the radiologist agreed, but I was in Texas, working at Scott and White, who would not let me see a real doctor, nor have a CT, and I had their insurance!!! Anyway, wound up losing both lungs on my left side and the whole base of my right lung. Stage 3 cancer. Vegans get cancer, nonsmokers get cancer, runners get heart attacks, people who don't drink can get pancreatic cancer. We should not judge. (btw, still working as a nurse, still exercising and still a vegan. The quality of my life is pretty good. That picture of me in the was 2 years ago when I was just 60. So I am adding Chef AJ to my prayers.
I stopped watching him when he took no accountability for being with a 17 year old when he was a 30 year man. Yes, it was (barely) legal but how creepy is that? I think he has a few daughters himself now, would he be okay with some 30 year old sniffing around them when they were barely legal? And given his promiscuity, there is a good chance he has some sort of STD - did he pass it on to her? She's was young, she wouldn't even think to protect herself...it's just gross on so many levels. So much for all his chitchat about working the 10 steps, taking responsibility for hurting others and so on...
About Chef AJ having cancer: What is so infuriating in this carnist society is that everything vegan has to be perfection. Example 1: The fitness world is full of steroid use and protein shakes. If a vegan use steroid and/or protein shakes it's because of "flawed diet". Example 2: The omnivorous eating patterns cause massive amounts of deforestation and animals deaths. But vegans get accused of animals deaths and hypocrisy because of supposed "crop deaths", even though everything that is a problem in a vegan food system is massively bigger in an omnivorous food system. Example 3 (which relates to Chef AJ:s situation): The most common causes of death are cardiovascular disease and cancer. Most of the people getting these disease eat a non-vegan diet. But if a vegan gets a disease like this, then the diet is to blame. Societal norms, marketing and peer pressure sure make people stupid.
Vegans get that negative criticism (Example 2) because they always tell others to be ethical and not kill animals. That IS EXTREMELY hypocritical and how can vegans expect anyone to take them seriously after that? I certainly can't so vegans become a laughing stock and the butt of jokes.
Brand is a good example of why to avoid celebrities for what they say about "veganism". Celebrities are addicted to attention and will say anything to get it.
When I first became vegan in 1991 at 13, I had Peter Singer's Animal Liberation book, Gandhi's autobiography - and my little dog who lived on sweet potatoes and peas by choice and eventually died at 17yo. That's it. It was never about health, never about looks. It was a moral choice. I think the problem with kids and young folk now (not going to include Brand, he's a nutter) is that they are constantly being asked to ignore their morals and ethics. From where their clothes are made, to the cars they drive, to their environmental impact. It's too much, and they end up turning away from everything. They know all the problems, they're aware of everything, and it all becomes too much for them.
The reason why I started eating a Vegan/WFPB diet was because I have terrible genes. Between them, my parents had the four main killers: Cancer, Heart disease, Diabetes, and Alzheimer's.
Check out metabolic therapy for cancer. Lot's of info online from highly credible mainstream medical. Metabolic theory may be the missing link for diet and cancer.
You do not have terrible genes. Genes are either expressed or suppressed depending on your environment and what you consume. Some people do have worse genes than others or remarkably better genes than others but in general it is how you nurture those genes
Russell Brand recently got baptised, I thought he would have watched Christspiracy and that would make him want to be vegan more, he was vegetarian in the 1980s when it wasn’t easy or popular so it’s quite a shock that he would go back to eating meat.
I don’t think vegans (not all vegans) eat that healthy. Oreo cookies, French fries, chips, impossible burgers are vegan. They eat a lot of chemicals, ultra processed foods, oils in foods. Most of those nut milks are full of oils that cause inflammation. Just because it says vegan doesn’t make it healthy. Chef AJ changed, went whole food, plant based only 5 years ago. There are so many toxins in our environment that cause diseases. I appreciate Chef AJ for her honesty. I love how she has brought awareness to trying to be healthy., weight loss and taking back her power with learning more on how to take better care of herself. She’s brought some great guests of doctors on her podcast to bring awareness. That’s how I found out about Dr. Brooke Goldner. Dr. Alan Goldhamer.
Oreo themselves claim their cookies could have cross contact with dairy. Those burgers use an additive that was tested on animals. In truth, they are all fine with using animal products. They only pretend to be against it.
I watched him being interviewed by Joe Rogan - who is completely anti-vegan - and he seemed to cave under the pressure of Rogan’s propaganda. He also had a hard time standing up for his Vegan lifestyle in an interview with Jordan Peterson who pushes carnism. Seems to be caving to peer pressure 🙄
Joe Rogan is hardly a man of science. More than once he's been caught advancing pure misinformation on his show only to be corrected on the spot by producers who feared consequences.
When I had cancer I imagined being cured, and then being hit by a bus. Ha ha ha I think this way because it helps me keep things in perspective and stay in the now as much as possible. I am cancer free and I haven't been hit by a bus... Yet 😂
We all have cancer cells in our bodies. It's just a crap shoot that depends on lifestyles, smoking and eating habits are mitigating factors as to whether or not it takes off.
Thank you so much Plant Based News, in 2020 one of your videos popped into my algorhythm even though I hadn't watched any vegan-themed videos before. I watched and listened and I switched to a whole food plant based diet. I lost all my excess weight, overcome my bingeing disorder that had plagued me for decades since age 12, and I have stayed slim ever since. My life was not worth living before, now I'm healthy, happy with my body and age 58 I look better in clothes than I've ever done, I love being stylish, fashionable, slim and most of all healthy. I love animals and helping them and the planet in my small way.
I don’t know about him but I am conservative and vegan for 10 years. I wish people would stop with the politics. It’s BS! There are Catholic vegans, Christian vegans, old white vegans, young black vegans. Stop putting us in boxes!!!!
Yes! We are the most diverse group. Vegans are from all over the world with different political views, religions, ethnicities, etc. In the U.S., unfortunately, a lot of people think that if you are on “the right” or a conservative, then you must eat meat. Such a shame. People can be conservative, religious, and vegan at the same time.
@@jenniferbaez1725 Yes, but conservatives and the "right" are much more into hierarchical thinking, so them placing animals anywhere near beings worthy of consideration is much rarer.
@@jenniferbaez1725Indeed, I'm a Christian, conservative, vegan and there's plenty of scripture that backs up WFPB Nutrition, like the Daniel Diet, Garden of Eden, etc.!
“I do know this, I was on keto for 5+ years and I loved it. Then I had a heart attack which I attribute to the animal proteins and high fats. Now I am following the Ornish lifestyle, which is four parts but includes plant based, low fat, and low sugar.” juilstahl
I've heard a lot about autophagy and how long term water-only fasting can be a good weapon against any unhealthy cells in the human body including cancer; even stage three or stage four. BTW, I'm also health-minded but I'm definitely not a vegan. I'm certain that anyone has the potential to get cancer. May AJ be showered with blessings.
knowing plant based is as good a source of protein and most vitamin deficiencies are from a lack of vegetables and fruit what are your reasons for not being plant based? Convenience? Habit? Social pressure? Taste? genuinely interested promise im not here to attack you
so disappointed with Russell ..cant rely on celebrities they are too susceptible to the compulsion of mind ...his wife has never been vegan so his children probably aren't ..i bet big family and friend pressure ..his new friends like jfk are very pro meat eating ..so sad to me ..the animals are sacrificed for all these egos
Curious as well, because listening to dr. Peter Rogers explain all the pitfalls of animal products leads me to no other conclusion that they are unhealthy without exception.
Never liked Russel Brand even with him being vegan, never thought he was funny, he always looked desperate and anxious to get laughs every minute. I couldn’t care less that he’s no longer vegan, if not for the fact that other people do look up to him. But he’s always been trash in my book, now he’s even worse trash.
Interesting, I'm a retired Certified Nursing Assistant/HHS/PC. I worked in hospitals, private duty and and nursing facilities. I had many clients who lived to their late 80:s to over100. My oldest clients were 102 103, two were 105, 107, 112 snd 113 respectively. And many in there 90's and late 80's. A few of them were cancer survivors. Two of them had both breasts removed. Some outlived their children and spouses. The one who lived to 107 had a granddaughter who had cancer. I don't know what happened to her granddaughter if she survived the treatments or not. That was the downside they said of living so long. They didn't eat any particular strict diet. In my own family my mom died of cancer however my dad smoked, she was exposed to second hand smoke over the years so maybe that was how she got cancer. Her grandma lived to 102. My 112 year old had his own garden and ate from it but he wasn't vegan or vegetarian. He was living on his own until he turned 104, he had fallen and didn't want to live alone any more. He was a very down to earth positive kinda man. Thanks for the informative video. An educated consumer is the best customer.
HHA/PCT typo. My little lady who lived to 105 was British so not all were from U. S. Less processed foods and slightly less pollution as and the type of stress and definitely not as sedentary as we've become over the decades I'm thinking. Three of my own children have had cancer scares. My daughter had six pullups removed in 2019, my other daughter had a lump on her breast and my youngest son had a lump on his chest, well you can't say breast he didn't like that term. They put a tube to suction out the fluid. They have to have a cancer check every year. So far they're clear. Again, thanks for the information.
Often times they had years of hard work, non processed food and were grateful and did not eat much only what they needed. That generation had respect for the land do not gorge on high fructose corn syrup, fast food, and pizza.
Exactly. And then McDougall family silence. Why did they not get an autopsy? What were they hiding? Unacceptable, and yes I am a physician who completed an elective rotation with Dr McDougall during my Internal Medicine Residency..and no I did not get the jab and I, warned patients, family, and friends against it. For that matter, John was incredibly ignorant/uninformed about the dangers of all vaccines. All…
I think people confuse vegan with eating plant-based. You weren’t vegan if you ever stop being vegan. Unless you one day woke up and were like “you know what? F-- the animals!”. Vegan is a movement, whereas plant based is just a diet. Veganism is the movement + plant based diet. That’s the difference.

@@ThatVeganTeacherTH-cam I am not vegan, currently. I done ate my quota, hurt my body, and can no longer consume veg or grains, but I still have great respect for Chef AJ, and she is lovely and awesome!
@@11235Aodh I appreciate your comment! Truly! I started there!! And I failed, as with my particular situation, 🙃 of mold damage and yeast overgrowth leading to IBS, gastritis, a ridiculous level of inflamation, and being chained to the toilet, I had to look for other solutions. It was a good lesson for me to take heed on what my body was telling me, and pay attention to what effects foods were having. The starch solution kind of doesn't work when one ages into arthritis symptoms, then learns that cutting out potatoes eliminates much of that. Anyway, the yeast in my gut prevents me from being able to digest grains at this stage of life. Even though I can't eat their way, I used to, and I love Dr. McDougall and Chef AJ. My body just can't eat that way anymore.
Chef AJ said she was diagnosed about 2 years ago with Stage 1 lung cancer and chose not to have the recommended surgery, which likely would have been curative. Now it’s Stage 3 with metastasis. Fear and anxiety were/are her biggest enemies. At age 62 when she was diagnosed she had a far better chance of long term survival than she does now. 😢 But certainly hoping for the best for her.
I've always said that I am not vegan for other people, I went vegan because of the facts and I didn't like suffering for my sake. Among other things I am Christian, I don't do yoga, etc, but that doesn't mean I should stop being vegan. 💚 People like Russell Brand are just about chasing approval and using that to gain some sort of power and influence. Also, PBN should do content on "do-gooder derogation". Perhaps y'all would understand better why if i say I'm plant based for health I'm being lauded, but when i say I'm vegan for the animals, all of a sudden, plants feel pain and sll sorts of arguments happen. Ricky Gervais is extremely lucky and privileged he can say he went vegan for ethical reasons because he's with mature company, the rest of us isn't so lucky.
Plant based for Health, the environment, and the animals. Whole Food Plant Based diets are still the best diet for your health. Anyone dismissing a WFPB doesn't know nutrition.
Chef AJ may not have any physical symptoms because of the plant based diet. I read a testimony about a vegan person who had a heart attack and survived. Didn't understand how they had a heart attack because of being a vegan. The doctor said that being vegan might be the reason they survived the heart attack.
“A very smart and well informed friend of mine started following Dr Paul Mason a few years back, and was inspired to reject medical orthodoxy, go full carnivore, and rationalize her sky-high cholesterol. Her calcium score was zero, which was encouraging, and she wasn’t eating any carbs to glycate her blood lipids. Nevertheless, as medical orthodoxy would have predicted, she is now fighting for her life in intensive care following a sudden heart attack. Let it be a warning if your lipid scores are off the charts.” rdnzl
To be fair to Chef AJ, if you listsen to the complete story, there was a small spot in her lung that they were watching for 2 years. It was too small to biopsy. They didn't know what it was. So IT TURNS OUT that there was a small cancerous spot that got bigger and that's how they knew, then, to get the blood test that showed cancer antibodies. So the bottom line is that she did not know for 2 years that she had cancer. The confirmation of cancer was only just very recent. So let's be fair and not 'pile on' with critique.
She also said it was recommended two years ago to have surgery but she didn't due to fear of anesthesia. I like chef aj and wish her the best She did know and didn't follow recommended treatment, now she is planning to get treatment because it is so bad now
Sometimes it's just for health, and we're only human. We still live where water, soil workplaces and the air are contaminated. And as you said, genes play a role. We don't all expect to live to a healthy 100. Food industry, politics and legislation makes this harder.
I'd like to agree that "our emotional ENERGY bodies, and our "mental, spiritual energy bodies " also contribute to specific and general illnesses experiences. My experiences with acupuncture, Donna Eden Energy Medicine, EFT , and Spiritual healing methods have shown me that illness has multiple causal factors. Having said that, reducing food and environmental causes is ground 1. So I have adopted a lo fat, WHOLE FOOD diet . It is the easiest aspect to control). If Qi energy flows freely without obstruction (from toxic physical, emotional/mental sources), we heal.
Dear Vegans, 🌱 When vystopia hurts and doubt whispers in your ear, drown it out with the sound of your activism. 🌱 You’re not defined by your failures but by your ability to rise over and over again to defend the innocent animal victims. 🌱 Each challenge you face is an opportunity to grow stronger and wiser and for your skin to get thicker. 🌱 Embrace the struggle, for it’s in those moments that you discover just how unstoppable you truly are. Veganly yours, Miss Kadie

Russell's old videos of spirituality and veganism were his best years. Then he became a sort of weird right wing anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist. Not to mention the allegations and his association with Trump has really tainted my opinion of him.
Anybody who is critical of the vaccines still gets the label right wing anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist. There is simply no excuse for being this ill informed years after the pandemic.. 😬
Brand is as deep as a puddle. His veganism/spirituality was never real. Not a good person. Ricky Gervais will never waver, I think, and that’s because he’s guided by principles and ethics, not trends, popularity, likes & clicks.

The environmental impact on our health is amazingly high these days and continues to be a larger impact every year. Living in the city, around cars where exhaust is always around never is good for you.
Not forgetting the shampoo's , gels , perfumes , body sprays & deodrants with toxic chemicals , 'beauty ' products , household cleaners , the household scent oils & sprays , scented candles , the additives they put in foods ( even plant based / " so-called healthy ) , the non-stick pans with dangerous coatings, the plastic containers with PFOAS , medications ( not least the recent medical intervention ) .. etc etc etc. And , dare I mention the copious amounts of pesticides sprayed on genetically modified plant foods ( which is all of them! ) ?
I feel for anyone living with Cancer. Lung cancer in women is on the increase. Lots of people don't realise that log burners, open fires, and burning candles in the home can cause lung cancer. So important to understand PM2.5 levels in the home because it is a silent killer.

Been vegan for 12 years and I’m done with Vegans and veganism, it’s a dogma, and cultish… not eating animal products but I’m out of the movement, there’s a dark trauma to the whole thing combined with a fetishization of animal death and a downplaying of the actual violence humans do to each other
So, what isn't? What does that have to do with you. Wake up. There is no "movement." ... just a bunch of losers eating dead rotting flesh like zombies. THAT is the cult. You are weak.
the main problem is no-one likes being confronted with their own selfishness and violation of others so the simple rational argument is quickly deliberately buried in anyway the meat eater can
Was vegan for 8 years. No matter how many non heme iron sources I tried, My HCT and iron levels got continually lower. I’ve had to return to meat to function, despite agreeing with the vegan philosophy. Not everyone can be vegan.
There is no such a thing as perfect diet for everybody. You have to lisent to your body reaction on diferent diet and than decide. I was vegetarian for 10 years and when started eating meat and less pasta and brads I lost waith and felt more energy for physical activities
Vegans who eats alot of grain and Starch are not healthy either. The fact that you feel better is that you cut them out from your diet but it doesn't mean that meat isn't doing the harm to your body , it takes up to 20 years or may be more when you are diagnosed with cancer if not dead yet by heart attack
Great content. Thanks for this. I remember my sister once, referring to her daughter said "Yeah she used to eat vegan but thank goodness she now eats 'normally' again"..... need I say more....
I have been a vegan for nearly 28 years. I would like to speak to the comments that vegans feel their diets are superior or that their choices are superior… as if there is anything wrong with that. Clearly, if I have been eating vegan for 28 years, I feel that it is an optimal or “superior” lifestyle choice. I obviously choose to live vegan because it is morally and ethically superior. Typically human beings strive to make superior choices, not inferior ones. So I don’t feel inclined to apologize for using my own discernment to make these choices for myself. I am not typically a “ preachy” vegan, I respect people’s right to choose their sacred relationship to what they put in their own bodies. For myself, I believe the most powerful form of advocacy is through embodying my highest ideals, and beliefs. Through demonstration and right action I affect the quantum field and influence the world around me. When it comes to the ideas of veganism and superiority, it usually isn’t coming from me, it’s coming from the people who witnessed me because in my strong convictions they feel that it somehow makes them wrong so they feel the need to be defended. This isn’t about me. It’s about them, and I am not responsible for their emotional reactions to my food choices.
And there are people who think it's okay to smoke..it can literally devastate your whole life..your family. I remember this person saying..no matter what we do , we are gonna die..so why care.. He even said that the quest for more years will never end. If we lived to 100s ..will be wanting to live to 200s.. But was this entirely correct.. No. I don't wanna live a long life.. I want to live a long, healthy and happy life. And he couldn't understand this until he was the sufferer.. he did not suffer lung cancer.. he didn't suffer liver cirrhosis.. he might in the future but why is he constantly encouraging people to smoke and drink. We didn't live this long in the past. This wasn't normal in the past. But can you imagine not living to atleast 80 now? My landlady is already in her mid 70s. She isn't very healthy (didn't drink or smoke becuz it's not the norm here but she did eat a lot of butter and sugar.) . Had her valves changed and stents placed 10 year ago but constantly checks with doctor.. just to make sure that she isn't dying any time soon. Life is too short. We need time to earn money and then enjoy it with your family.we will all go one day .. But i wouldn't wanna cut it short..
I’m 64 now, but well into adulthood I was around a smoking environment the worst being on nights out and smoking being allowed in pubs and nightclubs. I still remember the stench that would cling to my hair and clothes.
Lots of people have recovered from late stage cancer. There is a whole book dedicated to the subject called 'Radical remission' by Kelly A Turner. I have no idea what kind of diet is discussed in the book, but healing or illness is not fully determined by diet anyway. Although I believe it can help tremendously. An over looked factor, however, is your BELIEFS about diet can influence how you react to food too. I imagine there are lots of miraculous stories around about healing from all sorts of diseases.
What about anti-parasitics. A lot of research is showing parasites and parasitic sacs look identical to cancer tumors. Parasitic detoxification can possibly eliminate cancer.
Please can you share the reference for the article in the Journal of Nutrition plant v beef based proteins, I did not catch the t Full title nor the authors. Many thanks.
I hope the study will start to change things! I get so aggravated at these bowl restaurant that don’t include their beans as a protein. If you go to Bolay , Fresh Market or Cava please let them know that beans are a plant based protein (they make you pay more for an extra veg and label animals as the only protein). These restaurants have a huge influence on people’s perceptions.

19:40 so right. The truth and believability of someone beliefs is reflected mostly in their behaviour, the end symptom of their thinking. It shows other people the hierarchy of their belief system based of their values. People might say, think and believe a certain idea, thing or behaviours but consistency of core believes is shown in our deeds.
Thank you so much for advocating for Chef AJ! That is what seperates the people telling the truth and those trying to manipulate people for their own financial gain.
I've been vegan for 35 years and was diagnosed stage 4b with a very rare thymic carcinoma 3 years ago - also just after my vaccine! The cancer was clearly growing before i took the vaccine.. Probably i drank too much and occasionally smoked. Still it is frustrating that it goes against the narrative of vegan being cancer free.
I'm sorry that you have been through this. But we should remember that there are different kind of veganism. Raw vegan with mostly fruit is the healthiest. Being vegan doesn't mean it's a healthy life style since you can be vegan and eat alot if vegan processed food that leads to cancer, you can be vegan and eat alot of starch and get pneumonia,...
@suzannepurple there certainly are a variety of vegans! I've never gone for the processed stuff - I'd prefer to eat rice and beans! Unfortunately these processed vegan alternatives are often the only thing on the menu.
Lets be more empathetic with humans as with animals!! Chef AJ is brave and real! Love her even more! ❤ I hope she gets through this! She can! May God help her! And lets be realistic, take life as it is, not hide the truth of what happens to us people. That is love truly.
I agree we all come from many different diet camps and should be kind to one another .one thing during this interview if a person wants to change their eating program it shouldn't be made to feel they are wrong. We all change from time to time in life. Just love one another. We all have different views. There are many healings from both veg and animal diets. Its cutting out all the junk. We shouldn't turn our eating into such a religion we harm others with words.
Some foods have many victims. 85 billion sentient land animals and about 1 trillion fish lose their lives because of people's diets every year. Is it fair to harm other beings because of our food choices in a world, where the majority of us can pick and choose between so very many plant based options?
@@piaogilvie8463 Oh, of course, because we humans are just so superior that we get to decide which life forms are sentient. Nothing screams "I'm better than everyone else" quite like flaunting our selective empathy. 🙄
@@piaogilvie8463 You use animal products from the same animals I eat. Care to show a healthy plants only diet study? We both know you won't. Why do you use animal products needlessly (that means possible and practicable to avoid) while only pretending to be against it?
@@SteversChed Vegans don't intentionally exploit and harm animals. As for studies there are many regarding plant based diets. Google your question and there'll be lots for you to read. If I write the web pages, this comment will get deleted.
@@piaogilvie8463 Can't show a healthy plants only diet study then? Kind of a trick question anyway...there is no healthy plants only diet studies. Just plant based studies that include synthetic substances and/or processed fortified foods. One of the most studied long term plant based diets includes fish, eggs, meat, and dairy with plants as the base. The Mediterranean diet if you're curious. Many things are made with animal products. Asphalt, some types of currency, motor vehicles, electronics with processors, some housing materials, etc... How did you needlessly (that means possible and practicable to avoid) respond without using something with a processor? Smoke signals? Thanks for the easy win and your concession due to your evasion.
@@ThatVeganTeacherTH-cam Keeping the masses on side AND getting the message out there requires nuance and intelligence. He is doing a very good job while being between a rock and a hard place. I thought you of all people might be able to recognise and appreciate that.
I went plant based in 1974 because it was clear to me as a 16 year old that the way humans were procuring animal products would one day lead to environmental catastrophe. I was 100% correct. I went vegan in 1993 after learning how cruel the dairy industry was to cows and further considering that this industry was also big enough to contribute to environmental issues. The legacy of my decisions has been very robust health and no nasty conditions but not perfect health, which nobody can expect to have. I will continue to maintain that the most destructive industries on this earth are animal agriculture and industrial fishing. Both are also inherently cruel. Humans can have much better health outcomes on the whole if we go plant based and the numbers prove this but don’t expect this to be true for everyone because we’re all exposed to many factors. There is also the matter of global food injustice created by those awful industries and when we consider these and the trivial benefits of eating animal products, plant based living is still the sensible and ethical path for every human to adopt or at least gravitate towards. The words and actions of uneducated loud mouths and village idiots of various political persuasions on various media platforms mean nothing in the face of reason and evidence.
In my mid to late 60's. I've been Vegan for 13 years and a vegetarian for 15 years before that. I did it for moral reason's only and I'm definitely not left leaning politically. It seems some people now days do it as a fad. I was warned by family and friends early on that this lifestyle will ruin my health. So far I've come to believe that it has actually enhanced my health. I believe that all animals are sentient beings just like us who feel physical pain and experience happiness, joy, fear and sadness just like us. They just lack our level of intelligence which is ironic because we humans seem to be so self destructive.
Chef AJ came from a heavy smoking household and then smoked for a while herself. She has dealt with chronic asthma her entire life. This is sincerely not a shocker and she is probably doing as well as she is because of her diet and lifestyle today. Go, Chef AJ! 💚💚💚
She's also probably post meno and hormonal instability can cause cancer too. She could be on HRT which can accelerate cancer cells that were undetected.

What broke my cognitive dissonance was when a bird flew into my window and was stunned. I was convinced it would die and it was all my fault. I cried for over an hour. Then i went back into my house where i had been about to eat chicken when the bird hit my window. I just looked at it and was like why is that bird so much more important to me than this one? It's been a bumpy road but I'm still trying every day to be better.
I felt the same years ago when I was criticizing Koreans for eating dogs and then I inner stood that all animals are just like us. Pigs, cows, turkeys, baby lambs, and the lust goes on. I real eyesd that I was a hypocrite. Then I saw a movie that showed a couple of scenes of an abattoir and it scarred me, I broke down sobbing. That was the day before thanksgiving seven years ago. I only wished I’d transitioned sooner
As for those vegans that get very sick there is healthy vegan and massive junk food vegan
Obviously we k is which one is the true source to inner being
Much love everyone
Be gentle with others as this helps animals better, to be the change and walk the walk and gently others will see

I had a similar experience. So now I'm vegan for the animals for fifteen years.
I once saw a chicken eat a piece of chicken. I thought:: if the chicken doesn't care about eating her brother, why should I get all twisted up about eating the same chicken. It was a very eye opening moment.
@agreeablegraylife the difference is you are aware and it is not necessary for survival. Also the chicken didn't keep that other chicken in torturous conditions for it's entire life. Mostly it's a personal decision so if you don't care then you do you.

She's been living with lung cancer for two years and my cousin and aunt who both had it, died within six months and they were heavy meat eaters. In fact, my cousin took his doctors advice to 'make sure you get lots of protein' and he ate a pound of bacon a day! He died very soon after diagnoses. Couple months after.
It depends on what type of lung cancer you have. The small cell carcinoma, which is the most aggressive, has a very poor prognosis. Staging matters too. Stage 4 is the worst.
Being vegan is no guarantee of total health but it sure improves your odds of being healthy! Humans can still fall ill of many diseases 😊
Yep. I don't know anyone who thinks being veganism makes you some sort of Highlander but it gives you better odds for a longer healthspan.
@@ellydavis2066 On the other hand, people believe that about the 'carnivore' diet, lol
I agree and that's only if you're a WFPB Vegan. If you eat ultra processed food all the time eg all the meat replacements etc, I don't think you're much better off at all. I'd say her WFPB diet just means she has a better chance of kicking it but sadly no guarantee 😥😥
Vegan for the animals 💚

@@sjs1555 it's actually not tho. Eating a plant based diet with low animal products reduces disease, including the ones he's listed.

Interesting to me, I was the only one in the group who felt strong and healthy through everything. I had no side effects, no fatigue, nothing, and my cancer was terminated. I know this is my experience, however my doctors noticed the difference as well. I agree with you, I think food is our medicine as well.
Same here. Just found out yesterday that I had a heart attack at some point and have heart damage. If I hadn’t gone vegan 10 years ago, I’m sure I’d be dead already.

Vegan is not a diet,it is a philosophy and way of living that chooses not to exploit animals in any way !
Plant based doesn't mean that one is vegan.
You can be plant based but still participate in exploiting/ abusing animals.
It could be said the other way too, that vegans are concerned about animals, but they don’t care that much about personal health. They eat junk food, pastries, pasta (processed food), drink alcohol, and really don’t follow nutritional plant-based practices.
Yes, I was plant based for 2 years until I found out that it's extremely unhealthy :)
@ You are believing fake news. Check out Dr. Fuhrman and Dr. Greger. I have been nutritarian (Fuhrman’s term) for over 15 years, and my blood numbers are perfect and I have the blood pressure of a healthy 18 year old. I am 73. There are so many kinds of unhealthy veganism. Fuhrman and Greger are crystal clear with their recommendations, and I follow them to the letter. No added sugar, salt or oil. No frankenfoods. Only real fresh fruits, fresh or cooked vegetables, nuts and seeds for essential oils, and cooked mushrooms. I have grown my own sprouts and microgreens for many years, and I have hundreds of pounds of dry beans from around the world in my garage. I cook a pot of beans from dry beans every week. No canned food, no processed food, no sugar water, no alcohol. Also, daily intermittent fasting is important and also going regularly (every 2 to 3 days) to a gym for a strenuous aerobic workout. Good health does not come easy!! Like anything of value, it takes work to achieve it.
@@Meathead-10810 very risky to go plant based if you don't want to give up high blood pressure, stroke,diabetes, heart disease, obesity, cancer,arthritis, osteoporosis etc etc !
Almost no-one's vegan. Keeping pets is exploiting animals for company/affection, even if you got your pet as a "rescue".
I got lung cancer and I do not smoke. (I am also a vegan) I worked in a room that had asbestos tables and walls because I was doing metal smithing. My parents also smoked 9 packs of cigarettes a day between them. My dad developed lung cancer as well, but he was much older. I am also an RN. It took me one year to get diagnosed. I was refused a CT scan even though I was coughing up blood and was short of breath. I had a couple chest xrays. I thought it looked like adenocarcinoma, and the radiologist agreed, but I was in Texas, working at Scott and White, who would not let me see a real doctor, nor have a CT, and I had their insurance!!! Anyway, wound up losing both lungs on my left side and the whole base of my right lung. Stage 3 cancer. Vegans get cancer, nonsmokers get cancer, runners get heart attacks, people who don't drink can get pancreatic cancer. We should not judge. (btw, still working as a nurse, still exercising and still a vegan. The quality of my life is pretty good. That picture of me in the was 2 years ago when I was just 60. So I am adding Chef AJ to my prayers.
Thank you for sharing.
Russell Brand is a sell out and an unprincipled…individual. I hope chef AJ recovers.
I stopped watching him when he took no accountability for being with a 17 year old when he was a 30 year man. Yes, it was (barely) legal but how creepy is that? I think he has a few daughters himself now, would he be okay with some 30 year old sniffing around them when they were barely legal? And given his promiscuity, there is a good chance he has some sort of STD - did he pass it on to her? She's was young, she wouldn't even think to protect herself...it's just gross on so many levels. So much for all his chitchat about working the 10 steps, taking responsibility for hurting others and so on...

About Chef AJ having cancer: What is so infuriating in this carnist society is that everything vegan has to be perfection.
Example 1: The fitness world is full of steroid use and protein shakes. If a vegan use steroid and/or protein shakes it's because of "flawed diet".
Example 2: The omnivorous eating patterns cause massive amounts of deforestation and animals deaths. But vegans get accused of animals deaths and hypocrisy because of supposed "crop deaths", even though everything that is a problem in a vegan food system is massively bigger in an omnivorous food system.
Example 3 (which relates to Chef AJ:s situation): The most common causes of death are cardiovascular disease and cancer. Most of the people getting these disease eat a non-vegan diet. But if a vegan gets a disease like this, then the diet is to blame.
Societal norms, marketing and peer pressure sure make people stupid.
Vegans get that negative criticism (Example 2) because they always tell others to be ethical and not kill animals.
That IS EXTREMELY hypocritical and how can vegans expect anyone to take them seriously after that?
I certainly can't so vegans become a laughing stock and the butt of jokes.

Brand is a good example of why to avoid celebrities for what they say about "veganism". Celebrities are addicted to attention and will say anything to get it.
When I first became vegan in 1991 at 13, I had Peter Singer's Animal Liberation book, Gandhi's autobiography - and my little dog who lived on sweet potatoes and peas by choice and eventually died at 17yo. That's it. It was never about health, never about looks. It was a moral choice.
I think the problem with kids and young folk now (not going to include Brand, he's a nutter) is that they are constantly being asked to ignore their morals and ethics. From where their clothes are made, to the cars they drive, to their environmental impact. It's too much, and they end up turning away from everything. They know all the problems, they're aware of everything, and it all becomes too much for them.
@Denidrakes69 seems to me, the biggest resisters are older people who refuse to change.
And why is he followed-by whom? He's going to move where he can get new attention.
hope chef AJ gets better ❤️ love her! so grateful for her!!
The reason why I started eating a Vegan/WFPB diet was because I have terrible genes. Between them, my parents had the four main killers: Cancer, Heart disease, Diabetes, and Alzheimer's.
That's quite the bingocard indeed.
Check out metabolic therapy for cancer. Lot's of info online from highly credible mainstream medical. Metabolic theory may be the missing link for diet and cancer.
All these diseases are primarily metabolic not genetic. Check out metabolic health videos
@@douglascutler1037 Yes for sure, dr. Peter Rogers has a whole slew of lectures of this and it's working with our mitochondria.
You do not have terrible genes. Genes are either expressed or suppressed depending on your environment and what you consume. Some people do have worse genes than others or remarkably better genes than others but in general it is how you nurture those genes
Russell Brand recently got baptised, I thought he would have watched Christspiracy and that would make him want to be vegan more, he was vegetarian in the 1980s when it wasn’t easy or popular so it’s quite a shock that he would go back to eating meat.
He's a very, very strange man.
I don’t think vegans (not all vegans) eat that healthy. Oreo cookies, French fries, chips, impossible burgers are vegan. They eat a lot of chemicals, ultra processed foods, oils in foods. Most of those nut milks are full of oils that cause inflammation. Just because it says vegan doesn’t make it healthy. Chef AJ changed, went whole food, plant based only 5 years ago. There are so many toxins in our environment that cause diseases. I appreciate Chef AJ for her honesty. I love how she has brought awareness to trying to be healthy., weight loss and taking back her power with learning more on how to take better care of herself. She’s brought some great guests of doctors on her podcast to bring awareness. That’s how I found out about Dr. Brooke Goldner. Dr. Alan Goldhamer.
Oreo themselves claim their cookies could have cross contact with dairy.
Those burgers use an additive that was tested on animals.
In truth, they are all fine with using animal products. They only pretend to be against it.
I watched him being interviewed by Joe Rogan - who is completely anti-vegan - and he seemed to cave under the pressure of Rogan’s propaganda. He also had a hard time standing up for his Vegan lifestyle in an interview with Jordan Peterson who pushes carnism. Seems to be caving to peer pressure 🙄
Joe Rogan is hardly a man of science. More than once he's been caught advancing pure misinformation on his show only to be corrected on the spot by producers who feared consequences.
He loves Joe Rogan, so no surprise there.
I am sure I have cancer cells in my body, maybe since young age. But who cares, I focus on being healthier and happier every day.
When I had cancer I imagined being cured, and then being hit by a bus. Ha ha ha I think this way because it helps me keep things in perspective and stay in the now as much as possible. I am cancer free and I haven't been hit by a bus... Yet 😂
Well said🌱🌟
We all have cancer cells in our bodies. It's just a crap shoot that depends on lifestyles, smoking and eating habits are mitigating factors as to whether or not it takes off.
Thank you so much Plant Based News, in 2020 one of your videos popped into my algorhythm even though I hadn't watched any vegan-themed videos before. I watched and listened and I switched to a whole food plant based diet. I lost all my excess weight, overcome my bingeing disorder that had plagued me for decades since age 12, and I have stayed slim ever since. My life was not worth living before, now I'm healthy, happy with my body and age 58 I look better in clothes than I've ever done, I love being stylish, fashionable, slim and most of all healthy. I love animals and helping them and the planet in my small way.

so disappointed with Russell ..cant rely on celebrities they are too susceptible to the compulsion of mind ...his wife has never been vegan so his children probably aren't ..i bet big family and friend pressure ..his new friends like jfk are very pro meat eating ..so sad to me ..the animals are sacrificed for all these egos
Curious as well, because listening to dr. Peter Rogers explain all the pitfalls of animal products leads me to no other conclusion that they are unhealthy without exception.
Never liked Russel Brand even with him being vegan, never thought he was funny, he always looked desperate and anxious to get laughs every minute. I couldn’t care less that he’s no longer vegan, if not for the fact that other people do look up to him. But he’s always been trash in my book, now he’s even worse trash.

Stress is one of the big creators of inflammation in the body.
Interesting, I'm a retired Certified Nursing Assistant/HHS/PC. I worked in hospitals, private duty and and nursing facilities. I had many clients who lived to their late 80:s to over100. My oldest clients were 102 103, two were 105, 107, 112 snd 113 respectively. And many in there 90's and late 80's. A few of them were cancer survivors. Two of them had both breasts removed. Some outlived their children and spouses. The one who lived to 107 had a granddaughter who had cancer. I don't know what happened to her granddaughter if she survived the treatments or not. That was the downside they said of living so long. They didn't eat any particular strict diet. In my own family my mom died of cancer however my dad smoked, she was exposed to second hand smoke over the years so maybe that was how she got cancer. Her grandma lived to 102. My 112 year old had his own garden and ate from it but he wasn't vegan or vegetarian. He was living on his own until he turned 104, he had fallen and didn't want to live alone any more. He was a very down to earth positive kinda man. Thanks for the informative video. An educated consumer is the best customer.
HHA/PCT typo. My little lady who lived to 105 was British so not all were from U. S. Less processed foods and slightly less pollution as and the type of stress and definitely not as sedentary as we've become over the decades I'm thinking. Three of my own children have had cancer scares. My daughter had six pullups removed in 2019, my other daughter had a lump on her breast and my youngest son had a lump on his chest, well you can't say breast he didn't like that term. They put a tube to suction out the fluid. They have to have a cancer check every year. So far they're clear. Again, thanks for the information.
Often times they had years of hard work, non processed food and were grateful and did not eat much only what they needed. That generation had respect for the land do not gorge on high fructose corn syrup, fast food, and pizza.
Did she get the jab?
That’s what I think. Dr. McDougall did and encouraged others to do so. 😢
Exactly. And then McDougall family silence. Why did they not get an autopsy? What were they hiding? Unacceptable, and yes I am a physician who completed an elective rotation with Dr McDougall during my Internal Medicine Residency..and no I did not get the jab and I, warned patients, family, and friends against it. For that matter, John was incredibly ignorant/uninformed about the dangers of all vaccines. All…
I think people confuse vegan with eating plant-based. You weren’t vegan if you ever stop being vegan. Unless you one day woke up and were like “you know what? F-- the animals!”. Vegan is a movement, whereas plant based is just a diet. Veganism is the movement + plant based diet. That’s the difference.

@@agreeablegraylife I'd advise you to try and fix your microbiome. The best way i found to do this is by dr. John mcDougall's elimination diet.
@@11235Aodh I appreciate your comment! Truly! I started there!! And I failed, as with my particular situation, 🙃 of mold damage and yeast overgrowth leading to IBS, gastritis, a ridiculous level of inflamation, and being chained to the toilet, I had to look for other solutions. It was a good lesson for me to take heed on what my body was telling me, and pay attention to what effects foods were having. The starch solution kind of doesn't work when one ages into arthritis symptoms, then learns that cutting out potatoes eliminates much of that. Anyway, the yeast in my gut prevents me from being able to digest grains at this stage of life. Even though I can't eat their way, I used to, and I love Dr. McDougall and Chef AJ. My body just can't eat that way anymore.
Chef AJ said she was diagnosed about 2 years ago with Stage 1 lung cancer and chose not to have the recommended surgery, which likely would have been curative. Now it’s Stage 3 with metastasis. Fear and anxiety were/are her biggest enemies. At age 62 when she was diagnosed she had a far better chance of long term survival than she does now. 😢 But certainly hoping for the best for her.
I've always said that I am not vegan for other people, I went vegan because of the facts and I didn't like suffering for my sake.

People like Russell Brand are just about chasing approval and using that to gain some sort of power and influence.
Also, PBN should do content on "do-gooder derogation". Perhaps y'all would understand better why if i say I'm plant based for health I'm being lauded, but when i say I'm vegan for the animals, all of a sudden, plants feel pain and sll sorts of arguments happen.

Chef AJ may not have any physical symptoms because of the plant based diet. I read a testimony about a vegan person who had a heart attack and survived. Didn't understand how they had a heart attack because of being a vegan. The doctor said that being vegan might be the reason they survived the heart attack.
“A very smart and well informed friend of mine started following Dr Paul Mason a few years back, and was inspired to reject medical orthodoxy, go full carnivore, and rationalize her sky-high cholesterol. Her calcium score was zero, which was encouraging, and she wasn’t eating any carbs to glycate her blood lipids. Nevertheless, as medical orthodoxy would have predicted, she is now fighting for her life in intensive care following a sudden heart attack.

To be fair to Chef AJ, if you listsen to the complete story, there was a small spot in her lung that they were watching for 2 years. It was too small to biopsy. They didn't know what it was. So IT TURNS OUT that there was a small cancerous spot that got bigger and that's how they knew, then, to get the blood test that showed cancer antibodies. So the bottom line is that she did not know for 2 years that she had cancer. The confirmation of cancer was only just very recent. So let's be fair and not 'pile on' with critique.
She also said it was recommended two years ago to have surgery but she didn't due to fear of anesthesia.
I like chef aj and wish her the best
She did know and didn't follow recommended treatment, now she is planning to get treatment because it is so bad now
Sometimes it's just for health, and we're only human. We still live where water, soil workplaces and the air are contaminated. And as you said, genes play a role. We don't all expect to live to a healthy 100. Food industry, politics and legislation makes this harder.
I'd like to agree that "our emotional ENERGY bodies, and our "mental, spiritual energy bodies " also contribute to specific and general illnesses experiences. My experiences with acupuncture, Donna Eden Energy Medicine, EFT , and Spiritual healing methods have shown me that illness has multiple causal factors. Having said that, reducing food and environmental causes is ground 1.
So I have adopted a lo fat, WHOLE FOOD diet . It is the easiest aspect to control).
If Qi energy flows freely without obstruction (from toxic physical, emotional/mental sources), we heal.
I love the honesty in the section highlighting Chef AJ
Dear Vegans,
🌱 When vystopia hurts and doubt whispers in your ear, drown it out with the sound of your activism.
🌱 You’re not defined by your failures but by your ability to rise over and over again to defend the innocent animal victims.
🌱 Each challenge you face is an opportunity to grow stronger and wiser and for your skin to get thicker.
🌱 Embrace the struggle, for it’s in those moments that you discover just how unstoppable you truly are.
Veganly yours,
Miss Kadie
Love it, dear! 💚💚💚
You are beautiful. Period!
Care to show a healthy plants only diet study?
We both know you won't.
Why do you use animal products needlessly (that means possible and practicable to avoid) while only pretending to be against it?
Russell's old videos of spirituality and veganism were his best years. Then he became a sort of weird right wing anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist. Not to mention the allegations and his association with Trump has really tainted my opinion of him.
You can be a Trump supporter and still be Vegan....
Anybody who is critical of the vaccines still gets the label right wing anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist.
There is simply no excuse for being this ill informed years after the pandemic.. 😬
Need to work on your radar Zeeko, he's rubbed me the wrong way since day one and none of this surprised me about him.
Russell is just a grifter
Brand is as deep as a puddle. His veganism/spirituality was never real. Not a good person. Ricky Gervais will never waver, I think, and that’s because he’s guided by principles and ethics, not trends, popularity, likes & clicks.
I thought Brand was a free thinker, a revolutionary soul-it’s beyond disappointing that he has left the movement. #veganfortheanimals

We may vegan but we are still human and we are not invincible.
Vegans eating lot's of sugars, carbs and starches from ANY source may still be vulnerable to cancer which feeds on blood glucose and also amino acid glutamine. Check out metabolic therapy for cancer, the NEW HOPE for cancer therapy.
Lot's of great info online from highly credible mainstream medical and science researchers. Aka, mitochondrial metabolic therapy. Metabolic therapy can be used both as a cancer preventative or as a COMPLIMENT to mainstream cancer therapy.
The environmental impact on our health is amazingly high these days and continues to be a larger impact every year. Living in the city, around cars where exhaust is always around never is good for you.
Not forgetting the shampoo's , gels , perfumes , body sprays & deodrants with toxic chemicals , 'beauty ' products , household cleaners , the household scent oils & sprays , scented candles , the additives they put in foods ( even plant based / " so-called healthy ) , the non-stick pans with dangerous coatings, the plastic containers with PFOAS , medications ( not least the recent medical intervention ) .. etc etc etc. And , dare I mention the copious amounts of pesticides sprayed on genetically modified plant foods ( which is all of them! ) ?
The recent medical experiment with zero liability to Pharma targeted existing weaknesses in the body.
I feel for anyone living with Cancer. Lung cancer in women is on the increase. Lots of people don't realise that log burners, open fires, and burning candles in the home can cause lung cancer. So important to understand PM2.5 levels in the home because it is a silent killer.
What is PM2.5 LEVEL?
Im Strong Healthy Muscle (111 kg ,6 feet) Fit Vegan for 13 years now and Wegetarian for 34 years sińce i was teenager!!! All The Blessing from Lechistan called now Poland (corporation name)
Keep doing the good job make sure iodine and vitamin d is in range
@suzannepurple no suplements. 99.9% of them just a placebo. Vitamin D is from The Sun. Plus Pineal Gland meditation early in The Morning from Dr Joe Dispenza work. Have you herd about him !??
Been vegan for 12 years and I’m done with Vegans and veganism, it’s a dogma, and cultish… not eating animal products but I’m out of the movement, there’s a dark trauma to the whole thing combined with a fetishization of animal death and a downplaying of the actual violence humans do to each other
Good 👍
So, what isn't? What does that have to do with you. Wake up. There is no "movement." ... just a bunch of losers eating dead rotting flesh like zombies. THAT is the cult. You are weak.
If you don't like dogma then just stick to looking at the actual science of vegan. Stanford Twin Study is a good place to start.
Good luck and good health to Chef AJ! Her diet will be of great help in her recovery.

So much love for Chef AJ. What courage❤
Vegan for the animals.That's all.
Exactly, because veganism is about not exploiting animals - it’s a lifestyle, not a diet.
the main problem is no-one likes being confronted with their own selfishness and violation of others so the simple rational argument is quickly deliberately buried in anyway the meat eater can
Was vegan for 8 years. No matter how
many non heme iron sources I tried,
My HCT and iron levels got continually lower. I’ve had to return to meat to function, despite agreeing with the vegan philosophy. Not everyone can be vegan.
Love to Chef Aj. Love her bravery.💚✨💚
I never seen this format by PBN, I like it.
There is no such a thing as perfect diet for everybody.
You have to lisent to your body reaction on diferent diet and than decide.
I was vegetarian for 10 years and when started eating meat and less pasta and brads I lost waith and felt more energy for physical activities
Vegans who eats alot of grain and Starch are not healthy either. The fact that you feel better is that you cut them out from your diet but it doesn't mean that meat isn't doing the harm to your body , it takes up to 20 years or may be more when you are diagnosed with cancer if not dead yet by heart attack
Good chat! The clip with Ricky Gervais was awesome 👏
I do enjoy hearing from Klaus.
Great content. Thanks for this. I remember my sister once, referring to her daughter said "Yeah she used to eat vegan but thank goodness she now eats 'normally' again"..... need I say more....
I have been a vegan for nearly 28 years. I would like to speak to the comments that vegans feel their diets are superior or that their choices are superior… as if there is anything wrong with that. Clearly, if I have been eating vegan for 28 years, I feel that it is an optimal or “superior” lifestyle choice. I obviously choose to live vegan because it is morally and ethically superior. Typically human beings strive to make superior choices, not inferior ones. So I don’t feel inclined to apologize for using my own discernment to make these choices for myself. I am not typically a “ preachy” vegan, I respect people’s right to choose their sacred relationship to what they put in their own bodies. For myself, I believe the most powerful form of advocacy is through embodying my highest ideals, and beliefs. Through demonstration and right action I affect the quantum field and influence the world around me. When it comes to the ideas of veganism and superiority, it usually isn’t coming from me, it’s coming from the people who witnessed me because in my strong convictions they feel that it somehow makes them wrong so they feel the need to be defended. This isn’t about me. It’s about them, and I am not responsible for their emotional reactions to my food choices.
And there are people who think it's okay to smoke..it can literally devastate your whole life..your family.
I remember this person saying..no matter what we do , we are gonna die..so why care..
He even said that the quest for more years will never end. If we lived to 100s ..will be wanting to live to 200s..
But was this entirely correct.. No.
I don't wanna live a long life.. I want to live a long, healthy and happy life.
And he couldn't understand this until he was the sufferer.. he did not suffer lung cancer.. he didn't suffer liver cirrhosis.. he might in the future but why is he constantly encouraging people to smoke and drink.
We didn't live this long in the past.
This wasn't normal in the past. But can you imagine not living to atleast 80 now? My landlady is already in her mid 70s. She isn't very healthy (didn't drink or smoke becuz it's not the norm here but she did eat a lot of butter and sugar.) . Had her valves changed and stents placed 10 year ago but constantly checks with doctor.. just to make sure that she isn't dying any time soon.
Life is too short. We need time to earn money and then enjoy it with your family.we will all go one day .. But i wouldn't wanna cut it short..
Well said! Thank you
I’m 64 now, but well into adulthood I was around a smoking environment the worst being on nights out and smoking being allowed in pubs and nightclubs. I still remember the stench that would cling to my hair and clothes.
Honesty is the best policy.
👍Yep! For me, WF omni. is the best diet.
thank you so much for all that you do
Lots of people have recovered from late stage cancer. There is a whole book dedicated to the subject called 'Radical remission' by Kelly A Turner. I have no idea what kind of diet is discussed in the book, but healing or illness is not fully determined by diet anyway. Although I believe it can help tremendously. An over looked factor, however, is your BELIEFS about diet can influence how you react to food too.
I imagine there are lots of miraculous stories around about healing from all sorts of diseases.
What about anti-parasitics. A lot of research is showing parasites and parasitic sacs look identical to cancer tumors. Parasitic detoxification can possibly eliminate cancer.
You can literally see the change in his face. He's looking old drawn and tired instead of his usual glowing youthful self.
I felt the same way and so grateful for this video!
Please can you share the reference for the article in the Journal of Nutrition plant v beef based proteins, I did not catch the t
Full title nor the authors. Many thanks.
I hope the study will start to change things! I get so aggravated at these bowl restaurant that don’t include their beans as a protein. If you go to Bolay , Fresh Market or Cava please let them know that beans are a plant based protein (they make you pay more for an extra veg and label animals as the only protein). These restaurants have a huge influence on people’s perceptions.
I hope that chef AJ beats the disease and spread her experience and skills with all of us for a very long time!
Being a vegan does not guarantee a cancer free life. No judgement.

Yes
What is the slab jab?
I want to thank you for all your sharing on this. And even if I wasn't trying to go Vegan/Plant Based, I like to learn new things that I don't know about and not judge others about what they are doing for them selves. For the animals, and my health. Thank you again P.S. I hope this is ok to ask, is there someplace that has all the "famous" people that are Plant Based?
Thanks, this was good! We can be Vegan & not shove it down peoples throats. I just order what I want to order & if someone’s curious, they’ll ask, as I think it should be with most things. Just live our lives & share what people ask about, if you’re comfortable to do so, when they ask🙏🏽💛💕
I'm a raw vegan, it works!!
Thank you so much for sharing. no one is above having a disease. but I believe the factor of being vegan makes things easier. because love prevails. Just love❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My take on being WFPB is that it just makes sense. What can be bad about eating lots of plants?
Not getting enough nutrients
@@Jodie-mastersonNope, we get more nutrients than everyone else!
@@Jodie-masterson Plants have far more nutrients than anything else. What nutrients are you referring to?
@@Jodie-mastersonwhat nutrients you get from meat?
Sending ❤ & 🙏🏻 to AJ
19:40 so right. The truth and believability of someone beliefs is reflected mostly in their behaviour, the end symptom of their thinking. It shows other people the hierarchy of their belief system based of their values.
People might say, think and believe a certain idea, thing or behaviours but consistency of core believes is shown in our deeds.
Thank you so much for advocating for Chef AJ! That is what seperates the people telling the truth and those trying to manipulate people for their own financial gain.

I just like that they published the protein study ALTHOUGH it might hurt the beef business. That's a change and good to see.
I've been vegan for 35 years and was diagnosed stage 4b with a very rare thymic carcinoma 3 years ago - also just after my vaccine! The cancer was clearly growing before i took the vaccine..
Probably i drank too much and occasionally smoked. Still it is frustrating that it goes against the narrative of vegan being cancer free.
I'm sorry that you have been through this. But we should remember that there are different kind of veganism. Raw vegan with mostly fruit is the healthiest. Being vegan doesn't mean it's a healthy life style since you can be vegan and eat alot if vegan processed food that leads to cancer, you can be vegan and eat alot of starch and get pneumonia,...
@suzannepurple there certainly are a variety of vegans! I've never gone for the processed stuff - I'd prefer to eat rice and beans! Unfortunately these processed vegan alternatives are often the only thing on the menu.
Damion Manders said it so Powerfully in his Ted talk
Lets be more empathetic with humans as with animals!!
Chef AJ is brave and real! Love her even more! ❤
I hope she gets through this! She can! May God help her!
And lets be realistic, take life as it is, not hide the truth of what happens to us people.
That is love truly.
I agree we all come from many different diet camps and should be kind to one another .one thing during this interview if a person wants to change their eating program it shouldn't be made to feel they are wrong. We all change from time to time in life. Just love one another. We all have different views. There are many healings from both veg and animal diets. Its cutting out all the junk. We shouldn't turn our eating into such a religion we harm others with words.
Some foods have many victims.
85 billion sentient land animals and about 1 trillion fish lose their lives because of people's diets every year.
Is it fair to harm other beings because of our food choices in a world, where the majority of us can pick and choose between so very many plant based options?
@@piaogilvie8463 Oh, of course, because we humans are just so superior that we get to decide which life forms are sentient. Nothing screams "I'm better than everyone else" quite like flaunting our selective empathy. 🙄
@@piaogilvie8463 You use animal products from the same animals I eat.

@@SteversChed
Vegans don't intentionally exploit and harm animals.
As for studies there are many regarding plant based diets.
Google your question and there'll be lots for you to read. If I write the web pages, this comment will get deleted.
@@piaogilvie8463 Can't show a healthy plants only diet study then?
Kind of a trick question anyway...there is no healthy plants only diet studies.
Just plant based studies that include synthetic substances and/or processed fortified foods.
One of the most studied long term plant based diets includes fish, eggs, meat, and dairy with plants as the base.
The Mediterranean diet if you're curious.
Many things are made with animal products.
Asphalt, some types of currency, motor vehicles, electronics with processors, some housing materials, etc...
How did you needlessly (that means possible and practicable to avoid) respond without using something with a processor? Smoke signals?
Thanks for the easy win and your concession due to your evasion.
how many C mRNA shots did Chef AJ take since 2021?
Ricky's a f@ckin' legend!
You sure about that? Don’t you think he could do sooooo much more?
@@ThatVeganTeacherTH-cam Keeping the masses on side AND getting the message out there requires nuance and intelligence. He is doing a very good job while being between a rock and a hard place. I thought you of all people might be able to recognise and appreciate that.
I went plant based in 1974 because it was clear to me as a 16 year old that the way humans were procuring animal products would one day lead to environmental catastrophe. I was 100% correct. I went vegan in 1993 after learning how cruel the dairy industry was to cows and further considering that this industry was also big enough to contribute to environmental issues. The legacy of my decisions has been very robust health and no nasty conditions but not perfect health, which nobody can expect to have. I will continue to maintain that the most destructive industries on this earth are animal agriculture and industrial fishing. Both are also inherently cruel. Humans can have much better health outcomes on the whole if we go plant based and the numbers prove this but don’t expect this to be true for everyone because we’re all exposed to many factors. There is also the matter of global food injustice created by those awful industries and when we consider these and the trivial benefits of eating animal products, plant based living is still the sensible and ethical path for every human to adopt or at least gravitate towards. The words and actions of uneducated loud mouths and village idiots of various political persuasions on various media platforms mean nothing in the face of reason and evidence.
In my mid to late 60's. I've been Vegan for 13 years and a vegetarian for 15 years before that. I did it for moral reason's only and I'm definitely not left leaning politically. It seems some people now days do it as a fad. I was warned by family and friends early on that this lifestyle will ruin my health. So far I've come to believe that it has actually enhanced my health. I believe that all animals are sentient beings just like us who feel physical pain and experience happiness, joy, fear and sadness just like us. They just lack our level of intelligence which is ironic because we humans seem to be so self destructive.
Your choice.
Being plant-based vegan is not a magic cloak. There are so many other factors, as you all say, environmental, stress, genetics, etc.
There has been rise in Turbo cancers from 2021. I guess it all depends what choice people made that year. It's all very clear to me.
Nobody ever said that vegans are immortal... i wish her all the best... still love her
