Hi David,
Thanks for writing. While I appreciate your encouragement
to “work harder to explain that a person would benefit…”Sorry, but my proselytizing days are over… haha.
If you’d met me 5 years ago I would have talked your ear off
about why I’ve found a plant-based diet makes sense, but I’ve
gotten a bit older, and now I just assume it’s common knowledge.
Even if it’s not.But yeah, do whatever makes you feel good. Different things work
for different people. I know guys eat pigs blood salads and say
it gives them energy. Go figure.I’m just some skinny guy on the internet;)
All the best,
Lucas

“… I don’t understand why asking people to eat a well-balanced vegetarian diet is considered drastic, while it is medically conservative to cut people open and put them on cholesterol-lowering drugs for the rest of their lives.” Dean Ornish, M.D. (Clinical Professor of Medicine at the UCSF)
in reply to: Heat reaction #4229Hi David,
Thanks for your comments above.
Vitamins and minerals are natural, so you can’t patent them,
which means no big pharmaceutical companies fund massive lab
tests for calcium or sulfur (MSM is essentially an organic form
of sulfur). What I find interesting is that people DO trust
medical “studies” of synthetic drugs when the whole purpose of
the study is to, well, sell the drug.I don’t like big business or big pharmaceuticals, and to be
perfectly honest, the FDA does a piss-poor job half the time.
Of course I follow US FDA guidelines for processing and
packaging, labeling, etc. .. and all that stuff is fine and good…
but I don’t even want to start listing the whacky/dangerous
stuff that’s been approved in the past.Enough ranting:) I appreciate your thoughts, and feel free
to write or call me directly if you like. I’m a busy guy,
but I’m easy to find.Thanks,
Lucas
