Animal Products

Q: Wayne, are animal foods really necessary to live a healthy diet? - Leigh S.

A: Yes and No. There are two sides to this story. Ideally I believe we are all meant to be vegetarians. 65% of the world population is vegetarian. But this is hardly an ideal world. I think there are certain people who need some animal products.

Here are the considerations for eating or needing animal products:
1. If one is stranded and there is nothing else to eat and life is dependant on food for survival.
2. If a vegetarian diet has not worked and there is a feeling of imbalance
3. After a long term illness accompanied by poor absorption/malnutrition.

It is estimated that genetically humans have changed only 2% since the time science world could measure. Unfortunately modern times have created a genetic weakening and very damaging era in our history. There are more and more diseases than ever. More and more unhealthy and sick people. More chemicals from personal care products, pesticides, air pollution and weakened immunity from poor diet, lack of exercise, poor emotional and spiritual challenge management, which long term suppresses the immune system.

Another area of serious concern is the weakening from vaccinations and immunizations.
Would anyone get cancer causing elements injected into their bodies? Vaccinations and immunizations can cause cancers, balding and weakened immune systems. They can contain the following:
1. Formaldehyde - a known cancer causing agent.
2. Ethylene glycol - this is what's in anti-freeze! ( I guess to keep warm in the winter months?)
3. Phenol - a dye and disinfectant.
4. Aluminum - an additive that is associated with Alzheimers, seizures, and produces cancers in laboratory mice.
5. Thimerosal - a mercury based disinfectant and preservative which can cause brain injury
6. Neomycin and streptomycin - antibiotics which can cause severe allergic reactions.

Vaccines are grown on animal tissues, such as monkey kidneys, chicken embryos, guinea pig cells or aborted human fetuses? Yuck! So please stay away from flu shots or any vaccinations. If one has a strong immune system one can avoid taking these harmful, deceptive immunizations. I can only recommend you get one of many books that discuss vaccines so you can see there are alternative ways to deal with this serious issue.

I can tell you stories of many people getting the flu shot and getting the flu. I have a close friend who received 5 inoculations in one day before she could travel, and she nearly died within minutes of getting them injected. Took her 14 years of being bedridden before she could work again! Homeopathics, herbs and a strong immune system can eliminate the need for taking them into our bodies.

Here is the point relating to animal foods.
The body takes up to 7 years to totally detoxify and rebuild itself. Our body can eliminate up to 60% of it's toxins within 3 weeks! But it can take up to 7 years to completely eliminate the rest.

Are animal products harmful? Can they make us healthy? Should we eat them? Is there a secret to consuming them? Yes!

I can tell you what I have personally experienced. I experimented with animal products and found some amazing information regarding their use. I do believe, that being vegetarian is our ideal, but there are long-lived cultures that do eat some animal foods and remain very healthy and live into their 90's, 100's and beyond. For 1.5 years, 2 years ago, I ate fish, cream, eggs, cheese, milk and sometimes beef at least 3 or more times a week. I checked my cholesterol before I started and checked it again after I stopped consuming these products. My whole life (now 39 years young!) I have had a very low cholesterol level of 2.7-3.1 Canadian or 104-120 U.S. After 1.5 years of eating animal products at least 3 times a week and going from a vegetarian and 90%+ raw diet, I actually dropped my cholesterol from 2.8 to 2.7!

So what causes cholesterol? How did I actually lower my cholesterol?
There are 6 very important things to note before consuming any animal products if you want them to rebuild the body and not make it toxic.

1. I would never recommend eating any animal products from a super market or restaurant (unless you know it's organic).
2. Do not overeat or consume more than 6 ounces of any type of animal product at any one meal, whether it is cheese or milk or meat. For eggs no more than 2-3 at one meal.
3. Only consume animal foods if you are having 2 or 3 good bowel movements a day.
4. Proper food combining is very important.

There are two more, absolutely crucial and important tips for consuming any animal products. I will be happy to reveal the secrets to regenerating your body with animal foods, to you either through our Life Extension or any one of our lectures or by calling and setting up a customized consultation. Please do not consume animal products unless you know these two very important considerations and you want to greatly improve your health.

The bottom line is sometimes we get ill and a vegetarian diet might not work in the short term. There is no one answer to all illnesses. There is no one person or method that works with every condition. The only thing that does make sense is that a healthy diet does correlate to a long life. No country that eats refined and excess cooked foods lives long, healthy, disease-free lives. So, more fresh and raw foods is certainly one important common factor for long, healthy life.

Only two questions/factors I can think of as to why animal foods, eaten with the six factors that I recommend work to rebuild the body.

1. Is it because the body can take up to 1.5 years to regain good intestinal absorption and liver function, so in a mean time we need the animal class of food nutrition? or
2. Is the person eating the proper balance of vegetarian foods?

The Forever Healthy 5 Minute Recipe System is a complete balanced food program for Vibrant Health Now. For those that believe in blood types, I can only say that I have not seen any statistical evidence that blood types diet work. Is it 50%? 90%? 10%?
I do, however feel there is some validity for blood type diet for those who choose to eat more than a 30% cooked foods. I recommend 80% or more fresh, raw foods.

So, if one needs animal foods (and follows the above mentioned guidlines) to rebuild their body for a short time and then have the rest of their lives to be vegetarian and healthy, I believe this is small price to pay for a long and healthy life.
