Eating

Eating has a direct correlation to the bacteria in your GI tract. Eating determines intracolonic pH which is the driving force for our bacterial assortment and GI microbiome. One of the things that Lyme Disease does is alter pH, both in the GI tract and in the periphery. IMO, the most important physiological function in the body is to regulate pH. Without pH regulation, we die very quickly. The quinolinic acid formed from having Lyme Disease must be dealt with and the body uses all of its resources to raise pH. In some cases, the body runs short on bicarbonate, the primary pH regulator in the cells and must use "alternate" routes of buffering acid. I will go as far to say that the ammonia increase in the body (both GI tract and elsewhere) is due to the body's need to raise pH. It's using ammonia to help itself. The ammonia is absorbed through the portal vein where its high pH can be utilized. A problem with this method of acid regulation is that if ammonia can get through the tight junctions of the GI tract, so can bacteria. This is how translocation occurs. Brain fog and confusion are a small price to pay to stay alive. The ammonia forming bacteria are primarily gram negative anaerobes which tax our immune response. Our body has to allocate a percentage of our immune system just to take care of these bacteria. If you are a big meat eater, you have less immune response available to fight other "things" because you are using so much of it on dealing with the increase in gram negative anaerobes and TMAO production. There is a lot more to it than just this but just think about the amino acid methionine as being bad. Foods high in methionine are detrimental to long term health. Studies show that Brazil nuts are very beneficial to health in small amounts. Two brazil nuts a week is sufficient but any more than that hurts long term health. Is it because of its high selenium content or is it because of its high methionine content? I'd guess selenium, but that's a guess. We don't need to eat a lot of sulfur as Lyme patients (methionine has sulfur) as we often have issues breaking it down and eliminating it. Some Lyme patients feel better eating sulfur and animal protein and that is to be expected. It's the lesser of two evils. If you can't detox enough, your body will tell you that pretty quick. I learned that one the hard way. They probably did too. I'll throw a couple articles in just for some easy reading. A lot of these articles say red meat but when you get into the biochemistry of what is going on, it is meat in general. I could post many dozen articles like these and if I had a dollar for every minute it took me to read all of these articles, I would be rich.

I'm mostly pescatarian with some lean meat here and there, usually chicken. I feel and perform better with more protein (from animal sources) and little carbs, aka a keto diet. Bodies are all different.

I gave the keto diet a go for 3 weeks. Its all I could handle. I lost about 10 lbs. I don't have 10 lbs to lose I really don't. I counted calories I have no idea how I lost weight. I was spooning out coconut oil at times during the day. I was always right around 20g net carbs per day. I tested myself with a urine kit it showed I was barely producing ketones. Humph!!

A vegetarian southern hunter from Georgia? lol That's hard to believe, what's your diet consist of throughout the week Georgia Hunter, I'm sure you still eat meat throughout the week. The brain and testosterone needs the fats from meat in order to function, as well as the protein, that's the main problem with the vegetarian diet, as you can not get enough healthy omega fats from fish oil and eating seaweed chips for your brain or testosterone. I suspect if you're a multimillionaire like DiCaprio you could do it, take a testosterone supplement and buy a sh!t load of supplements, but at one point or another you have to get some healthy meats in your diet. Your immune system depends on testosterone and protein which is made from meat and fats.

I've read about the harmful effects of eating too much red meat can lead to cancer others disease and I absolute believe these studies. However, there's a big different between baked meat and fried meat, grilled meat and fried meat. Grilled even drains a lot of the bad juices and cholesterol from the meat.

I believe most Americans health aren't suffering from too much meat in their diet, it's processed foods that's high in sugar, carbs, and meats that are coated with flour(carbs) and fried. That's what's mainly leading to the health epidemic and it's been shown sugar industry paid off scientists to shift the blame from sugar to fat. A lot of people still fall for it to this day, concentrating on calories and total fat, instead of watching carbs and sugars.

It's projected by 2050 that 1 in 3 adults will have diabetes, this isn't from eating too much meat and fats.
https://www.cdc.gov/media/pressrel/2010/r101022.html

And really, you don't even need a study to tell you this, just go over to Qatar where corporate America brought all their fast food companies to their country.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyq7klfocty

I suspect if you're eating a food that's laced with sugar like McDonalds french fries, then oxidized in oils turning them into trans fats, potatoes in general being high in carbs, then potatoes also being a niteshade food. I can't imagine what that does with the inflammation of the body, microbiome, and then leads to chronic disease. I remember hearing a young boy just recently that went blind by eating pringles and potatoes.

The misconception of Americans and Crony Capitalism is that you still have a choice, just like George Carlin said, it's a deceitful lie sold to the public.

Americans no longer have a choice how much glyphosate is in their grain, their wine, their water supply. Just like fluoride in the water or 5g rolling out. Corporations are making the choices for Americans and it's all based on mass profits. When you go to a Doctors office, do you have a choice for pain? No, they tell you opioids are safe and non addictive.

A good documentary to watch about sugar and carbs is Fed Up. Scientists have shown sugar lights up the same parts of the brain just like the addiction to cocaine.
https://youtu.be/acubvowwfwm

I think the combination of foods laced with glyphosate that acts as an antibiotic on your microbiome and foods also laced with high sugars and carbs is just a setup for complete failure of the American health, considering what both of these can do to a healthy microbiome. But here we are, showing the rest of the world acting like our system is working, convincing Qatar to eat fast food, and use Monsanto's patented seeds and lovely herbicde glyphosate. Although some of the countries in Europe banned that herbicide and GMOs, I remember when Monsanto set up shop in France, the French burned that crap to the ground. Way to much complicitness in America, we've owned by the corporations that make decisions based solely on profits, maybe it's the flouride in the water supply? Which most of Europe also banned by the way... Then Americans wonder why they are so sick and overweight. It ain't meat I can tell you that much, not yet at least, until Prion disease starts spreading.
https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/health/2019/02/06/nashville-father-four-dies-human-form-mad-cow-disease/2793275002/

But you can blame the corporate food companies for that one too for feeding cattle their own flesh, who would of thought right, cannibalism would turn out so bad? lol

PS... From an American who knows from experience of watching other Americans all die around him, don't let these crony capitalists into your country, burn Monsanto down to the ground if you have to....

I suspect a good diet is all about moderation... You have to get enough fruits and vegetables to complement the meat and limit your meat consumption.

Wrong, you don't need the fats from meat in order to function. You get plenty if you eat a few ounces of nuts every day. Testosterone levels are actually decreased as we age due to down regulation to inhibit parasite growth. I've read the study and have it saved somewhere. Vegetarian isn't good enough, Vegan is the way to go. I did eat about 1 ounce of chicken last night and that is probably why I haven't slept good tonight. It's the only meat I've had all week. IgG is the main immunoglobulin that is utilized upon eating of meat. Anti-Gal makes up about 1% of our immunoglobulins which is the largest percentage of all immunoglobulins. It's that important that we reduce the negative effects of animal protein ingestion. There are some benefits to eating animal protein, but we must also consider the negative effects. I try to eat a small amount of animal protein once a week, a very small amount. If you look into the Vitamin B-3 issues we Lymies have, tryptophan and tyrosine availability becomes an issue and is probably one of the reasons so many of us have anxiety/OCD issues.

Charlie55 said...

It actually is. Eating animal protein with carbohydrates increases insulin spikes. Eating mono or polyunsaturated fats (the good fats) actually decreases insulin spikes. Fiber also slows insulin release and insulin spikes are what cause us metabolic issues and disease.

Diversity is the key to getting more nutrients and not getting too many harmful chemicals. Restricting methionine intake is the key to reducing many issues at the cellular level. It's not just meat, it's cheese and dairy.

Oh good lord, advocating the vegan diet lol... I'm done

What is the " downside"of vegan diet?

What I'd really like is an up to date book on nutrition. With details on what every vit mineral and any other does. Where it's available, how it's processed, what it needs to be processed effectively. What they need to be paired with etc.
Any suggestions?

The downside? I dunno, anti-nutrients, lectins, inflammatory foods, too many carbs, frankenfoods like Beyond meat, reliance on GMO soy for protein (soy is bad for you regardless), lack of bioavailable amino acids from animal protein, too much fiber (yes, fiber is problematic)....

Sure there are problems with the SAD but that doesn't mean meat is bad for you especially if it's grass-fed/organic. And yes I'm including red meat as well.

Charlie - constipated on a vegan diet? Doubt it.
It’s fibre that keeps things moving along - which you get on a vegan diet.

Too much fiber can cause blockage and constipation as well.

"5 Reasons Why Veggies Can Have Toilet Troubles Too"
- Too much fiber can also cause vegan constipation
https://happyhappyvegan.com/vegan-constipation/

Oils, probiotics, and carbs also get bowels moving as well. Here's a link on how low-carb diets can cause constipation

https://www.verywellfit.com/how-to-ease-constipation-on-a-low-carb-diet-2242092

I suspect that's always been a benefit of dairy: the oils, the carbs, lactose, and probiotics that helps keep things moving along. Strip that out of your diet with vegans and vegetarians, you can get blockage. As well as those that strip dairy out of ketogenic diet and supposedly the paleo doesn't use dairy either.

That's where you might have to use magnesium, algae omega supplements, acacia fiber, enzymes, and probiotics to keep things moving.

And on top of those you'll have to use Vitamin B12, Vitamin K2, Vitamin D, and protein supplements as well. And if you know about vitamins and supplements, they don't always absorb as good a foods.

It ends up very costly and not very practical for the average American that's already living pay check to pay check along with paying for health insurance, car insurance, student loan debt, you name it. And if you have Lyme, I don't see it happening, many are already broke...

There's many that do it for a few years, they feel good, but then their body gets so deprived of protein and fats that a lot of them end up passing out when exercising or at work.

I get why people do it too, due to the excessive carbon in the environment from cattle(climate change), as well as it can be very healthy, more power to you! Problem is most Americans don't have the determination and discipline to keep eating the vegan and vegetarian healthy foods, many end up turning to candy, chocolates, soy ice cream. I've seen it with my own eyes, but there's those that do have the the determination, but seeing how majority of America is overweight already, it's just a very impractical diet for the average person. A good start is getting on a low carb/no sugar diet and just cutting out processed foods, instead eating whole foods and meat: Nuts, Seeds, Fruit, Vegetables, Chicken, Turkey, Grass Fed Beef, Eggs, and Fish.

That's a good point, you can get some a lot of fat from nuts, but all the omega fats you need for testosterone and brain in a day? I'm not so sure, they say our predecessors tended to have been on a paleo diet, which was hunt and gathering: meats, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. I've heard some say our brains have evolved faster due to eating more meat throughout the ages.

I minored in anthropology in college and have quite a history in the field. What is wrong with what you said and what people think is that Paleo people ate a lot of meat. They just didn't. They only ate what they could catch or kill and it was divided among everyone in the clan. If you split an opossum with 15 people, you won't get much opossum. Coprolite studies of Paleo peoples show that they ate 10 times more vegetables than animal protein. How many animals would you kill if you didn't have a gun or bow? I was one of the best hunters around and I wouldn't have killed squat without my bow. I'd eat turtles and snakes and they divide up less than an opossum. The omega-3 benefits are actually a myth but you get plenty from nuts and seeds.

Charlie55 said...
Man it's just so darn tough though, expensive and not very practical for most... I suspect some can do it like Leonardo Dicaprio who have the strict mentality and money, but man, I've seen a lot of fat people claiming to be both vegans and vegetarians, all of them seem to make up their hunger by scarfing down soy ice cream and other crap that's unhealthy for you. Yet they're still not in shape like me... I mean I suspect there's those Vegans in California I always hear about, lol, that are ripped and insanely healthy, but again, those people got money and it's like a friggin religion out there..

I didn't say it was easy. When someone is hungry, their body is telling them they need something. It is often the bacteria in our GI tract that tell us what they need. That can be good or bad. Take a big Dr Pepper drinker and make them stop drinking them cold turkey. They will wig out. Those dying yeasts are trouble.... Your favorite food is also important. Some people like seafood, they may need more iodine. Some may like steak, they may need more iron. There is a lot to be said about what people crave.

Charlie55 said...
What's your opinion of Women being on a vegan or vegetarian diet when pregnant,

Eating a whole plant based diet is actually much more nutritious than eating a heavy protein laden diet. It's not even close. Folate requirements should be addressed prior to pregnancy but whole plant based diets have more than enough folate. No one on a plant based diet is protein deficient. In 26 years of practice, I've never seen anyone protein deficient. If just doesn't happen in America. Meat has also been shown to be contaminated with metals about 3 times more than plants.

Charlie55 said...
Yes of course, I totally acknowledge the high cancer risk of eating red meat. But the meat you get from fast food or restaurants, is a lot different than the meat that's from the grocery store, especially if you buy grass fed or organic.

It is not just red meat that is causing the cancer, it is all meat. It is a methionine based issue that the meat lobby has done a masterful job containing. It's even a better job than the tobacco lobby of the 70's and 80's. Without getting too technical, cancer is a polyamine driven disease. The more meat you eat, the more polyamines you have. This increases your risk of cancer, and not just GI cancer. The more acids you eat, the more problems you have. Remember, our immune system is responsible for maintaining our GI bacteria and eating meat decreases the good bacteria and increases the bad. Eating acids does this too. This lowers immune function and will decrease the likelihood of finding and eliminating cancer cells. There just isn't any literature that can put two plus two together because of all the variables. I can see it but many will not.

Charlie55 said...
did you catch this clip of a Hunter named Raymond Peeler that got bit by a Lonestar tick and got the alpha gal allergy? Man, after watching this, I would of never thought the allergy could be so bad. Watch the video man, he became unconscious at some points after eating meat. Just a switch of a diet and he went back to fully functional human being, is that incredible or what? I mean what if he had borrelia too and just going on the vegetarian diet actually cured his lyme as well?

Yes, I have seen Lyme patients cure themselves by altering their diet. They often don't have multiple pathogens like most have on this forum. It's much more difficult with multiple pathogens. I had a meat allergy initially but don't think it was the same as alpha-gal. It was more along the lines of what some protozoans do when they alter the ornithine cycle. This disrupts nitrogen elimination and you see more ammonia build up upon nitrogen ingestion. Something like that is probably affecting many on this forum.

By the way, UFOs are now real, according to the Navy.

My brother has a top secret clearance and is in the know about a lot of things. He said Navy pilots have to sign a non-disclosure agreement and speaking of such engagements would go against that agreement. They would be kicked out of the Navy. He has seen the footage of some of their videos and isn't sure what they are seeing, but doubt is from extraterrestrials. He won't tell me anymore but if something is entering our atmosphere from space, he would know.

Been a healthy choices vegan for twenty four years. Instinct eating for me. Last year I started eating eggs on occasion as my young son was drawn to them and they are so easy. At any rate. I've been successful with the vegan diet.

Would love to have an up to date resource on nutrition.

Those tests you mentioned, the Urine test and data test, would you reccomend?

I think with everything including vegan, you have to do it the healthy way and keep learning and modifying...

Charlie, you have managed to get Georgia Hunter to engage big time. That’s quite an accomplishment, LOL!!! I’m enjoying reading all the comments on this thread. Very enlightening. Makes the technical stuff easier to understand and relate to.

Georgia Hunter has a lot of great knowledge, grateful he's sharing, he's helped me tremendously with my diet and ammonia issues.

Well if you're eating eggs and other meat here and there, I hate to break it to you, you haven't been a vegan for 24 years.

I also had a friend that claimed to be a vegan and ate eggs and fish, but told others he's a vegan. Problems is many do start slacking on their protein/omega fat consumption, they start noticing it because they tend to be always hungry and weak at times, they eventually give in to chicken, fish, and eggs at times.

My girlfriends sister was a hardcore vegan for 7 years, then she started passing out on the treadmill and lifting weights because she wasn't eating enough protein.

But hey, more power to you, I'm glad your diet is working for you... And I'm sure what you're doing is a lot, I mean a lot more healthier than the majority of Americans. I'm glad you're trying to make a difference for yourself, a good role model for your kids, and the planet.

Again, like I said above, I wonder if a vegan diet is nutritious enough for a pregnant woman, hearing some of the stories about miscarriages and children coming out wrong, hence Prince's wife.

I think all diets have their drawbacks and what they lack, you'll probably have to take supplement to make up for it. But a lot of times supplements aren't all created equal, they lack absorption compared to foods like meat, and they can have a lot of contaminants in them. Majority of protein shakes all tests with heavy metals, even vegan and organic ones, some are definitely safer than others of course, like I'm sure the organic protein powders are safer, but again, this goes back to the cost of being a vegan and getting quality supplements and consuming enough vitamins, omega fats, and protein... All hoping the supplements will absorb properly and aren't contaminated.

"Heavy Metals in Vega Plant-based Nutrition Products"
https://myvega.com/blogs/content/vega-heavy-metals-testing

"Arsenic, Lead Found in Popular Protein Supplements"
https://www.consumerreports.org/dietary-supplements/heavy-metals-in-protein-supplements/

I wish the world was a perfect place and everything was pure, but it isn't, so you have to factor in that too. I think humans could basically live off of fish everyday like the Eskimos, fish is one of the healthiest sources for Omega fats and protein, but yet fish is so contaminted now and it was just reported that mercury levels are even higher now. But even the Eskimo diet wasn't perfect and they suffered from Atherosclerosis, hardening of the arteries throughout their brains, hearts and limbs. You have to include vegetables and fruit within the diet for the enzymes, fiber for cholesterol, and other vitamins and benefits. Both need each other to keep a healthy balance I suspect...

Again, I believe no diet is perfect, but it seems every few years a new one comes out and becomes a popular fad for people think it's the perfect one. For some it starts to become a religion, you start to question that, people get offended. But honestly, I think it's good people start looking to these diet fads and new lifestyle changes, because for a lot of them, whatever they're doing now isn't working.

I have the utmost respect for vegans and their ideology, but expecting the whole world to eat this way, I think it's highly unlike. However, maybe one day... I mean they are starting to develop some great alternative burgers like the impossible whopper and beyond meat. And scientists are also working on ways to develop meat just from stem cells to prevent the amount of greenhouse gases from cattle, I definitely won't be the first to try the stem cell meat, but who knows, knowing this country some of us may be eating it already, lol, considering how they used all of us as test tube babies with GMOs, glyphosate, vaccines, and 5g. You question some of this stuff and you're considered a conspiracy theorist... Crazy times were living in my friends, just glad the majority of HealingWell.com members on here question these things, considering the history of the lyme vaccine and the IDSA/CDC/Government basically flat out lieing about chronic lyme.

If supplements come down in price, along with vegan/vegetarian foods like the impossible whopper and beyond meat, I can see myself converting over to veganism eventually, but right now I have to make way for paying for my LLMDs, antibiotics, and supplements just for Lyme.

I do think if many Human beings changed their diet to ketogenic, paleo, vegan, or vegetarian they wouldn't be suffering from so many disorders and dependent on drugs like xanax, opioids, and steroids. But hey, I don't blame them, they've obviously been deceived and manipulated by corporations and the leaders of this country in more than one way. Hence the sugar industry paying scientists, that's just the tip of the ice berg...

"50 Years Ago, Sugar Industry Quietly Paid Scientists To Point Blame At Fat"

I suspect when one that's put their entire faith into a crony capitalistic system that has already shown to be broken, considering the recession of 2008, now some say we're about to enter another recession, it leads to a very scary outcome for a lot of people.

And yes, the system isn't working, it was just announced the other day a man got a simple back surgery that cost him $650,000. Between the cost of health care and student load debt, these alone will be enough to sink the country.
https://www.valleynewslive.com/content/news/back-surgery-saved-him-from-paralysis-then-the-bills-arrived-over-650000-561179481.html

This is the same system that bombards you with fast food commercials, take this drug to mask your pain and disease, then it's time for surgery, now you're disabled and completely in debt. And when their is a treatment for a chronic disease like Lyme, Doctors don't want to cure it with antibiotics, herbs, or supplements. Doesn't this all sounds strange to you? Like maybe big pharma, food corporations, and all these lobbyists don't have our best interest in mind? Don't kid yourselves, the people in charge knew what they were doing when they incorporated all of this. Both of the documentaries Prescription Thugs and Fed Up explain this.

Prescription Thugs - https://youtu.be/u2d08z2wpsm
FED UP - https://youtu.be/acubvowwfwm

Maybe we can find that balanced between a healthy republic/democracy and capitalism again, whatever we're doing now ain't working... I just hope for the best it all works out, I have the utmost empathy for those getting caught up in the system, it's just not your fault. Sadly I think many are conned into saying, well you still have a choice between foods and healthcare treatment. Oh we have a choice? When 90% of the grocery store is littered with processed foods laced with sugar to get you addicted. As well as glyphosate in everything, including a lot of the healthy foods?

Again, I think George Carlin was right and he knew what was coming. Modern day fascism isn't going to come with Naz! flags, it's going to come with a Nike logo and smiley face.
https://youtu.be/1cg6ku3rrny?t=231

But you question any of it, you're considered a communist. Isn't that interesting? Considering last time I checked, this country was based on a republic not crony capitalism? People are being manipulated into believing into a system that's meant to benefit just the upper class, sadly even the upper class doesn't realize the planet is wasting away because their too busy eating tofu on their million dollar Yachts like Jeff Bezos and want to plan on using their money to terraform mars, ummm, why not try and concentrate on the problems we're having right now. Both of these two corporate neoliberals Bezas and Steve Jobs make me sick, like Bill Burr said, people acted as if Steve Jobs was God and hero of some sort, did he cure cancer? Last time I checked people were jumping out of his buildings to commit suicide for the awful working conditions of making his stupid little worthless ipods. And honestly with all the Californians with their vegan diets claiming they have the perfect lifesytles, yeah last time I checked you have a major homeless problem over there and there's starting to become an increase in TB outbreaks, the Black Plague, amongst others. Are the homeless going to be able to go vegan too? lol

I do too but that doesn't change anything. What we like to eat and what we need to eat are two separate things. I wish I could eat steak and chicken and be healthy but I can't.
