Oh quincy. I am a hardcore vegan, but an informed one. So lets not speculate on what I "sound" like. I gladly take the title of "hardcore vegan," but will respectfully have to disagree with the...
Sibby, check out something like Dr. John McDougall's "The Starch Solution." Eating vegan doesn't mean eating just lettuce or any lettuce at all ;) The Starch Solution - John McDougall MD:...
Meat is the slowest digesting food to put in the human body as it typically takes 3 days or more to move through your entire digestive tract. That's 3 days of dead animal tissue putrefying in your...
Sure, whoever originally started this thread was a newbie to this forum and perhaps the disease. I'm certainly not and I gave my experience and 2 cents. I KNOW a low fat vegan diet put me into...
I've achieved endoscopic remission with a low fat vegan diet. This is from someone who was steroid dependent for over 5 years and have been on mesalamines (oral/enema), 6-MP, Remicade and Humira. As...
Protein is not going to help you gain weight but if you do want a protein supplement, I'd advise: Plantfusion Vanilla Bean. Mix it in the blender with some almond milk, bananas, berries and perhaps...
Gee London_Gal, only the most comprehensive study on diet and disease known as The China Study has shown that high carb, low fat lifestyle reduces the chances of you getting bone disease, heart...
I'm just going to ignore you personal attacks on me and focus on facts, like I always do. The nations you mention do have the highest per capita of consumption of dairy, spot on. What they also have...
There is NO "healthy" milk. I don't care if it's raw milk squeezed out the breasts of Wonderwoman or a an "A2" cow. Drinking milk from an A2 cow makes no difference when it comes to the fact that you...
Hi Sibby, I would encourage you to check out some of my past posts on a low fat raw vegan diet: Vegan Cure , 30 Bananas for 30 days and Banana Topic . I'm a strong advocate of a strictly all fruit...
Considering milk has over 60 active hormones in it I would avoid dairy at all costs, especially cheese. It takes 10 pounds of milk to produce 1 pound of cheese. That means in each bite of cheese you...
What you are experiencing is more of a sign of healthy digestion. Fruit moves through your intestines fast and when the bowels are exceptionally clean, you'll notice that your stool is the color of...
India is now seeing more and more cases of inflammatory diseases, auto-immune disease, heart disease and diabetes. All related to higher intake of meat, dairy and processed food consumption as more...
Fried anything is not good for people with UC or anyone else for that matter....
This report is very speculative both historically and scientifically but nonetheless interesting, thanks....
Again, completely skirting the issue. List the "Dr's" medical or academic credentials. She and Holistic Blends, Inc are making their money from the numerous fake blogs setup that redirect to her...
Hilarious, InSoFa posting from another one of his/her fake accounts. You copy and pasted that quote about "Dr. Sherry Brecia" from the Great Taste, No Pain website. Please, great defender of this...
Put simply, anyone who does a 5 mins of research will see that the "Great Taste No Pain! Manuals" being hocked to everyone with digestive diseases or problems is a scam. The author of these "manuals"...
That Harvard health blog post is purely speculative. As it concludes in the end, "Experts still have a long way to go to connect the dots between fructose and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease,...
Or he or she just wasn't visiting this forum for a year. I've been a member since 2006 and I'm not a spammer....
If you are not having any issues with salad then perhaps you should eat a head of romaine lettuce everyday. Since you are not interested in a special diet; I don't think more can be said on this...
For sure, refined sugar is garbage and should be eliminated. :)...
janey47, one reason might be that the president of the CCFA is paid close to $500,000 a year....
No Admin is concerned that the link: http://cureforulcerativecolitis.com/step-1-methodology-to-eating is an affiliate marketing website that leads to scamster Sherry Brescia's "manual" which you can...
Hi InSoFla, out of the sake of disclosure, is that website yours? The whole "blog" is just a tool to make money off of affiliate marketing links. Buy our report, buy our supplements or hey how about...
What has led you to the conclusion that you need to go "sugar" free? The whole human body is fueled by sugar. The question is, where can we get this sugar and put the least stress on our digestive...
A truly misleading article. Refined sugars and sugars from fruit are NOT the same. The American Diabetes Association says "Therefore, the use of added fructose as a sweetening agent is not...
I'm an old participant actually, look at my join date. I am not some "troll" out of the woodwork trying to provoke anyone. Like I've stated before, I've met a bunch of people from this forum in...
I said, "please share some resources/evidence on auto-immune diseases in wild animals that are not domesticated or in human controlled environments." I didn't question anything. I also didn't just...
Gavriel, please share some resources/evidence on auto-immune diseases in wild animals that are not domesticated or in human controlled environments....
I'm not fan of herbal medicine personally. That being said, I will not rule out the effectiveness of certain botanical elements to have effect or relieve symptoms. Gavriel's modus operandi on every...
Well said boumboumbambino....
Sorry about that Sherry. I just read your post after I posted another reply to Gavriel....
Yep, Remicade is so safe that over 56,000 people have reported adverse side effects from it. How absurd it is to postulate that food might be a causative factor in triggering and in the maintenance...
Hi Gavriel, I mean no disrespect as I ask you this question: Have you even read all of the posts in this thread? It appears you have not. If you did, you would realize I have been off medication for...
Gavriel, please stop with the mud slinging. In another post, you've called for me to be banned. I don't claim to know everything. I give my opinion based on scientific data, logic and reasoning. If...
Hi Hellokitty, it's really hard for me to give an opinion with your situation without knowing more details. There are many pieces to this puzzle. For instance, what medications were you on? Were you...
Hi boumboumbambino, awesome to hear you are taking serious consideration of a low fat raw fruit diet. I was in the same boat as you. I also tried to implement a low fat raw food diet many years ago...
I find it very bewildering that the social aspect of eating for some users is so important that they would rather continue to suffer than adopt or try this way of eating. If eating out with friends...
What does having "canine" teeth prove to you? That we are carnivores? Omnivores? If that is the case, please walk up to a live cow and bite into it. Kill it with your ferocious canines! Eat its raw...
All calories are not the same. Are the 3,000 calories you get from eating BBQ or McDonalds the same as the 3,000 calories derived from fruit? Depending on the ratios of carbs, fat and protein will...
I am suggesting 30 bananas so that people get an ample amount of calories. Bananas have about 100 calories each. 30 bananas is around 3,000 calories. Bananas were a suggestion, I also stated if you...
Hi Eva Lou, there are literally THOUSANDS of different kinds of fruits. Lets say you did just eat only bananas for the rest of your life but regained your health, do you really think it's not worth...
Hi McGut, what in the world would make you think I'm "trolling" for negative feedback? I've been on this board since 2006 and met some of the people on this board in person. Like i said in my...
Hi Sherry, I remember you from when I very first joined this board. :) Your intolerance to fruits and veggies is not something that is just specific to those with inflammatory bowel disease. Many...
Hi Hellokitty, I'm familiar with those websites. There is a HUGE different between a raw food diet that is high in fats and one that is low in fat. A high fat raw diet promotes the growth of candida....
Quincy, it doesn't deserve a response but yet you felt compelled to respond and mock it? Thanks for your mature contribution....
Hi Dsm4life, the potassium contained in bananas is potassium ion, which is water soluble. Any "excess" potassium would by flushed out of the kidneys without creating any sort of burden. Most people...
Why not give it a try and see how you feel in a month? Simply eat 20 to 30 bananas a day for a month. If you dislike bananas so much that you can't stand eating them, try it with a different fruit....
I just wanted to pass along a good article I read from Dr. David Kleins blog: http://davidkleinphd.wordpress.com/2010/01/25/is-your-food-digesting-or-rotting-in-your-gut/ It outlines a lot of the...
