MD Letter To The Truth Barrier Describes Despair At Effects Of No Meat and No Fat: "I Never Met A Vegan Who Knew Anything About Plant, Animal, or Human Physiology."
He Never Met Even One Vegan Who Knew What Cholesterol Was Or What Its Purpose Is "Sad To See How Few Vegans Make The Connection To The WHO."
Note from Celia:
This may sound like virtue signaling but bear with me: I am adamant that no bullying, scolding or “trashing” of vegans take place here. (And nobody has.)
I say this because I am making a post here out of a doctor’s testimony and I have judged it to be a sober, important and non-bullying text. BUT, the line is thin, (meaning, we could easily descend into bullying without even realizing it) and I want to “signal” that we are intent upon never, as much as possible, othering or mocking anybody. We want to reach people who are putting their lives at risk—not alienate them.
Arguing powerfully with facts against people whose ideas are actually killing people is different from bullying.
With that said, here is the comment submitted to TTB beneath today’s post, by one “Chuck,” who is an MD, and used to witness the ravages of veganism in his patients daily, but had no way to get through to them:

“As a former clinician in a VERY Liberal leaning city on the West coast of ths U.S. I used to encounter vegans as clients all the time.I learned a lot by talking with vegans. First thing I learned is that they are the least informed people regarding nutrition. I can report, I never met a vegan who knew anything about plant, animal or human physiology. But of course they had bold claims of being "higher consciousness", eating the apex healthy way, and claims of being 'ethical'. It was not an easy task to listen to this countless times while at the same time watching my countenance.
“There are many things wrong with a vegan way of eating, but one of the easiest ways for me to reach them deeply was when they clearly lacked cholesterol. Cholesterol is very healthy for humans (the entire paradigm on cholesterol taught to doctors is incorrect by the way). So when a patient would report hair loss, no libido and similar symptoms, I knew immediately they were well into their veganism. They needed raw eggs (ideally). Cholesterol is THE foundational building block of the steroidal hormones in the body. Period. I met exactly zero vegans who knew this however. This was just one big problem I noticed when seeing these people clinically. They had a FEELING you were wrong and that's the measuring stick they apply in life when determining the veracity of something. I find that it is quite often the people who are all pathos (feeling), and no logos, in life, who are the easiest to propagandize (this is very key to understand, in my opinion). Feelings are quick and easy to have and require no effort, whereas logos (logic) requires one to have read something, assimilated some kind of information.
“They also were not informed on ruminant animals, and how they are designed to process plants, for humans. Nor on the realities of antinutrients and plants. Thankfully nowadays antinutrients is a hot topic online and there's lots of information out there. There's also many many former vegans now coming out about how disastrous their apex healthy lifestyle was for them. And there's good books like "Vegetarian Myth" which are also worth reading. This books, and others, delve deep into how many animals are killed when growing vegetables. I won't even both going into the junk food vegans and what a disaster they are.
“Sad to see how few vegans make the connection to the NWO and who is pushing so hard for things like veganism; but it is quite tough to pierce through the veil of smug arrogance and narcissism many of them seem to carry. Same people pushing "the future is female" gibberish. When Bill Gates and his ilk support something, you just know it is anti-human. They just continue on with their extreme deficiency based lifestyle and claims of ethical superiority. Many seem to come from a background of eating disorders I also noticed. Ironically, with all of their required B-12 shots and other supplements, they are supporting one of the largest greenhouse gas producers - BigHarms.
“There's so much more to say about how errant veganism is nutritionally. Veganism is very harmful for human beings. Feels like the word is spreading now, which is good to see. There's some great resources for information on antinutrients these days, here is a short list:
Dr. Ken Berry
Dr. Georgia Ede
Sally K Norton
Weston A Price Foundation (also a great resource for vaccine info. - check out their quarterly journals online and the "vaccine update" section)
Dr. Anthony Chaffee”

Errr - I'm an ethical vegan (and have been for many years). I am certainly not young! I was once a veterinarian, then an epidemiologist, then a scientific editor specializing in medical texts, so I know quite a lot about physiology (many species), medicine, nutrition and animal welfare (and indeed the WHO...). I have indeed worked in slaughterhouses, and on livestock farms, but that was before I became vegan. Please don't make generalizations.
I am so tired of people telling everyone how to eat. As though one size fits all FOREVER.
Yes, quality of the food is essential -- which has everything to do with how it's raised and grown. So it's not really a good comparison when Industrial mono-culture agriculture is pitted against local, grass-fed animals.
Here's a quote from my piece, "Freedom from Foodogma:"
"Vegan? Paleo? Keto? Lion? Omnivore? The answer will always be: it depends.
What are you trying to achieve? Are you looking for healing? Is your illness acute or chronic? How old are you? Are you breastfeeding? What kind of work do you do? Do you live in a warm or cold climate? Is it summer or winter? Where are your ancestors from?
Then there’s the food itself: what is the quality of it; where and how was it grown? Factory farmed or biodynamic? Was it processed? Is it canned, frozen, cooked? If it was an animal, what kind of life did it have? What kind of death did it have? I could go on and on..."

Each unique individual needs something different, at different times of the year, to do different activities, and at different stages of life. A vegan diet might serve someone who needs it for healing; ditto carnivore. And the way to figure out what is best for one's own body is to LISTEN TO THE BODY, rather than listen to everyone else, and make adjustments based on what the body is telling you. Haven't we all had enough experts telling us what to think and do?
