This Post Is Not For Vegans/Vegetarians Who Feel Fine; It is For People With Severe Depression, Ready To Try Something Very Simple To Find Relief and New Life-- Permanently
As someone who decided to go full strict carnivore with my husband a year ago, I can’t tell you how THRILLED I am to see Celia taking on this wildly important topic. My husband had MS and where there were lesions on his cervical spine, now they are undetectable. He also was clinically depressed and is now off all meds and JOYFUL. His testosterone level has increased, and as a side bonus (because it truly is a side bonus) he lost over 150lbs.
I was insulin resistant and was losing my hair. No longer. My hair grew back thicker and fuller than ever. I no longer have insomnia. I no longer need the pain meds I was taking for degenerative disc disease. I had IIH. I no longer need my diuretic every day. And as a SIDE BONUS I lost 20 lbs.
This is the Proper human diet. God bless you for shining a light on this miracle to replace and bury big pharma with WELLNESS.
Thank you Tracy! I find this comment so important I wonder if I should make a post of it. Actually—better idea. I will take a whole collection of comments here and make a post. This is what happens when you put this out there, people just relay one remarkable stunning healing story after another. It's jaw dropping.
You might want to check out Kelly Brogan's work around diet and coming into a baseline to come off psyche meds. I believe it's based on having meat in one's diet.
I think many have had great success with it.
She went from being a psychiatrist who prescribed meds to doing a complete turn around because of a personal health issue.
She was trained by Dr. Nicholas Gonzales (he died suddenly while she was working with him. It was not vaccine related. Seemed suspicious) who was curing cancer in his patients using specialized diets for his patients needs. Most diets were carnivorous with healthy fats. Kelly Brogan has changed how she eats now leaning more vegetarian, vegan however she recommends meat and fats to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Right, very important. I was at Dr. Gonzales' memorial service though I did not know him. Robert Scott Bell invited me. Gonzales was trained by Dr. William Kelly who nobody talks about, but they should. He cured himself of pancreatic cancer with enzymes and also, one of his cases involved a girl who was dying of a metabolic illness, he cured her with beef. (not sure I'm getting details right, will look it all up and correct if need be.) Maybe Kelly was one of the sparks that eventually turned into the Carnivore revolution. Believe it or not a NYC chiropractor told me Dr. Gonzales left a message on Suzanne Somers' answering machine that his life was threatened, and not for the first time.
Yes, sadly, it seems to me that Kelly didn't cope well with her latest divorce. I hope she will balance out her emotions in a positive way soon, because her knowledge and professionalism is valuable and needed. 🙌🏻
One tablespoon per day of (purified Norwegian) Carlson fish oil (that's 15 mL) will effectively treat depression and bipolar disorder in over 50% of cases because of the kinds of omega-3 fatty acids it contains. Butter and cheese (& presumably fat) from grass-fed cows also contains omega-3 fatty acids, DHA (stabilizing, antimanic) and EPA (elevating, antidepressant).
Flax seed oil has EPA, but not DHA, so won't help mood swings, but may help depression.
Daily exercise in the sun is very good, as is putting your hands in the soil to grow vegetables, and then eating them, through benefits to the gut microbiome, which are also antidepressant/anti-anxiety.
It may cause constipation in the very beginning, but it resolves. I void once or twice a week now - and that’s normal. There isn’t much waste when you are only consuming meat. Your body uses 99% of it.
THANK YOU for sharing this. About a year ago, I started eating carnivore as an experiment, after watching Mercola interview Shawn Baker. Not only did my body feel amazing, I was also surprised that my anxiety went way down. The celery juice guy is a fraud - he looks so unhealthy, I don't know why anyone listens to him.
IT is import to understand we are, as a rule, are malnourished. We don't get the correct proteins, in the correct amounts, trace minerals and vitamins. We are fed corporate junk food replete with seed oils and sugars. So, meat is one way to make up for the deficiencies in other areas of our diet. You don't have to eat meat to do this but that requires a conscious understanding of what to eat and supplements to take.
Now, to those who want to eat meat, it behooves us to know how the animal is raised and what it was fed. There is an energetic component to eating another animal and eating an animal that lived free on a range, was pampered by its caretakers, and put down humanely provides a different energetic experience to the human eating it than consuming a facgtory farmed sick, anemic, disconnected animal.
When we eat confused life forms we become confused.. not just mentally, but physiologically. Eating an animal bred to STUPEFACTION that can't reproduce without assistance and would never be able to survive in the wild, is not the same as eating, let's say a wild buffalo.
For the same reason you don't want to eat plants than can't reproduce themselves or have been hybridized into a confused life form, ie GMOs.
We all need to think more about this because we are not just what we eat, but what we think as well, and we need to think about what we are eating on all levels - not just what goes into our stomachs.
That's right. I realize I was severely, severely malnourished from the age of about 6. Even once hospitalized and fed intravenously (age 6 or 7.) Crazy. Malnourishment causes mental illness. It seems very clear to me.
The food supply has been progressively poisoned. As a vegetarian I didn't know that almost all grain and legume crops were sprayed with Roundup before harvest starting in the 90´s. See Dr Seneff´s book on glyphosate (an active ingredient in roundup). So, due to agribiz practices, we are all mineral and vitamin deficient, as well as poisoned with herbicides and pesticides. I moved abroad in 2010, and found the GAPS diet by Dr Natasha Campbell McBride. She explains the gut biome and how to care for it with fermented veg, saturated fats and meat. I cured hyperactivity in my son, gut dysbiosis, asperger´s in my daughter, and major brain fog, hair loss and chronic colitis in myself, in a matter of weeks! Now, we get milk from a cow 2x per week, I make my own yogurt, sauerkraut and ferments. I know the families that produce our eggs and meat. We don't eat anything from a box or tin. No edible products, just food. Its hard to eat out, though.
Total sense. I've thought this for a long time. It matters how an animal is killed. That energy will always pass on to the consumer and influence their behaviour. Explains a lot. Another concern is the shite that is pumped into animals. and now MRNA.
They also get anti-parasitics, Ken. When I took 1.87% percent of the stuff that must never be named, 2022-2023, I reasoned that most horses are way more valuable than I am. In fact, any time I get near a horse, I am myself quite aware I am in the presence of a being that ought to be treated like royalty because they are. Royalty.
I had extreme anxiety about two years ago that I had been dealing with for probably better than five years. My wife suggested a very low carb, carnivore diet. In three weeks the anxiety was gone. Closest thing to a miracle I've ever experienced. Still on the diet.
no disrespect to the plants-only crowd, but i went vegan for about a year after fukushima. because i eat a lot of fruits and vegetables anyway i thought it would be easy. boy was i wrong. always in a bad mood, always hungry. actually gained a little weight. went back to my old habits and within a week i was my old self. make of that what you will
never got into the full vegetarian, but not a great meat eater. Recently a new store opened, which carries lamb and sometimes bison meat, and wow it is so good. My dog also is a great supporter! We have a mixture of teeth, so we are not all veggie eaters. I think if you are healthy a mixed diet is best. I don't think I would like an all meat diet, but a colleague long time ago lost a lot of weight on an all meat diet, to the surprise of all!
My moderation such as it is tells me that people who feel fine, are ok, not depressed, etc, can be omnivores but this way of eating is a lifeline for the severely depressed and they (we) must be strict. I am not always strict and I pay the price. This diet is also hugely important for dogs and cats.
I have fed both my cats (one just passed at 17) raw, no hormones meat their whole lives and kept them away from kill shots. Can’t remember last time I took to vet.
cats have seen vet only once, when they were sterilized. They are both 7 years old. Dog has had some stomach trouble and seems to be allergic to chicken (I know this from a friend who helps at the vet). Dog is almost 9. I hope they all live a long and healthy life! Been to doc may be 4 or 5 times in the last 15 years. Avoiding docs and hospitals by all means, that is where the sick people are! and the docs around here are all pill and jab pushers.
I hear you. Here too. My friend, a retired veterinarian recently told me all the independent vets are being bought by corporations. Bad news! I learned a lot from a book I read years ago, The Nature of Animal Healing. The author, Dr Martin Goldstein I believe has a documentary, which I have yet to watch.
Apple cider vinegar (diluted in water and mixed with the dog or cat's food), in the right dosage, can be helpful for their gastrointestinal system and the urinary tract.
I am not an evangelist for one diet fits all, nor for a black or white approach to the ethics of eating. Taurine is a key ingredient in meat that is not available in large quantities in other foods. If you're not into meat, you can supplement taurine.
For many years I did juicing for my health. It did not work, and many symptoms got worse, (weight gain, brain fog, skin issues). I stopped eating raw veggies, now I only eat cooked, and focus on animal protein. No sugar. No caffeine. Don't have depression, at sixty I can walk 8km and 300 stairs easily in a day. I do take astaxanthin; it reversed my gray hair and alleviated terrible floaties in my eyes. (They were so bad I had to give up golf - I could no longer watch my ball! They are completely gone now). Thank you for voicing the counter narrative; almost everything we have been told is 'healthy' is not. Get the word out!
Wow. I too would love to know the manufacturer of whichever Astaxanthin supplement you use for health support. I've had floaters for decades (I'm 65yo now). Despite tending very well to my body at this point in my life (Ayurveda and meat) and outliving dire prognoses - the floaters only increase. Mercola is a big proponent of Astaxanthin - I haven't yet tried it. Thanks so much!
Thanks, Celia ~ I've watched a couple of his daughter's talks about carnivore, but hadn't heard about his experience of floaters diminishing. Compelling for sure.
You might find interesting that floaters appeared in my world in 1977 when I did a hyper-brief stint in the Navy in 1977. Just long enough to get all the vacks-injex in boot camp, before realizing I was not made for the military. The vacks-injex landed me with what was then called 'non-A non-B hepatitis' ... later re-named Hep C. The prevalence of 'non-A non-B hepatitis' / Hep C in Vietnam era veterans (1977 is in that era) is tremendous. Lawsuits have been filed and won by many veterans who became ill so-called with Hep C via air-jet guns. Veterans cannot discuss details of the settlements.
Why do I mention this to you? Because so-called Hep C (just like so-called HIV / HTLV) was never isolated, and is considered the first 'RNA virus'. The 'viral load' test for Hep C - ? Yup. PCR.
More nonsense, bought to you by, the FDA / CDC / NIH / HHS / DoD / USA gubmint.
I'm guessing whatever they called non-A non-B hep (later named Hep C) is just whatever man-made pathogen they concocted at the time. An early version of today's nonsense? Maybe.
It's not a virus. It's a pathogen of some sort, sure. But how to isolate a laboratory pathogen - ? Not using Koch's postulates.
Anyway, someday the backstory of these intrusions will be revealed. Meanwhile, those of us who been lab rats (which is ALL of us, to greater of lesser extents) do the best we can to regain and maintain our health.
I'm glad that some veterans received financial recompense for their suffering. I wasn't actually a veteran (3 weeks of boot camp is not serving the country, that's for sure) so that wasn't an option for me.
I get these things that block some parts of my vision so that I see things but don't really if you get my meaning. Is that what you mean by floaters? If I close my eyes while they are present I see them as jagged objects shimmering. Is this floaters?
It is an extract from seaweed; the strongest natural anti inflammatory and antioxidant you can get. I started taking it 11 months ago, Dr. Amy Meyers, 12 mg daily. I dye my roots and my husband helps with the back of my head. Three or four months in, he said one time, "geez honey, there is no more grey in the back of your head. It's gone!" I was flabbergasted. Had no idea it would do that. It reduced Gray by 70% after six or seven months. Now he takes and his hair is darkening again. Then recently, I just realized one day the floaters were gone. They drove me nuts. Big black blobs smack in the middle of my vision. It is purported to be good for eye health but WOW.
CRAZY! My husband took it when his retina got detached when he was "choked out" during jiu jitsu. He took that along with saffron and acupuncture. His doctor could not believe his retina healed.
When taking care of my niece w/ tongue cancer I ran across a dr who advocated that no one should eat raw anything. Quite the opposite of Gerson and the juicers but he thought the body needed all the help it could get to break things down quickly.
Different bodies, different cures. Potassium and iodine was big too tho... she had a potato skin/grrens broth too.... biggest hurdle was all the work involved!! Every hour??? And you had to press the veggies.
I really appreciate the video and the honesty. Everyone's bodies are different and food is medicine. I tried going off of meat at one point because I was dealing with some health stuff. It was during the huge green smoothie phase. I started drinking tons of green smoothies with spinach in them and felt like total crap while doing it. I guess, long story short--our bodies know what they need and balance is key. Keep an eye on what they're trying to take away from us and know that there's a reason they're trying to take it away, and it's not because they want us to be healthy and happy.
I think that’s all great if you can find meat that doesn’t have all those chemicals in it that they inject in the mother when she’s caring the baby, inject in the baby animal after it’s born and also as an adult.
strange isn't it, that since such a lot of jabs are given, almost all people have some allergies. Since I came to this country and had to take 7 jabs, I am allergic to a few scents. I love the smell of certain soaps but they make me sneeze and if I use them some make my skin itchy! I blame it on the jabs
bless you ! I did not stop using the soaps either, but I don't use them on daily basis. Have to be careful with laundry though, don't want to go round sneezing, unjabbed here too, and there are still covidiots around!
While I'm extremely happy for everyone who's felt healthier/lost weight/lost depression/staved off diabetes, anxiety, etc., w/ carnivore diets, I just want to point out that all those problems may have been (& likely were) caused by having cell phones; in fact, I couldn't help noticing cell phones sitting around early in the video. Though it doesn't even have to be cell phones. Diabetes, obesity, depression, fatigue, memory loss, hair loss, etc. are just a few of the long, long list of illnesses caused by electricity, which slows down the functions of cellular mitochondria, which in turn causes unburned fats to collect in arteries , etc. etc., as Arthur Firstenberg explains in great detail in THE INVISIBLE RAINBOW. Just imagine--200 years ago, ppl were able to eat lots of refined sugar & white flour w/out getting sick or dying from it.
The Vegetarian Myth by Lierre Keith is a wonderful book that can educate on the hazards of the vegetarian way of life. It can wreck you & world governments for some reason are pushing these diets on to the masses? Meat Bad, Vegetables Good? The 2nd Smartest Guy in the World Substack always ends his posts by stating, "They want you Dead, Do Not Comply."
Supposedly the latest documentary, You are what you eat on Netflix is a bit convincing, but way off base. Niece/Nephews are quoting the well produced film backed by Beyond Beef/Vegan advocates. They follow 20 sets of twins, split them/vegetarian & omnivore diets. Track them for 8 wks, that's it? Guess which group comes out on top after lab work? They put emphasis on LDL not hdl/triglyceride ration? Insulin/nope. Don't compare with Keto/Low Carb, Paleo nor Carnivore?
Having suffered most of my life from IBS and its complications, I think I've tried every diet there is. What I learned is that there is no magic bullet diet. Thankfully... everyone is different. We all respond differently to food. What works great for one person might be bad for the next . I'm not carnivore, vegan, vegetarian, keto, high carb or low carb. It has taken me decades to determine what works for me - a mix of all of the above, in moderation. But it is all fresh and prepared from scratch, by me, in my kitchen. Much of the meat is local wild game or animals from my farm or nearby farms. Much of the produce comes from my garden or nearby gardens. Most of it is cooked in lard from my pastured pigs or butter from pastured goats (when possible), or from pastured cattle.
If how I eat needs to be pigeon holed, I would call it ancestral not-a-diet.
I’ve had to cope with serious depression — sometimes accompanied by suicidal ideation — since college, basically for approximately fifty years. I’m sure glad though that I never tried to go vegetarian or vegan.
I certainly would, if my depression and my PTSD got unmanageable with cognitive behavioral therapy. I know that I would be doing A LOT better if I cut out processed sugar from my meals and grazing. That stuff is both toxic and addictive. I can’t seem to give up chocolate and fruit juices. I know that I have to take greater responsibility for my mental health in this area.
Sugar is not really the problem, unless you eat tons. Its the glyphosate residues on it. The diabolical molecule; it destroys all life, every system in the body suffers.
As someone who decided to go full strict carnivore with my husband a year ago, I can’t tell you how THRILLED I am to see Celia taking on this wildly important topic. My husband had MS and where there were lesions on his cervical spine, now they are undetectable. He also was clinically depressed and is now off all meds and JOYFUL.

Dr. Kelly—Dr. Gonzales—Dr. Brogan
That's the sequence.
Now what about pancreatic enzymes and cancer?
Yes!! I believe Dr. Kelly was a dentist?
Yeah I remember her speaking about him. I know it was such a loss for her.
I don't follow her work anymore. Her approach isn't resonating with me.
That's awful to think about those who have been targeted for success outside the box of pharma. Too too sad.
Yes, sadly, it seems to me that Kelly didn't cope well with her latest divorce. I hope she will balance out her emotions in a positive way soon, because her knowledge and professionalism is valuable and needed. 🙌🏻
She is doing what she feels called to do. Following her own path.
It just doesn't align with mine. No judgement there.
Enzymes were a huge part, if not the primary part, of his protocol, which he got from Dr Kelley.
Right. As per my last comment: "Dr. Kelley, Dr. Gonzales, Dr. Brogan," is the sequence.

i keep trying carnivore but the constipation it creates is deadly...
It may cause constipation in the very beginning, but it resolves. I void once or twice a week now - and that’s normal. There isn’t much waste when you are only consuming meat. Your body uses 99% of it.
If constipated on a carnivore diet, eat more fat.
THANK YOU for sharing this. About a year ago, I started eating carnivore as an experiment, after watching Mercola interview Shawn Baker. Not only did my body feel amazing, I was also surprised that my anxiety went way down. The celery juice guy is a fraud - he looks so unhealthy, I don't know why anyone listens to him.
Yah, well look at Mercola now. He is for carbs-30% of calories and from "good" sources. This flip flopping drives me nuts.
I saw that - not sure to do with that flip flop! :)

They also get anti-parasitics, Ken. When I took 1.87% percent of the stuff that must never be named, 2022-2023, I reasoned that most horses are way more valuable than I am.

I had extreme anxiety about two years ago that I had been dealing with for probably better than five years. My wife suggested a very low carb, carnivore diet. In three weeks the anxiety was gone. Closest thing to a miracle I've ever experienced. Still on the diet.
The good wife. Bet you're glad you listened to her
Exactly! I was desperate....ready to try anything.
fantastic.
no disrespect to the plants-only crowd, but i went vegan for about a year after fukushima. because i eat a lot of fruits and vegetables anyway i thought it would be easy. boy was i wrong. always in a bad mood, always hungry. actually gained a little weight. went back to my old habits and within a week i was my old self. make of that what you will
Wasn't that fun? You heard your body, healed yourself, that's how God made us.

I'm glad that some veterans received financial recompense for their suffering. I wasn't actually a veteran (3 weeks of boot camp is not serving the country, that's for sure) so that wasn't an option for me.
I get these things that block some parts of my vision so that I see things but don't really if you get my meaning. Is that what you mean by floaters? If I close my eyes while they are present I see them as jagged objects shimmering. Is this floaters?
I have the same issue. They're optical migraines. No pain, supposedly no big deal. Doctor said they are caused by a spasm on the optic nerve IIRC.
Thank you, that's good to know. It seems to happen at the same time though right after I eat my first meal of the day
Agree...😉🥹
Please tell me what brand of astaxanthin do you take. Your recovery sounds remarkable.
what is that Alison?
It is an extract from seaweed; the strongest natural anti inflammatory and antioxidant you can get. I started taking it 11 months ago, Dr. Amy Meyers, 12 mg daily. I dye my roots and my husband helps with the back of my head. Three or four months in, he said one time, "geez honey, there is no more grey in the back of your head. It's gone!" I was flabbergasted. Had no idea it would do that. It reduced Gray by 70% after six or seven months. Now he takes and his hair is darkening again. Then recently, I just realized one day the floaters were gone. They drove me nuts. Big black blobs smack in the middle of my vision. It is purported to be good for eye health but WOW.
Oh how interesting.
CRAZY! My husband took it when his retina got detached when he was "choked out" during jiu jitsu. He took that along with saffron and acupuncture. His doctor could not believe his retina healed.
It is an oily red carotinoid from some algae
When taking care of my niece w/ tongue cancer I ran across a dr who advocated that no one should eat raw anything. Quite the opposite of Gerson and the juicers but he thought the body needed all the help it could get to break things down quickly.
Oh my goodness. Gerson. I had forgotten. All that carrot juice. Nothing but sugar and oxalates. How did people recover from cancer on that?
Different bodies, different cures. Potassium and iodine was big too tho... she had a potato skin/grrens broth too.... biggest hurdle was all the work involved!! Every hour??? And you had to press the veggies.
To give carrot juice its dues, it does improve eyesight, so there is that. Beta carotene, the good stuff.
I really appreciate the video and the honesty. Everyone's bodies are different and food is medicine. I tried going off of meat at one point because I was dealing with some health stuff. It was during the huge green smoothie phase. I started drinking tons of green smoothies with spinach in them and felt like total crap while doing it. I guess, long story short--our bodies know what they need and balance is key. Keep an eye on what they're trying to take away from us and know that there's a reason they're trying to take it away, and it's not because they want us to be healthy and happy.
I think that’s all great if you can find meat that doesn’t have all those chemicals in it that they inject in the mother when she’s caring the baby, inject in the baby animal after it’s born and also as an adult.
You can online. Look up grass fed meat without shots. Here's one to start you off with: https://discover.grasslandbeef.com/blog/fact-check-no-mrna-vaccines-for-cattle/ Also go on realmilk.com to find a raw dairy farmer in your neighborhood. These farmers usually sell meat and many other good foods as well.
Well, wow. If I did suffer from depression I would absolutely do this. Good info, which I will share. Thank you.
Also don't forget all of the bovine liver supplements that are out now. These will help too.
Wow.
I knew none of this...
I'm a carnivore, and also enjoy my carbs.
I hadn't realized that diet and mental health are connected.
When I grew up, no one had a peanut allergy, and don't recall anyone being lactose intolerant.
Diet?
Vaccines?
Preservatives in food?
Over-processed food?
strange isn't it, that since such a lot of jabs are given, almost all people have some allergies. Since I came to this country and had to take 7 jabs, I am allergic to a few scents. I love the smell of certain soaps but they make me sneeze and if I use them some make my skin itchy! I blame it on the jabs
Approaching 70, and unvaxxed...
Funny though, I put fresh ground pepper on just about everything... I sneeze violently, but I won't stop using.
I get over it after 6-8 sneezes...
bless you ! I did not stop using the soaps either, but I don't use them on daily basis. Have to be careful with laundry though, don't want to go round sneezing, unjabbed here too, and there are still covidiots around!
While I'm extremely happy for everyone who's felt healthier/lost weight/lost depression/staved off diabetes, anxiety, etc., w/ carnivore diets, I just want to point out that all those problems may have been (& likely were) caused by having cell phones; in fact, I couldn't help noticing cell phones sitting around early in the video. Though it doesn't even have to be cell phones. Diabetes, obesity, depression, fatigue, memory loss, hair loss, etc. are just a few of the long, long list of illnesses caused by electricity, which slows down the functions of cellular mitochondria, which in turn causes unburned fats to collect in arteries , etc. etc., as Arthur Firstenberg explains in great detail in THE INVISIBLE RAINBOW. Just imagine--200 years ago, ppl were able to eat lots of refined sugar & white flour w/out getting sick or dying from it.
The Vegetarian Myth by Lierre Keith is a wonderful book that can educate on the hazards of the vegetarian way of life. It can wreck you & world governments for some reason are pushing these diets on to the masses? Meat Bad, Vegetables Good? The 2nd Smartest Guy in the World Substack always ends his posts by stating, "They want you Dead, Do Not Comply."
Excellent.
Supposedly the latest documentary, You are what you eat on Netflix is a bit convincing, but way off base. Niece/Nephews are quoting the well produced film backed by Beyond Beef/Vegan advocates. They follow 20 sets of twins, split them/vegetarian & omnivore diets. Track them for 8 wks, that's it? Guess which group comes out on top after lab work? They put emphasis on LDL not hdl/triglyceride ration? Insulin/nope. Don't compare with Keto/Low Carb, Paleo nor Carnivore?
Having suffered most of my life from IBS and its complications, I think I've tried every diet there is. What I learned is that there is no magic bullet diet. Thankfully... everyone is different. We all respond differently to food. What works great for one person might be bad for the next . I'm not carnivore, vegan, vegetarian, keto, high carb or low carb. It has taken me decades to determine what works for me - a mix of all of the above, in moderation. But it is all fresh and prepared from scratch, by me, in my kitchen. Much of the meat is local wild game or animals from my farm or nearby farms. Much of the produce comes from my garden or nearby gardens. Most of it is cooked in lard from my pastured pigs or butter from pastured goats (when possible), or from pastured cattle.
If how I eat needs to be pigeon holed, I would call it ancestral not-a-diet.
I’ve had to cope with serious depression — sometimes accompanied by suicidal ideation — since college, basically for approximately fifty years. I’m sure glad though that I never tried to go vegetarian or vegan.
would you ever try this?
I certainly would, if my depression and my PTSD got unmanageable with cognitive behavioral therapy. I know that I would be doing A LOT better if I cut out processed sugar from my meals and grazing. That stuff is both toxic and addictive. I can’t seem to give up chocolate and fruit juices. I know that I have to take greater responsibility for my mental health in this area.
(Thanks, Celia, for the response.)
Sugar is the beast. I still struggle with it. I need to never ever have sugar because if I have a little I fall off the wagon.
Stay on the wagon, friend. Hang on for dear life. 😊
Sugar is not really the problem, unless you eat tons. Its the glyphosate residues on it. The diabolical molecule; it destroys all life, every system in the body suffers.
Absolutely.
Thanks for the info

She is now eating a WestonAPrice.org type diet and doing/feeling very well.
