Not eating the animals is shedding new light on a lot things. LOVE that you brought up the lack of "protein deficiency". I think that all of this is ingrained in us from such a young age - I almost have to shake off everything I thought I "knew" and begin again. Thanks again for the insight...

My second job was working on a cardiac floor. A common theme of overindulgence, too much meat, too much fat, too much fried, too much processed, too much indignation, too much denial... Too little thought, too little motivation. I remember seeing a video presentation by Dr. Klapper who works with Dr. Furhman. He made a remark about no one being admitted due to "acute lack of protein". All too true, in my experience. It's always uncontrolled hypertension, acute renal failure, uncontrolled diabetes, MI, unstable angina, etc. Diagnoses related to wanting what we want and wanting it now, taking the easy path. Like 3-year-olds throwing themselves against an electric fence! Thanks for that image. Ahh, so frustrating, your mention of Nexium brought back memories of the last AM med pass.

Thank you for facilitating Ayurveda in my life. Some may say it's complicated and intimidating but even the simplest practices - if practiced daily - make a huge difference. We have the power to change all of this mess. How do you stop yourself from yelling it from the mountain tops of NZ? Mainly... I just want to scream my Pitta head off :)Lauren McHughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07050283026634706525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764289894803283221.post-44226286960032581482010-10-31T17:30:06.893-07:002010-10-31T17:30:06.893-07:00From experience teaching and practising Naturopath...From experience teaching and practising Naturopathy and Ayurveda where usually any recommendation requires some participation on behalf of the client, the vast majority of our Western population simply don't want to help themselves or put effort into making their lives healthier from the inside out. They'll exercise because they look better and maybe feel better while doing it, but use your food as a medicine - not many!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08815646166513149576noreply@blogger.com
