Everyone need...I absolutely LOVE this documentary. Everyone needs to watch it and leaders heading the FDA and other health administrations should take responsibility and begin implementing new practices!! No more jeopardizing people's health to make an easy profit! And good for you losing all of that weight and being an inspiration to others! :-)Jaclynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189138331711109816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881461933331707149.post-47806356732711198912011-05-17T15:19:28.790-07:002011-05-17T15:19:28.790-07:00i followed this link from my facebook newsfeed bec...i followed this link from my facebook newsfeed because i noticed the forks over knives mention... and i just wanted to say that i became a pescatarian over a year and a half ago to combat my multiple sclerosis and endometriosis. suffering from both diseases impacted almost every part of my life - i was having episodes so much that it became nearly impossible to eat without becoming extremely ill. i used to lay in the bathroom floor or my bed for hours in agonizing pain (even putting that into typefont makes it sound dramatic, hah) and wish that i didn't have to eat or move again. i started going to a new neurologist who referred me to the McDougal research that MS patients who switched to a vegetable-centric diet with no beef/poultry/pork products saw a drastic improvement in overall health. i've always been rather lackadaisical with my eating habits - i love food, but not enough to cook it myself - so it was a huge change to eliminate the largest part of my diet. i'm haven't had meat in so long now that it just seems like an integral part of my life, something that is no longer a choice but a resolution. i'm happy to say that i haven't been seriously ill in over a year, my episodes have been stymied to mere tingling and the occasional tired spell, and i owe it all to doing something as banal as cutting out meat. i'm setting my sights on dairy next, as soon as i can learn how to cook ;)<br /><br />so i guess you could say that i'm living proof that taking an active part in your diet can change your life, as hackneyed as that sounds! didn't mean to write a story, but it's something i ardently identify with. thanks for posting this, i hope more people start the change.<br /><br /><3 annaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
