Returning from a trip to attend memorial services for a dear vegetarian friend who died of Cancer.

Almost everyone I saw has Cancer, too.

And they all say:

“Why am I sick? I eat such a healthy diet, mostly fruit, vegetables and plant based!”
When I suggest it might be a chronic lack of protein, B-12, carnitine, carnosine, minerals, collagen, saturated fats and iron...and too much sugar and oxalates they are in complete denial. #vegan #cancer #breastcancer Image
I ate a lot of hummus, nut butter, tahini, rice, vegetables and fruit. (To be polite.)

I secretly cooked steaks on a small stove I travel with.
Everyone seemed simultaneously famished— but bloated/obese (or “skinny fat.”)
It breaks my heart to see so much premature aging, early death and suffering from the disinformation of the #plantbased lie.
@LowOxCoach1 makes the connection between #oxalates and #breastcancer in this article. I have to wonder if all the kale chips, green smoothies, wheatgrass and “alkaline” powders are actually making us sickly. hormonesmatter.com/dying-too-youn…
I urged her to eat bone broth and “starve” the cancer with low carb ketosis.

My friend died very quickly when her cancer moved from throughout her body and blood.

She went on a trendy vegan juice cleanse to “cure” her cancer, as advised by her naturopath. Image
She was barely 60 years old.

This is the 4th friend I lost to Cancer this year.

Several others still valiantly “fighting” aka feeding their cancer with juices 🥤
Studies have shown that sugar (carbs) increases Cancer risk, as well as makes cells grow faster. So the concept of feeding your cancer a “cleansing” of juices, or a vegan (high carb) diet is misguided. beatcancer.org/blog-posts/5-r…
Study: Low Carbohydrate, High Protein Diet Slows Tumor Growth and Prevents Cancer Initiation. #lchf #keto Cancer Research, 2011. integrativecanceranswers.com/stop-cancer-ea…
A #ketogenic diet is the opposite of what I see people in the #vegan #consciousness community eating...and I have to wonder if there’s a connection to the skyrocketing #cancer epidemic I see. But if I even mention “keto” people get angry and defensive.
The idea of “starving” cells of growth by inducing ketosis is backed with research and studies. The addition of oxygen (exercise or hyperbaric) intensifies the success. drsircus.com/oxygen/killing…

Who is blaming #cows 🐄 for #carbon?

We should be blaming 🚗 ✈️ 🚤 🛻 🚀 ⚡️ 🏭 and manufacturing--not cows munching grass!

It's illogical and ridiculous!

We had ruminating animals #grazing Earth for millions of years before cars, airplanes and factories!
Grass itself "captures carbon" and puts it back in the ground!

As "carnivores" it's time to re-educate the vegan 🌱 community about nature!

Plants and grasses "inhale" CO2 and "exhale" oxygen.

Cows help fertilize and create grass!

To think otherwise is a special kind of ignorance about nature, farming and science!

Visiting my old home town and feeling lonely, I realize with heartbreak that most of my friends here have died.

Mostly vegan.

Mostly Cancer.

40s, 50s, 60s.

Too young.

Coincidence?
This the same town where I started innovating as a vegan caterer in 2003.

We have an outstanding vegan-centric all organic health food store with a vegetarian salad bar.
The area once had one of the top raw vegan restaurants, Lydia's Loving Foods.

As well as the pioneering Café Gratitude.

An outstanding farmer's market.

Even the food bank has organic produce!

When I first started #Veganism, I was 41, healthy and athletic. I did yoga daily. You might have called me "fit."

But I was freezing cold, even in summer sun, lost my period and went flat chested.

Something was wrong.

I was starving myself "for the animals."
I wore padding to disguise my totally flat chest.

My cheeks were hollow.

I covered cystic acne with makeup.

My hair fell out so I wore wigs.

I got collagen to fill my deep nasolabial folds.

So much denial.
I compared my body to fashion models, celebrities like Madonna or Sarah Jessica Parker. I didn't think I was too thin.

But the lack of body fat lead to hormonal issues.
