I think part of the misunderstanding lies in the fact that some people thrive on vegan-ism, and others (like myself) get ill with extreme energy loss. In the end, everyone has to listen to their own body and determine what it is right for them. At the very least, we can all reduce our consumption of animal products to a few times a week if necessary.

Low blood cholesterol slowly breaks down the brain making people more violent and unstable. Humans are the only chronically sick species on earth, and it is because of our diet. Go carnivore and watch everything that ails you heal. Plant foods are not necessary, and often harmful.

We all have fangs as a reminder that we as humans are supposed to at times eat meat. I believe is not just for the Omega family of nutrients but also there something about the actual meat (flesh) that helps to activate bodily processes that we as humans requiere.

A week ago or two I was fed up with declining health as I started getting really bad heartburn which made me want to literally just go and kill myself. And I was not even eating ANYTHING that should trigger this! I been living off millet, broccoli, greens, quinoa, rice with ONLY himalayansalt and pepper as condiments, olives, berries and almond milk (and similar items, like FODMAP), eating slow, small amounts, liquid before or after not during etc… AND LOTS OF SUPPLEMENTS been tried!! Why the hell can everyone else eat 10x more rubbish and suffer nothing?? I have a history of eating disorders (eating too little) while on a pescaterian diet (age 12-19) and vegan fad and balanced diets (age 20-25). I realized staying vegan is no longer something I can do if I want to have any quality in my life. Symptoms I started experiencing through my 5 years of veganism listed first to last: Cold extremities (always been prone, but is also linked to eating disorders), hairloss (ongoing, but my hair grows out fast so that means like half of my head is always filled with weak babyhairs), bowelproblems (constipation mainly), insomnia (because bowelproblems kept me awake all night), dry skin —- more recent things that suddenly appeared, especially after and during carb/fruit diet low in fats = weight gain with strange collection of fat mainly in my thighs and stomach (mild lipoma?), with plenty of cellulite, which was really really strange for me as I always been really slim. Dry eyes, bloating every day, strange sounds from stomach (way more than normal), lots of gas, clicking joints, fatigue, lack of motivation, intense mood swings, intense heartburn… and that was it. I had enough. I found my way into Omega 3s and Vitamin A as there are forms of these that vegans miss out on which you have explained. The word inflammation is so familiar and close to me now, I’m like 100% that is my main physical problem, although I’m also sure that stress worsen this beyond the edge. I had a stool-test in my teens which clearly showed inflammation of my bowels (I remember that was actually a GOOD day, what is a bad day then?), but nothing was done about it. I had plenty of stress in my life and all health issues adds to the stress creating a really nasty bad circle of more pain and more stress. I never knew (and still don’t know fully) what came first… stress or health issues? Anyway, my instincts told me that I have to turn this around if I want any quality in my life. I just recently found my soulmate as well and he is such a big inspiration for me wanting to get better. Most of the time I’m not able to be the best version of myself, but I want it so badly now. I can’t function normal anymore and haven’t been for a long time, but I have too many goals I want to pursue. I am too creative, too intelligent and eager for new experiences to let my lethargy continue to get the best of me. I didn’t care once, now I do. A few days ago I started taking strong fish oil Omega 3s … guess what? The heart burn faded over 3 days. I had stopped my supplements to exclude any of them was the cause of the heartburn (I’ve been experimenting with mind-boosting vitamins, extracts, herbs and nootropics to battle anxiety). I’ve added most of the supplements (mostly vitamins) back, but the heartburn has stayed away, amazingly, stomach is evening out too. Knock on wood though, I still think it could be a bumpy road ahead. I’ve added fish and eggs back into my diet. Even tried some goats cheese, and my stomach did not get any worse than it already was. It is hard though… psychologically it is hard to change back to (firstly) pescaterian because I’m still against animal suffering, but the thing with me is that I could kill an animal for food. I am against abuse, unnecessary pain, fur, animal testing etc., and I always will be. I will always be mindful, that part of me is always there. Seeing that so many people turn away from veganism (including me) makes me realize there is a problem. I don’t think veganism is the one and only answer to “save the world”, I no longer think it’s an effective approach at all. The mass industry needs to disappear, a good and realistic aim would be to support local farmers and happy grass-fed animals. Forcing people to become vegan in order to save the world is not going to work if we really want to make a change…. back to subject on health. I’ve been switching my supplement routine completely, from who-knows-what-quality-multivitamins, “superfoods”, herbs etc. to good quality vitamins and amino-acids with proven benefits, many of which are found mostly in animal foods, like vitamin D and taurine. My diet is now higher in protein, much lower in carbs, and there is already a big noticeable difference. My weight has dropped (been going up and down but mainly down since ditching fads and fruitdiets, few past weeks definitely seen the greatest difference, although other health issues still present), only a little cellulite remain. I’m finally building muscle and strength. I went to the gym yesterday and jogged on the treadmill with good incline switching between fast pace walk for like 30-40 min. I usually do the cross-trainer (they were getting upgraded so they had been taken away) because I’ve felt too faint for the treadmill and scared I would lose my balance and fall off. Yesterday surprised me, when I was done running I did not feel faint at all. I felt really really warm and pumped and good and not at all fatigued and completely drained like I used to! I used to need around 20 minutes of warm up to get past that stage of shortness of breath. Now I don’t even think I had that, I just fell into a comfortable pace at once with no trouble breathing and not gasping for air. I suspect that my circulation is doing so much better and getting more oxygen to my cells, vitamin E could play a big part in this. My eyes are getting lubricated again too, I thought about it when you mentioned it in your text, which is a symptom I’ve never paid much attention to. I used to force myself to yawn so my eyes would tear up, I don’t need to do that anymore. One more thing is, I kind of know myself too well by now for knowing that my mind don’t fall into the placebo effect. I seriously had every reason to wake up really cranky yesterday and still it was one of the better days mentally I had in a long time without ANY stimulants. The Omega-3 is all I can link to, of course I’m skeptic because I’ve taken so many “magic pills” that never works but… my mood was really really different and noticeable and I would never have guessed a natural supplement could make such a difference. Thanks for sharing your story.

Which part of I was already on about 25 supplements, had multiple massive deficiencies, and supplements were not working was not understood?

Why don’t choose those instead of giving up veganism?

My impression of myself and others while they are on a vegan diet is that the “hate” toward animals simply gets transferred to other areas of life. So the problem is not solved. Thanks for sharing.

My gf recently has adopted a vegan lifestyle and has created much friction… Not because I dispute any of her ideas but because all she directs outwards is hate and disgust and I can’t handle being constantly attacked just because there’s a pizza commercial on TV.

Hi Justine, unfortunately some symptoms never have resolved entirely. I did though start feeling better and experienced much more clarity of thinking within a few weeks. I would imagine it varies by person. Only you know what’s right for you. I would encourage you to follow your gut and intuition about eating other foods and see how you feel.
